195 A Heartwarming Letter

Frozen Flames frowned as she spoke, "What will you planning now Ryuu?"

Ryuu: "Well this time the lost but that does not mean they will not try again another time, and from how they were acting they had no problem sacrificing others for their goals including their own teammates as such I believe I should try to avoid going outside too much the last thing I want is some poor bystander getting caught in it."

Frozen Flames: "The barrier you have erected inside the room will prevent any unwanted person from snooping but let me update it for you and make it even stronger.", with her piece being said she started working along with Ryuu to update the arrays.

Frozen Sky: "Well since they are working let me prepare breakfast for all of us. We do not know who else is involved with them, it can also be someone trying to sabotage your group and I will be more relaxed knowing at least you lot will not be poisoned."

Ryuu watched intently as Frozen Flames tweaked and upgraded the array while the rest were busy with the kitchen.

A few minutes later Frozen Flames finished her work as Frozen Sky along with the help of others carried a few pots and pans full of different types of foods ranging from simple tortillas, to breads, butter, hams, bacons, eggs with mixed fruit juices.

Ryuu's eyes lit up as he tasted the food it was nowhere as delicious as he used to eat back in Ayindril but it was by far the best he had outside of Ayindril, "Senior are you the one who made all this?"

Frozen Sky: "Yes I am Junior Ryuu, was it not to your liking?"

Ryuu spoke with a grin on his face, "Senior, the food made by you is incredibly delicious."

Frozen Sky smiled at that as she spoke, "I am glad you like it."

A couple of days had passed since the assassination attempt on Ryuu and yet there were no more attacks on Ryuu, it was all too quite making Ryuu to feel a little bit of restlessness.

On the third day at dawn, inside a very richly decorated room a couple could be seen sleeping, the man's face scrunched up a bit as a foul smell hit his nose as he moved groggily on top of the bed, while the female feeling her partner moving all of a sudden let out a disgruntled moan.

The felt something wet on his face used his hands rub as he opened his eyes with a groan, he stared at an unknown visage before he screamed and fell from his bed awaking his partner who sat up only to scream and faint.

Rapid footsteps accompanied as guards and servants ran towards the room as one of the guards knocked on the door hard, "My Lord, my Lady are you and alright?"

They knocked no they banged the door loudly but seeing no sound coming from inside they became increasingly worried, "Titus break the door.", one of them suggested as such they soon kicked the door open as they were greeted with inside of the bedroom.

A couple of maids who were able to glance inside the room the screamed out loud as they fainted from what they saw even the guards felt a bit queasy at the sight.

Inside a room were dozens of people who seemed to have died from brutal torture their eyes and nails seemed to be missing and their face contorted into pure agony as their body was riddled with various wounds, their body decorated the entire room as they were hung by their entrails the entire room smelled of death and blood as if it was a slaughter house.

The Lady of the house had fainted while the Lord needed immediate change of his pants, he stared at a message on the wall written by blood, 'Your only child decided to send someone a get well soon gift through the hands of 'Crooked Tavern', I decided it was unhealthy for my baby brother as such I returned the gift through the hands of higher ups of 'Crooked Tavern', also remember if similar stunt occurs your darling wife and you would suffer from indigestion from feeding on such well wisher's flesh.'

The man snapped out of his shock when he was nudged out of his shock induced state by one of the guard he held the guards hand with incredible strength as he barked out an order, "Bring my son back home now this instance, you will not stop at anything no matter what anyone says or wants even if my son protests drag him here even if you have to break his limbs, no GO!!!!", with that he pushed the guard away from him who quickly left to bring his master's child.

Meanwhile Lucius made his way towards Ryuu's room he knocked the door, within a few seconds Aliyah opened the door as she greeted Lucius, "Good morning Senior Lucius."

Lucius gave a kind smile as he spoke, "Good morning Junior, may I inquire if Junior Daoist Ryuu is available."

Here is name called Ryuu approached the room as he spoke, "Good Morning Senior, How may I help you?"

Lucius: "Ah Good morning Ryuu a letter came for today but unfortunately there was nothing on it that could identify the sender, we decided that it might be dangerous as such Senior Agrippa send me to inform you that our employees will try to open it so as that you may not be affected by it if it is a trap."

Ryuu nodded at that as he gave a grateful smile, "Thank You for your consideration Senior but if it is not too much I wish to witness the opening of the letter."

Lucius nodded at that as he spoke, "Well of course but we are to view it from safe distance who knows what array will be present inside the array to harm you."

The trio escorted by Lucius reached the training ground a barrier had been raised behind which they took shelter as a few employees of Shangri-la pavilion were present watching the entire situation warily as one of the employees used his KI to levitate a knife with which he used to open the envelop as the letter fell out of it he prodded the letter and after a few seconds he raised his voice as he announced his verdict, "It is just a harmless letter."

The man then picked up the letter handing it to Ryuu by then Agrippa had also arrived so that he could better protect Ryuu incase the trap had bypassed their security check.

Ryuu opened the letter and read the letters contents,

Dear Brother,

Those assassins vying for your head has been dealt with and as for the mastermind you will know as soon as one of the participants will make a run for it, the cretin out of jealousy tried to have you killed, if you wish him any harm just burn the letter as soon as the person tries to leave and announce the sentence out loud, otherwise just destroy it letter on or keep it is your choice.

As for the association who was tasked with assassinating you is already history all of their members massacred with extreme prejudice and their bodies are now decorating the bedroom of the cretin's progenitor with warning.

With Love form your Eldest sister.

Ryuu smirked at that as he laughed loudly startling everyone, as Aliyah asked curiously, "What is it Daoist Brother Ryuu that made you laugh out loud?"

Ryuu: "Well it is pretty simple Daoist sister my eldest sister dealt with the assassins as such as of now 'Crooked Tavern' the organization which accepted the commission is no more and the jealous person who had commissioned the entire thing out of mere jealousy has the bodies of members of the now deceased organization decorating his parents' bedroom, wow what a heartwarming letter."
