The man screamed brutally.
His cry of misery and agony filled the room. He hoped that his guard might hear his voice and ran towards the room to save him but all of his hope was useless.
Alex stabbed with the dagger, hacked him and drew holes all over his body.
Blood splattered and fell on his face and he was unfazed by the scream.
He had sealed the entire room, with the noise barrier so that not a scream leaked out from the place.
"My Lord, he is already dead."
The man looked up to see a beautiful assassin appearing before him, giving him an odd look.
"Hmm!"
Giving a slight cough, to clear his throat he spoke"Haa! I know about that."
"I am doing this in the hope that when his soul flies out of his body, it will shiver to see me puncturing its body again and again."
Riya who dressed in a tight assassin suit resigned to his Lord's words
"Riya, take care of the corpse." Riya nodded and disappeared with the corpses.
Creak!
The door opened and a woman walked inside the room with a slight"Thank you Phantom Assassin."
"Haha! I am just doing the duty for which you have hired me."
"You are a free woman now, You don't have to put up with this scum anymore." Alex spoke and spat.
"Still, are you okay with it?"
"Thanks for your grace!" The woman muttered with tears of happiness.
"For all the heinous crimes he had done, it was mercy for him to die without any disgrace."
"As for me being his wife, he had many lovers outside and I am just here to maintain the appearance."
"This is all the documents and deals I have managed to secure from his safe." The woman spoke and handed the documents.
Alex took the things and skimmed through them.
Phantom assassin, Alex had been assassinating people to get out of the boredom and gain some exp.
It wasn't solely based on money, but also depended on the situation and the top most priority was the link of an unknown group.
An organisation, to which many of his enemies belong.
At first, he assumed it consists of creatures of darkness but now he wasn't sure about that as he found many small links about the group.
They were associated with Lamar to experiment and helped that idiot, Second Prince of Amidon, with magic papers which the magic towers still hadn't found a clue about.
Alex was sure that it wasn't that the people of Magic towers were useless and unable to find anything, rather there might be someone in a higher position who is stopping things.
With the small evidence, Alex found that these groups had a wide network, from those in charge of illegal auctions to slave trading, they also had mana crystal mines and hands even extended to key social figures.
Forty people on his kill list occupied important positions in Kinley.
With the deals, he was only able to find the middleman but that middleman was never able to get anything as their memories had been tampered and to make matters worse, he could not use a soul search.
"Mam, I am taking my leave"
"I hope you live well," Alex said and his figure disappeared from the windows.
.....
The sound of trumpets rang, and the whistle blew along with the songs.
The atmosphere was quite joyous and students in the third year at the academy were enjoying their last moments in the academy.
First, it would be a get-together after which there would be some battles to entertain the guests from all over Kinley would be invited.
Jeremy and Hurt walked through the crowd looking for a table to seat in the tea ceremony.
"Where the hell is Alex?" Jeremy grumbled as he was unable to find him through the crowd.
"And where is Joey?"
Hurt looked around and spoke"Look there, Joey is flirting with the girls there. After being heartbroken by Riya's refusal and the other two girls, he is trying to soothe his heart with others."
"Damn Playboy!" Jeremy spat.
"Now where is Mister Beast?"
"Just look for love-stricken ladies?"Hurt replied and narrowed his eyes.
"He is there."
"Kuak!My eyes!" Jeremy groaned closing his eyes as he looked at the place.
Girls all around the place were stealing glances at the person sitting in the chair.
Long golden hairs fell through the back. He wore a speck and emanated a scholarly and unearthly aura.
The person seemed to be standing on the epitome of elegantness.
Stars seemed to twinkle around him along with imaginary hearts.
With a book in one hand, he sipped the tea with the other. Alex's face had matured a lot during his stay in the academy.
Previously, everyone could feel the wild nature of his presence but now he looked scholarly and a refined gentleman who could kill any lady with a look.
The only flaw Alex's character had was his wild nature and his face which didn't have the mature characteristics of old wine but that was a thing of the past.
Hurt and Jeremy pulled out a seat and sat while staring at Alex who seemed to be immersed in this world.
"Give me money, I have won the bet," Jeremy spoke with a grin.
Hurt gritted his teeth and pulled out his purchase and handed him a cheque for 100 gold coins.
Alex's brows furrowed and he asked, "What is the bet for?"
"We had a bet about how long you can maintain your facade." Hurt spoke nonchalantly.
Everyone might have been mistaken by Alex's acts but he wasn't. He knew that this man behaves like a human being during the day and turns into a wild beast at night going on a journey to soothe his blood lust.
He is an absolute maniac.
"Hurt, you lost."
"He is an inborn loser," Alex spoke with a mocking smile.
A thick vein bulged on Hurt's forehead and he asked"What do you mean by that?"
"Grandpa, you are good at forgetting things."
"Just look at that place." Alex pointed his finger.
Hurt and Jeremy turned their heads to the distant place, where statues of people in the Hall Of Fame were carved out.
"Can you see the statue of my wife along with the tags under it."
They looked Riya statute and the tags
[The Youngest Person To Attain Transcendent Rank At The Age of 19]
[[The Youngest Person To Attain Legendary Rank At The Age of 20]
"That could have been you if you didn't behave like a hillaby."
