Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 55 - Assassin Ed

It was all happened in a flash of a moment. The leader of the underlings disappeared from that spot immediately. So, as his men. It took some seconds for people to notice the dead bodies.

A small cute girl holding hands with her father. Her gaze fallen on dead bodies having their eye opened wide in horror. See witness the blood from the slit throat is gushing like water.

"Ahh!" The little girl screamed in fear.

Her father heard her daughter's fearful cry. He shouted, "Lia, What happened?."

The little girl Lia pointed her tiny hands to the fallen bodies. Her father watched her action. He noticed, "Someone got killed in actual broad daylight."

On the other hand, the little girl's condition got worsened. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

Having overwhelming fear took over her. She instantly fainted on the spot. Her Father immediately took her into his embrace.

He escaped from the street. While shouting, "Murder, Murder. Someone got killed."

Having heard his fearful scream. People saw the reality. Some of the warriors in the street. Immediately called Pinewood city's law enforcement.

Soon, A team of ten people arrived from the law enforcement. They were all "SPECIAL TRAINEE" Ranked Warriors. One of the men took the lead. And start to inspect the dead body.

The remaining men split into a team of three having three people each. Started to look for the murderer. They didn't leave any nook and corner of the bustling street. People were ordered to leave. Shops are all being closed down.

Soon, the entire area become deserted.

The Man who was inspecting the dead bodies. Notices their throat got slit in one move, with his experience he can guess the name of the crime weapon. "Rapier" He commented in his heart. He was Captain of the three teams.

Meanwhile, The Masked Man was reading a magazine in the high-end apartment located at the heart of the "PINEWOOD CITY"

The Apartment was one of the main attractions of the city. It was built with famous marble. When some light is shown. The marbles reflect orange light.

When people looking at it from the outside. It exhibits dazzling beauty. Like the building was lit on fire. No one would believe it.

This actual famous building treated GRIMM Reaper of SEED candidates as one of their VVIP's.

While reading his magazine. His Sci-Fi watch notified him that he got a visitor. The Masked Man looked at his sci-fi watch. His lips curved a little.

Soon, the door opened. The Visitor is none other than the leader of the underlings. He entered the room.

Seeing the leader is coming.

"Ed, I know it's a piece of cake for you." Said, the Masked Man. He gestures to take a seat.

The Name of the leader is "Edward Foley" he belongs to Underworld Organization. Famed for training an assassin.

He wore the facial skin of a middle middle-aged in the early forties to hide his identity. Assassins never reveal their facial identity to anyone.

Even his name Edward Foley was registered as duplicate I.D. Nobody knows his real name except himself.

Edward Foley took a seat. The Masked Man said, "Here, it is your mission's reward." As he transfers 1 Million credits for eliminating Carl Zones. Using his sci-fi watch to Edward Foley's account.

Edward Foley checked his account. The amount was wired in instant. He commented in his heart, "One million Credits for killing Black Level Threat. Such, Lucrative business."

"Since, My job is done. I'm leaving. I have got New assignment from my employer." Told Edward Foley. As he was stood from, the seat to leave. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Suddenly, The Masked Man sci-fi watch buzzed. It was an encrypted message from their spy in Red Stone City. After he deciphers it.

The Masked Man starts to read the message. But suspiciousness rouse in his heart about the target's cultivation level.

He smilingly said, "It saves time". "Ed, wait!" He shouted.

Edward Foley asked, "What is it now?"

The Masked Man said, "I have received new intel. That another target of mine is here. He went to Pinewood forests."

Hearing that Edward Foley knitted his eyebrow.

The Masked Man continued, "I know it's overkill for you. Could you do it for me?"

Hearing that Edward Foley had suspicions in his heart.

He asked, "Who are you? Your organization sent you here with four capable warriors under your command."

Then he added, " At first, you ordered your men to kill Carl Zones. But Suddenly you hired me as their leader to watch over them and agreed to pay one million credit to kill Carl Zones."

A wide grin appeared on Masked Man's face as he started to listen to Ed. But none could see from outside due to his Mask. He put the Mask on his face all the time.

But soon the wide grin disappeared. His face becomes expressionless. He replied, " I have received an Intel from a credible source. Saying that one of my men is turn out to be an enemy spy, But I don't, know? Which one is it?."

He commented in his heart, "Luckily, Intel was arrived on time. Because of it, I was able to make quick decision and call them back before they find trail of Carl Jones."

Suddenly, His face becomes ruthless in thought of that. He said, "I am going to find out soon. Then I'm going torture him for fooling me."

Then he added, "I can't give any important mission to them. Until I weed out the spy; So, I am going to hire you to kill again, Do you want to do it or not?"

Hearing that a look of clarity appeared in Edward Foley's thoughts. He commented in his heart, " So, that's what it is. I too felt something vague about them. Rats are present in every organization. That's why I liked to work as Solo-Assassin."

He replied smilingly, "Well I thought. We were both users of Rapier Weapon. So, you used me as a proxy to make your organization think that you are working like hell to fulfill your targets; But As long as you will pay me. I don't mind anything."

Then Ed added, " Don't you think. It's still too much to waste time on unawakened one."

Suddenly,

Ed commented in his heart, " But to kill an unawakened target. No, he seems to be awakened recently. Otherwise, why would he venture alone into Pinewood Forest?"

Ed said, "Your intel is really lacking."

The Masked Men replied, "I also had same thought. When I read the intel."

He continued, "To venture into that first. He needed to be an awakened one; So I am going to hire you to make sure there is no variable arises. "

Meanwhile, Zack left the tree after blood cultivation and continued along his journey.

Sometimes later,

I am sure something changed internally. After I consumed white energy from the Blood of Black Tiger Pseudo Monster. I hope it would bring benefits to me.

While fighting monsters.

On the other hand, I came to the location of "WHITE STRIPPED FORESTS SPIDER". I am hoping that I won't find any other Pseudo Monster in this vicinity. As I am walking cautiously without making noise.

I feel like I'm entering the lion's den. At first, I thought two days will be enough for me. But after arriving at this forest. I can see Pseudo Monsters now and then. Roaming around the forest freely.

But I am unable to kill them openly for fear of attracting more monsters. But now it doesn't matter. I can fulfill my mission now.

As I saw an underground cave. I gasped seeing that and a smile blossomed on my face. I never thought it would be an underground cave. Then I climb down the cliff carefully.

The underground cave does not entirely go deep inside the earth. I began to follow the path. By Moving slowly I can see the Zig Zag pattern going deep.

But I'm carefully looking at the surface to find White Stripped Forests Spider. Also to look out for other Monsters.

Suddenly, I heard something moving on the small rocks. I crouched down a little. And began to look at the surroundings. Soon I saw something that I stopped to breathe for a moment.

"Red Scaled Centipede Pseudo Monster" I commented in my heart. It was not one but a Pair of Monster. Two monsters were thirty meters long. Several hundreds of its legs moving simultaneously.

I didn't want to make any noise. It's good that I read about these monsters at the library. I can safeguard myself against them without pissing them off. This cave may be home to a lot of Monsters.

But I sighed in my heart wondering "Where is my monster?". According to the description. White Stripped Forest Spider. May flee if it felt threatened.

I hope such a situation won't occur. I cannot chase and hunt it down in these hostile environments. I had doubts in my heart. Should I follow this path? Where it's getting darker and darker.

But luckily, I saw web patterns on a certain rock. Where there is a large hole inside it.. I am certain that there is something inside it.
