Chapter 165 - Part Two: Assassin Ed's Plan



On the other hand, Assassin Ed views the file. After reading it, he felt its very easy to finish this mission. So he looked at the masked man\'s eyes and answered, "I\'ll do it. But my price would be expensive." He said it straightforwardly. After all this is best chance to get so many credit points.

Hearing his words the masked man has pensive look on his face. "Sure, there is no free lunch in this world. "He said to himself.

Then he looked at Assassin Ed and asked, "How much do you want?"

"Make it double than usual!" Assassin Ed replied.

Hearing that loud buzz rang in marked man\'s head. "I shouldn\'t have asked him. But if he take up the order. I\'m sure he will do it without glitch." He said to himself. But imagining future prospect, I couldn\'t help but feel happy. He immediately commented, "Okay, Assassin Ed. Make it quick as possible. Once you done it. I will transfer the amount."

Then both of them ended their call within few minutes.

...

(Zack\'s POV)

The following days Zack continued his routine as usual. He will either accompanied by Mr. James or Mr. Arthur in Hansen. He spends rest of his time training in gravity and honing his combat skills. Hutson and rest of the rogue cultivators couldn\'t find chance to near him.

Few daring ones eliminated by Elder Thornton before they could near him. Elder Thornton almost become hermit by guarding Zack day and night. He carried his backpack stuffed with snacks and fruits. A four days later, Zack return to his home from Hansen centre.

I entered my room, then quickly went to take long shower. A few minutes later, after wearing my casual clothes. I began to read news articles. Since five days most of the news reported about the strange incidents in Redstone city.

Especially about movements of rogue cultivators inside the city. The city lord\'s patrol team often caught them for inciting violence. I got a nagging feeling inside me that it could be related to me. I let out a sigh thinking that.

When comes to other issues, So far everything is fine. I didn\'t came across any assassin or bounty hunters. Jensen family didn\'t cause any trouble anymore. Even the wind element user seems to be disappear. I know it seems fine on the surface.

I need to be ready for facing any situation. After sitting out my mind. I placed meditation mat on my ground. Then I sat in sitting cross legged and seeped my consciousness into the storage ring. I spot exclusive case and brought outside. Earlier today Mr. Arthur me this metallic case. Looking at this thinking case my eyes shown with bright light.

I knew what it is, there is certain rare expensive item placed inside of it. Thinking about it I feel rather grateful to Hansen management. Couple of days ago I felt blackmailing them to handover the resources. But, they didn\'t take it to heart and even gave me rare blood essence pill of class monster. I opened the case stared at the reddish yellow pill. Then I shifted my gaze towards the description paper. I began to go through it.

<<Robust octave Ant- Peak Class 2 Monster>>

This monster often found in volcanic areas. It is also nicknamed as volcanic ant. It\'s does not have any element. But it got vigorous life energy in his blood. This helps this monster to erupt in more power when fighting against it\'s enemies. This attribute also makes it\'s unique. And this monster is coveted by everyone.

Fortunately, Hansen management able to acquire it. It would be better if its an essence pill of Queen ant. But I feel it\'s okay to have worker ant\'s essence pill. Queen have more strength than others. But, it\'s very expensive. Shaking my head, I swallow this pill without further do. As I recite the blood cultivation technique. The bloody rune ring in my mind began to shine.

As it activates, a stream of warm current flows through my vein. The halo red light envelope the dissolved blood essence pill. In a moment, white energies extracted from the blood essence then they drilled into my bones. As usual agonizing pain assaulted me.

This also become routine. I gritted my teeth and focussed my attention on blood rune. A few minutes later, all the energies drilled into my bone. Finally relieved my pain then, I felt new force generated from the skeleton. My skeleton is more powerful than my flesh and organs. I don\'t know whether it\'s illusion or not.

But, I get a sense of feeling from observing the bones. Finally, I observed my skeleton. The red lines also become shiny in my bones. I carefully observed further to notice the difference. The red lines become more wide, covering 1/3rd of the bones. Usually, body cultivation focused on flesh and organs. Mine is unusually focused on skeleton.

Deep down I\'m very sceptical about it. But, decided to go with the flow. The inheritance requirements is more demanding. It\'s impossible to level up my physique level without the blood cultivation method. Shaking my head, I put those depressing thoughts back off my mind. After that I stood up from the meditation mat and placed it into my storage ring.

"My mood is sullen now. It\'s better to gaze at the stars in night." I said to myself. Thinking that I proceed towards my garden. As I walked down the stairs, I found granny park. Then both of us decided to sit and talk in garden.

On the other hand, Elder Thornton who is munching snacks. Suddenly noticed the activity around the garden.

He is now shifted to adjacent residence to Zack\'s building. He spent so much money to convince the former owners to vacate the house. Especially, he came up with convincing lie to vacate the house. Since, it\'s almost impossible to watch over Zack from sky. He choose this house as temporary hideout. As he notices the movements.

He observed the neighbour\'s garden. Where Zack and his granny were talking to each other. Seeing that surprise glint flashes in their eyes. He noticed something different about Zack\'s aura. But he couldn\'t tell what it is. Shaking his head, he decided to take patrol around the area.

...

On the other hand, Assassin Ed is travelling one city to another via armoured train. He changed his identity as normal citizen for travel purposes. Currently he is staring at information of kill list. There were 10 or so seed candidates remain untouched. After going through their information he furrows his eyebrow.

He understood why the masked man looked pensive. These kids background is really unfathomable. Alchemy clan, commerce family and the Parazam hunter league. As he was going through he looks at the last name. He paused in surprise. The kids name is Zack Lockwood. Observing from the photo. He remembers this kid\'s look.

At first he took the assignment to kill him. Later due to emergency he dropped it. Now he looked at his latest information. His performance in Hansen centre, his threat level is increased to red level. But there is no mention of his ability and faction. His element is remained blank. Reading it he began to ponder.

He knows the masked man personality. Even he couldn\'t gather necessary information about this kid. Only known thing his father is working in the army federation. This level information is too little, there is also mention of previous assassination attempt mentioned in the description. He also looked into the Jensen family information in it.

They too remain silent these days. "What\'s going on?" He said to himself. He hate half baked Intel\'s. If there is backer. It would be too troubling to handle. Shaking his head, he decided to look into his next target. He closed the kill list given by the masked man. And opened the data of the previous mission. His previous mission also involves a kill list. But, it\'s a different kill list given by another major power. It involves removing talented seeds studying in reputed academy.

His next destination is also about this kill list. The kid name is Mark button. He got dual elements of fire and water. Which makes him a rare evil doer. His residence is in Starline city another famous tier-8 city. His family business mainly focuses on clothing industry.

Looking at his scale it\'s a medium-sized industry. What makes him more famous is that he is studying in Saw Scale Viper Academy. It is also b grade branch of the organisation.. Way more prestigious than c and d grade branches.
