Chapter 120 Rescue (Part 1)

"Honey, take care on your journey!" Lia helped me straighten my clothes, saying reluctantly.

"Don't worry, Lia and Lina, my wives, I'll be back safely!" I kissed them both on the forehead, speaking gently.

"Little sister Kelly, I'm entrusting my husband to you. Keep a close eye on him from now on, don't let him be a womanizer, understand?" Lina pulled Kelly aside, whispering her instructions.

"Yes, I know, sisters, I'll definitely keep a close eye on my husband!" Kelly patted her chest, saying. Watching from the side, I could only smile bitterly under the glares of the three women, secretly cursing my impending suffering.

"Giddy up!" I shouted softly, pulled on the reins, and, with Kelly in my arms, led my entourage towards the Hawk Empire, the galloping horses kicking up clouds of dust. Would this journey be successful? That remained to be seen!

Lia and Lina waved goodbye to our departing figures, tears streaming down their faces. Then Lina wiped away her tears and said, "Sister, it seems like what we did gave my husband an opportunity!"

"Maybe!" Lia murmured, gazing at our receding silhouettes.

They still don't believe me. It seems I'm destined to be known as a womanizer. If I heard what the two sisters said, I wonder what I would think. Would I kneel down and promise them, "I won't do it again!", or...?

After a day and a night of traveling through wind and rain, our group of over thirty people could see the towering walls of the Hawk Empire from afar. To avoid being discovered, Kelly and I disguised ourselves as a wealthy merchant couple, donned fake beards, and tidied our appearances, appearing as two completely different people. The other members of our entourage also disguised themselves as bodyguards, escorting several carts of goods towards the city gate.

"Halt! Pass!" A long halberd blocked our path, and the general guarding the gate said coldly.

“Sir, we are wealthy merchants from out of town, seeking opportunities here. We hope you can be lenient with us!” With that, I secretly pulled two gold coins from my sleeve and slipped them into the officer’s hand.

The officer felt a sudden hardness in his palm, looked down, and saw two gold coins. A joyful smile immediately spread across his face; he had never seen such a generous merchant before! beaming, he didn’t even glance at the people following behind him, and shouted to the squad of soldiers standing behind him, “Brothers, let us through!” Upon receiving the order, the soldiers lowered their crossed halberds to allow us to pass. Before we left, I gave each soldier two more gold coins, making them all smile with delight, inwardly exclaiming that they had received a windfall.

Meanwhile, having removed our disguises, we quickly found the secret agents from the Duchy lurking here and discussed how to rescue Princess Alice.

“My lord, I’ve lived here for many years and know of a place where one can enter the palace undetected,” the spy said, surprising everyone.

“Ah, such a good place! Why didn’t you tell me sooner!” I shook his shoulder urgently.

“My lord, you’re hurting me!” The spy wasn’t exactly a skilled man, and he winced in pain from my sudden grasp.

“Oh, sorry, I was just too impatient, haha!” I released his shoulder and chuckled foolishly.

Seeing the spy still rubbing his shoulder, I asked anxiously, “Where is that place? Can you tell me?”

“But that would be very inconvenient for you, my lord!” the spy said hesitantly.

“Don’t worry about inconvenience. As long as the country prospers, what is this small sacrifice?” I said eloquently, feigning concern for the country and its people.

“Since you’ve said so, sir, I’ll tell you about the secret passage!” The spy pulled out a cross-sectional map of the City of Hope from his pocket and explained to me, “Sir, this secret passage is actually the sewage pipe of the imperial city, but it’s somewhat abandoned now. The entire imperial city faces north and has four gates, one each in the east, west, south, and north. The north and south gates are heavily guarded, while the east and west gates, although less heavily guarded, are still formidable. This abandoned sewer is located in a small hill next to the west gate. It’s a very well-hidden place, and it’s difficult for ordinary people to find it. It took me ten years of exploration to find this secret passage.”

"You've worked hard, staying here for over a decade for the safety of the Duchy!" I patted his shoulder, showing concern. "When we return, I will truthfully report to Her Majesty the Queen and find you a better job!"

The spy, flattered by my gesture, excitedly said, "Thank you for your promotion, Your Highness! Thank you for your promotion, Your Highness!" He then repeatedly kowtowed to me, clearly weary of ten years of living abroad.

"Alright." After calming the spy down, I clapped my hands lightly, drawing everyone's attention to myself, before speaking seriously, "I believe everyone understands what he just said. Let's get a good night's sleep tonight and give them a surprise tomorrow night!"

After giving these instructions, everyone dispersed to go back to sleep. To prepare for tomorrow's fierce battle, they needed ample sleep to face the enemy in their best possible condition.

It was another pitch-black night. The moon and stars seemed shy, hiding behind the dark clouds. The occasional cawing of crows added a few discordant notes to the silent night. Then, a gust of wind swept through the air. Kelly and I, along with our group of experts, sped towards the west gate. Seeing the brightly lit city walls and the patrolling soldiers, we tiptoed towards the place the spies had described. Sure

enough, the sewer was in a secret location. If I hadn't listened intently, I wouldn't have heard a faint dripping sound coming from the dry sewer. No one would have guessed that such a sewer was located inside the mountain.

We quietly moved the boulder blocking the entrance, and everyone filed in, then moved the boulder back to its original position. With the boulder closed, the sewer was plunged into darkness. However, soon a fist-sized orb of light rose from my hand, illuminating the entire sewer. After counting the number of people who had entered and finding nothing amiss, we quietly moved forward, led by the orb of light.

A soft dripping sound came from the sewer, and our footsteps echoed gently in the empty, vast sewer.

Suddenly, as if I had noticed something, I gave a soft hiss, signaling everyone to stay still. Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, we heard two guards talking overhead.

"Dick, have you noticed the recent changes in the palace, especially after our beloved Princess Alice was placed under house arrest? Many familiar faces have been replaced. The new ones seem lifeless; I almost failed when I tried to strike up a conversation with them last time," one guard said cautiously.

"Yue Lai, I feel the same way. Those new companions are all so cold and aloof, their footsteps so light and silent. Last time I secretly hid to urinate, they suddenly appeared behind me, scaring me so much I almost lost my erection!" the guard named Dick chimed in.

“Recently, His Majesty has changed quite a bit. He exudes a chilling aura, as if he wants to devour people’s souls. Moreover, he’s extremely prone to anger, and someone can easily lose their head. Just two days ago, I saw him personally sever one of my brothers’ heads. His blood-stained hands and the horrific scene make me want to vomit!” As he spoke, the guard named Yolai couldn’t help but tremble, and his voice became hoarse.

“Shh, keep your voice down. Do you want to die? Speaking ill of His Majesty in the palace can easily lead to retribution!” Dick covered Yolai’s mouth and whispered. “

Dick, I feel like there’s something strange about the palace these days. I have a bad feeling about it. I really want to go home and see my wife and children!” Yolai said, a tear sliding down his cheek.

“Brother, be strong. There’s no turning back for people like us!” Dick comforted him.

“I know, but I can’t help feeling a sense of longing!” Yolai poured out his heart.

“Actually, I feel the same way as you, but in this place, if you choose to be cowardly, you will be eliminated, you know that, brother!” Dick patted Yolai on the shoulder, speaking like an older brother to his younger brother.

“I’m sorry you had to see this. Well, alright, let’s not say any more, let’s go on patrol!” Yolai wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled.

“Let’s go, maybe patrolling will help our mood!” Dick said half-jokingly.

“Okay.” The two chatted and laughed, their footsteps gradually fading away.

Chapter 121 Rescue (Part 2)

You probably heard what they said clearly, right? Recently, there have been many experts gathered in this palace. Let’s split up and be careful! I said seriously. Although everyone was dressed in black and their faces were covered, they all nodded in agreement.

Gently moving the stones on the ground, we climbed out of the sewer one after another. Watching the patrolling soldiers carrying magic lanterns roaming around in the distance, we couldn't help but believe the two guards' words.

In no time, several patrols passed by along the front corridor, proving the palace's defenses were indeed formidable. After one patrol passed, I waved my hand, and our ten-person sabotage teams began their operation. Some leaped onto the rooftops, lightly stepping on the tiles as they moved deeper into the palace; others moved with incredible speed, disappearing into the darkness in a few bounds; still others retrieved their pre-prepared items, adding fuel to the fire of the palace chaos. Meanwhile, Kelly and I, based on the map, headed towards the areas Hawk III frequented. Soon, shouts

of killing erupted from the east, west, and north of the palace, interspersed with cries of "Help! Assassins! Assassins!"... It turned out that a group of assassins, in order to create chaos within the palace, had brutally murdered several maids and then shouted that assassins were there! This was to attract the attention of the garrison. Sure enough, the imperial guards patrolling nearby heard this and immediately blew their whistles. Instantly, a group of men rushed towards them, including archers and halberdiers... If I were here, I would have to admire the speed at which the Hawk Empire could assemble its army.

The members of the action team who had successfully lured the enemy here exchanged victory gestures and then continued their sabotage mission to another location.

The commander of the imperial guards, who had rushed here, hadn't even had time to catch his breath when he heard shouts of battle coming from the east. Enraged, the commander slapped the messenger and cursed, "Damn it, if you dare to give false intelligence again, I'll chop you in half with my sword!" The messenger, full of bitterness, could only swallow his anger and meekly step aside. Just then, cries for help rang out simultaneously from the west and north. The legion commander, who had been angry moments before, panicked. Seeing his soldiers staring at each other, he snapped, "What are you all standing here for? Split into three groups and intercept those assassins!" Upon hearing the order, the soldiers spontaneously formed three teams and rushed towards the scene. The Royal Guard commander, however, led a group towards Hawke III's palace. He knew that if this matter wasn't resolved today, his position would be in jeopardy. If another assassination attempt were to occur, his head would likely be lost as well. Meanwhile,

hiding in a corner of the rear palace, Kelly and I exchanged a knowing smile, thinking: These people are indeed efficient. Before we even acted, they had everything taken care of.

And with such a commotion in the palace, how could the ruler of the nation remain unnoticed? Upon hearing of the assassins, and more than one at that, Hawke III flew into a rage. After killing several irresponsible subordinates, he led a large group of skilled warriors towards the inner palace. From afar, we could see the light emanating from the enormous luminous pearl on his crown, and we knew Hawke III had arrived. Judging from his hurried manner, he must have some unspeakable secret, so we quietly followed him.

When we followed him to a side hall next to the inner palace, a sudden change occurred. A group of men in black, wielding longbows and carrying large swords, emerged from the side hall and began firing wildly at Hawke III's group. Surrounded, Hawke III was enraged and ordered a counterattack. Although the imperial guards were highly skilled, they couldn't withstand such a barrage. Soon, many of the skilled warriors were wounded or killed; only a few dozen imperial bodyguards survived and put up a fight.

After a series of attacks, the group of men in black gradually tightened their encirclement, surrounding King Hawke III and dozens of his personal guards.

"You...what do you want?" King Hawke III asked慌张地.

"Hmph, good question! What do we want? We want to kill you, you dog emperor!" A figure clearly the leader gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Morde, you mustn't be disrespectful to His Majesty!" Qiu Ke removed his veil and reprimanded Morde. "

Your Majesty, we only want to know where our Marshal is being held!" Qiu Ke said respectfully. "

Oh, so you're some generals from the Imperial Army! You're quite bold, daring to ambush me! You've got some nerve!" King Hawke III smiled mysteriously before shouting. "

We wouldn't dare, Your Majesty! We only ask that Your Majesty release the Marshal; we'll leave the rest to Your Majesty's punishment!" Qiu Ke saluted King Hawke III sincerely. "

Are you trying to blackmail me?" Hawke III sneered.

"Your Majesty, we only wanted to rescue the Marshal. Offending you was our only recourse!" Qiu Ke said, trembling with fear. "

You wanted to save your Marshal? Don't even think about it!" Hawke III seemed to have become ruthless, shouting, "Guards, kill these traitors!" Upon hearing Hawke III's order, dozens of personal guards brandished their longswords and thrust them at the crowd surrounding them. Compared to the fierce guards, the soldiers wielding longbows appeared somewhat flustered, and several were quickly killed by the guards. However, the discipline of the Imperial Army was not to be underestimated. At Dick's command, a hundred warriors formed a circular formation, surrounding the dozens of guards. Close combat was no longer the archers' forte; they discarded their longbows, drew their broadswords, and faced the dozens of highly skilled bodyguards.

These warriors had set up a small, circular killing formation. It was naturally ineffective against a large number of enemies, but against those dozens of bodyguards, it was a different story. The small, circular killing formation was constantly rotating, with broadswords slashing at the bodyguards. The impact was unimaginable. After several rounds, no matter how the highly skilled bodyguards parried, they were no match for the killing formation and ultimately died tragically under the broadswords.

Seemingly anticipating the situation, Hawke III, taking advantage of everyone's attention being on the dozens of bodyguards, quietly tried to slip away. But the sound of wind cutting through the air shattered his hopes. He cried out and collapsed to the ground, an arrow lodged in his back.

It turned out that Kshe, who had been watching Hawk III closely, had noticed his attempt to escape. No longer caring whether he was the monarch of the Hawk Empire, he drew his bow and shot an arrow into Hawk III's back, killing him instantly. "

Kshe, why were you so impulsive? You killed His Majesty with an arrow! What are we going to do now?" Qiu Ke roared at Kshe, seeing the situation was dire. "

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I saw him trying to escape, so I shot him without thinking," Kshe said, bowing his head in remorse.

"Ugh, really! If he wanted to escape, you could have just shot him in the foot! Why did you have to shoot him in the back? How are we going to find Her Highness now?" Qiu Ke said angrily.

"I'm so sorry, but I really don't like people like him, so in a moment of anger I shot him in the back. It wasn't until after I shot him that I remembered he was the ruler of our empire!" Kshe, like a child who had made a mistake, bowed his head and sincerely apologized to Qiu Ke. "

Sigh, it's no use saying anything now!" Qiu Ke said dejectedly. "

Killing this bastard would be better, he's a jerk who harms himself and others!" Mord didn't care about any of that, and ran straight to Hawk III's corpse, kicking it several times.

"Mord, what are you doing? Huh…" Qiu Ke stopped Mord's actions, but noticed a strange phenomenon: the skin color of the dead Hawk III's neck was very different from the skin color of his face. Could it be a trick?

Qiu Ke kept touching the dead Hawk III's neck, making Mord suspicious: "Hey, Qiu Ke, do you have a fetish for dead people? Why are you doing this to… Ah!" Why didn't Mord finish his sentence? Because he suddenly saw Qiu Ke peel off a human skin mask from the dead body's face, revealing the face of a young man. "

Oh no, we've fallen for a trap! Quick, retreat!" Qiu Ke's expression changed, and he shouted. "

Too late! You'll all die here today!" The real Hawke III appeared before them, followed by a group of Imperial Guards wielding longbows.

Will Mord and his companions perish in the palace? To find out what happens next, please continue reading.

. "Too late! You'll all die here today!" The real Hawke III appeared before them, followed by a group of Imperial Guards wielding longbows. These Imperial Guards all had blank stares and numb expressions, like a group of puppets being manipulated. "

Quick... quick, form a battle formation!" Qiu Ke shouted urgently as a large group of people rushed in. "

Form a battle formation? Not so easy! Archers, fire!" Hawke III grinned sinisterly and roared at the Imperial Guards.

The guards, receiving the order, calmly unleashed their arrows at the warriors who hadn't yet formed ranks. The unarmored soldiers were instantly riddled with arrows of immense penetrating power, falling dead before they could even utter a scream. The

already small imperial army of less than a hundred men suffered a devastating loss of eighty percent in this volley of arrows, with a few others sustaining minor injuries. Mord, Qiu Ke, and Keshe were not unscathed either; they too were inevitably struck by arrows while fending off the hail of arrows. Mord

, struck in the left arm by an arrow, felt a piercing pain that tore at his heart. He didn't cry out, but instead swung his broadsword with all his might, hacking at the arrows. He actually managed to move forward a few steps, almost reaching the group of Imperial Guards, but a sharp pain in his foot stopped him in his tracks. An arrow had struck his right thigh, rendering him unable to move another inch.

Qiu Ke was a clean-shaven young man, his youthful air already hinting at the bearing of a great general. However, he was now quite disheveled, overwhelmed by the hail of arrows, his strength failing him. A sudden, sharp pain in his waist told him he had been hit. Sure enough, blood seeping from the arrow instantly stained his black robes. Normally, someone so badly wounded should sit down and rest, but the rain of arrows gave him no chance. He could only keep swinging, watching helplessly as the wound in his waist grew larger and the blood flowed more profusely.

Keshe was a veteran of many years in the army, but he still looked very young. The hail of arrows raining down on him startled him. He dodged left and right, slashing and hacking, destroying countless arrows. However, a sharp pain shooting through his left calf forced him to wince; an arrow had pierced his leg and was lodged there. The incoming arrows gave him no chance to remove the arrow, leaving him only able to frantically deal with the situation. "

Honey, shouldn't we help them?" Kelly whispered from the side. She had already discerned that the group of guards, their eyes glazed and expressions numb, were being secretly manipulated. The method was strikingly similar to the soul-drawing techniques of the Underworld, and she was quite certain that those controlling the guards were from the Underworld. I

, who had been watching closely, smiled upon hearing my wife's words and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking!" Then, unnoticed by either side, a white light rose from the sky above the hall. At first, the light was small and weak, unnoticed by anyone. But then a sharp shout rang out from mid-air: "Holy Word of Light!" The white light instantly burst forth with countless rays, enveloping the entire side hall.

Both sides in the struggle realized something was amiss. The Imperial Army, bathed in the white light, didn't feel the glare; instead, they felt languid, their bodies brimming with power, and their wounds healed instantly. On the other hand, for Hawke III, the light seemed a hundred, a thousand times more scorching than sunlight. The Imperial Guards, after being exposed to the Holy Word of Light, returned to normal, bewildered and unsure of what to do. Hawke III, however, felt a surge of power within him, seemingly opposing the Holy Word of Light, and he discovered that the Imperial Guards under his control had lost contact with him. "

Who dares to ruin my plans!" Hawke III roared, a ring of black light erupting from his body.

After the Holy Word of Light disappeared, what remained at the scene were Qiu Ke and his men, their wounds healed, the Forbidden Guards who had been used as puppets by Hawke III and were now bewildered, and Hawke III himself, his face contorted with rage.

The Holy Word of Light, as one of the most powerful light magic spells, had indeed healed the severely wounded warriors in an instant. However, for those who had died, even the most powerful light magic could not bring back their departed souls.

"Damn it, give me back my brothers' lives!" Mord, now fully recovered, roared, his eyes bloodshot, upon seeing the corpses of his fallen warriors and the remaining dozen or so.

He raised his longsword to stab Hawke III, but Qiu Ke and Keshe intervened in time, preventing him from committing suicide. "

Who was the master who came to our aid? Please come out and meet us!" Hawke III said, his face grim, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "

Hehe, husband, he wants us to come out and meet him!"

"Hehe, we'll have to wait for this!" Kelly stuck out her little tongue, blew a fragrant breath into my ear, and whispered.

"Sure enough, when Maud sensed someone helping them, the pent-up anger in his heart finally erupted. He forcefully shook off Qiu Ke and Keshe's hands, raised his longsword, and thrust it at Hawke III again.

"Maud, don't force it!" Qiu Ke and Keshe shouted in unison.

Maud ignored them, his longsword flashing as he thrust it towards Hawke III's chest, shouting, "Give me back my brothers' lives!" Hawke III disregarded Maud's fierce attack; he was only concerned about the expert hiding in the shadows. Seeing the sword's dagger about to strike his chest, a hint of disdain flashed across his lips. He swiftly extended his left hand, making a delicate flicking motion, and then lightly flicked the rapidly approaching sword tip. Mord's chest felt as if struck by a heavy blow, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He never expected that Hawke III could see the rapidly trembling sword tip and even flick a finger imbued with energy. This not only caused him to spit blood, but also shattered his longsword into pieces, which fell to the ground.

Despite spitting out blood, he was unwilling to accept defeat. He pursed his lips and shouted, "If I had been wielding two iron hammers, this battle wouldn't have been a draw!" "Mord, you're already seriously injured. You mustn't force your strength!" Qiu Ke and Ke Xie advised from the side. "

I'm telling the truth. Without a suitable weapon, I can't even use thirty percent of my usual strength!" Mord said with a bitter smile.

"Morde, don't be reckless. Look at how calm he is. I bet he hasn't even used a tenth of his strength!" Qiu Ke said with some concern after observing Hawke III's every move.

"What?! If it were me... Wow, divine weapons!" He, who had just been frowning, suddenly found himself holding two giant, golden axes and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

The two axes were cast entirely in gold. The cylindrical handle of the left axe was engraved with a phoenix poised for flight, while the right axe depicted a dragon roaring towards the sky. Countless strange characters were also carved on the axe surfaces; those who understood the language of the gods would recognize them as ancient divine pronouncements.

As soon as Morde grasped the axe handles, two incredibly powerful forces surged from within the axes, flowing down his arm and into his dantian, merging to form an even stronger energy than before. Soon, he felt the axes connected to his flesh and blood, and a divine incantation naturally flashed into his mind. These two axes actually have a beautiful name—the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Axes. They were one of the most beloved magical weapons of the ancient God of War. After the outbreak of the war between gods and demons, the God of War disappeared, and the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Axes became ownerless, eventually ending up in my hands. Now I find these axes very suitable for Mord, so I'm giving them to him.

Consider these Dragon and Phoenix Twin Axes a gift from me! My deliberately suppressed voice came from above the side hall.

Thank you! Although I don't know who you are, I'm very grateful for your gift! Mord said sincerely. "

Honey, I asked you for a divine artifact the other day and you wouldn't give it to me, but today you gave one to a complete stranger!" Kelly pouted, protesting. "

Alright, alright, I'll give you a divine artifact another day, okay?" Seeing Kelly's charming face, I said gently. "

Okay, you said it!" Kelly said happily.

"Hmm, keep reading!" I was quickly drawn in by the exciting part that followed.

In Chapter 123 of the "Storm of the Wind and Clouds" arc, a disproportionate challenge

arises. With the aid of a divine artifact, Mord seemed divinely inspired, radiating a powerful aura that left Qiu Ke and Ke Xie, who had just tried to dissuade him, utterly dumbfounded. Even Hawke III, who had previously been dismissive, was moved. However, what moved him wasn't Mord's powerful aura, but rather the fact that the mysterious figure had so generously gifted Mord a divine artifact. If he too possessed a divine artifact, wouldn't he be even more formidable?

At this moment, Mord, brimming with pride, strode in front of Hawke III, wielding two giant axes, staring directly at him, and shouted: "I—want—to—challenge—you!" Hawke III glanced at the now-powerful Mord, snapped his fingers dismissively, and said indifferently: "I accept your challenge, but I don't want you to lose too quickly!" Seeing such contempt, Mord was enraged and roared: "Arrogant bastard!" Having said that, he swung the two golden axes at Hawke III.

"Child's play!" Just as the two golden axe shadows were about to strike his head, his figure vanished, and then his voice rang out from behind Maud.

Hearing the disdainful voice behind him, Maud was startled. He swung the axe in his left hand backward, seemingly intending to cleave Hawke III in two, but things didn't go as he imagined. "

Are you just a brute who knows only how to use brute force?" Hawke III's sneer rang out again behind him.

Having been repeatedly toyed with by Hawke III, Maud was enraged. That anger seemed to resonate within him, and the powerful energy hidden in his dantian suddenly surged forth, flowing through his arm and into the golden axe in his left hand. With a hiss, a golden axe aura burst forth from the axe blade. Caught off guard, Hawke III was grazed by the axe aura, the piercing force startling him. "

Interesting, very interesting. Such astonishing combat power at once! This Dragon and Phoenix Twin Axes truly lives up to its divine weapon name!" Hawke III chuckled, smoothing his clothes. "

Hmph, there are even more powerful moves waiting for you!" Mord sneered, slashing his golden axe in the air with his left hand, sending an arc-shaped blade of energy flying towards him. "

Hmph, daring to use such childish tricks to embarrass yourself? It's a desecration of the divine weapon's spirit!" Mord's axe strike lacked power, drawing disdain from Hawke III. "

Don't judge a book by its cover; that will only lead to a crushing defeat!" Mord smiled mysteriously at him.

Seeing Maud's mysterious smile, Hawke III suddenly sensed a change in the seemingly straightforward man before him. At that moment, the axe-like energy was closing in, threatening to cleave him in two in the blink of an eye.

He abandoned defense against this attack, believing it to be utterly harmless and insignificant. However, something unexpected happened. In his moment of carelessness, the axe-like energy suddenly became sharper, whistling as it struck his chest. Startled, Hawke III had no time to retaliate. With a shout, a dark shield enveloped him, seemingly intending to use it to resist the energy blade. But could such haste withstand a well-prepared attack?

With a bang, the energy blade collided with the shield, exploding. Hawke III, caught off guard, felt a tightness in his chest and abdomen, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

The power of the divine weapon was indeed extraordinary! Hawke III wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth. Whether his words carried admiration or sarcasm remained unclear.

"Hmph, this move is called 'hidden needle in cotton,' it's most effective against those who are complacent!" Mord seemed to understand the implication and retorted. "

You're still worth my time!" A black light gradually appeared on Hawke III's left hand. Then, with a slight lift of his left hand, the black light suddenly burst forth with clusters of black threads, wrapping around Mord.

Having already sensed that his opponent was troublesome, Mord was incredibly excited to see Hawke III make his first move. He clasped his hands together, combining his two throwing axes. To the astonishment of Qiu Ke and Ke Xie, the two axes merged before their eyes. In a flash of golden light, the two axes fused into a single golden axe, one side adorned with a dragon and the other with a phoenix. Finally, with a roar, he unleashed the only divine technique he had ever learned—the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony.

From the golden axe, countless golden rays burst forth, accompanied by a resounding dragon's roar and a high-pitched chirp. A dragon and a phoenix emerged from the axe, intertwined. Upon seeing the clumps of black threads flying towards them, the dragon and phoenix excitedly flew towards them without their master's command. With a swift swallow and peck, they devoured the black threads.

Hawke III remained unconcerned that his soul-drawing technique had been consumed by the dragon and phoenix. As the dragon and phoenix, having devoured the black threads, flew towards him, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, making him appear even more eerie. Suddenly, the dragon and phoenix let out a painful cry, for their once golden bodies were now covered with crisscrossing black threads. These threads tightened more and more, causing the dragon and phoenix to struggle incessantly, yet they could not break free. For these black threads originated from their very hearts.

Break! With a soft shout from Hawke III, the black light emanating from the dragon and phoenix intensified. Amidst their piercing screams, the proud dragon and phoenix were annihilated by the encroaching dark energy. Mord, who controlled the dragon and phoenix, felt as if struck by a sledgehammer in his chest. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he coughed up blood. His spirit wounded, he collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated.

Qiu Ke and Keshe, surprised by this unexpected turn of events, hurriedly helped Mord up, asking, "Mord, how are you? Are you alright?" "I'm fine, I can still defeat him!" Mord stubbornly tried to stand, but with such severe internal injuries, he had no strength left. Especially since the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony attack had drained all his energy, he was now more ordinary than an ordinary person. Even a small child could punch him and leave him half-dead, if not dead. "Mortals

are just mortals. They can't even unleash a tenth of the power of a divine weapon. How can they defeat me!" Hawke III clicked his

tongue in amazement. "What do you want?" Qiu Ke asked calmly.

"I told you, you'd all die here today. Let me show you the ultimate technique of the Dark God of the Underworld—the Dark God of the Underworld Orb!" Hawke III held a small, slowly rotating black orb in his left hand, hovering above his palm. Then, with a soft shout, he flung the orb forcefully towards them and the panicked Imperial Guards.

Sensing the immense energy contained within the black orb, the three were filled with despair. Their mission unfinished, they were dying before they could even begin. Marshal, we must leave you first!

But things didn't go as they expected. The Dark God of the Underworld Orb didn't land on them, because a miracle occurred—no, it should be said, the mysterious figure appeared. However, they were unaware of this, because before this, Kailis had already rendered them unconscious. "

Silver Wing Butterfly Shadow!" A clear, delicate shout rang out, and a flurry of black underworld butterflies met the oncoming Dark God of the Underworld Orb!

Several loud bangs followed as the butterflies and the black orb exploded simultaneously, the powerful shockwaves kicking up clouds of dust. After the dust settled, Kailis and Hawke III stood facing each other. Kailis remained calm, while Hawke III was visibly agitated. "

Little one, who is the Ice and Snow Black Lady, Sphenis?" Hawke III's voice, unusually aged for his status, came from his lips. "

I know you are a Dark Goddess, but how do you know my master's real name?" Kailis asked, surprised. Very few people knew her master's real name; even she had only learned it by chance. Yet this person knew everything about her master, which was highly suspicious. "

Is Sphenis alright? Is the Mangqiu Soul Flower still her favorite tea? Is her all-black attire still her favorite? And...where is she now?" Hawke III, suppressing his inner turmoil, asked urgently.

The more Kailis listened to Hawke III's words, the more alarmed she became. He even knew her master's habits so well; he was probably someone very close to her master. But after searching her memory for a long time, she couldn't recall such a person. This made her ask, "Who exactly are you?" "I...I am the Dark God of the Underworld, forgotten by the Underworld!" Hawk III stammered. (

Chapter 124 of the Chronicles of the Underworld: The Dark God of the Underworld)

"I...I am the Dark God of the Underworld, forgotten by the Underworld!" These were Hawk III's words to Kailis.

The Dark God of the Underworld, forgotten by the Underworld? Who exactly are you? Kailis's mind was full of questions, and she asked doubtfully.

One hundred and nine? Hoplett? Faced with such a person, she secretly shook her head, indicating that she didn't know him.

Hoplett wasn't offended at all. He said calmly, "It's natural that you don't know. I estimate that none of the current one hundred and eight Dark Gods of the Underworld know me, and even few of the previous generation's Dark Gods knew me, because I appeared early and disappeared quickly, only a few days!" Seeing that Kailis was listening intently, he smiled and continued, "Although it was only for a few days, I don't regret it, because it was then that I met the love of my life, your master, the Ice and Snow Black Lady, Sphenis. At that time, she was young and beautiful, with profound power, and was the 108th Dark God of the Underworld, the object of many gods' admiration. Meanwhile, I, ignorant and naive, had just advanced to the level of Dark God of the Underworld, but because the Underworld did not allow the existence of the 109th Dark God of the Underworld, in order to obtain this truly meaningful title, I challenged her, who was at the height of her power, and she readily agreed." Hopelett's face showed a happy smile, and he continued, "On the day of the duel, the first time I saw her, I was awestruck. A string in my heart couldn't help but be plucked. Hehe, I never thought I would fall in love with her at first sight. But to advance to a higher realm, I had to defeat her. That battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth trembled, even alarming the gods of the Underworld and the King of Hell." We fought fiercely, neither able to gain the upper hand. Finally, we unleashed our most powerful attacks. My Destructive Violet could have easily defeated her, but I couldn't bear to kill the woman I loved most, so I deliberately missed. Her Butterfly Dance Blood Kiss, however, struck me squarely. "Ah?!" As she listened, Kelly couldn't help but cry out. She knew the power of the Butterfly Dance Blood Kiss all too well; being hit by it would... But what happened next piqued Kelly's curiosity, and she

couldn't help but listen further. Because we were on the Phoenix Mountain of the Underworld, my missed Silver Scorpion Poison Wave, by sheer coincidence, struck the isolated, closed reverse passage, blasting open a small opening—just big enough for one person. And I, struck by her Butterfly Dance Blood Kiss, coughed up blood and flew towards the reverse passage. A powerful suction force emanating from the opening relentlessly pulled at my body. "With my previous skill, I could have easily escaped the pull of that reverse passage without a problem. But I was severely injured by her and couldn't dodge at all. I could only watch helplessly as I was sucked in!" "Ah! I heard my father say that those sucked into the reverse passage have their bodies and souls pulverized. Why did you…?" Kelly couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. "

That's exactly what I wanted to tell you." Hopelet smiled gently, and a Yuan Pearl suddenly emerged from between his brows. He floated the Yuan Pearl in front of them and said, "Look, it was this Netherworld Sacred Pearl that saved me in my time of crisis." When I was sucked into that reverse passage, my body was quickly torn to shreds, and even my soul trembled uncontrollably. Just then, the Netherworld Sacred Pearl suddenly emitted a black light that enveloped my soul and transported me to the human realm. "Then how did you impersonate Hawke III?" Kelly asked without any restraint, completely unconcerned about the power struggles.

I remember when I was sent to the human realm, since I had lost my physical body and my soul was inside the Netherworld Sacred Pearl, my first thought was to recreate my physical body. However, when traversing the reverse passage, the Netherworld Sacred Pearl consumed too much energy carrying me, making it impossible for me to recreate a physical body. I had no choice but to take on the body of a woman's unborn child, and the Netherworld Sacred Pearl put me into a deep sleep. Hopelet paused, then continued, "Who knew that this slumber would last for over thirty years? It was only when my host, Hedo, was about to be exterminated that I was awakened from my slumber. But the moment I awoke, Hedo's soul had already perished, so I became the controller of his body. However, in order to maintain the Netherworld Clan's formidable strength, I still recreated my body, which is why I am who I am today! Senior's fate is truly tragic, but your current actions are far too bloody, especially when you control a powerful nation, bringing devastating disasters to humanity! What is your purpose in doing this?" As Kelly finished speaking, she had already secretly prepared herself, waiting for him to utter something detrimental to humanity before killing him on the spot. "

I don't know, I really don't know, I don't even know what I've done?" Hoplet felt utterly lost; he had never felt so bewildered since regaining consciousness. What was the purpose of all this? Was it bloodthirsty cruelty? But he knew that wasn't his true nature. Yet, he felt a sense of bleakness and despair about the future; what path was worth taking? "

Haven't you thought of anything else? Like the person you love most!" Kelly tried to comfort him. "

The person I love most?" His eyes lit up, and he suddenly grabbed Kelly's arm, asking urgently, "Where is Sphenisci? I want to see her!" His expression was like that of a drowning man grasping at a lifeline. "

Let go, you're hurting me!" Kelly hadn't expected Hoplet to be so frantic at the thought of his master, even hurting her hand.

"Sir, please show some respect and don't bully my wife!" An invisible pressure struck the anxious Hoplet, causing him to loosen his grip in surprise. "

Who are you?" Hoplet then realized that someone had silently appeared beside him, which immediately put him on alert. He inwardly cursed himself for being so careless at this moment, almost putting himself in a desperate situation.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Kelly took my arm and laughed: "He's my husband!" Looking at the handsome, dashing, and unfathomably powerful young man before him, Hoplet finally uttered: "You're not human! I am indeed not human!" These few words left everyone wondering what they meant, and the scene fell silent once again.

Kailis seemed to dislike the awkward silence. Winking at him, she said, "Senior, didn't you want to see my master? My husband can take you!" Hopelett didn't seem to notice Kailis's subtle gesture, but upon hearing that he could return to the Demon Realm, he couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "Really?!" "But you still have to answer a small question for me!" Kailis said, her voice drawn out, a mysterious smile flashing in her eyes.

"What question?" "Ask away, as long as I know the answer!" Hopelett asked eagerly. "

The question is simple, why does my master never mention you in front of us?" Kailis asked slyly.

"This… I can't answer that question. You'd better ask your master!" Hopelett looked surprised and smiled wryly.

"Does your master love you?" Kailis asked again. "

I don't know. I only know that I've loved her deeply all these years, and I'm going back to confess my feelings to her!" Hopelett smiled wryly again. "So, it's unrequited love!" "Kalis chuckled.

Whether it's unrequited love or whatever, my deep affection for your master will never change!" Hopelett said solemnly. "

Alright, senior! I've finished my question. I'll send you to the Demon Realm right away!" Kalis sensed the deep affection in his words and said earnestly. "

Is that true? The Demon Realm is so far away, can you really send me there?" Hopelett still couldn't believe we had the ability to send him there. "

Of course it's true! I wouldn't lie to you! My husband is an expert in this area!" Kalis answered proudly. "

Don't you have a teleportation ring? Why don't you use it to send him?" I countered. "

This ring requires Father's energy to open, and the pressure inside is extremely heavy; even the Dark God might not be able to withstand it!" Kalis said, her face a little pale. "

Uh… I really couldn't find a single word to refute her.

'Husband, please, please help me!' Kalis said coquettishly."

"Fine...alright!" I had no choice but to reluctantly agree, unable to resist her persistent pestering. Looking at the gleaming golden teleportation array before him, Hopelet finally couldn't hold back his tears, thanking us profusely. Indeed,

decades

of longing, decades of unwavering devotion, finally realized today—how could he not be excited, how could he not be happy?

Finally, amidst his grateful expression, we teleported him out, and Kelly and I breathed a sigh of relief. After finding the secret passage switch he mentioned, Kelly and I entered the cell imprisoning Alice and Hawke III.

Crossing several thresholds and passing through several doors, we could hear Alice and Hawke III's conversation in the distance. "

Brother, don't be so discouraged. Even Uncle is now suspecting that the one upstairs is an imposter, so he's confined my hundreds of thousands of troops in his territory. He doesn't dare do anything to them right now; he can't explain to the people until he hands me over!" Alice kindly advised.

"Sister, you have no idea how many years I've spent in this dungeon. How could you understand the pain in my heart! Over the years, I've finally come to understand one thing: good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. It's not that retribution won't come, but that the time hasn't arrived yet. Because of the weight of my sins, these past few years of quiet life have taught me a lot!" Hawke III sighed. "

Brother, if we can get out, I hope you can be a good emperor!" Alice knew her brother had done many infuriating things, but the bond of blood prevented her from speaking her mind. "

Sister!" Hawke III seemed to understand her words, tears streaming down his face, and he embraced Alice

, weeping bitterly. What a loving brother and sister! If only they had known this earlier! A round of clapping sounded from the prison gate, and I followed Kelly into this prison for the king. "

It's you!" Alice's eyes sparkled. When she saw a woman of unparalleled beauty standing beside me, a pang of sorrow suddenly welled up in her heart. "

Who is he?" "Why are you looking at him with such a strange gaze!" Hawke III couldn't help but ask when he saw his sister staring intently at the unfamiliar man before her. "

He...he's the one who defeated me, the Grand Marshal of the Fire Dance Duchy, Xie Yun, known throughout the continent as the Dragon God General." Facing me, she always seemed to have a complex emotion threatening to burst forth, but her deliberate suppression prevented it from erupting.

"Ah, so we're enemies now!" Hawke III exclaimed in surprise. Seeing his sworn enemy standing in his own palace, speaking to him, the astonishment in his heart was unimaginable. "

You could say that, my esteemed Your Majesty, but I believe we will be friends from now on!" I bowed slightly to him, extending my hand with a smile. "

Friends? Friends!" Hawke III unconsciously grasped my hand, murmuring. "

Your Majesty, I won't waste any more words. I believe Alice has already told you about your country's defeat. Let's talk about signing a peace treaty!" I cut straight to the point, smiling.

"A peace treaty? I imagine you came here for more than just that. Trying to use me to restrain other forces in the empire? Dream on!" Alice retorted sarcastically. "

Your Highness Alice, as expected of a ruler, guessed almost perfectly." "Indeed, we originally intended to use this opportunity to rescue you, allowing you to negotiate with His Majesty, thus preventing the empire from attacking us! However, the plan has now changed slightly!" I smiled slightly, mentally assessing the situation, and then laid it all out. "

Such a deep scheme! Sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight, one will inevitably be injured, and the other will be weaker, allowing the Fire Dance Duchy to seize the opportunity to conquer the empire!" Hawke III and Alice saw shock in each other's eyes. "

I believe the Dragon God General didn't just say these things to gain our trust!" "As the monarch of a nation, though imprisoned, his regal aura remains undiminished." "

Actually, it's not as serious as His Majesty makes it out to be." As a victorious nation, we could demand that the defeated nations cede territory and sue for peace. However, our population is already small, and a larger area would be difficult to manage. So, let's not ask for anything else; something practical would be better, some compensation would suffice. I chuckled. "

How much do you want?" Hawke III asked, narrowing his eyes.

"One billion!" Two words burst from my mouth.

"One billion? You should know that our national treasury only has five billion in revenue each year. Isn't this extortion?" Alice exclaimed, jumping up and down. "

I agree to your demand!" Hawke Empire thought quietly for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"Heh heh, indeed quite straightforward, worthy of a ruler!" I clapped my hands and laughed. "

Brother, are you crazy? How could you agree to this bastard's unreasonable demand?" Alice screamed anxiously. "

Sister, what's wrong with you today? You're nothing like the shrewd and wise goddess of a hundred battles you used to be!" Hawke III noticed Alice's unusual behavior today. From the moment I entered until now, she had been constantly at odds with me, and he wondered what she was thinking.

Hearing Hawke III's reprimand, Alice quickly fell silent. But then my voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Beautiful lady, aren't you afraid I'll raise the price if you keep going against me like this?" "You—!" Alice glared at me angrily. "

Nonsense!" Hawke III, seeing his sister glaring at the man before him like an enemy, couldn't help but pull her behind him and apologize, "My dear sister, please forgive my rudeness!" "It's alright, it's alright!" I chuckled. "How could I blame Her Highness for such a small matter!" "It was you who caused this trouble, yet you've made your brother resent me!" Alice, hiding behind Hawke III, gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes blazing with fury—a sight that would surely surprise anyone. "

I hope we can cooperate smoothly!" Hawke III extended his hand and smiled.

"A pleasure doing business with you!" I extended my hand and shook his, laughing heartily.

After rescuing the two from the tunnel, Alice saw Mord and the other two still unconscious beside the side hall and asked, "Why are they here too? As their commander, you couldn't have guessed they were coming to rescue you, could you?" I questioned.

"Hmph, I'm not stupid, how could I not know!" Alice scoffed. "

They'll wake up in half an hour, you can handle it!" I said calmly.

Just then, a dark shadow flashed past me, and a person dressed in black knelt before me, respectfully saying, "My lord, I have successfully completed the task you assigned!" "Hmm, well done. I will reward you handsomely when we return. You may leave now!" I said with a slight wave of my hand. "

Yes!" The figure in black vanished before our eyes in a flash.

Hawke III and Alice had been in a state of shock since the appearance of the person in black, and they had not yet recovered from their shock even after the person in black disappeared.

"I never expected that besides him being a super expert, the people around him were also top-tier experts," Alice thought to herself. "

If that man in black had attacked me just now, I probably would be dead," Hawke III thought to himself, his face pale. From then on, he recruited experts from all over the world, and every time he traveled, he was escorted by a large number of skilled guards, allowing him to narrowly escape danger time and time again—but that's another story.

Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, I was naturally very happy. However, I maintained a calm demeanor in front of them and said, "Your Majesty, our objective has been achieved. Farewell!" A flash of white light appeared, and our figures disappeared before their eyes.

Spatial magic? Hawke III and Alice were taken aback.

Hawke III had gradually confirmed his idea: he must recruit a group of experts to ensure his safety. Otherwise, if even one of those skilled men in black came to assassinate him, he would be dead without a burial place.

Alice, too, was caught in a daze. She sensed my increasingly mysterious identity, fueling an urge to uncover its secrets. Little did she know, this very desire was drawing her into an inescapable trap, and by the time she realized it, it was too late.

News of the Hawk Empire's defeat had already spread throughout the entire Magic Martial Continent. The glorious achievement of a weak nation defeating one of the four great empires had secretly alarmed the powerful nations. Amidst this alarm, they quietly prepared for any potential attack from the Fire Dance Duchy.

Another major move by the Hawk Empire caused a huge uproar among the various empires: suing for peace with the Fire Dance Duchy and paying a reparations amount of one billion gold coins. Even the other three great empires dared not imagine such a thing. The Hawk Empire's actions shattered the balance of power among the four nations, and a great war seemed imminent. The continent was rife with undercurrents, and war was on the verge of erupting at any moment.

In Chapter 126 of the "Storm of Wind and Cloud,"

after Kana's assassination and receiving compensation from the Hawk Empire, the Fire Dance Duchy rose in status, joining the ranks of the five great powers. Those covetous empires no longer dared to underestimate the Fire Dance Duchy, this sleeping lion now fully awake, and instead, they were constantly on guard against it. As the Duchy's greatest contributor, and as the Dragon God General, I was naturally highly sought after by the people. However, no one expected that a gray, ordinary carriage carrying important figures of the Duchy would leave the Duchy.

"Husband, I feel like a rat crossing the street, hurriedly dodging people's pursuit!" Kelly pouted and complained.

"Oh, why do you say that? We're on an incognito tour, you know?" Hearing Kelly's complaint, I, who was resting my head on Lia's jade legs, quickly sat up and corrected her.

"I can't help it, who would have thought I'd be so popular!" Seeing the two women still laughing, I reached out and tickled the three women's sensitive areas, and immediately the carriage echoed with the playful laughter of me and the women.

"Stop laughing! Stop laughing! You're making fun of your own boss! See how I deal with you!" Our laughter filled the air.

"What? You say Kana was being chased by unknown assailants? What exactly happened?!" I slammed my hand on the table, my face ashen as I stared at my bowed subordinates.

"Young Master, we failed in our duty and didn't protect Miss Kana properly. Please forgive us!" The iron warriors knelt on the ground in fear, begging for mercy.

"Get up, all of you!" My expression suddenly softened. As I helped them up, I said, "I think this assassination attempt on Kana was purposeful. I'm already very pleased that you were able to rescue her from that predicament."

"Thank you for sparing our lives, Young Master!" the iron warriors said gratefully. The iron warriors, who had thought their heads were in danger, found their young master so amiable, and their resolve to follow him deepened.

"Alright, you may all leave now." Just as they were about to leave through the door, I suddenly called them back, "Bring Steward Mike in!"

Soon, Mike received my order and came before me, bowing and saying, "Young Master, what brings you here?"

"Uncle Mike, I believe you've already heard about Kana's assassination attempt. What are your thoughts?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Reporting to Young Master, based on my preliminary calculations and the traces left at the scene, the group that assassinated Miss seems to belong to the number one assassin organization on the Magic Martial Continent—the Assassin's Hall." After organizing the information he had gathered recently, Mike told me this deduction.

"The Assassin's Hall, it's the Assassin's Hall again! After failing to assassinate me several times, they've actually set their sights on the women around me! I'll make you regret ever being born!" A domineering aura suddenly erupted from me, forcing Mike to use his internal energy to resist. The previous clash of power had greatly benefited him, and this current power was even stronger and more intense, perhaps allowing him to reach a higher level of spiritual attainment.

Just as Mike was experiencing that unprecedented state of mind, the domineering aura of a king had subsided, and my voice rang in his ears: "Uncle Mike, how much do you know about the Assassin's Guild?"

"According to my preliminary investigation, the Assassin's Guild is spread throughout the entire Magic Martial Continent. They have four major branches on each of the four continents of Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, and then several smaller branches on each continent. Their power is astonishing," Mike said quietly.

"If we were to face them, what would the outcome be?" I asked calmly.

"Fifty-fifty!"

"What if we include those people being hunted by the Assassin's Guild? What do you think the odds would be then?" I said with a cold smile.

"Absolutely certain!" Mike said confidently.

“Good, that makes things easier. Announce the locations of the assassin gang's smaller branches across the continents and see how they react! We'll deal with the four major branches ourselves!” I said, a cold glint in my eyes.

“Yes, Young Master!” Mike replied respectfully.

...

“If there’s nothing else, this old servant will take his leave!” Mike bowed and headed towards the door.

“Uncle Mike, please wait a moment. Call Alaska here too; I have some questions for him!” I called after Mike.

“Yes, sir!” Mike instructed the guards outside, then stood respectfully beside me.

Soon, Alaska arrived in a hurry. Upon seeing Mike and me, he bowed and said, "Master, did you summon me for something?"

"Alaska, what do you know about the distribution of the Assassin's Guild? Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, Young Master! The Assassin's Guild's assassins are divided into three types: Gold Assassins, Silver Assassins, and Bronze Assassins, with Gold Assassins being the highest level. However, each level of assassin is further divided into three ranks: First-Rank Assassin, Second-Rank Assassin, and Third-Rank Assassin, with First-Rank being the highest!" Alaska explained in detail.

"So what rank are you?" I asked.

"Gold Rank One!" Alaska said proudly.

"Good, continue!" I smiled and gestured.

"Our organization of Gold Rank Assassins has thirteen members in total. I am Rank One, there are two Rank Two, and ten Rank Three. We Gold Rank Assassins rarely go out unless the Hall Master sends us out in special circumstances. Gold Rank Assassins are usually sent to assassinate royalty and those ancient figures, while Silver Rank Assassins are mainly responsible for assassinating nobles and princes, and Bronze Rank Assassins are responsible for general assassination missions," Alaska continued.

"So your Assassin Hall considers me an important figure!" I sneered.

"You could say that. I rarely go out, because as a Gold Rank One Assassin, even the Hall Master can't necessarily control me. In my entire assassin career, I'm only allowed to assassinate three times, and you are my last mission!" Alaska said calmly.

"If you successfully assassinate me, what will the consequences be?" I asked.

"My career as an assassin is over. The organization will give me a substantial reward so I can live a peaceful life!" Alaska said, a hint of melancholy on his face.

"I don't think things are that simple! Think about your predecessors, they're probably all dead somewhere else. After all, no organization can tolerate a powerful figure in the shadows!" I guessed, noticing the worry in his brow.

"Indeed, as you said, young master, I experienced something like that before I became a top-tier assassin. It was when our famous veteran assassin—the serial killer—was being hunted down. Although the serial killer was incredibly strong, he had no chance of escape when pursued by numerous experts. In the end, the serial killer could only self-destruct and die in regret." Alaska recalled everything carefully, his expression sorrowful.

"It seems we really can't let the Assassin's Guild exist in this world anymore!" I said calmly.

"Young master, why do you say that? Could it be..." Alaska was indeed a clever person, understanding my meaning from my words.

"Alaska, go for it! I'll support you!" I said with a faint smile.

"Thank... thank you for your kindness, Young Master!" Alaska said excitedly upon hearing my words of encouragement.

"Go!"

After dealing with these matters, I hurriedly headed to Kana's quarters. As soon as I entered, I saw my wives chatting and laughing with Kana, who was lying pale on the hospital bed. Even Kelly, who had only recently arrived, seemed much more familiar with them. It seemed they were slowly accepting her, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Look, your husband is here!" Vivian, with her sharp eyes, spotted me from the doorway.

"Kana, why don't you chat with your husband for a bit? We'll head out now!" Lia chuckled and led the women out of the room. However, as they passed by me, they gave me a resentful look, making me break out in a cold sweat.

After everyone had left the room, I wiped my forehead and looked at Kana lying on the hospital bed. At this moment, Kana seemed to exude a sickly beauty, two red clouds appearing on her pale face, clearly affected by Lia's playful remark earlier.

I gently walked to her side, stroked her hand, and smiled, "Kana, are you feeling better?"

Whether it was shyness or something else, the red clouds on Kana's face deepened, and she tried to pull her hand away, whispering, "Xie...Xieyun, don't do that, all the sisters are watching!"

Having a rare opportunity to be close to this beauty, how could I let it pass? I took her hand in mine and chuckled, "We're all family, what's there to be shy about!"

"Who...who's family with you!" Kana blushed, her head lowered to her chest.

"Look, they all call me 'husband,' you should call me that too!" I said with a lewd grin.

"No...no." Kana pushed me away.

"Really? My wife Kana, where did your usual carefree personality go?" I feigned surprise.

"..."

After all that trouble, although my feelings for Kana had progressed further, she still didn't dare to make any intimate moves with me under the watchful eyes of many outsiders, which made me quite frustrated. Meanwhile, the women who were secretly watching from outside covered their mouths and chuckled.
