Assassination System

From the expression of the healed young woman, Mathias\' experience in life enabled him to take a quick guess about what happened in here as his expression, darkened. Glancing at the Elder from the Detention Hall that looked apprehensive and Dan who looked as nonchalant as ever. He formed an idea in his mind as he said,

"This request from the Emperor of the Empire of Dawn is received, from now on, both of you shall become an honorary disciple of the sect," His words echoed throughout the entire area and even though they didn\'t know what the title of the honorary disciple signified. When it came from the Clan Chief itself, they didn\'t dare to belittle it as the disdain within their eyes dissipated, replaced with complete respect and admiration.

Dan sighed to himself, \'It seems like having a solid background in this world really is a necessity if you want to be respected...\' If not for the recommendation letter that the Emperor bestowed upon them, Dan knew that they would surely be treated as servants with their current cultivation.

The disciples who registered themselves in here had at least a cultivation of the Organ Tempering Realm, and Dan along with his wife who was a realm lower than that would certainly be ridiculed.

"Both of you, come with me, I think someone will be happy when she sees you..." Mathias revealed a slight, amiable smile and Natalie who heard the word \'she\' coming out of his mouth, glared at her husband beside her.

Dan gave a wry smile as he nodded his head. With the help of Mathias, the four floated in the air as they turned into beams of light, flying towards the direction of the Fragrant Peak.

The young woman who recovered stared at their distant silhouette with a slightly trembling figure. One of her subordinates approached her from the side and said, "Young Mistress, should we report this to the Clan Chief?"

She turned to face her subordinate and fiercely said, "Report this to my father? And what can he do in the face of someone who is backed by an Emperor?" She ground her teeth in shame and humiliation.

But still, she knew that with just the power of her clan alone, she will never be able to stand against the power behind the couple. She understood that if she kept standing in their way. She would definitely be annihilated.

"All of you, you better not tell any soul about what happened in here, or else..." She glared towards the surrounding spectators and all of them, who fueled the fire earlier had the same thought, \'Why would we tell anybody about this? It\'s enough that we got face-slapped but sharing our shameful deed is too much!\'

The Elder from the detention hall wryly smiled, calming his quivering body, he stood up and despondently walked towards the Detention Hall. His expression ashen and pale as paper, especially when he heard the Clan Chief\'s words that he transmitted into his ears.

At this time, he could only hope that he wouldn\'t get severely punished...

Meanwhile, at the Fragrant Peak, Mathias along with Dan and his wife descended from the skies. Juliet who felt the sensation of flying for the first time joyfully as she said, "Mama, can we fly again? I wanna fly like the bird!" She gesticulated with her hands and Natalie chuckled, "Of course we can fly, but not today because the bird is tired..."

"Okay, Juliet understands..." The little girl nodded her head and Dan who stood at the side ruffled her hair, "Eh? So this little girl of mine really wants to fly? Who do you want to fly with? Mama or Papa?"

Juliet\'s expression shook and her eyes shone in a light of innocence as her cheeks puffed, painting a scene of absolute cuteness, pointing her fingers at Dan and Natalie, she said, "I want to fly with papa and mama, I want to fly with them together!"

Her words made the two exclaim in happiness as they snuggled together, happily talking to each other to the extent that they forgot the existence of the Clan Chief that guided them to this peak.

Mathias who observed them from the side revealed a small smile. His eyes, shone in a melancholic light as he remembered the moments that he spent together with his daughter, happily talking to each other like a true family would do.

Ever since he became the Paradyne Academy\'s Headmaster, the time that he spent with his daughter, drastically reduced to the extent that she wouldn\'t even look at him in the eye, making him endlessly sigh in regret when he was alone.

Staring at the family of three, he felt that they emanated a vibe of contagious determination which infected his cold heart. And he became confident that he could surely establish the connection that he had with his daughter, several years ago.

Amidst their banter, Dan finally realized that they had been ignoring the presence of the Clan Chief all this while as he turned around and awkwardly scratch his head, Natalie suffused the same awkward smile as Juliet continued smiling on her embrace.

Mathias wryly smiled, "Are both of you, husband and wife?"

Natalie\'s expression flushed and she glanced at Dan as the latter nodded his head, "Yes, Senior, we\'re not officially married yet but I consider her as my wife..."

Mathias momentarily closed his eyes. And when he opened it again, a strange light shone within his eyes as he said, "I see, then that\'s fine, come here, follow me, I will lead the two of you in your temporary residence."

When the group arrived at the temporary residence that Mathias said, they were astonished to find that the identity of that so-called residence was a mansion that could definitely house at least fifty people, it was too enormous that it would be impossible to maintain with just the two of them.

"What\'s wrong? You don\'t like my present?" Mathias\' revealed an ambiguous smile as Dan scratched his cheek, "Ermm, could it be that this is one of the perks that I can get as an honorary disciple?"

Both men stared at each other. Their eyes shining in an ambiguous light as Mathias nodded his head, "Indeed, this is one of that perks, so what do you think? Satisfied?"

"Definitely, so Senior, I thank you for this enormous gift and I hope that you could relay this message to that old man."

Mathias who was smiling all this while, froze when he heard the mention of that \'old man\'.

But before Dan could continue through his words, a fierce light shone and Dan activated Flicker, just in time to avoid the attack that targeted his head. Natalie\'s expression changed and Mathias\' stared at the side in horror.

The sudden attack that arrived astonished him greatly than Dan disappearing from his sight. Diverting his gaze at the source of the attack. Natalie and Mathias saw an emaciated old man carrying a sword that resembled a katana, his eyes narrowed slightly and his lips, lifted in a small smile.

Emerging from Flicker, Dan cursed, "What the hell was that, old man..." He dusted his shoulders and the gazes of the two, met in mid-air, forming an intangible collision between master and disciple.
