Assassination System

But this beauty before him stared at him with eyes full of suspicions and anger before flicking her wrist as she shouted, "Who are you?!" A shriek that resounded that of a phoenix echoed inside the carriage and the sense of imminent danger pushed Dan\'s instincts into activating Flicker, avoiding the high-temperature beam that she sent onto him by a hair\'s breadth.

His sudden disappearance startled the young beauty and she warily looked around. Three seconds later, Dan reemerged from Flicker and she sent another beam, but it was stopped, by an invisible barrier.

Dan turned around and stared at the young beauty with a critical light within his eyes. The young beauty coldly crossed her arms while Dan suffused a solemn expression before saying, "Young Miss, why must you be so rude, attacking someone that only wants to check if you\'re safe or not."

The young beauty threw a cold glare at his direction before saying, "Who knows if you\'re a friend or an enemy..." She turned around and didn\'t bother about him anymore. But Dan who received her glare realized that even though she acted serious and cold, he could see that her moistened and dilated eyes, indicated her apprehension and fear towards the sudden explosion that occurred earlier.

"Well, you\'re right about that, I\'m sorry that I suddenly came into your carriage, but we\'re just checking if you\'re alright," Dan scratched his head and apologized, the young beauty only snorted in response as the old man chimed, "Young master, her protectors are coming, it would be better for us to retreat from here else we\'ll get accused..."

Dan\'s expression flickered and he closed the door of the carriage. But before the two of them could walk away, a stern shout echoed from behind, "Where do you think you\'re going?! You terrorists!"

His shout gathered the attention of the nearby guards and they prepared their weapons, pointing them at the direction of the two. Dan\'s expression went cold before turning around.

There, the figure of a blonde-haired young man riding a horse decorated with numerous shiny ornaments could be seen approaching his vicinity. The guards around the young man emanated the energy waves of a Spirit Tempering Realm Practitioner, meaning this young man should have quite a high standing inside the Empire.

The young man didn\'t bother about Dan and the old man as he suffused a worried expression and ran towards the carriage, "My dear, Charlotte! Are you okay? Don\'t worry about everything, just leave it to me...I already caught the accomplices of that terrorist!"

When he heard that the young man called the young beauty inside the carriage as "My dear," his expression became even colder and the two turned around. But before they could walk away, a Spirit Tempering Guard prevented them as he said in a cold voice, "Freeze, you better not walk away or you\'ll be accused of terrorism and treason against the Empire..."

Both crimes that he said were punishable by capital punishment and the frosty countenance of Dan became filled with annoyance, \'I just only want to help, but look what I received...\' He sighed in his heart, staring at his old man disciple that looked as tranquil as a lake, he calmed down and thought, \'Well, I doubt that they could do anything against me when I have such a powerful bodyguard beside me.\'

"I\'m fine, Ivan, you need not cause too much ruckus of such a simple thing, " The familiar voice of the young beauty echoed inside the carriage and Ivan could be seen chattering around the latter like a broken music box.

When he realized that Dan and the old man were still standing outside the carriage, he pointed his fingers and said, "Look! I just caught the accomplices of that Assassin terrorist, I\'m giving them to you and you can do whatever you see fit."

At this time, Dan felt incredibly annoyed by the bastard\'s mouth and couldn\'t help but reply in vexation, "Giving? Just who the hell are you?"

Ivan\'s eyebrows knitted and his expression darkened, "Brat, I even gave you a chance for life, but it looks like you\'re adamant on going onto hell!" He signaled and the guards around Dan became alert.

"Enough! They didn\'t come here to harm me, in fact, they protected me from that explosion and even checked on my condition." Charlotte interrupted and said in a cold voice,

"But, My Dear, we can\'t be so sure of that, what if this just a part of their plan on getting close to you and assassinate you after doing it?"

Charlotte glanced at Ivan who looked frantic and couldn\'t help but sigh in her heart when she thought about his stupidity. Putting aside Dan\'s incredibly weak cultivation, she couldn\'t even measure the old man\'s strength that stood respectfully at Dan\'s side.

However, she knew, she understood that if Dan and the old man wanted her life, the latter could easily reap her head like harvesting wheat.

But she didn\'t tell this information to Ivan, she wanted him to learn a vital lesson in life, and that was, stop being so arrogant and self-titled, thinking that everyone in the world was lower than you. She inwardly thought.

"Stop being so arrogant, brat, what she said was true, we indeed protected her from that Suicide Bomber, and also, just who the hell are you that you\'re thinking that you have the right to accuse us, good samaritans?" When it comes to fighting an arrogant and shameless bastard, Dan knew that he had to fight fire against fire.

"How about you shut the fuck up? Don\'t you know who I am? I am a mighty member of the indisputable number one clan in this Empire! The Luzon Clan!" He crossed his arms together and said in a clear voice which resonated across the area.

"So what? Does that give you the right to stay beside her and act like her grandpa or some sort?" Dan retaliated and the young man chocked in his words, his expression flushed in anger but he still replied, "I have the right...Her father, Senior Mathias Paradyne gave me the permission to protect her from behind the scenes..."

"Haaah." Dan coldly chuckled, "Protect her? And Behind the scenes? What kind of joke are you stirring here? Most mighty young master, If we didn\'t intervene at that time, this young miss of yours would be charcoal by the time that you arrive!" Pointing his finger at him, "And what behind the scenes? Don\'t you know the meaning of keeping a low-profile? And you came staggering in here like you own the place and didn\'t care about the Emperor\'s reign!"

Dan\'s voice contained deep ridicule and annoyance, and each word that he sent made the young man\'s expression change into different resplendent colors. He thoroughly looked like a clown as he stood there with his figure slightly quivering in rage.

But when he heard the last part of Dan\'s sentence, he pointed and said, "How dare you accuse me of not respecting the Emperor! Guards, capture them for Libel!"

"Yes, young master!"

The guards unsheathed their weapons and slowly encircled Dan and the old man. Ivan\'s expression turned smug as he thought, \'Now, let\'s see how you escape from my grasp...Ever since I was born, no one dared to insult me like you did...\' His expression looked frosty and his eyes radiated his killing intent.

Charlotte who stood beside him only revealed a mysterious smile. \'The guards that Ivan had around him only had the cultivation of a Spirit Tempering Realm Practitioner, and as for that old man besides that young man whose cultivation I couldn\'t even see through...It would be a joke if they were captured.\'

Charlotte inwardly thought.

Ivan who stared intently at Dan\'s expression, waiting for his despair and helplessness frowned in confusion when he realized that the latter looked as nonchalant as ever.

When the guards approached the ten-meter mark before Dan, the old man coldly snorted as the guards that surrounded them flew in all directions, crashing towards the ground with their condition, unknown.

Ivan\'s expression twisted into shock and surprise, the old man who looked unassuming and frail transformed into a mighty general in the battlefield as he said in a domineering voice, "How long has it been since a member of the young generation dared to be this presumptuous before me..."

Everyone in the vicinity froze and their knees couldn\'t help but become weak. Gritting their teeth, they struggled under the tempest\'s raging wrath. Apart from Charlotte and Dan, everyone\'s expression turned ashen as numerous consecutive dull thuds echoed in the area.

Those who dared to stand under the tempest\'s might succumbed to its intangible pressure and kneeled down, declaring their respect towards the Divine.
