Chapter 326 - Luke’s Conspiracy 1 (1/2)

Emperor of Steel Kangchan 23440K 2022-07-24

Baron was a high-level assassin and the vice-captain of Hydra.

A few days back, he had received an order which had been issued from the higher up.

It was to infiltrate the residence of Marquis Mayers, destroy the witness and the evidences that had been gathered for the hearing against the emperor.

However, the Master, who had to carry out the order, still hadn’t made an appearance.

Baron, who had wasted a lot of time searching for him, wad forced to get into action with his own men.

“The operation will not be easy as the opponent is none other than Marquis Mayers, one of the noblemen, so prepare yourself for every possible situation…”

Gathering his men, he had given out the orders.

When the door opened wide and Henry entered.

“Master, you have come?”

All the assassins got up and bowed to the man.

Henry was a legendary assassin in the assassination world.

There was no assassin in Hydra who didn’t respect him for his skills.

“Where in the world where you? Did you take a lot of time?”

At the question from Baron, Henry shook his hands and replied with a grin, “I was on a very important mission. Rather than that, are you going to wipe out the witness along with the evidence today?”

“Yes, orders from above.”

Baron pointed to the ceiling above him with his finger.

It meant that the man giving the order was Emperor Rudolf.

“We will do what was asked of you, but we will twist the process a little,” said Henry.

“Huh? Count Voltas really said that?”

“Ahhh, I didn’t mean that we will give up the operation or ruin it. It is just that we will revise the plan and take a smoother approach.”

At the words from Henry, with a puzzled expression, Baron asked, “Master, in what way would you like to revise the plan?”

“That… It isn’t me who will decide but him.”

At the end of Henry’s words, the door opened and a young man with a platinum hair entered.

“Oh, sh*t! T-that man is…!”

All the men, who saw the young man, were shocked and stood up.

The man with the platinum hair.

He was the Marquis, Luke de Rakan, who was one of the targets of Hydra.

“Master, how is this possible?!”

“Isn’t he Marquis Luke? The one that Master should have killed?”

Despite the fierce protests from his men, Henry just remained silent.

And on Henry’s behalf, Luke approached the men and opened his mouth with a smile.

“Huhuhu. Do you all think that I am weak enough to get assassinated?”

“T-then…”

“Tch, you still can’t understand the situation? I heard that you were all amazing when it came to your skills, but I guess you are all dumb.”

When Luke sarcastically spoke to the assassins, with a dismayed look, Baron turned to Henry.

“Don’t tell me… Master, did you betray us?!”

Only then did the other men realize what had happened and tried to get their weapons out.

However, Luke’s magic was faster.
