Chapter 322 - A Good Opportunity to Assassinate The Lord of Dawn!

William had returned from the Magic Conference to the City of Dawn.

He spent two days settling two major affairs.

Number one, he announced the establishment of Dawn College.

Number two, after getting along with Moses for several years, he finally persuaded him to delay his revenge plans.

Moses could take his revenge by bidding for a good time.

Before Moses became a sage, he would only take revenge when the City of Dawn had become one of the top power centers.

William believed that as long as Moses did not expose himself, the Magic Sanctuary would not be able to locate him.

“Why are there so many people in just two days?” The city lord saw many professionals touring with little boys and girls on the streets.

He had noticed at least a few hundred along the way.

Odom, who was beside William, nodded and said, “There should be more in the future, but I don’t know the exact number. Many professionals of the dukedoms and kingdoms are bringing their children here.

“After all, the City of Dawn has a great reputation in the southern region, and the top four power centers actively publicized you as the ‘The Reincarnation of Thunder God’. Hence, many people were attracted, and they came here to get close to you.

“Even the Dawn Mercenary Team recently gained a considerable number of conscripts.”

The deputy city lord, who had wavy blonde hair, did not conceal his huge muscles. His neckline was slightly open, revealing attractive muscles and scars. The young ladies who were passing by were distracted by the sight.

Being short was not a problem.

Being short and obese was also not a problem.

It was more important to be able to last long enough.

A dwarf could provide an alternative stimulation.

Even though Odom was a dwarf, not only was he good-looking, but he was also the deputy lord of the city.

Wa

He held the most power, second only to William.

If his little treasure vault was shown to some ignorant women who have never seen the world, it would be enough to make their eyes shine with greed…

Although Odom liked to show off his muscles, he was not a lascivious man. William noticed that he had declined the temptations of several young and beautiful women.

Well, they were young widowed women whose husbands died in wars.

William chose to keep a blind eye to these affairs.

He was supportive of the women remarrying and having kids.

After all, this was a normal physiological response.

William also discovered a little secret of Odom.

Odom did not have strong willpower.

He was keeping a short but extremely attractive Human woman.

Every time Odom was dating, he would be sneaky. If Alec had not informed William, he would not have known that Odom had such a preference.

“Odom is rather dedicated…” William muttered to himself.

“What?” The dwarf raised an eyebrow, while the muscles in his chest quivered. He felt that William was talking about him, so he intentionally changed the subject. “Thank you for upholding my interests at the Magic Conference, Lord William.”

“It’s nothing much. It’s my obligation.” William smiled. It was not a big deal for the City of Dawn to turn against the Iron Fist Kingdom. William did not want Odom to worry about it.

Odom nodded, and his affinity for William increased. It was good enough to remember William’s good intentions in his heart.

Sometimes, it was better not to be said.

His current responsibility was to make the city vibrant and to make sure it developed in an orderly manner.

William gave Odom some matters to resolve before he looked for his small Black Dragon at the abattoir…

Ahem! If the Dragon was not in Stormy Island, he would be at the abattoir.

The flesh of the magical beasts was delicious and plentiful. He could continuously eat and sleep in the abattoir.

It was a blissful life.

Many professionals who were skinning the magical beasts said, “Prince William, we almost skinned your pet several times. Can you quickly take it away…”

“Little Blacky, stop eating. You’re as obese as a round ball. Come over here now!” William walked into the slaughterhouse and found a small, deformed Dragon. His belly was round, and his wings were too small to be visible.

It could not be helped. The Dragon was still young.

There were no outsiders here, but William could not possibly call him ‘Sacario’.

The name was meant for outsiders to call the Dragon.

As his master, William had to maintain his authority.

The little Black Dragon swallowed the flesh of a magical beast into his belly. Then he glanced at William. He frowned before baring his sharp white teeth to continue munching.

The Dragon was cursing William for abandoning him for so many days. He was unwilling to obey his instructions.

It would erode the dominance of a Dragon.

William walked towards the Dragon without any expression. He grasped the tail and started shaking him wildly.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Sad howls of a dog were heard.

Pfff!

A large pile of half-digested meat fell out from the small Dragon’s mouth.

At this time, the small Dragon remembered the fear of being dominated by William.

However, it was too late.

William grabbed his tail and swung him in circles as he walked out. He ignored the bleak screams of the Dragon.

The bystanders gaped at the small Dragon, dumbfounded.

It was a Dragon, for God’s sake.

Couldn’t William be more gentle with the small Dragon?

But it was precisely because he was from the Dragon race, that William had to make the small Dragon fear the master. Otherwise, he would rebel against William.

William would never make the Dragon fond of him.

Pfff!

William would not care as long as the affinity of the Dragon did not drop too low.

One hour later, beside William, a Black Dragon was baring his fangs and biting at the passers-by.

The small Dragon was only showing reverence to his master by looking meek and sticking out his tongue. He was making ‘Hacha, hacha’ sounds.

William had not chained the small Dragon up, because he had to give the Dragon some dignity.

The passers-by were in awe of William, as they saw his Dragon domesticated like a dog. He was indeed the reincarnation of Thunder God. Even the Beast Masters of the Beast City did not have this capability?

Another blissful day arrived.

William had not encountered any assassination attempts.

He had encountered many spies in the city, but none of them dared to act against him.

He did not expose them. He wanted them to continue spying, as he planned to make use of the spies as baits and lure out the masterminds.

He wanted to find out how many professionals and power centers wanted to kill him.

When he would capture all of them in one swoop, they would realize that William was not to be trifled with.

In a house in the City of Dawn, a lot of assassins were present. Then, dozens of Advanced professionals silently entered the house.

This small house had secretly been rented by an unknown entity.

The professionals had stealthily gathered here so that they would not be detected.

Even the Intelligence Department of the City of Dawn did not know there were so many assassins in this house.

“Did all of you receive the news regarding the Lord of Dawn, the suspected reincarnation of Thunder God?” The lead assassin, who had rented this house, calmly glanced at the other professionals.

“Yes, but he is very strong. Why are we the only ones to attempt the assassination? Why aren’t the Grandmaster assassins doing it?” a professional asked. The assassins wanted to know the answer to this question.

The lead assassin sneered and said, “You seem to have forgotten the rules of the organization. We are only responsible for completing the mission, not asking questions. Did you forget the rules?”

“What are you doing?” The assassin who asked that question felt a chill in his heart.

Before he had a chance to activate his battle energy shield, a black ray of light flashed in front of him.

He moved his jaws, while a deep wound appeared on his neck.

His head fell to the ground, and it was taken into a space ring.

Then his corpse vanished in the presence of the other assassins.

Not a single drop of blood dripped on the surface of the City of Dawn.

The best way to leave no traces was to keep the corpse from touching the ground.

The leading assassin sheathed his short blade into the scabbard and coldly said, “I can explain it to you, but you can’t ask.

“This is an order from the leader.

“Professionals who are levels higher than Lord William can’t attempt the assassination. Otherwise, the Black Leaf Elves would take revenge even if we are mercenaries.”

“What else?”

“Kill Lord William and bring his corpse back.”

“What if we’re all killed?” the other assassins asked without any expression. Death was a normal thing, especially for assassins who lived on the edge of life and death.

The lead assassin shook his head and replied, “If you’re killed, the mission will fail. I heard that someone will join forces with us. If they show up, we’ll cooperate with them. If they don’t show up, we’ll still proceed with our mission.”

“Do we wait for our chance now?”

“Yes, we will strike when he leaves the City of Dawn.”

“Okay.”

The Dark Shadow Alliance was a secret assassination organization that left no trail, especially with its strict regime of training and discipline.

Everyone had strong willpower when conducting the mission. Even if it was a suicide attack, they would do it.

The Dark Shadow Alliance was willing to assassinate any target except for the sages.

If someone wanted William dead, the Dark Shadow Alliance would provide a good solution.

But even if the assassins were powerful, they did not dare to charge into the city lord’s palace, especially when a space enchanter was present in the city.

The more crucial information was that William was blind.

He was at his most vulnerable point.

It was the best opportunity to assassinate him before his eyes healed.

They knew that William had a habit of visiting Stormy Island alone after he returned to the City of Dawn.

That was the best chance for killing him.

Only selected commoners, the Dawn Army, and the Dawn Mercenary Team were allowed to visit Stormy Island.

There was no foolproof security in the world.

The City of Dawn was huge.

Not everyone could be personally screened by the lord. That would kill him with exhaustion.

The Dawn Mercenary Team was under the responsibility of the vice-captain Eric.

Eric had no intention to betray William, but he lacked the ability of insight.

The powerful assassins had infiltrated the Dawn Mercenary Team and remained dormant.

When William had been actively recruiting for the Dawn Mercenary Team, more assassins had infiltrated in.

Right now, they were waiting for the chance to strike, when William visited Stormy Island.

Moses and William were going to visit Stormy Island to find the replacement eyes…
