"If you really want to do something for me, then-"
Ezil began to speak, but her words were interrupted by the approaching sound of horse hooves. It was evident that some members of the Warriors of the Northern Dragon Clan were making their way back.
Shortly after, the carriage of the esteemed Northern Clan Patriarch came into view, following closely behind.
The Guards opened the doors of the Mansion to allow an easy entry to the riders and the Carriage. After opening the door, the guards stepped aside.
Ezil also moved aside. Gabriel glanced behind at the approaching riders. He also moved aside to give them a path to proceed. However, as the riders saw Gabriel, they felt a chilling feeling in their heart.
They interpreted this deep-rooted fear in their hearts as Gabriel openly displaying hostility towards them. The riders gradually reduced their speed, signaling the carrier driver to do the same.
One of the rivers jumped off, landing right before Gabriel, raising his Sword to point at the young man at the entrance.
"Who are you?!" The Warrior asked. "Are you planning to hurt our Lord?!"
Gabriel shook his head. He had no interest in killing the Patriarch of the Northern Dragon Clan since that man had done nothing wrong to him.
"Down on your knees! You'll be taken into custody for interrogation! We must find out the truth about you!" The Warrior was certain that Gabriel wasn't any ordinary person. Was he an Assassin? Was he here to kill the Patriarch? His appearance at this exact time was suspicious.
"He's not a spy. He's someone I know." Ezil tried to chime in, only to be stopped by the warrior.
"Young Lady, even if he's someone you know, but this can't be ignored. He's not an ordinary man. Even I felt a chill when he looked at me. For someone like him to come here, and at a time like this, this can't be ignored."
The warrior didn't listen to her. When it came to the security of the Clan, the Warriors who always accompanied the Patriarch had all the authority in the clan that they could need.
The Second Warrior also landed on the ground. He approached the Patriarch's carriage. He opened the door.
"Why have we stopped?" The Patriarch of the Northern Dragon Clan asked.
"Just some obstruction. There's someone we suspect to be an Assassin. My Lord, please remain inside." The Warrior stated.
"An Assassin? Since when did mere assassins start thinking they could assassinate me?" The Patriarch laughed, as he comfortably took a sip from the glass of wine in his hand. "Alright, it doesn't matter. Take care of the matter. And if he resists, kill him."
After issuing his command, he closed the door and didn't even bother to step outside, as if this matter was beneath his attention.
At this moment, he was the strongest being in the Upper Realm after the Lord of Upper Realm. With the disappearance of the Generals, he could be described as the true Overlord.
Although he wasn't sure who killed the Generals, but it had all benefited him. He even thanked the killer in his heart.
As the door closed, he laughed thinking about the fate of the Four Generals.
"Those idiots must've offended someone mighty. What idiots do not even know who they should never offend." The smirk spread across his lips, as he looked down on the Generals.
"If I was in their place, I would've been much more careful. There are mountains beyond the mountains after all, especially from the Realm of Gods."
Little did he know...
****
"Did you not hear what I said?!" The First Guard asked, his voice getting louder. "Down on your knees!"
"I'm not an Assassin and I mean no harm to you. I just came here because I had made a promise. If that promise doesn't go overboard, I wanted to fulfill it before I leave this place forever. I will learn shortly," Gabriel explained.
The Warrior didn't care for his excuse. He felt embarrassed that he felt the feeling of fear when standing before a teenager, but that embarrassment also made him angry.
"I told you to get down!" The Warrior roared as he raised his right foot, kicking Gabriel's knees.
Behind his kick was a strength that could even destroy a thick concrete wall. As for human bones, they couldn't resist this kick. In essence, he had decided to break Gabriel's legs to teach him a lesson.
Unfortunately, as he kicked, his expressions distorted. He felt as if he had hit a mountain. Instead of hurting Gabriel, his own foot was hurt as his bones were crushed.
"Arghh!" He roared in pain. Anger shrouded his face as he raised his sword, swinging with all his might. He didn't even think clearly what it meant for his bones to break when he kicked Gabriel.
His Sword came straight for Gabriel's throat. But suddenly, his entire world turned dark. He didn't even know what happened. One moment, he was about to strike Gabriel, and the next, he was engulfed in a consuming darkness, completely disoriented.
It felt as though time itself had frozen, trapping him in a void of blackness. It was a nightmare for him. In a single second, he felt as if he had spent an eternity there, going crazy. It was only after his mind was completely broken that he died.
Back in the real world, everyone saw the Warrior attack Gabriel but in the next instant, a strange mist surrounded Gabriel. As soon as the man touched the mist, his body simply disappeared.
The other Warrior had just returned after briefing the patriarch when he returned, his eyes turning wide open. He saw his friend disappearing. It was no different than Gabriel openly attacking them.
The Second Warrior was confused, but had no time to think about it. He didn't move close to Gabriel like his friend but chose to attack from behind. Unfortunately, he froze as he saw Gabriel looking at him.
His shadow behind him came to life. The Guard's own shadow attacked him with the shadow of the sword. The shadow Sword penetrated the heart of Warrior from the back, making him cough blood.
