Chapter 62 - Shadow In the Dark!! (2/2)

”You know that we, the Order of Assasins must keep things like that private. We will never tell anyone about our customers.” The man said in a cold voice

”This is true. Last time you guys failed to ȧssassinate the King! You must find a way to kill him, then at that moment I will rise to power and become the new king, haha!” Elder Mars laughed evilly, he had hired these ȧssassins to kill the king but they failed. They sent their higher-ups to personally ȧssassinate the kings since he was so strong.

”No worries! We have been keeping tabs on the king. We were going to send someone to ȧssassinate him while he was in bed but he was healed all of a sudden.” The man expressed his annoyance. They failed to kill him but heavily injured him, only for him to be suddenly healed fully.

”It's that little medicine boy! Perhaps we can capture him and enslave him, turning him into our personal medicine slave!” Mars grinned and said

”Hmm, if that happens, then you'll have to give us a cut as well. We could at least trade something for such powerful medicine.” The man in black like the idea and chimed in. A lot of his people got hurt during some rough ȧssassination missions and these pills would be the key to greater success.

”All in do time, right now he is a bodyguard to the princess so we'll wait a bit.” Mars said that and the man in black started think for a moment as suspicion crept in his mind.

”Mars, I am curious about something. On the day the princess return you said she had that pill, right?” The black cloaked man asked

”Yes, she was given the pill by her newly appointed bodyguard. Why do you ask?” Mars said

”Ten of our Elite warriors went missing after persuing the princess, but she came back unharmed and you even said her bodyguards were wounded when they returned.” The cloaked man's face underneath his clock turned dark.

”It simple, I think that new bodyguard has something to do with our missing ȧssassins. I want you to question the bodyguards on what exactly happened.” The bodyguards had reported an ȧssassination attempt but they were all wounded and their power levels couldn't compete with any of the people they sent.

”Haha, you're overthinking too much. A weak medicine boy that could defeat high billion power leveled guards!? This is simply too funny, HAHAHA!” Mars laughed like never before, how could some low-level medicine kid compare?

”You must not know about the ability to suppress one's power level, he could be fronting. Make sure you get more details about the situation, I'll be taking my leave now. I've said what I wanted to say.” The man jumped out of the window and disappeared without warning.

”Tsk, He's worried about some trashy bodyguard! Well, whatever, it won't hurt to question them later.” Mars said after he was done laughing.

Back to Kayn and Athena

Kayn continued to practice with Athena throughout the days. Over the course of these days, news soon spread throughout the city and eventually all around the continent. It became a big hit with all the small families in the city and of course, the citizens as well. However, this didn't sit well at all with those young masters and even some young miss' of other families. They all had declared that they would beat Kayn and teach him a good lesson.

They were furious and really wanted to rush to the Pheonix Palace to find and cripple Kayn, some even came but were turned away by the guards. During this time, Kayn was training with Athena, she had beaten the white Crystal puppet at this time. Many disciples and members of the Pheonix clan wanted to find trouble with Kayn but he would simply teleport to the princesses room and drop her off then he would teleport to his room afterward. Kayn teleported allot and avoided many troublesome encounters from them but it would only work for so long before they caught him slipping.

Athena, on the other hand, was angry to find that someone had spread such a rumor, they were clearly making trouble for Kayn but she didn't know who it was. However, their training continued, he wanted to pit her against the blue puppet this time, this puppet was much smarter and stronger than the white puppet. The puppet looked the same as its counterpart but was blue and had sapphires for eyes.

This puppet mainly used Kamehameha, Bigbang, instant transmission, and galactic donut for its move set. Athena was learning every time she fought and started to utilize Ki base attacks more often, at this point she had expanded her ki pool, so she could use much more of it, this was also because her Ki control increased allot. At this time a month and a half passed just like that, she was finally able to catch and defeat the blue puppet.

The strategy of this puppet was quite annoying just from the move set it had alone. It liked to utilize Galactic donut the most to catch her. Kayn put the puppet away with a smile on his face, he honestly didn't expect her to beat it so soon. The next time he would have her fight the red puppet which liked to utilize speed and close combat the most, it should give her run for her money.

”Goodness, it about time I beat that annoying thing! That ring attack was pissing me off the most!” She couldn't help but feel excited inside, this training was actually working. Athena's power level was now 490 million, she grew quite allot during this time.

”Haha, seeing you run like a rat was the best scene anyone could ask for!” Kayn laughed and ridiculed, she ran all over the ring to escape the barrage of Galactic donut rings launched at her. She often got caught by them since there were so many of them and was eliminated swiftly. The blue puppet had high Ki control and could control a lot of Galactic donut rings.

”Jerk, you like to see people in misery, Hmph!” Athena glared at Kayn, she already knew he was enjoying the show without him even having to say it. He would often jeer at her misery from the side or warn her after she was sneak attacked and would laugh when she got caught.

”Ah, relax, you won right? Let's end today's training session and get something to eat, I'm starving.” Kayn really liked the food on this planet, it was just as good as earth's food but earth was slightly ahead in this field.

”Yeah, I am hungry myself, let's go.” Athena nodded in agreement, she was running and flying around like a madwoman so she was quite hungry herself. They both were about to teleport away but at that moment, her door was push opened and multiple figures walked in.
