"FUCK!"
*Crash*
*Bam*
Felix shouted in rage as he threw a vase at a wall.
"Those Bastards! They dare kill my sister!?"Beside him stood Leo who had just returned after meeting with the Falconkin and was carrying the contract signed by Alistair in his hands.
How the fact that the Shadow of Silence captured Rune alive was a lie.
How they said that just so they could get their reward.
How they signed the contract stating that Rune was dead.
He reported everything to Felix.
And when Felix learned the truth, he burst out in rage.
"Lord Felix, there is nothing we can do about it right now. It was our fault for not doing a proper background check on them."Leo spoke in a respectful tone.
Felix glared at him, however, he didn't flinch, he just stood there with his head bowed.
Felix clenched his fists in rage, however, in the end, he knew that Leo was right.
It was not the Shadow of Silence's fault, they only completed the mission he gave them. Even though he gave it with the intention of using them as a scapegoat and never actually considered that they could actually complete it.
"I still don't understand…
How did those bastards kill Rune?
I know my sister the best, even though we were not close to each other anymore, she was still someone who was stronger than me, I know she is capable enough to keep her life even if a few Saint Stage Cultivators attack her together, then how…
Do they have a Divine Stage Cultivator behind them?" Felix questioned.
"That is highly unlikely, Lord Felix. No Divine Stage Cultivator would assassinate another Divine Stage Cultivator's daughter just for a mere 11 Star Artifact."
Leo shook her head.
"Then do they have a Peak Saint Stage amongst them?"
That was the only way someone like Rune could be killed. If not Divine Stage Cultivator, then at least a Peak Saint and a few more normal Saints were required.
"But according to our information, the Shadow of Silence only had 1 Saint Stage cultivator…"
Felix frowned.
"Lord Felix…"
Suddenly, Leo called out with an uncertain look on his face.
"What is it?"
"…it could be the Falcons who are behind it…
They wanted to kill Lady Rune from the beginning… could it be that they came up with this plan after you rejected their suggestion of killing Lady Rune…?"
Leo proposed his own theory.
It was a probable theory.
If it were the Falcons, then they definitely have enough manpower to kill Lady Rune, there was a high chance that they actually decided to talk with Shadow of Silence behind their backs and decided to kill Rune.
Not to mention how they simply gave away an 11-Star Artifact to them just like that…
Their actions were definitely suspicious.
However,
"I told you before, did I not?
Do not doubt them.
We do not have time for infighting."
Felix spoke with a cold look on his face.
Seeing that look on his face, Leo was taken aback, Felix had never directed such a look at him. Leo couldn't understand, why was Lord Felix so fixated on helping the Falconkin go through with this plan.
Even though he was Lord Felix's most trusted subordinate, he was still kept in the dark about all this.
"Should we not even consider this possibility, Lord Felix?" Leo didn't wish to give up.
"Leo."
Suddenly, Felix called out.
"Do not doubt them."
"A-As you command, Lord Felix."
Leo could only give in.
Felix then looked into Leo's eyes and,
"It is not that I do not trust you, Leo. I just do not want you to get involved in this mess any more than you already have.
Don't worry, trust me and do what I tell you."
"…yes, Lord Felix."
Leo nodded.
"Please call Aragorn."
Felix spoke up.
"Are you sure?"
"We already have the contract, Leo.
Rune is dead, we do not have to worry about it being a trap anymore.
I cannot save Rune, I regret that."
Felix spoke, then, a determined look appeared on his face and,
"Now, however, I have to continue with the plan.
Call Aragorn."
He ordered.
"As you command, Lord Felix."
Leo turned around and left the room.
Felix took a deep breath,
It was finally time to start what he had been preparing for all these years.
…
On the other side, inside the Shadow of Silence's building,
"Lady Rune, this is the new Assassination mission we received."
Alistair spoke up.
"If you are going to take all the decisions on your own, then why even bother showing anything to me."
Rune spoke with a cold look on her face.
"…"
Alistair turned silent.
It has been 4 days since then, and Lady was still angry.
Isn't he the one risking his life here? A loyal subordinate like him should be treated well, shouldn't he? Why was Lady Rune even colder than usual?
"Lady Rune, I-"
Alistair wanted to confront Rune, but then,
"It looks like Lady Rune is still made about the foolish thing Alistair did."
Nux walked into the room through a portal and spoke with a smile on his face.
He glanced at Rune and then, he shook his head,
"Tsk Tsk, Lady Rune, I have no clue what you are going to do without me."
Nux snorted as he shook his head.
"What do you mean…?" Rune questioned.
She wasn't in the mood for any jokes right now.
"What else? I couldn't bear to see how sad you were, so I decided to do something about the situation."
"What did you do?" Rune narrowed her eyes in confusion, however, a glimmer of hope could be seen in her eyes.
Even though Nux was merely a Great Sage, he was far more capable than anyone she has ever met.
In this position, she was willing to bet on the dark horse.
"I followed that Falconkin all the way to the Skythorn Falcon City, I saw him giving the contract to that Leo, so the Contract should be with Felix now.
It would be a lot simpler to retrieve it from him so you don't have to worry,
This idiot won't die."
Nux spoke as he pointed at Alistair.
"What…?"
Alistair couldn't believe what he heard.
"Are you telling the truth…?" Rune questioned.
From how she was talking, one could tell how emotionally affected she was.
"Of course, I would never lie about such a thi-"
Nux nodded his head, however, before he could complete his sentence, Rune shot towards him and hugged his body as tightly as she could.
"Thank you!"
She expressed her gratitude in an emotional voice.
"-ng…"
Nux was taken aback.
Everything happened so quickly that he couldn't even react to it. The moment he gained back his sense, Rune had already moved away.
Then without saying anything,
She disappeared.
Nux stood there, frozen stiff.
He only came out of his reverie when Alistair patted his shoulder.
Nux glanced at the man and then,
"Guess you wouldn't have to pay me after all.
You are quite useful, my close friend."
"Huh…?"
