Assassination System

After sending Juliet off towards the Outer Sect Disciples Region. Natalie, Grace, and Dan gathered together inside an inn. The two women carried numerous supplies and some powders as Dan asked in confusion.

"What are you gonna do with those powders?"

The powders looked colorful under lights but under the system's inspections. They didn't possess any remarkable properties and were treated as beautification products. Their mission this time was to kill, not to entice enemies with their beauty.

Grace patiently explained, "Well, you see. Sister Natalie is an honorary disciple and such title gave her a reputation that even mortals may recognize her if she casually walks on the street, so to prevent that from happening and spoiling our plans, I'll change some features of her face..."

Grace took a white powder and a brown powder before mixing them with water in separate bowls. Twirling them with her fingers, she added the mixture on Natalie's face.

"How about you, Grace? Though you can change your features, that silver-hair of yours stands out more than your face..." Dan commented and indeed, such feature was rare or even nearly extinct among the mortals.

"It's fine, I have this powder to help me..." Grace shrugged and presented to him a pouch filled with a jet-black powder that thickened like flour when mixed with a small amount of water. Taking a bunch of cotton balls from another pouch, Grace drenched them on the brownish mixture and diluted the color using water so that it would resemble skin.

Applying it on Natalie's face, she managed to change her jawline and now Natalie looked completely different from before. Though she's still a beauty, it couldn't compare to what she was previously. Glancing at Grace, Dan couldn't help but praise her in his heart.

"Grace, when did you learn such techniques?" Dan asked in curiosity, such finesse and expertise couldn't possibly be learned in a matter of several years. Grace may have known this technique ever since she was five.

"Well, I learned this technique to prevent myself from getting abducted by slave hunters, they frequently targeted beautiful women so I had to change my face into an ugly one and dye my hair black using this charcoal mixture..."

Grace casually said these words, but it made Dan wryly smile, it was pretty disheartening to think about the suffering that she suffered throughout her childhood days. Changing topics, Dan said, "So, Natalie, mind telling me more about this little plan of yours?"

Natalie turned towards him while changing her features as her mouth opened and explained the intricacies of their plans. Several hours later, three figures walked out of the inn and headed for the direction of the Mercenary Pavilion.

One of the figures who looked like a gentle old man holding a walking stick walked towards a nearby stable and fetched horses prepared beforehand along with a carriage embroidered with numerous expensive decorations.

Dragging it towards the Mercenary Pavilion, the old man leaked a small smile as he slapped the horses before him and rode towards his destination.

Back at the Mercenary Pavilion, The appearance of the two beauties caused quite a ruckus among the mercenaries, seeing that they were about to enter the pavilion and saw the coin pouches that they carried. The mercenaries understood that the two women were here for the escort service.

Arriving at the receptionist desk, one of the women said,

"Can I employ three of your strongest and most efficient employees?" Her voice sounded mellow and pleasing to the ears.

The female attendant revealed a polite smile and replied, "Sure, just fill up this form so that we can assess how much will the escort fee cost..." She handed over a bunch of papers to Natalie and the two of them filled it up before handing it back.

"I have received the necessary documents and upon review, it looks like the escort fee would amount to about five thousand gold coins, we only accept gold coins so if you only have Spirit Stones, please convert it beforehand..."

"It's fine, we have gold coins..." Natalie handed three bags of heavy-looking pouches that clanged upon striking the wooden desk of the reception. The female attendant received the money and checked it.

"I have received the right amount, no less or more, as for your escort request. Unfortunately, our Mercenary Pavilion doesn't measure strength based by cultivation base or techniques but by the success rate. Currently, we have these three men with the highest success rate, will they suffice?" The female attendant shattered a Profound Imagery Stone, revealing the images of three men which raised the corners of Natalie's lips.

"They will suffice..." She replied with a smiling face and all formalities were finished as the two of them exited the Pavilion. Now, it was time to wait for the arrival of the three that would escort them to the Desert Wilderness Bazaar.

Inside a luxurious suite, the three brothers, Stanley, Finley, and Malachi could be seen seated with women on their laps. Their labored breathing and rhythmical movements indicated something weird.

"The three of you! Someone is requesting an urgent job! They already paid so hurry up and come out!" A middle-aged man's deep voice echoed behind the door of the suite. Stanley clicked his tongue, he hated being interrupted the most.

"Boss! Can you at least delay that for half an hour? You do know that we don't like being interrupted..." Finley complained and the middle-aged man behind the doors retorted.

"Are you sure that the three of you want to postpone this job? I feel pity about the two beauties and since their job is urgent, they may find other mercenaries to work with..."

"What did you say?!" Malachi who remained silent all this while shot out like an arrow and stood stiff like struck by lightning, with eyes flashing in a solemn light. His two brothers nodded their heads and they shoved the women on their lap to the side and wore the most decent clothes that they could find.

Their boss' taste when it comes to women were topnotch and hearing him say something about beauties meant that the women struck a chord within the former's heart. Such fine women, how could they resist?

"Hey, look! Isn't that the Infernal Brothers?" The idling mercenaries noticed the arrival of newcomers from the inner regions of the Pavilion, with shining lights of admiration in their eyes, they endlessly praised the three which remained indifferent.

"Damn, even with this shower of praises bestowed upon them, the fact that they could remain so calm means that their self-control is out of this world..."

"If I could ever hook up with one of them I would be so glad I could die..."

"Shut up, old hag, as if they would even glance at you..."

The mercenaries fervently discussed the three brothers and traced them with their eyes. As soon as the three stepped out of the pavilion, the mercenaries saw the two women and an old man standing near a carriage staring at the three.

"So the women employed those three? What a good choice, with those three escorting them, there's no way that they'd fail to reach their destination..."

"If I could replace the three I would gladly do so, who doesn't want to hook up with those two gorgeous beauties..."

The mercenaries exploded into a clamor and Malachi revealed a confident smile upon hearing their words, approaching the luxurious carriage where the two beauties stood, Malachi, scoured them with his eyes and approved them in his heart.

"Goddamned it, they're topnotch beauties, bro...What should we do? Are we going to do the usual?" Stanley's eyes shone in a light of restrained lust, Finley walked near the carriage and inspected the contents.

"They're carrying deep-sea gold and sunken silver with them along with several ancient antiques! We definitely have to do the usual, bro! If we succeeded, we can stop being mercenaries and live our lives as we please!"

Malachi's breathing hastened, the value of sunken silver and deep-sea gold was enough to tempt him. But if you pair it with beauties, how could he possibly resist such temptations? Clicking his tongue, Malachi assumed his best attitude and said.

"The three of us will be your mercenaries escort for this job, My name is Malachi and I'm the team leader of the Infernal Brothers..." Malachi stretched his hand out towards Natalie's direction.

Natalie blossomed with a smile which captivated the three brothers before stretching her jade-like hand and shaking it with him.

"My name is Natalie Jagmond, I have my sister and grandfather with me, we will be going to the Desert Wilderness Bazaar to sell some of our valuables, and since we heard of your group's reputation we played it safe and hired the three of you so we could safely arrive in our destination..."

"That's not a problem, Miss, with us Infernal Brothers, there's no bandit group that would possibly offend your caravan," Malachi reassured with a smile and Natalie clapped her hands together in delight. Her fluid and graceful movements captured the attention of the three as Grace chimed in.

"Brothers, I'm curious, why is it that the three of you are called Infernal Brothers?" Her voice that contained an innocent charm made their heads turn as Stanley swiftly arrived before her and explained.

"Well, it's because of the fact that we're the strongest when it comes to the Laws of Fire. Our comprehension is balanced so we can combine our power together and even overwhelm a Peak Divine Soul Cultivator!" Stanley opened his palm and a bouquet made of fire manifested inside his hands.

Grace received it with a sweet smile, her eyes hinted something that Stanley received. The burning lust inside his body surged and he couldn't help but throw his two brothers a glance saying, "I already have this woman in my hands, both of you go and seduce the other."

Malachi and Finley nodded their heads.

"Young man, why is it that the moment that you arrived, you instantly ignored my presence and went for my granddaughters?" Dan's cold voice echoed at the side and the three brothers turned around and revealed awkward expressions on their faces.

"Oh, Grandpa, I'm sorry about tha-"

"Don't call me Grandpa! I don't have such a lecherous grandson like you!" Dan fiercely retorted before coldly snorting and heading for the coachman's seat.

"We're in a rush so we'll be going now, Grace! Natalie! Come inside!" Dan shouted and the two women trembled before sighing. The three brothers sent a discreet glare at Dan's direction before their gazes swept over the two women.

"Big brothers, we will be going with grandpa now, you see, he's quite old and is crass-tempered, I hope that you can understand him..." Grace bowed her head in apologies and Stanley waved his hands, "No, that's not a problem! As employed mercenaries, it is our job to understand the attitude of our customers..."

Hearing his words, the two women stared at them for a moment with hesitation in their eyes before turning around and heading inside the carriage where Dan was located.

"Finley, Stanley, what do you think should we do?" Malachi consulted the two and they thought for a moment before replying, "We should definitely usual thing that we do, compared to riches, women are everywhere and with money, I could easily buy a harem for myself..."

"I see, then we will do the usual, but remember, that woman, Natalie is mine, though I don't really mind it as long as I'm the first to enter her..." Malachi shrugged and Finley who didn't have his own target revealed gratified look.

Amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd, the caravan set off for the Great Wilderness of Torb.
