“AMBUSH-”

One of the assassin’s screamed as ironically the tables had turned on them.

Instead of being the hunters they had become the prey as Leo and Ben reversed their roles and began hunting their pursuers instead.

As Leo pulled out the plunged dagger from the heart of his enemy, he felt the hot blood of his prey soak his hands, as for the first time ever, he killed someone using proper technique.

*THUD*

*THUD*

The two assassins that Leo and Ben had stabbed from behind hit the ground dead as after the Kill Strike, their hearts had been destroyed beyond repair.

Their other two partners immediately turned and tried to attack the master disciple duo, however, they were no match for Ben’s speed.

Disarming the first assassin with his own dagger and ramming his elbow against the jaw of the second, Ben made short work of both enemies as their defenses were blown open.

Making no mistake, Leo threw his daggers with deadly precision as he pierced the neck, heart and forehead of his opponents just as Ben had taught him, as within a split second, Leo made the most of the opportunity that Ben created for him, taking down both their remaining opponents at once.

Both remaining assassin’s hit the ground dead as well after Leo’s attack, as despite their higher level, once their vital organs were pierced they no longer had any chance of survival.

A series of notifications flooded Leo’s screen as he gained 6 levels and lots of fame in quick succession. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Hooo- ur brutal boy, for your first kill, your deadly brutal” Ben said as he walked away from the bloody mess they had created in the dark alley and put his arm around Leo’s shoulders.

“Thanks?” Leo asked questionably as Ben smiled and walked along.

“This is a scouting party….. none of them placed the tracking spell on you” Ben said, as Leo felt surprised to learn this information.

“A tracking spell ends when the user dies, but the spell is still on you which means the real mastermind behind this attack is still not acting himself.

In any case, I’m guessing this scouting party was sent to confirm if I’m with you or if you’re moving alone, as my presence would complicate things for them a lot” Ben said, as he made sense of the whole situation in his head.

The way Ben saw it, the night guildmaster had identified Leo but not found Ben in the crowd.

To confirm if he was with Leo or not, he sent a weaker scouting party to their deaths, with a 50% probability of success.

He knew that if Ben was with Leo, they would all lose their lives, however, if Ben wasn’t with Leo, then these four were strong enough to take him out by themselves.

Because they were killed here, the enemy now knew that Leo was being watched over by Ben, which would mean that the next time they attacked, they would be ready for war.

“So what does this mean?” Leo asked Ben, as he did not understand the bigger picture like his master, however, Ben only patted his shoulder and told him to not worry.

“It’s going to be okay. Unless Dem Paltrow acts himself, there is not one Assassin in town that can match Ben Faulkner. I may be old, but this new generation doesn’t have what it takes to bring me down.

It will at least take them a few days to mount the next mission to take us down, however, I shall be making preparations of my own in the meantime…..” Ben said, appearing lost in thought as his eyes blazed with bloodlust and anger.

” In simple words, prepare for war boy, not just within the Grand tournament but outside as well…

For as long as we are in the capital, I’m sure we won’t get a moment’s peace anymore.

Random attacks aimed at disrupting our sleep.

Injuries inflicted even at the cost of life-

Our motel bombed or the use of mass destruction spells.

Expect everything…..

Dem Paltrow will try and wear us down until we are weak enough for him to kill, however, I’ll ensure that it won’t be easy for him to do so….. yes, it definitely won’t be easy” Ben said as he seemed to speak with conviction when he said he won’t make it easy.

A master assassin himself, Ben knew all the tricks in the book and knew exactly how to counter them.

To him, Leo was his beloved disciple and he was going to do everything in his power to keep him safe, no matter how hard the night guild was going to try.

*Sigh*

Letting out a deep sigh, Leo relaxed his tense body as he finally wiped his bloody hands against his robes.

His life seemed to be a whirlpool of mess at the moment, however, he was not scared to face it.
