At the end of dark stairways. 

Ace looked at the tightly shut door protected by a formation. His eyes suddenly stopped at the impression on the sidewall. 

'Heh, they making it easier for me.' Ace grinned as a black wooden token appeared in his hand, there was a vivid red skull engraved on it and the skull eyes sockets were lit in purple flame. 

This was the purple ghost token he took from the assassin he killed, and it was also an identity token of every Ghost Assassin. 

Ace pressed the wooden token in the impression on the sidewall and the purple flame inside the skull's sockets flashed and the next moment the large door creaked open. 

Ace put the ghost token inside this thief's space and enter a large lobby lit in soft blue light. 

Right in the center of this lobby, there was a huge blackboard and different posters of people were pinned on it with a number below. 

'So, this is the hit bored, and all those people in posters are targeted with their price tag below.' Ace's eyes turned cold as he looked toward the hit-bored. 

With the purple assassin memories, he knew the hits were collected in an assassin den hidden in the main cities of every kingdom, and only a chosen few know about those dens. 

Most of those people knew about those dens were high in power quo, and they used the 'services' of Nightmare Ghosts to assassinate their competitors and enemies. 

There were three types of kill orders the Nightmare Ghosts Organization accepts, 'Kill, Must Kill, Silent Kill.' 

Kill Order category was cheapest, cost between 1 Million and 10 Million high Qi stones. Only White Assassins and Grey Assassins can accept these hits. 

The guarantee of kill orders was three tries before the hit will be deemed unsatisfactory for the current category and the client had to pay more to upgrade their order or the kill order would be canceled with no refunds.   

Must Kill Order, was too expensive between 10 Million and 50 Million high Qi stones, depending on target value and his strength. But the assassins who could accept these hits will be Blue Assassins and Purple Assassins.

However, the guarantee of this order was a hundred percent as long as the target didn't exceed the Qi River Cultivation. 

Last but not least, the Silent Kill Order which was only available in Damien Kingdom main branch, the price was colossal, between 100 Million and 1 Billion. 

The dispatch assassin will be Black Assassin and only 1 try will be given, if failed on the first try the silent kill order will be removed and no more orders for the same target will be taken anymore with no refund. 

The silent kill order was too rare because it was mostly dealing with the Qi river core cultivators, which weren't much in middle-level lands and each one of them had enormous force behind it.

That's why the Ghosts only try one time and leave the person alone if failed, to give some face to the Qi river core expert and show this wasn't personal. 

Old Man Black once targeted even Damien King, but Damien King managed to escape and Old Man Black revealed the person name who put the hit order on him to show his goodwill.

Damien King naturally didn't hold it against him since he knew the rules of Nightmare Ghosts and target his resentment toward the person who put this hit on him, which was his own younger brother!

As for the Royal Killer, and King Killer level assassins, their hit orders weren't available here since only one Royal Killer level Assassin was a force to reckon with! 

Besides, if you managed to kill the assassin who came after you, the organization would not take revenge if only the targets kill the assassin because if anyone else dares to kill an assassin without being its target, that person will be hunted down until he's dead!

This makes the organization seem fair in the eyes of others, and that's why they're still operating without anyone pestering them. 

Ace saw many black-clad and masked figures surrounding the hit bored, it was a rule to never show your face and tell your name, even to your fellow members, and always wore masks.

Only the Black Assassins had the luxury to be exempt from these rules. 

Ace didn't dwell there and go toward the counter in the lobby's corner, where another masked figure was sitting. 

"Token, and Target Order please." A cold voice of a girl sounded behind the mask. She was here to record the order an assassin would take or claim the rewards for completed missions. 

An assassin can exchange for either Qi stones or any resources available in the organization according to their ranks. These resources contain, Pills, Skills, Techniques, Weapons….and many things that weren't available in entire middle-level lands. 

"Where is Master Purple?" Ace coolly said while showing her 'his' purple assassin token. 

The person Ace was posing wasn't from this branch, that's why he didn't know about the position of the treasury here. The only one who knew was the Purple Assassin in charge! 

The female assassin's eyes constricted when she was the purple ghost token in Ace's hands and quickly changed her cold tone into a respectful one, "Master Purple is currently in retreat, may I know what business Lord Purple had with him, so I could inform her."

She knew anyone that can reach the rank of a purple assassin was a killer among killers, so it was better to not offend them!

"Just tell her Elder Black sent me." Ace coldly stated as he used the 'Old Man Black' title. 

"E-elder Black?!" The female assassin was scared hearing the title, "Please follow me, to the guest hall, and I'll inform Master Purple immediately!" 

Everyone knew there were only two Black Assassins in the entire middle-level lands and that was Elder Black, Old Man Black, and Vice Elder Black, Margaret!

That's why she become scarred when Elder Black was mentioned, the person who ruled the entire Nightmare Ghosts organization in middle-level lands!
