Chapter 13 Amy Icefeather

Next day,

In Zen’s manor,

‘Smash’

“What did you say? Your sqad members along with the vice leader disappeared yesterday?”

Zen smashed a table as he angrily shouted at a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was the leader of the ‘Hidden assassins’ mercenary squad, Clemens.

Yesterday night, his squad’s vice leader and 11 other squad members went on a mission to assassinate a rank 4 healing type hero.

However, they never returned, and there was no news from them.

“It was like they disappeared into thin air.”

Clemens was also furious because he could tell that something had happened to his squad members.

“What are you going to do now? Will you return the money you took or are you going to kill her?”

Zen didn’t even bother about the Vice leader and the other squad members belonging to the ‘Hidden assasins’ mercenary squad.

Instead, he asked Clemens whether he would continue the mission or give up.

“Young master, I will personally take care of this mission.”

Clemens bowed to Zen and quietly left the manor without leaving behind any traces.

‘Did that lowly bastard have other talents?’

After Clemens left, Zen thought about Leo and wondered if he had a second talent other than ‘Teleportation’.

‘No…it is definitely not possible for a rank 5 hero to make a rank 6, eight rank 5 and three rank 4 heroes disappear into thin air.’

According to his information, Leo was a rank 5 elite hero with a single talent, ‘Teleportation’.

So, Zen shook his head as he directly eliminated Leo from the picture.

‘Only an advanced hero can do such a thing.’

Zen concluded that a rank 7 hero might have been involved in yesterday’s incident after thinking for a while.

‘Is it the Icefeather family? But, I heard they didn’t like her. Also, yesterday, Amy was supposed to be in the meeting with her family.’

For yesterday night’s assassination, Zen had planned everything and didn’t see any problem in killing Julia.

However, things didn’t go as planned, and he still didn’t know why.

‘Since Clemens said he will take care of her, I will wait and see what happens.’

Zen looked into the distance through the window and muttered, ‘If he can’t kill her, I will have to change my plans for her.’

…..

Julia was completely oblivious to the events from yesterday’s night as she was in a deep sleep.

After waking up, she got ready and rushed to Ryan’s house while dragging a young woman in a sky blue coloured long gown.

Of course, Julia dragged her because she wanted to introduce her to Leo, and at the same time, she tried to set her up with Leo.

Leo was a perfect match for her sister Amy in Julia’s eyes.

“Julia, what are you trying to do? Stop embarrassing me in front of others.”

Amy could guess what Julia was trying to do and freed herself from Julia’s grip.

“What am I trying to do? Of course, I want to introduce you to Brother Leo, the one who saved me yesterday.”

Julia replied without thinking much as she had already planned to use this reason beforehand.

‘Sigh…this girl….’

Amy shook her head at Julia’s cheekiness as she rubbed her forehead.

“Julia”

Just as Amy and Julia were talking, Julia heard Leo’s voice.

“Brother Leo, you came at the right time.”

When she heard Leo’s voice, Julia was happy and introduced Amy to him, “Brother Leo, she is the sister I mentioned yesterday, Amy. Amy Icefeather.”

“I am Leo, just Leo. I heard you took care of her for the last 10 years. It’s very rare in this world. I have my respects for you.”

Leo introduced himself as he added a few good words.

Among the people he wanted to meet after coming to Phirie city, Amy Icefeather was one of them.

….

‘Toby, if you become an advanced hero like my father before thirty, I will marry you.’

‘And why will I marry you if I become an advanced hero? I will create my own family then.’

‘If I become your wife, I can leave the Icefeather family and take your family name then.’

….

Leo remembered a little conversation with the little Amy from his childhood and could not help but laugh at those words.

“I am Amy Icefeather. Thank you for saving Julia.”

Amy was thankful to Leo for saving Julia as she continued, “If you ever need any help in this city, you can feel free to ask me. I will try my best to help you.”

While saying that, she took out a gold card from her storage ring and gave it to Leo.

“With this VIP card, you can enjoy a 20 percent discount in the stores owned by the Icefeather family.”

Amy explained the benefits of that gold card to Leo, making Leo raise his brows.

“Icefeather family’s VIP card? Aren’t you being generous?”

To Leo, money is the last thing he is worried about right now; however, he doesn’t mind taking a slight discount.

“Compared to Sister Julia, it is nothing.”

With a slight smile on her face, Amy shook her head and asked Leo to take the card.

“Okay. I will not stand on ceremony then.”

Leo pocketed the gold card before asking, “I heard the Icefeather family owns an auction house. I wonder whether I can get the invitations for the day after tomorrow’s auction.”

Yesterday night, as Vladimir was taking care of the members of the ‘Hidden assassins’, he met with Dominic and others, who shared the information they had collected about the Phire city so far.

According to that information, the Icefeather family would be hosting a premium auction in three days. Leo wanted to enter the auction as all the bigshots of the Phirie city would be gathered there.

“Huh? Auction?”

Julia was surprised as she didn’t know about the premium auction.

‘How did he know about it?’

Suddenly, Amy started feeling suspicious about Leo as the ‘Premium auction’ information was not something anyone could get.

“If it’s too much, then just forget it. I just wanted to broaden my horizons.”

Leo could tell Amy got suspicious about him. So, he asked her to forget it.

“No. Since I already promised to help you as long as it is within my power, I can get you an invitation to that premium.”

Nevertheless, Amy shook her head because even if Leo entered the auction house, there was nothing he could do other than watch the powerful heroes.

“Can you get me two passes? I want to take Julia with me.”

If he went there alone, it would make him the center of attention; however, it would not attract much attention if Julia was with him.

Because everyone knew that Amy and Julia were close, they would not be surprised to see Julia in a premium auction that Amy’s family held.

“Hm…okay.”

Amy was surprised at Leo’s request once again; however, she understood what Leo was thinking. So, she hesitated a little before nodding her head.

“Great.”

Julia was excited as it would be her first time going to a premium auction.

‘Ring’

“I have some things to take care of. I will give you the invitations by tomorrow night.”

Suddenly, Amy’s phone rang, and seeing the caller id, and she hurriedly rushed into the distance.

‘…’

As for Leo and Julia, they looked at each other and then looked at the running Amy.

…..

‘I want all the information on this brat.’

At the same time, from a distance, an old man secretly clicked a few photos of Leo and sent them to someone, asking them to collect the information on Leo.

‘He is definitely suspicious.’

The old man silently thought to himself as he disappeared from his place.
