Chapter 86 - Good News and Bad News (1/2)
”Bring his head to me!” The leading demi human spoke in their native language with a chilly voice. His subordinates nodded their heads before they disappeared from the room.
He walked towards the dead demi human and glanced at the slightly messy room. 'The room was only slightly messy, signifying that there was not even much of a fight. ' He then glanced back at his dead subordinate with a detached expression behind his mask. 'This guy died with only one attack and he did not even feel the presence of the assassin. Is there really such a strong assassin here in this world? And what kind of group can train this kind of man?' He glanced outside the window and saw the smoke outside which had not yet ceased.

Zero felt several presence following behind him and there were even some who were at the peak stage of Emperor-Class level. 'Shit! How come the Marchand Family is colluding with this alien group?!'

”Booooom!”
”Boooom!”
Several loud explosions resounded behind Zero as he sped up his escape. After the bombs detonated, he heaved a sigh of relief after sensing that no one was tailing him now.
'Marchand Family, you have betrayed humanity, but for what reasons?' Zero's silhouette vanished from the scene and the demi humans were not able to track him anymore. They all went back to the Marchand Family estate with solemn expression which were hidden behind their masks.

”Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!”
Cale looked confused about the sudden call, but he then smiled after seeing that it was Zero. 'He must have accomplished the mission already. As expected of Gallantos' top mercenary.'
”Zero, how was it?” He spoke with slight smile on his face.
”My lord, I have two news for you, one bad news and one good news. Which would you like to hear first?” Zero asked with a panting voice.
