Chapter 88: The Assassination from Three Level 9 Warriors

Translator: BigDonnyDon  Editor: Chrissy

The most special characteristic of the Golden Haired Monkeys was their kingship; ordinary Golden Haired Monkeys worshiped their Monkey King. If the Golden Haired Monkey King was hurt at all, it would enrage them. This was especially the case for the red hair on the Golden Hair Monkey King’s forehead. If that red hair was taken, the whole group of Golden Haired Monkeys would fall into chaos and go on a rampage.

Even the general of the City’s Defense and Security Force, a Level 9 Warrior, wouldn’t dare to irritate a group of Golden Haired Monkeys alone. Their combined speed and strength, along with their claws could deal a great amount of damage.

Even a team of Grade Three Warrior Students wouldn’t receive such a difficult test. “As for a Grade One Warrior Student?” Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders; he didn’t mind it too much. After all, instructor Rodriguez fought really hard for an opportunity to take a re-test; he didn’t want to disappoint the instructor that treated him really well. As for Caeller? There was still a lot of time for Qian Jin to deal with him after the test.

“For the student from the Mage Branch, your mission is to retrieve a Demon Flamingo’s egg.”

Gabriella reached out her hand to grab the map, but her hand shivered as she heard that.

Qian Jin frowned as well. If it wasn’t because he hadn’t gotten the [Supreme Wind and Cloud Energy Training Scroll] yet, he would have ignored the academy’s code of conduct and kicked Caeller’s butt that very moment.

Demon Flamingo? There was no difference regarding the difficulty of this mission compared to the Golden Haired Monkey King mission. But for Gabriella, this mission was even more difficult than the Golden Haired Monkey King mission.

Demon Flamingos had good magic resistance. This was especially true against low level fire magic. On top of this, their speed was fast.

To test a mage student on her ability to steal a Demon Flamingo’s egg? Mages were already at a disadvantage when going against Demon Flamingos. In addition, they always set their nests on cliffs.

“Managing Director Caeller.” Qian Jin stared at Caeller and said seriously, “I heard that you still don’t have any kids despite your age. Is that correct? As your student, I must warmly notify you that if your wife gets pregnant in the future, you have to make sure that it’s your kid and not an illegitimate child. Also, be aware! After your wife gives birth to your kid, make sure to check that the child is healthy! I’m afraid that your kids won’t have an anus.”

“You!”

Qian Jin ignored Caeller who was getting furious. He grabbed the big bag that was sitting beside Gabriella and put it on his shoulder as he said, “Let’s go! We have to start our test.”

Gabriella ran a few steps and caught up with Qian Jin, who was marching away. She said timidly, “This… let me… let me take the bag.”

“I’m a warrior, and you’re a mage. According to the [Warrior’s Code], when there are no Gear and Supply Delivery Forces around, warriors should take on the task for them,” Qian Jin said as he placed the handle of his Zhanmadao through the straps on the bag and put it on his back. “Do you have a problem with me being the captain for this test? Great! Since I’m the captain, then we will just do it like this!”

Caeller stared at Qian Jin, who was already walking away, viciously as he spat on the ground. “There is no way you can complete this mission! Are you mocking me? Good! After you fail your mission, I will find an excuse to kick you out of the academy!” he thought.

After the commotion at the open field subsided, Caeller twisted his fat head and glanced around. After making sure that no one was around, he paced himself and left the open field. He headed out of the academy gate and disappeared into the darkness. The direction he was headed in was towards Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop.

“Respectable Mr. Caeller, how was it?”

Under the dim lights, Lucas looked at Caeller, who was sweating buckets. Although he looked gloomy and anger filled his face, his arrogant tone was nowhere to be heard. There was a hint of reverence in his eyes.

“Don’t you trust my execution?” Caeller grabbed the white towel from a maid and wiped the sweat off of his face. After, he wrapped his arms around the maid, and his two fat hands and short and thick fingers started to rub the maid’s body under his own will. “I gave Qian Jin the map for the test. If the assassins you hired this time still can’t kill him…”

“That’s not possible!” Lucas sneered confidently. “According to the information from Qian Jin’s classmates, he is only a Level 7 Warrior. I spent a lot of money this time! I hired three Level 9 Warriors!”

Caeller’s hands that were touching the maid paused for a second. He gasped as he stared at Lucas. “Three Level 9 Warriors! This Lucas really is willing to spend money. There are only three people who are either at or above the Level 9 Warrior rank: the General of City’s Defense and Security Force, Zhang Mumbai, Mayor Sambaice, and the city’s guardian Fabreidis!”

Lucas was really dedicated on planning this assassination since he hired three Level 9 Warriors. A bright smile appeared on Caeller’s face. “Qian Jin is dead for sure this time! He is only a Level 7 Warrior! Even if he is a Level 9 Warrior, he’ll end up dead under the joint attack from three Level 9 Warriors.”

“This is the gift that I prepared to thank you for your help.”

Lucas pushed a small wooden boxed filled with gold coins to Caeller on the table. To him, any amount of golden coins spent to kill Qian Jin was worth it!

Immediately after Qian Jin left his shop, Lucas sent one of his henchmen to gather the necessary information. He discovered that after finishing the order for the Fire Adventure Team led by Wilfred, Franklin’s Blacksmith Shop didn’t take any big orders or met any new people.

Lucas made a bold assumption. “That kitchen knife is closely related to Qian Jin. Since it’s impossible for this young man to forge that knife, it’s very likely that the master who taught him how to forge made it for him.”

“He has a master would can forge Warrior Weapons! If I don’t get rid of Qian Jin as soon as possible, then Lucas’ Blacksmith Shop will quickly become a part of Oakland’s history.

Although offending a Forge Master was very dangerous, Lucas believed that if everything was done secretly and hidden, then there would be no danger.

“Mr, Lucas, you are too polite.” After Caeller opened the box and saw all the gold coins, his smile became even brighter. “I believe that Qian Jin won’t be in any part of your life afterwards. He will be gone soon.”

“I still have to thank Mr. Caeller for the help,” Lucas sneered. The leader amongst these three Level 9 Warriors was a very experienced warrior. They were in no rush, and they had the same maps that Qian Jin and Gabriella had. Everything should be very simple for them! However, Lucas just wasn’t sure if the assassins he hired could find the right opportunity to strike.

“Number One, why do we have to follow the target? Don’t we have the map? Wouldn’t it be better for us to find a different path and surpass him?”

“Yeah. Number One, even if we are going to follow him, we don’t have to keep such a long distance, do we? Why do we need to use a telescope…?”

On the bell tower in Oakland City, a fat warrior and a thin warrior looked at their leader as they expressed their complaints. They were all Level 9 Warriors, but Lucas told them to listen to this Number One! In a one on one battle, they felt like they wouldn’t lose to him.

“What if he doesn’t follow the map? What do we do if that happens? We could just be wasting our time on making the perfect trap. In terms of following him… can’t you guys tell? This target is very strange; it seems like he is very sensitive to danger. I was hired to assassinate him a few days earlier, but when I got a bit close to him, he had already sensed the danger and walked onto a busy street,” Number One said.

“He’s that sharp?” The thin warrior curled his lips as he looked at Number One, who only had one eye. The other eye was covered by a black eyepatch. He questioned, “He is only a warrior student; could it be that your lurking technique is just bad?”

The one-eyed Number One didn’t say anything. He slowly walked towards the stairs on the bell tower and said, “Let’s go. From the look of it, he is following the path set out on the map. He is even following the path set out on the map to leave the city. We will follow them a bit more; if they are still following the map after they leave the city, then we will surpass them and set up traps.”

“Number One is right. I suddenly feel like this kid isn’t as easy to deal with as we thought.” The fat warrior tapped the bow on his shoulder as he said, “We will design a perfect trap. As soon as he loses his concentration, I will be able to lock onto him and kill him with my arrow! There is no chance that he will escape.”

Number One nodded; he had approved of the fat Number Two’s arrow technique. The target was only a Level 7 Warrior. Even if the target was a Demon Fighter, Number Two’s arrow could pierce through his throat if he let his guard down and lost a moment of focus! He was a member of the Yuri Family; although Number Two tried really hard to hide his identity and background, his shooting technique leaked his identity.

The Yuri Family held the name of the number one archer family at Zence Empire. When their family members woke up their Divine-Shot Bloodline, only demon warriors with the Demon-Eye Bloodline and barbarian warriors with the Purple-Vein Bloodline could match them in terms of their shooting techniques.

Even members of the Yuri Family who didn’t wake up their bloodline would still practice their shooting techniques since childhood. All things aside, just in terms of shooting technique, members of the Yuri Family who didn’t wake up their bloodline had no match in Zence Empire except for people, demons and barbarians who awakened one of the three bloodlines!

If they shot out an arrow, they would always hit their target! The Yuri Family never missed a shot! This was the saying that was commonly known even beyond the Zence Empire into the lands that were owned by demons and barbarians.

Number One also believed that as soon as this member of the Yuri Family released the arrow from his bowstring, the target would be dead.

“Trust me. I will create the opportunity for you; I will make sure that he gets distracted,” the thin warrior said proudly as he raised his chin. He glanced at the leader Number One disdainfully, “When I appear in front of him, he will lose that high guard of his!” he announced.

Number One lightly nodded again to show his agreement. Although this thin warrior Number Three was very arrogant and no one liked him, his stealth, lurking, and trapping techniques were outstanding!

People who failed to wake up their bloodlines from Zence Empire’s Phantom Bloodline Family were similar to people who failed to wake up their bloodline from Yuri Family; they were still outstanding in certain areas!

With this stacked steam, Number One was very confident in successfully completing the mission. Even though Number Three was so full of himself and very annoying, as long as they worked together, they were sure they could assassinate a Demon Fighter who had advanced from a Level 10 Warrior, let alone a Level 7 Warrior… Number One was certain that they could eliminate the target and return safely.
