A vexed Ivan stared at his father with a wronged expression on his face, "Father, no matter what happens, we must get our revenge!" Hearing his words, Zacarias turned towards the former with a helpless expression on his face, "I was planning on compensating them earlier but you're the one who held us back, just what is going on with you?"


Because of the angle, Zacarias didn't see the Profound Imagery Stone and he became suspicious about his sudden change of heart. turning towards his daughter, he found that she also had the same flushed expression.


Ivan repeatedly coughed in an effort to diffuse the strange atmosphere, "Father, let's just stop talking about that bastard, It's about time for lunch, how about we have something to eat first? I'm sure, Elder Sis here is also quite hungry..." Zacarias became indifferent, not replying to his son's question. He started walking towards the direction of the dining room.


Looking at the disappearing figure of Zacarias, Sophia's eyes swept over at Ivan as she spoke, "What are we going to do now? It seems like that trash actually got a hold of what we did last night!" Her expression turned venomous as she pointed at him.


"Shut up, Bitch! Can't you see that I'm thinking about it? If not for you being so fucking horny, we wouldn't be caught!" Ivan's expression flushed, his eyes full of anger and shame when he remembered Dan who cheekily presented them with that Profound Imagery Stone.


"Now it's my fault?! Aren't you the one who led me there?!" Sophia's expression became bedraggled, Ivan whom she scolded became irritated with her actions as he turned around and said, "I'll look into this myself since I bet you will not going to help anyway..." He coldly snorted and walked away from the residence.


Sophia who was left behind, tightly clenched her fists, 'If not for the fact that you're still useful to me, I, the rightful daughter of father wouldn't even do this with you...' Her eyes flashed in an icy cold light before heading to the direction of the living room.


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


Arriving inside the warehouse, Dan searched for the items that he needed, several minutes later, he came out with a crossbow and a quiver filled with six bolts. Placing it inside his Virtual Storage, Dan walked out, his expression devoid of impatience as he calmly strode along the hallway.


The servants greeted him with respectful smiles as he continued on his way towards the Forest of Seclusion. Upon entering the Forest of Seclusion, Dan noticed something odd. He turned his shoulders to the right and used his peripheral vision to scan, but when he found nothing, he went on while inwardly mumbling.


Dan walked at a constant pace towards the deeper parts of the Forest, however, he didn't hunt for any beasts, instead, he analyzed the plants around him. Plucking a four-leaf clover whose leaves had black and white strips on it, He curiously stared at it before asking the System to analyze.


[Name: Zebra Clover]


[Effect: Nothing in particular]


[Hidden Effect: Nah, nothing...]


Throwing the clover, the feeling of imminent danger rose within his heart as he swiftly leaped towards the side, followed by an explosion that occurred at his initial location.


Bang!


Taking advantage of the dust that sprung in the air, Dan took his crossbow from the Virtual Storage and ducked, scanning the area for the enemies' location. Visually confirming that there was no one before him, Dan had no choice but to ask for the System's help.


"System, locate the enemies' location along with their weaknesses!"


[System Function Initiating; 35%]


[System Function Completed! Results: Two enemies at twelve o'clock, one at six!]


'Shit! a pincer attack?!' His mind crazily spun before his body moved, striking a nearby tree trunk with his feet, he used it as a leverage to evade the incoming attacks of the three.


Clang!


Clashing sounds of metal striking against each other resonated, Dan scoped in with his crossbow, pointed it at the enemy at his six before pulling the trigger.


Pew!


The arrow flew, but the figure easily avoided it with a sidestep. Witnessing their ghost-like movements, Dan gritted his teeth, took a small jade bottle filled with a viscous liquid from his Virtual Storage and quickly applied it at the tip of the arrows, all the while evading the constant attacks of the two Assassins.


Blood continuously dripped from the injuries that dotted his body. However, his eyes still shone in a light of stubbornness and determination, which astounded the three Assassins. For they knew that if the bastard was a trash, by this time, he would be kneeling down on the ground, begging for respite.


Gripping their daggers. The three of them resolved to finish this job faster so that they could return earlier. With a whoosh, their figures formed a triangle formation, thoroughly sealing Dan's escape route.


Dan stood still. But inside his mind, the simulation of the system rapidly spun while his mind also moved faster than ever under this crushing pressure of death. Within the next second, Dan decided his next course of actions as he leaped sideward and backward, evading the attacks of the two assassins in front.


Twisting his body in mid-air, he greeted the dagger of the remaining assassin all the while holding a crossbow with his right hand. the Assassin's expression flickered, just from the trajectory of his attack alone, if the young man got hit, he would surely die without any doubt, yet he's not doing anything to dodge!


Wait...That's wrong...


This bastard is aiming for...


Mutual Destruction!


His eyes widened in shock as Dan slightly retracted his left shoulder to avoid a clean hit on his heart. Meanwhile, his crossbow bolt laced with poison plunged deep within the Assassin's jugular as fresh blood scattered, staining the ground in a scarlet hue.


Puchi!


The Assassin's dagger descended on his left chest, burying deep as a sharp pain coursed through his nerves. Gritting his teeth, Dan prevented himself from screaming, yet his throat emanated a deep growl akin to that of an enraged beast. Fresh blood trickled down his chest, soiling his pure white robe in a crimson sheen. Paired with his ferocious expression, he thoroughly looked savage and barbaric.


The two Assassin's gulped a mouthful of saliva, their actions didn't go unnoticed by Dan who crazily chuckled, "You bastards must've come from the Batian Clan, right?!" His words resonated in the air as the two jolted for a moment before speaking in a hoarse voice, "We're not from the Batian Clan. We came from the Night Ranger's Association, and since someone paid us to take your life, we will surely do it at all cost."


"Really?" Staring at the man's nonsensical attempt on hiding his blunder, Dan continued chuckling as he said, "You don't need to fool me anymore like I'm a child, your fast heart rate, and your trembling hand as you hold that dagger is the best evidence that you're not a cold-blooded Assassin! If you're trying to fool someone, then you better not try it on me!"


Dan clutched the dagger lodged on his left chest as he slowly took it, the faint sound of flesh being ripped, echoed clearly inside the silenced atmosphere, Dan's display of ferocity and stubbornness made the hearts of the two Assassin's tremble in fear.
