"G-good evening, madam."The receptionist gave him a stern look and said, "Andres, it's Lady Rain, not madam. There's only one madam in the organization, be mindful of your words."The chubby man had a cold sweat on his back as he heard the receptionist say her words. He nodded and said, "understood, Lady Rain."Rain nodded and looking at Lith, she bowed and said, "my apologies for creating a scene here, sir."Looking at Rain apologize, the chubby man, Andres, bowed and apologized to Lith as well.He knew Lith was an Amethyst Card Holder but didn't know he was this influential that even Lady Rain would act in such a subservient manner. Thankfully, he hadn't talked with any disrespect previously and had he done so, he knew he would'nt have his head intact.Lith had no idea why they were being so subservient. But since he was a prince, he knew how to handle such situations well and wasn't too irked by it.He simply nodded his head and said, "it's okay. Now, let's get to work."Rain nodded and after instructing a few things to Andres, she left the room, leaving the two alone.Andres bowed and asked Lith to sit on the couch in the room while he sat on a chair opposite to him.He then said, "you're here to submit the mission related things right, sir?"Lith nodded. He took out for small black boxes and put them in front of Andres."These are the Magic Cores of the people I assassinated. You can check the authenticity of it if you want."Andreas shook his head and said, "there is no need to do such a thing, sir. We completely trust you."Andres then took a tablet from his ring and typed in a few things there.In the meantime, he gave Lith a brochure to browse through. It consisted of the things Lith could purchase right away like weapons, pills, potions, artifacts, etc. There was also the hotel's food menu present on it in case Lith wanted anything to eat or drink. Of course, since he was an important person, the food and drinks were on the house.Lith didn't shy away and ordered a few snacks and tea for himself. They weren't anything too extravagant and were just a few simple things available on the menu.He ordered the things from his phone and in just a few minutes, Rain walked inside holding a cart and served Lith his food.As Lith ate his food, Andres continued to work on his tablet.…..Redstone City, Uklov.Shadow River Sect.

Inside the tallest building of the sect, the two Sect Masters were sitting and working. There was no one else present in the hall right now and they were alone.Soon, an elder of the sect walked in and after greeting them, he said, "the mission we handed out has been completed. Four members from Senzal Clan were assassinated and they were…"He informed the two sect masters about the mission.Sect Master Wan and Sect Master Ling were shocked knowing this. They couldn't even imagine that someone had taken up their mission this fast and also completed it within two days of taking.They asked the elder more information about this and after talking for a bit, the elder said:"The assassin is currently in their organization, along with the middle man. If the two sect masters want, they can meet him right now.""We can?" Wan was the one to speak and asked in surprise.The elder nodded and said, "I am on chat with the middle man. Should I text him that the sect masters are interested in meeting the assassin?""Yes. We would like to meet him." Ling was the one to speak this time and said calmly.The elder nodded and texted a few things on his tablet.…..Nine Roses Hotels, Espat.Andres got a text from the elder of the sect and reading it, he looked at Lith and asked,"Sir, the ones whose mission you completed are asking whether you'd be able to give an audience to them or not."Lith thought about it for a bit and said nodding, "alright. Ask them to come here, I'll meet them."Andres nodded and typed in a few things on his tablet.….."Sect Masters, the assassin Ray is willing to meet. But you'll have to go the meeting place. The meeting place is Nine Roses Hotel's Espat branch." The elder said.Sect Master Wan was surprised hearing that. "The Nine Roses Hotel? Isn't it reserved for members only and always booked at all times of the year?"Sect Master Ling looked at her husband and said, "he must be a member, what's so surprising in that?"Wan nodded and said, "I did try to get a room there once when I visited Espat but I wasn't able to get it because they were fully booked. There was another instance where the same thing happened. When I asked around, I found that it is like that all year round and is reserved for members only. It was a surprise knowing Ray has a reservation there. He seems like a very high level assassin and judging from that, I think we need to be more careful while interacting with him and not offend him."Wan made a lot of assumptions and said that to Ling.Ling nodded and said, "you're right. I think it'll be for the best if we have such a high level assassin as our ally. We should try our best to get him on our good side." Follow current on novel-online.com
Wan nodded hearing that and looking at the elder below, he said, "ask them when is he available to meet us."The elder typed in a few things and after a few seconds, said, "in half an hour, Sect Master."Sect Master Wan nodded and said, "sure, no problem. Ling'er, let's prepare ourselves and leave."Sect Master Ling nodded and the two left the administrative hall.…..Half an hour later.Nine Roses Hotel, Espat.Lith was still with Andres, sitting and browsing through his phone. He was waiting for the Shadow River Sect officials to arrive while time to time talking with Andres.Knock! Knock!"They're here, sir. Do you want to put a disguise before meeting them?" Andres asked.Lith shook his head.He won't use a disguise unless absolutely necessary. People didn't know who he was and so there shouldn't be any problems roaming around with his real face.Andres nodded and went to get the door.The door opened and the two Sect Masters of the Shadow River Sect walked inside the room.As Wan and Ling walked in, they were surprised to see the person in front of them.'So young…'Both shared a similar thought. But then they shoved aside that thought immediately as they realized looks could be deceiving. The person in front of them could very well be older than both their age combined.Rain made the two sit opposite to Lith on a couch. She removed the chair Andres was on and put a couch there instead.After getting them seated, she looked at Lith and asked with a bow, "sir, please excuse us."Lith nodded and Andres and Rain left the room, leaving him alone with the two Sect Masters.Sect Master Wan, out of courtesy, extended his hand forward and said, "hello, I am the Sect Master of the Shadow River Sect, Wan. Pleased to make your acquaintance."Lith extended his hand forward as well and said shaking it, "Ray."Ling extended her hand forward as well and introduced herself to which Lith said the simple word 'Ray' again.

Wan then asked, "I hope we didn't disturb you and are taking too much of your time.""It's no worries." Lith said in a calm and low tone.He then pointed towards the four small black boxes in front of him and said, "have a look at them."Wan nodded and just as he checked who among the list of members were assassinated, he became shocked knowing the clan head's wife was one of them.Not only that, there was the clan head's brother as well!Lith in front of them assassinated a Rank 9 and Rank 8!?In just two days!?Inside the Senzal Clan territory!?Just how powerful was he?Wan and Ling both were Half King Ranks but even they would hesitate to go inside the clan's territory and do such assassinations. It was a very risky endeavour.They had no idea how Lith had just done that and they were really curious to know. But they knew they couldn't ask him how he did that.The method an assassin uses to assassinate people was a trade secret and kept with the assassin solely. It was also against Scelestus's policy to ask assassins such personal questions.The two knew about it and thus didn't ask Lith any such thing. They kept their mouth shut and thoughts of various ways to coax him to be their ally.But before they could speak, Lith looked at them and said, "you might also be interested in this video, have a look."Lith showed them the video of Vaan's threesome along with his uncle.Watching that, Wan and Ling both froze on their spots.Such scandalous deeds!Ling wanted to puke after looking at the filth in front of her but she controlled herself from doing so. She was a conservative woman and also devoted to her own husband. Such things were too much for her and it was no wonder she wanted to puke.Wan could feel his wife's troubles. He patted her back lightly and rubbed her hand to provide comfort to her. He said softly to her, "Ling'er, you don't have to watch it if you don't want to."Ling nodded and looked away.After finishing watching that video, Wan looked at Lith and said, "Mr. Ray this…"Lith nodded and said, "I recorded it."Wan was shocked once again knowing this. He recorded a video while being just a few hundred meters beside the Saint Rank clan head and his Rank 9 wife?Amazing!This was simply a very amazing feat and Wan wanted to praise Lith for that, but Lith cut him short and said with an indifferent look,"You can have it. But obviously at a price."
