Assassination System

Inside a dimly-lit room, the figures of Rudolph and Maxwell could be seen standing before each other.

"Pavilion Chief, are you willing to let them go like that?" Rudolph knitted his eyebrows, his expression darkened when he remembered the shame and humiliation that he suffered under the hands of that silver-haired woman.

Maxwell's expression looked the same albeit darker. A terrifying atmosphere surrounded his body and one could feel the suppressed hatred and fury within his body by just looking at his locked eyebrows.

"Of course, I am not willing to let them go! But with our statuses we can't possibly deal with them personally, right? Or else if those bastards heard about my actions, then what would happen to my face?" Maxwell replied in irritation, Rudolph's indignance seeped out and he replied with a venomous tone, "If Elder isn't willing to deal with them personally, then let this subordinate of yours deal with that brat and that bitch..."

His eyes flashed in a murderous light and Maxwell who stood before him couldn't help but lift a vicious smile. Of course, as an absolute territory in this region, Maxwell could personally deal with Dan and Grace. However, he wasn't stupid. Someone like those two who daringly opposed them should've numerous trump cards hidden under their sleeves.

Maxwell was afraid of those trump cards but using this stupid subordinate of his, he could test out the waters and if his subordinate died under the hands of Dan, then he also succeeded in getting rid of a stupid and senile old man like Rudolph.

In other words, Rudolph's suggestion was a win-win situation. How could Maxwell refuse the former's proposal? After giving Rudolph some offensive and defensive talismans, the former set off towards the distant establishment of the Longinus Pharmaceutical Company.

=====================

With the retreat of the two Elders from the Medicine Pavilion. The mortals who raised their pitchforks and vented out their frustration roared towards the skies in cheers. Thanking Grace with all of their hearts, the mortals soon dispersed in fear that the members of the Medicine Pavilion may catch up to them.

Dan handed over a bottle of water to Grace and the latter received it with thanks. But as soon as she chugged it down, her eyes widened in realization and she almost choked as her cheeks reddened in embarrassment.

To think that I made such a display before the young master!

Dan turned towards her in confusion and panic flashed through Grace's eyes as she staggered backward and kept her distance from him. Dan revealed a wry smile, as someone who conquered hundreds of waifus back in his previous life, how could he not feel Grace's affection for him?

Shaking his head, Dan cleared his thoughts and said, "Grace, I didn't expect that such an exotic beauty like you could erupt like that when angered..." Hearing his words, Grace's countenance thoroughly flushed and she looked like an apple.

Dan chuckled towards such a sight and after saying his thanks towards the Enforcement Team. He dragged Grace with him and left Kevin alone in managing the closure of the establishment. As the prized treasure of the Mirthful Fairies Association, Grace's treatment was top-notch and she had her own residence inside the vast pavilion of the Association.

Dan found Grace's room as completely fitting for her, with minimalistic decorations apart from several ornaments that she collected amidst her adventure inside the Academy. Her room looked pure and without a speck of dust. Dan could see that she thoroughly cared for every belonging that she had and this attitude of hers made him smile.

Grace possessed terrifying composure and state of mind, proven by the fact that she could fiercely retaliate against those Elders from the Medicine Pavilion. Nevertheless, she was still a young woman and an inexperienced one at that. Dan's sudden intrusion inside her room made her feel anxious, yet blissful.

Taking a deep breath to calm her surging nerves, Grace's eyes flashed with a critical light, her young master was visiting her, it was just right that she served him in a way that he deserved. Taking her apron, Grace strapped it on her slender-waist before taking a bunch of cooking ingredients from another cabinet.

Dan felt the temperature of the room rising and he turned towards Grace's direction. There, she found the silver-haired beauty looking somewhat anxious as she stared at the pan before her. Dan could smell a burning sensation wafting in the air and his expression changed.

"Grace, what the hell are you doing, the meat is burning! Turn down the fire, turn down the fire!" Dan shouted at the side and Grace hurriedly followed Dan's instructions. But alas, in the end, their dinners turned into charcoal as Dan stared at it with a weird smile on his face.

Grace covered her face with both of her palms and her shoulders trembled as she uttered, "Young master, I'm sorry that I burned our dinner..." Dan's appearance made her feel confident about herself, and this cockiness resulted in her failure.

Dan lightly chuckled, taking a piece of charcoal that had the shape of a meat, Dan tasted it and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Wow! Grace, I didn't expect that you know how to cook exotic delicacies from Kalur. This tastes quite smokey and delectable..."

Grace's lips repeatedly twitched and with a pain-filled expression, she ate the charcoal along with Dan whose expression looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

Several minutes later, only the sound of running water existed in the completely silenced room. Before the sink stood Grace whose forehead riddled with beaded sweat. Glancing at Dan behind her, strange ideas formed in her mind.

"Could it be that the reason why the young master intruded in my room is that he wants to take me once and for all? No, that couldn't be! Young master is an upright man and it is unlikely that he would do such an immoral thing!"

"Wait, wait, wait, Grace, if that's not his aim, then why did he come here in the first place when he has his own home with Elder Sis Natalie at the Fragrant Peak Pavilion?"

"Well, if that's his reason for coming here...I can't really say that...I don't like it...But..." Grace raised both of her arms and touched her cheeks. She could feel the burning sensation that surfaced on her face as she shook her head and disposed of those strange ideas.

Nevertheless, she still couldn't prevent herself from imagining what would possibly happen if Dan really did stay in her home and didn't return to his residence.

Previously living in a community where violence and all sorts of heinous crimes were common. Grace wasn't completely ignorant regarding the relations between man and a woman, thus she felt high-strung about Dan's motive and what was to come.

Sitting before the table was Dan whose eyebrows, knitted in deep contemplation. Judging from the shameless personalities of the two elder's who arrived earlier and the words that they said about arresting him, Dan picked some clues and realized that the two elder was thinking that he was a fake Honorary Disciple.

What happened went completely off Dan's plan and now he was in deep thought in regards to his next course of actions. Nevertheless, Dan was certain that something will definitely happen to Grace if he didn't accompany him tonight.

As for the reason? First, Grace was a mere mortal. A mere mortal challenging the authority of the Medicine Pavilion, how could they let her go unscathed now that they thought that the backing behind her was just a false facade.

Second, if they got rid of Grace, the Longinus Pharmaceutical Company would lose a prized pacifier and would have to ask for external help, and under the deterrence of the Medicine Pavilion's influence, no one would dare to help the Longinus Company due to the fact that both are on the opposing side.

Third, once Grace disappeared out of the picture, they believed that they could easily subdue the remnants of the Mirthful Fairies Association.

Letting out a smirk, Dan couldn't help but smile. Grace who kept on glancing at him noticed the slight smile on her face and she took it as a smile of anticipation towards what would happen tonight.

Grace's knees trembled and almost gave out. Calming her ragged breathing, she squirmed and became even more embarrassed when she felt the moisture between her thighs.

"Ermm, young master, it's quite late already, when are you going home?" Grace mumbled in a hesitant tone. A part of her heart wanted Dan to stay, but the other part made her guilty about her indecent thoughts and desire.

Dan lifted his head, his fluid motions and his hair which naturally followed his movements and the slight gleam of anticipation within his eyes pierced through Grace's heart. Dan opened his mouth and whispered a sentence that transformed into a spell that shook her core.

"Grace, Let me sleep with you, tonight..."
