Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The matter of the assassins had come to an end. The only benefit was that Ron and Serena, who had just separated, could be together again. When night came, they went to the underground chamber to interrogate the assassin who had been brought back. Unfortunately, no matter what methods they used, the assassin did not say a word, even when confronted with death. But Ron and the others dared not really kill the assassin. Since they could not get anything out of him, they stopped asking. They would wait till the people from the Sky Blue Magic Academy came and leave him to them.

The next day, City Lord Lein returned in a hurry. He had returned so quickly for a reason, and it was actually related to the assassins. He even heard that the top students of the Sky Blue Magic Academy had been attacked. Afraid that something would happen to them again, he returned immediately. Upon returning, he sent someone immediately to get the Nicholas family and the Campbell family over for a discussion.

Norton and the rest knew that the City Lord had returned, and they immediately went over. It was not just the two family heads but also Ron and Klein; Ron, because he had killed those few assassins who were arrogant and tyrannical, and Klein, because he represented the Sky Blue Magic Academy.

When everyone arrived at the City Lord Residence and saw City Lord Lein, they realized that he looked a little tired. It seemed like he had encountered a lot of things in the past few days. After exchanging pleasantries, City Lord Lein said, “I heard that you have captured one of them alive?”

Norton nodded and said, “That’s right, my grandson, Ron, had caught him. He’s still locked in our family’s underground chamber.”

City Lord Lein glanced at Ron and gave him an approving look. Then he said, “Did you manage to interrogate anything out of him?”

Norton shook his head and said, “That’s right. He was obviously trained or something. He didn’t say a word during our interrogation. There was nothing we could do.”

City Lord Lien said, “In that case, if it really doesn’t work, you can send him to the City Lord Residence. I still have some methods, and I might be able to get something out of him. If this still doesn’t work, then we’ll just have to wait for the people from the Sky Blue Magic Academy to arrive before handing him over to them.”

“Certainly not a problem,” Norton said, nodding immediately. He also did not want to leave this trouble at home.

City Lord Lein thought for a moment and said after a slight hesitation, “Actually, I have some guesses about the background of these few assassins.”

“Ah? City Lord, do you already know the background of this assassin?” Everyone said in shock upon hearing this.

City Lord Lien said, “Actually, I went out this time to Wind Snow City. A group of brutal assassins had appeared there, and they had even annihilated the number one family clan in Wind Snow City, the Claude family clan.”

“What? The Claudia family clan? Annihilated? How is this possible?” Everyone was shocked when they heard Lien’s words, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

Their reaction was understandable. Wind Snow City was the largest city in their area, four or five times larger than Winterfrost. And the number one family clan in Wind Snow City, the Claude family clan, was very powerful. Their family clan even had a Great Archmage in command. Even the City Lord of Wind Snow City had to act according to the wishes of their family clan. They were simply an existence akin to a local emperor. No family clan in the vicinity could compare with them. But now, they had actually been annihilated overnight? This was something which they dared not even imagine.

“Who exterminated them and why?” Norton asked after everyone had digested the news.

Lein said, “I don’t know either. When I heard the news, I immediately went over. Apart from the bodies of the Claude clansmen, there was not a single body of the assassins. However, from some clues and the way the group of assassins conducted themselves, they should be from the Hell Fire Organization.”

“What? Hell Fire?”

After everyone had heard Lein’s story, they were instantly shocked again. This piece of news shocked them even more than the first piece of news they had heard. They became even afraid because this Hell Fire Organization was a notorious assassin organization. No matter who it was, as long as they had provoked this organization, their final outcome would definitely not be good. It was rumored that they had already existed for several hundred years. Five or six hundred years ago, there were a few righteous organizations who had joined hands in an attempt to uproot this assassin organization. However, in the end, both sides suffered injuries. They were not able to eliminate this organization. After so many years of development, they had become a huge organization again.

The Nicholas family clan, the Campbell family clan, and even City Lord Lein were all like ants before this organization. It was fine if they were not targeted by the other party, but once they were targeted, things would definitely not be good.

After hearing this name, the person who was most shocked and indignant was Klein. This was because he was a student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, and the Sky Blue Magic Academy had a deep hatred for the Hell Fire Organization.

The Hell Fire Organization had grudges with many orthodox organizations, and the grudge between their Sky Blue Magic Academy and the Hell Fire Organization could be said to be the deepest. In the past hundred years, whenever the two sides encountered each other, the outcome would be irreconcilable, and they would fight each other to the death. The Sky Blue Magic Academy had even been investigating the Hell Fire Organization and had offered various bounties. The moment they knew of the other party’s stronghold, they would send someone immediately to kill them.

The cause of this enmity was actually very simple. The Hell Fire Organization had killed a few talented students from their Sky Blue Magic Academy who were out for their training. There was even a teacher in charge, a level-7 Great Archmage, who died at the hands of the other party. More importantly, that level-7 Great Archmage was the wife of the academy’s dean at that time. All those talented students also had prominent backgrounds. This had provoked the entire Sky Blue Magic Academy, and they swore that no matter what, they would find the killers. Then, they continued to investigate the matter for 20-30 years before discovering that it was actually the work of the Hell Fire Organization.

Upon knowing the identity of the killers, the dean of the Sky Blue Magic Academy then personally intervened and annihilated two subdivisions of the Hell Fire Organization. The leaders of the subdivisions were two level-7 Great Archmagi. They also died in the hands of the dean.

From then on, these two enormous powers became mortal enemies. Whenever the two parties encountered each other, they would fight with their lives on the line. Originally, the strength of the Hell Fire Organization could not match up with the Sky Blue Magic Academy. However, the Hell Fire Organization was a specialized assassin organization. Until now, no one knew where the headquarters of their organization was. Even finding one of their subdivisions was extremely difficult.. This made it very difficult for the Sky Blue Magic Academy to find the Hell Fire Organization.
