Next day.

After a day's rest, Lith was back in Duram Tea Peak, spying on the members of the Senzal Clan and preparing himself to attack at any given moment's notice.

It had been a few hours since he had arrived back in Redstone City. He followed the usual route of first going into the Senzal Clan territory, spying on Vaan near the pond until he met with his aunt and cousin.

He followed this usual routine since he didn't want to risk anything even in the slightest. The matter was serious since a Rank 9 was into the play now. He couldn't afford to make mistakes.

He was a mere Rank 3 who was hoping to assassinate a Rank 9, had it been anyone else other than him, it would be nothing but wishful thinking. 

Lith also had the confidence to assassinate a Rank 9 for two main reasons. One being that he had the means to escape in case he messed up and another was that the Rank 9 in front of him was simply too vulnerable. Lith had confirmed with Lilith about this the day before yesterday when he first video called her. 

Confidence was one thing but being cautious was another. For that, he didn't attack them yet despite watching them finish their first round of doing things. He knew he had to wait until they were too absorbed into their wondery lands of fluffy warmth.

The three people he was spying on weren't weak mortals but strong mages. The wait for that one vulnerable moment to arrive was long and Lith could only just forcefully watch them. 

A few minutes passed as he watched them and Lith suddenly had a thought.

‘This feeling…'

‘Damn it! Is it not the same as continuing the video forcefully after busting one!?' 

As a single, busy, and broke college student in his previous life, adult videos were the major pillars of support for Lith. There was an instance where he continued to watch the video despite finishing his deed because the video seemed that much interesting.

This led to him discovering suffering which he had never felt before and making determination to not repeat them again. But who would've thought that this same feeling would return again today?

Lith clicked his tongue in annoyance and thought, ‘thankfully, it isn't as intense as it was before. I only feel mental suffering and no physical pain.'<sub></sub>

Lith took a deep breath. ‘You can endure it, Lith. Think of the bigger picture, think of the bigger picture. There has never been a case of someone weak killing someone six ranks above themselves. C'mon, c'mon! You can do it! Create history today!'

Lith cheered himself up and tried to ease his mental suffering of watching the three people in front do it.

While Lith was busy with his work here, somewhere a few thousand kilometres from him, a black-haired, black-eyed teen was speedily rushing towards a certain place.

This teen was none other than Lucas who was moving towards one of the major powerhouses of Redstone City, the Shadow River Sect.

‘Hurry! Hurry! Give them the tip quickly!' Lucas said to himself while running through the red colored stone paved roads of the Redstone City. 

‘System, what free boosts do I have?' Lucas called out for the system.

[Analyzing question…] 

‘This damn slow system!' Lucas cursed. He was in a rush and this damn system wouldn't even answer his queries quickly. Even the cheapest smartphones available in the market were faster than this system.

[Question analyzed. Answering host…]

[The boosts host has are: 

— ×3 10 sec charisma boosts.

— ×2 1 min mind control boosts.

— ×1 intelligence boost.<sub> pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ</sub>

— ×7 body enhancement boosts(can only be used at night, however.)

— ×1 Invisibility boost.]

‘FUCK!'

‘All of these are damn useless!' 

Lucas cursed and continued to run towards the Shadow River Sect. 

The stress of not making it in time was there on him as he ran, but now the system being slow and not being helpful was adding more onto him.

He wondered whether the system was for or against him. It did give him hefty rewards and also helped in cultivation, but the punishments for the same were too severe at times.

Lucas kept running towards the Shadow River Sect while thinking of these things. He couldn't fly as flying was prohibited here and he also didn't have any space artifacts or affinity on him to teleport directly at the gates of the sect.

After a while of running, Lucas finally arrived at the front gate of the sect.

It wasn't any extraordinary looking or magnificent gate, just a simple stone one. It depicted the simple lifestyle of the cultivators of the sect and simplicity was also the very first impression that Lucas got when he saw the stone wall fenced lawns of the sect.

Lucas walked close to the gate and was stopped by the guards. The sect did not take visitors unless they had a fixed appointment or work in the sect that they had been notified of beforehand. Otherwise anyone who wanted to visit was impolitely asked to leave.

Lucas, being the guy he was, gave out a few secret codes of the sect to the guards and asked them to relay this to the officials of the sect. The message sent by Lucas made the officials take quick action and two elders of the sect arrived at the gate.

The guards were surprised by this but not by a considerable degree. Such a thing happened on a daily basis, it wasn't anything new.<sub> ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ​ꪶ​</sub>

Lucas was escorted by the two elders to the sect's administration hall where the two Sect Masters were present. They left after Lucas was inside the hall, leaving him alone with the two.

Lucas looked at Sect Master Wan and said, "greetings, Sect Master Wan."

"Greetings, visitor." Wan said in a calm tone.

"Greetings, Sect Master Ling." Lucas greeted Wan's wife as well.

"Greetings, visitor." Ling replied in the same way as Wan.

"So as you know from the message, I have some good news for you." Lucas said to the two with a smile.

"Let's hear it. If the news benefits us, we definitely won't shy away from rewarding you." Ling said while Wan kept quiet and only gazed at Lucas.

Lucas nodded and started explaining to the two the scandalous deeds happening in their clan and also the one where the two clan heads sent their wives and daughters to Eric.

He explained to them in great detail and also gave them clues to places and people where they can confirm everything what Lucas said was true or not.

The two sect masters weren't small children, they wouldn't have bought his story had he not provided them clues. But, they still haven't believed fully and they won't be able to until they went to the clues and saw it for themselves.

Lucas's job was done after explaining to them the scandalous deeds of the two clans. He couldn't do much other than this at the present moment since time was too tight and he needed to act quickly. 

He did what he could do and left the sect shortly after. Everything was now up to fate. Fate will decide whether he'll become a good ally of the clan or not and whether he will get the benefits or not as well.

After Lucas left, Sect Master Ling looked at her husband and asked, "dear, do you think he's telling the truth?"

Wan shook his head and said softly, " I don't know. We can't tell until we go to these places and meet these people to confirm things."

Ling nodded and asked, "what if it's false information?"

Wan shrugged and said, "then it's our loss."

Ling nodded and said, "alright. We should at least try then."

Wan nodded and the couple got back to working, keeping aside the things Lucas had told them for now.

Lucas got out of the sect and made his way towards a dark valley. While on the way, a notification bell rang out in his head.

[Ding!]

[Mission [Ally] completed.]

[Reward: ×10 body stat points.]

‘Nice. An easy task. But I didn't get the Shadow River Sect benefits yet. That's the most important one.' Lucas had a thought.

[Answering Host: external rewards are not system dependent. Host has to wait.]

"Tsk." Lucas clicked his tongue in annoyance and kept walking towards a dark valley to teleport back to the academy from there.

…..

Duram Tea Peak, Redstone City.

It had been more than two hours since the three members from the Senzal Clan started doing their deeds. 

Lith had been suffering all this while but despite that, he had to be constantly on guard and be prepared to attack at any given moment's notice.

He kept waiting and waiting and didn't slack even for a moment. It was a given that he would work this hard. The mission was a risky one. Assassinating someone six ranks above wasn't a joke and being prepared and cautious was only natural.

The three had just changed positions now and were doing deeds like animals in heat. 

Judging from their blissful expressions, Lith knew that it was definitely going to be in this round.

He readied himself and was now on the edge.

At any moment…

At any moment would he need to attack now.

A few minutes passed and the intensity of the pounding had increased by several folds.

‘Any minute now…'

A few more minutes passed and…

The clan head's wife moaned:

"Ahhh~ Ahhh~ I am cu…"

‘Now!'
