"Does it matter when we attack? What matters is that we won't allow you to pass until you hand them over," Conrad replied."Well, I'm sorry, but you see, I've been commissioned to protect this lady and her brother. As a mercenary, I can't break an agreement," Samuel replied calmly."Shut up! You think we're clueless? I've investigated you. You're Samuel, the most powerful ability user from the Main World!"A brief silence followed.Samuel chuckled."I can see you've done quite a bit of investigating," he commented."Yes, I did. You left clues behind. I guess you don't even care about hiding it. Quite bold of you. I don't think you understand how deep the waters run here." Conrad smirked."Do I not? Maybe. But I do know that I'm very tall. Perhaps even taller than the waters," Samuel replied."Ha! Hahaha! Good. Attack!"The moment the order was given, Conrad's men began advancing. Their movements were cautious as they assessed the strength of Samuel's group while steadily closing the d

"Yes. They promised me two million five hundred thousand, the Thousand Year Fire Seed, and even a chance to become a future Duke in Nymera if I wanted to, all just to hand you over," he replied."Woah! They promised you all that, and you still refused?" Raven exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock."Are you suggesting I should have accepted?" Samuel asked. "I'm sorry I failed your expectations. I'll go back and accept it."He turned around.Raven instantly blurred forward and grabbed his arm."No, please, sir... I mean, Samuel. I misspoke just now. I didn't mean that..."A sudden chill crawled down her spine.She froze and slowly looked back, only to find Nina staring at her with eyes sharp enough to cut flesh.Raven immediately released Samuel's hand."We'll follow the main route. Hopefully, we can handle them." Samuel sighed."Yes, I believe we can. Black Veil won't possibly send all their experts just because of this. They have many other high-paying clients besides my uncle," Raven

Samuel didn't show any expression.An awkward silence hung over the table before the ordinary-looking man coughed lightly."I already introduced him," he said."So?" Samuel raised an eyebrow.The burly man lifted a hand. "I'll take it from here."He fixed his gaze on Samuel."You don't look surprised after hearing my identity," he said."I don't even know what the Black Veil is to begin with." Samuel shrugged.The two men stared at him incredulously. Then they exchanged glances and burst into laughter."Kid, you're funny. I'll give you that." The Night Owl chuckled."I don't see what's funny here, to be frank. You're just disgracing yourself." Samuel's voice remained completely serious.The laughter died instantly.A brief silence followed."So, you truly haven't heard of the Black Veil? One of the biggest assassin organizations on the Divine Beast Continent?" Conrad frowned."Oh, you're not even the biggest? I was starting to worry."Conrad's eye twitched."That... that's not even th

"Yes. He's the prince of Nymera," Raven replied."I see. So what are you both doing outside Nymera?""We went to pick him up from a distant village. He's actually the child of one of the King's affairs with a maid," Raven said with a light blush.After all, she herself had been born from an affair."Let's get down the mountain first and find another place to camp. We've been traveling for days now," Samuel suggested.The group descended the mountain and took the southern road.Along the way, Samuel carefully concealed their tracks and created the illusion that they had traveled in a different direction. As they continued their journey, they asked Raven a few more questions before eventually setting up camp beside a river.Samuel had brought plenty of tents, enough for everyone to sleep comfortably. However, he deliberately ensured there was a shortage of one so he could share a tent with Nina."Kael, you'll stay on guard. You can switch with Mia whenever you want to rest," Samuel inst

"She's definitely lying. Sir, it's better if you do this the way I suggested to avoid us clashing with each other," Freya said, her voice slightly shaky.She wasn't confident about a confrontation.The four had deliberately revealed their strength so she could feel the pressure they radiated. She had also realized that the cute fox was a Level Two High Beast, while none of them had reached Level Two of the Nascent Realm or the Archmagus Realm."Don't tell me what to do. Besides, I'm just curious. You can be patient and wait for me to finish," he said seriously.Freya clenched her teeth and fell silent.Raven immediately continued."I swear on my life, sir. I might not be able to give you anything else, but this thousand-year fire seed was found by me personally. I didn't even show it to my father. I hid it away somewhere safe.""Oh, so it's not here with you." The young man sounded disappointed."It's in Nymera, sir. You can follow me. I'm the princess of Nymera, and he..." She pointe

She leaped backward, still clutching Jason tightly in one arm.The pain spread from the wound with terrifying speed, racing through the rest of her body like liquid fire flowing through her veins.Figures emerged from behind nearby rocks.Others stepped out from hidden crevices.One after another, armed men revealed themselves from every direction.They had been waiting.They had never left.Despite the agony coursing through her body, Raven remained calm.Her gaze slowly swept across the ambushers before finally settling on Freya.Freya still held the bloodstained knife.A faint glow radiated from the blade.It was clearly a high-grade weapon, one capable of bypassing her defenses with ease.And the poison coating it was even more terrifying.A single shallow slash had already left her body burning with unbearable pain.For a moment, the mountain seemed to fall silent."Sister... why?" Raven asked, staring at her in disbelief as her grip around Jason tightened.The boy looked even mo
