Sam and the team reached the realm where the assassin organization’s branch is.
The organization is actually disguised as a merchant association. And they are called the Black Curtain Merchant association.
Everyone knows they take jobs for killing people, but nobody dares to confront them, in every place, they are right now, they control the underworld and even the local governments have to comply.
If they were made known about Sam’s arrival because of Hou Yi’s stupid attempt to delay Sam, then things would have been really troublesome, as they had a great experience in going to hiding and fight long-lasting annoying battles.
But luckily the team managed to cut off the chain when they dealt with the last organization that are responsible for spreading the news to others.
Anyway, if the chain reaction would have to trigger again, they would rather let this Black curtain gone first before anything else happens, it would be really annoying if the guys from this organization escaped with the heirloom.
Sam and the team entered the city directly this time. All they did is try their best to hide their cultivation and keep a bit of a low profile.
They enquired a bit and entered the inn that was under the Black Curtain.
When they settled in, Sam conducted a meeting.
When everyone came in, he took out a small device and pressed a button, an energy wave occurred and a few small popping sounds were heard in the walls and corners of the room.
"Too many things to spy on the people."
Sam muttered and said to the team.
"I want you guys to enquire about some rare herbs in the vicinity and how to find them. Try to be a team and at the same time be on odds with each other when you are not with each other. Act a bit suspicious."
"Boss, what is with all the acting? Can we not just deal with them directly?"
"They have at least eighteen branches in different realms and every realm has at least one or two organizations that have people with Peak stage Transcendent cultivation of Astral Plane. But they still didn’t manage to take control of this group. Of course, part of the reason would be that they use them for their dirty work, but that doesn’t make them any less dangerous.
If we openly do something to them, we would be poking a hornet’s nest. If the hornets are just targeting us, it would be okay, but these hornets will just escape from our sites.
We need to create confusion and some chaos. Then after making sure that another chain reaction doesn’t occur, we can deal with them."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, Sam gave them some specific instructions before letting them go.
The next day, Agar went to the pharmaceutical shop to ask about some herbs, later that afternoon, Tamas went there and sneakily approached the shop attendant. He took out a picture of Agar and asked him.
"I think she came to the shop you are working at this morning. I want to know what she asked for."
The attendant looked at him suspiciously.
But Tamas just slipped a spatial ring into his hands and asked.
"Now can you tell me?"
"Sir, I really am tempted by your offer, but she was very secretive about the whole process and talked to my boss privately. But if you want, I have a way to get some information. The price will be higher."
"Don’t care about the price. I need the information."
With that Tamas left as sneakily as he met him.
The same things kept on happening the next week. Everyone on the team contacted a seller on something and every one of them wanted to find what the other is buying.
The whole process is chaotic but completely under the wraps, except for the few people in the city and the people that are involved in the sham without even knowing cared about it.
Sam is also involved in this.
In fact, he actually managed to fish some more information than the others and after exactly one week, he went to meet the manager of the inn.
"Hello, I heard that you wanted to meet me."
The manager asked Sam.
"Yes, I do. But do you mind stopping the recording devices all over the room? It is getting a bit problematic for me to ignore them."
The Manager smiled and used some tokens to turn off the recording devices.
"So, now you can tell me."
"I would like to put up an assignment."
"Oh, really? Our inn is specialized in that. What kind of assignment do you want? Beasts, herbs, metal ores, delivery? We could all kinds of jobs around the realm."
"How about an assassination?"
The manager’s smile disappeared for a second and then it came back again, but this time it is a bit different.
"You should have said that from the start."
"I would like one of my teammates who is staying in room 18 at the moment gone, tomorrow, he is going to leave the inn and enter the forest. I would like you guys to deal with him there."
"What is the cultivation level of your teammate?"
"Initial stage Transcendence of Astral Plane."
"Okay, that would be possible. Just so you know, anything beyond that will take some time. For the middle stage two days, late-stage four days, and peak stage one week. Without that buffer period, we wouldn’t take any assignments of those respective levels." The manager explained.
"I don’t think I asked you about that."
"Of course, but I believe that with the behavior of your group, it would only be a matter of time. By the way, for our existing customers, we would give a grace period if they were also targeted through our organization.
If one of your teammates places a hit on you, we will give you a heads up, you can either escape within three days or you can pay triple the price on your head to kill the client that placed a hit on you.
And for your earlier assignment, for every failed attempt, you need to increase the price by ten percent.
If in any case, we don’t finish your assignment, we will return all the money you gave us. If you agree with that, let us sign a contract."
With that, he took out a black scroll.
"I don’t know if you have ever heard of this. This is called the Devil Scroll. The contract made has to be fulfilled and cannot be broken unless both parties agree. Read the condition properly before making a decision."
Sam nodded and read the scroll before signing with his own blood and spiritual imprint.
He knew a bit about devil scroll. This is made from the skin of the beast which is going to be harvested through special means. A beast that has attributes of dark elements and abilities to use soul for attacks is used and it will go through a special style of breeding and it would be fed with souls and all these souls will be forcefully merged together with the soul of the beast as the main body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis abomination of a result will be merged into the scroll made of the skin of the same beast.
But the abomination wouldn’t be physically linked to the world.
They would be in a space where the stray souls used by the spirit enchanters reside and they would make a link with the two people who use that contract.
The one who breaks the contract will be marked by the abomination and it would transcend from that stray world to the actual world no matter where a person is.
Sam carefully read the contract by keeping that in mind.
After it was done, he left.
The target of the contract is the Saber Monarch.
As Sam made the contract and went back to the room, he informed the teammates and made them great ready for the next step of the plan.
Night Ghost and Sam will be going there along with the Saber Monarch using the Ice divine dimension. Sam used the hologram formation he made to make them believe that he is inside the room.
And the next day, Saber Monarch left for the forest early in the morning.
He took his time and explored the forest leisurely. When he went deep enough by noon and took a rest in the cave, the assassins finally showed up.
Two throwing knives from two different directions were thrown at Saber Monarch.
He took out his saber instantly and took a three-sixty degree turn creating a large arc of saber ray slicing the throwing knives as well as thrashing the cave away forcing the assassins out of their hiding place.
The assassins came out, they are wearing dark cloaks completely covering their bodies.
They moved the same and even their auras are similar as they attacked Saber Monarch.
Sam who is watching the scene from inside the divine dimension didn’t expect that the other party would send two assassins at the same time.
It seems like they wanted to make sure that everything goes well with the operation and no mishaps would occur.
The skill of the two assassins is better than most of their peers, so most of the people at same level would surely die.
But to their bad luck, they are all but a small part of this large plan. Otherwise, they would have a decorated career as assassins.
