I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1775: 24.36 Sixth Violet Star - Master of the Killer Pavilion

After the commotion made by the group of assassins that sneaked into the territory of the Long Clan, everything had been handled in the end when the two Ancient Lords made a move. The sole survivors among the humans were interrogated by the current marshal. Yes, interrogate because the assassin vowed to answer all questions the marshal wishes to ask of him.

At the underground prison, located at the depths under the main palace of the Long Clan, the assassin leader was chained but not roughly treated as he plead guilty and is willing to answer all questions the marshal plans to ask. The two of them are now facing each other with a small table in between them and sitting calmly with coffee served on the table.

The marshal, Long Tian, said, ”Have coffee. Don’t worry, we don’t do such things as poisoning prisoners. It’s easier to be beheaded instead.”

”Indeed. It’s a waste of time to keep those who are full of sins but have no reason to keep alive,” said the leader of the assassin group targeting the beast egg in Long Juedi’s position.

Long Tian said, ”You might end up becoming one of those.”

”Impossible! I already made a vow to answer your questions. As for the existence of the Killer Pavilion, that is something your nobles had agreed to be created. A way to keep an eye on your enemies and allies, that is us, the Killer Pavilion. Moreover, the Killer Pavilion’s owner is someone you currently can’t defeat. He is after all, the youngest gold ranked beastmaster who possesses the same strength as the old marshal,” the assassin said.

Marshal Long Tian knew he couldn’t use coercion to make this assassin open his mouth.

”Alright. Enough with twisted words. Who is your target for assassination this time? Is it my son, Juedi?” Long Tian asked.

His aura when he asked this question was not only heavy but also menacing. He wouldn’t allow a person that wanted to harm his youngest especially when the latter is not yet an adult.

The cup of coffee held by the assassin was placed down while the marshal was about to sip his coffee after asking this question.

”The egg, that’s our target,” The assassin answered honestly.

Splurts~

A tray was placed in front of the assassin’s face to avoid being sprayed by the coffee from the marshal’s mouth who choked when he heard the answer.

He complains, ”That’s disgusting!”

”Pardon me. That’s out of my control,” the Marshal apologized first before complaining. ”Stop saying nonsense! You are from the Killer Pavilion, an assassin and your target this time is the egg that hasn’t even hatched!? Have you gone insane?”

”Who told you I am joking? Your son’s beast egg was definitely the target tonight. I don’t know what that client is thinking or if the Pavilion Master was drunk when he accepted the mission. However, it cannot be changed by the fact that the target is a beast egg and an unhatched one!”

”Plus, the rewards are too big. Who would pay 100 million just to get an egg destroyed. It was even paid in full.”

The assassin himself was about to lose his sanity with this kind of answer but he is telling the truth. All of his nurtured subordinates were killed because of that damn egg. If not for him being the leader of the group and with most knowledge of the situation who would have been devoured by that thing from before. They actually didn’t expect such a heavenly defying existence to be living in the Long Clan’s territory. If the Pavilion Master knows this stupid mission would not be even accepted.

He even starts complaining, ”Moreover, who is that monster living in that manor? He insta-killed my subordinates! Moreover... He doesn’t feel like a human at all!”

The marshal recalled the two lords living in that detached manor, with one of them being a beast king and the other being a beastman, he immediately closed his mouth. This is a kind of secret that must be taken to his grave. He chose to ignore this questioning from the assassin.

”Ignore the ones from the manor even we can’t move them,” said the marshal, Long Tian. ”However, it would be simply ridiculous that the Killer Pavilion had accepted this kind of strange mission. What is the content of the mission? Steal the egg?”

”No. The mission is to destroy it. Fully destroyed,” said the assassin.

At this point, Marshal Long Tian felt that the situation about the egg was strange. It is impossible for others to know about the potential of the egg as only him, his father and his brother know about it. It is impossible for his father who had been hiding in the mansion pretending to be still cripple to speak with anyone about it. He most definitely didn’t say anything even his wife didn’t know about it. As for his brother, he will not sell just precious information. After all, as long as they keep it a secret, the ability to regenerate limbs will become the expertise of their clan which he would definitely love to keep for the clan as the Clan Leader.

Then there is only one possibility left if not betrayal from their side. That is someone else knew about that egg’s ability. The one who gave that egg to his son was said to have longed to leave the city. The two lords of the detached manor vouch that they would never spread the ability of the egg they had given away. Moreover, the Beast Egg detector in the Mercenary Tower can only find out the basic information about the egg and not its ability.

The Marshal, Long Tian, finally asked, ”Who is the client that hired the Killer Pavilion for this mission?”

”I was wondering when you would ask. However, it’s too late,” the assassin said.

All of a sudden a blade appeared near the neck of the Marshal. Someone suddenly appeared behind him without noticing anything. There is only one being in this world that cannot be detected by him in this world despite his strength.

”My useless subordinate, why don’t you just die? Asking his lazy lord to come over and pick you up.”

The one who had appeared is none other than the Master of the Killer Pavilion and the youngest gold-grade beastmaster, Xie Yu. No one even saw how the chains on the assassin in front of Long Tian were cut. His cuff fell to the ground with a clean cut that broke it.

”Master, what took you too long? I had sent help a few hours ago,” the assassin complained.

Killer Pavilion’s Master Xie Yu yawns as he takes back his knife after seeing that the knights didn’t even make a move when he suddenly appeared. It seems that the Marshal had already anticipated this situation. The truth is that Long Tian had been waiting for his arrival. If there is someone who can tell them the identity of the person who issued that weird mission, only this Master can answer.

Yawns~

”You cannot blame me. I am taking a nap until the messenger wakes me up to report,” said the Killer Pavilion’s Master.

The Marshal stood up from his seat and said, ”Since the Pavilion Master is here, then please come with me. My father had been waiting for your arrival.”

”I heard that Lao Long had been cured. Is this true?” Xie Yu asked.

Long Tian responded, ”Pavilion Master can see it for yourself.”

”Well, that is also true. Let’s go~” the master of the Killer Pavilion said.

—

The three of them headed to the detached manor with the marshal leading the group. Marshal Long politely knocked on the manor’s door and this place can no longer be considered his clan’s territory but someone else instead.

Knock. Knock.

Long Tian said, ”This is Long Tian together with the Master of the Killer Pavilion.”

”Enter, son!” The one who spoke from the inside is none other than the old marshal.

Upon their arrival at the detached manor and entering inside the house, Xie Yu’s languid eyes immediately widened when he saw Hunluan and An Shizhe’s figure. He immediately wanted to leave, when he spotted them. However, before he can hide in the shadows, his clothes were stomped on by the world eater looking at him with a smirk on his lips.

Ack!

The World Eater, An Shizhe had answered, ”What is this? A Shifter beast like you is pretending to be a human. Not bad. Not only do you have intelligence, you have even learned how to live as a human.”

All humans in the area including the assassin who was following behind was flabbergasted by what they had just heard. No one had expected that the Killer Pavilion’s Master was not human.

”Ah~ Lord Beast King, please save this poor one from your mate. Wuwu~” said Xie Yu.

The one that was called as Beast King was Hunluan who didn’t even give the little one a glance. An Shizhe looked interested in this thing’s real form instead and lightly kicked it.

He said, ”Come on. Let me see your real form. Aside from Beast King and above no other beast is capable of turning human. How do you do it with your strength barely enough to be considered as Gold-ranked Beast.”

”I will transform back. Please don’t step on me anymore. Boohoo~” said Xie Yu.
