Assassination System

"Patriarch,, is this really the end of the Luzon Clan?" Jamie whispered, his voice bleak and his expression indescribable.

The Luzon Clan reigned for several generations, their foundations were reinforced and they stood tall among everyone else.

However, it took only one man to bring them down.

With a single command from Mathias, their clan vanished in mere hours and they even have to abandon the establishments, connections and resources that they established in their reign.

It was understandable that each and everyone of them were indignant, yet remembering the space-shattering might that Mathias displayed, they threw away all thoughts of rebellion.

The most affected of them a was the Patriarch, Warren Luzon. Currently, his expression looked dark and pale.

Destroying his own cultivation injured his mortal body and if not for the support of Heavenly materials that sustained his old life, he would've probably turned into a pile of bones.

The Elders around him looked the same, they never expected even in their wildest dreams that something like what happened today would occur.

From the top, they completely fell into the bottom and with no possible way of rising back again.

Patriarch Warren turned to the supposed to be star of the day and said. "Jamie, my boy. You do know about how much we contributed to the Empire. The Emperor won't abandon us like this..."

"What do you mean, Patriarch?" Jamie asked in confusion and slight expectation.

"Even though Mathias' pardoned us from being annihilated to give the Emperor some face, that doesn't mean that he would let us go."

"Right now, the people of that bastard must pursuing us..."

His words sent the five hundred or so clan members of the Luzon Clan in a panic, with such a large entourage, tracking them down was easy.

"Calm down, calm down. Remember what I said earlier about the Emperor? Yes, that's right. I'm sure his Majesty also sent experts to protect us."

His words silenced the crowd and everyone heaves sighs of relief including Jamie.

"Also, don't forget that we have dozens of Heaven Grade Artifacts that the juniors can use."

Every Elder of the clan had their cultivation crippled so it was impossible for them to produce any Spiritual Qi.

But it was different for Jamie and the other three hundred or so youngsters of the clan.

Jamie's expression brightened as he thought.

"With the support of such powerful Artifacts, let's see who dares to provoke us!"

Dan and Natalie stood at a distance of several kilometers away from the Luzon Clan entourage.

Their expressions solemn as they sat beside each other on a tree branch.

"Natalie, how do you think should we approach them?" Dan asked in a curious voice.

If he chose between Grace and Natalie when it comes to mind games. He would choose Grace without doubt.

But that doesn't mean that Natalie couldn't think on some brilliant strategies on her own, and Dan knew that when it comes to battle, she's more cunning than him.

Dan was the reckless, yet cautious type, while Natalie preferred methods that were straightforward, but infallible.

"Let's see, from Senior and the Emperor's conversation earlier, it seems like the two of them are bitter to each other."

"And since the Mathias destroyed one of the Emperor's loyal subjects and exiled them to a faraway land, the Emperor is sure to be indignant."

"Unfortunately, the most that he can do is to cover the Luzon Clan's retreat since I don't think that the Emperor would be so naive to think that Mathias won't send pursuers after them."

"Putting this into mind, we should be careful on approaching the Luzon Clan, since the experts that the Emperor sent should be lurking to protect them."

Natalie turned to look at Dan and the latter nodded his head in joy and praise.

"Mhmm! Mhmm! You're indeed my wife..." Dan affectionately rubbed her head and domesticated her with his patting techniques.

After a round of headpats, Dan looked at her with a cheeky smile and said.

"What else do you think should we be careful of when pursuing them?" Dan knew the answers to his question, but he opted to ask Natalie for her opinion.

Natalie felt overjoyed that her husband wanted to listen for her opinion. Arranging her ruffled hair, she said with a slight smile.

"Let's see, the Luzon Clan is quite strong and they possess numerous despicable means to protect themselves. They are ruthless, yet at the same time they are cowards." Her expression became filled with frosty disdain.

"I bet that those bastards have dozens of Earth or even Heaven Grade Artifacts for fear of their death."

Dan was taken aback, it was the first time that he heard his wife cursing, and her words weren't light, either.

Lips twitching, Dan asked: "Then, dear. How do you think should we approach them? With experts from the Empire protecting them from behind and dozens of Heaven Grade Artifacts in their stash. What do you think should we do."

His words made a slight smile leak on Natalie's lips. Cold air swept past their bodies and Dan could feel the surging killing intent from the former's eyes.

The image of a gentle and thoughtful wife disappeared. Replaced by a viciousness that resembled beasts.

Negative energies surged around Natalie as she spoke: "About that dear, I have the best course of actions that we can do..."

Her bewitching and excited voice sent shivers down Dan's spine, he didn't expect that Natalie had such a side or perhaps, she's under the influence of something sinister?

Dan thought in his mind and scanned her body using the System.
