Chapter 315 - Michael and The Princess (1/2)

In the eyes of the people like Michael, the royal families and the other powerful forms of government certainly has the ability to suppress them using military power, but will they be able to protect themselves with it against people like Zero who hide within the shadows?

The answer is a big no!

They won't be able to protect themselves against assassins using weapons unless they are equally or more skilled than their attacker.

A powerful weapon is useless in the hands of a noob.

This is the reason why the governments had always turned a blind eye towards the underground organizations, and let's not even forget the numerous deals that happen under the table.

Master Lin glared at Michael and said in a voice that only the two of them can hear, ”What do you mean by that?”

”You...could you be someone targeting the Duke?”

A sudden absurd realization hit him and couldn't help but think that Michael is here to assassinate the Duke of Angles Kingdom.

Master Lin's guard had truly gone up a notch as he wouldn't hesitate to pull his sword out the moment that Michael showed signs of attacking him.

Michael stood there, looking at Master Lin with a dumbfounded look on his face.

”Ohhh, silly me. So that wasn't the case, but I didn't expect that the Guild is behind the Duke”

Micheal quickly smiled and patted Master Lin's shoulder before walking past him.

Master Lin turned around and stared at Michael's back, as his guard finally loosened up as he was really about to attack Michael earlier just now when his hand was reaching towards him, but he didn't expect that Michael would just pat him on his shoulders and walk away.

”Wait..could it be?”

Looking at Michael's back, Master Lin finally realized something terrifying.

”Could it be that he's from the Continental?”

He sweated, as it was an open secret that the royal family has connections with that behemoth of an organization.

He came to this conclusion because Michael's expression quickly eased up the moment he mentioned the word, Duke, in front of him.

Then he remembered something and couldn't help but curse.

”Sh*!”

Master Lin has started feeling more anxious and fidgety right now.

After all, he knows that some people from Continental are bastards who steal people from other organizations by recommending them to the group.

'And if he's one of those people, then he must have surely tried to recruit those kids!'

'I have to go back to the academy!'

But the problem is that Master Lin is the only one among their Guild who is currently protecting the Duke, and if he leaves without any good reason, then it might complicate the cooperation between their Guild and the Duke household.

Master Lin quickly left the hall through the side doors and arrived at the garden as he quickly took out his phone and started calling someone.

”Pick it up, Maya!”

He repeatedly called her, but it was all in vain as the person he's trying to call never bothered to pick it up. Master Lin even called Markus, but it resulted in the same thing, and luckily, luck seems to be shining over him as the third person he called picked it up.

[Yes, Master Lin?] Kiko's voice sounded from the other side of the call.

”Where are Maya and Markus?” he asked angrily.

There was silence for a second before Kiko answered,

[Maya and Markus had just left the academy ten minutes ago Master Lin]
