Inside his chamber, Elder Grenn's white eyebrows were almost meeting each other as he was reading a piece of paper.
In front of him was a cup of liquid with a strong smell and a bottle of liquor beside it.
Although it was still noon of the day yet the inside of the chamber was dimly lit by a single crystal lamp on the ceiling.
Beside him, his trusted butler Fem was standing relatively close to him without making a slight movement just like a statue.
Last night after they came back from the assassin guild, he opened his most expensive favorite wine that he was reserving since last year. He opened it not because he was depressed, but because he was celebrating for upcoming death of that person after they successfully abducted him. He could finally kill that person in his hands, then relax and have peace of mind after killing him.
The guild master Jack Al accepted his offer of sending stronger assassins to abduct that person with the exchange of an unknown ancient treasure from the treasury of Gentlewind family's main house.
That treasure was from their ancestors. It was a golden puzzle piece. But none of them knew the uses of it. It was sleeping in the treasury since the Goldenwind family was built.
After some investigation, he learned that the guild master of assassin's guild was collecting ancient artifacts or treasures, such as that golden puzzle piece. So he paid some high-level thief from the thief guild to steal that treasure from their own family's treasury. With the help of him of course.
After seeing the treasure, the guild master Jack Al had no way of saying no but to accept the offer. He was even there before those assassins left to abduct that curse person.
But this morning a letter came from the guild master of assassin's guild.
Like spoiling the good mood he felt last night, the first sentence in the letter told him that the mission of abducting was a big failure. Many of his men fell victims and his golden stage assassin was nowhere to be seen. Out of 60 strong assassins, only 4 of them managed to come back.
And like adding salt to the wound, at the last sentence, the guild master clearly stated that he would never send another assassin again. He already lost too much which even he had headaches how to solve this issue.
Now Elder Grenn could not turn to the assassin guild anymore.
"Useless scum! That guild is just a group of useless fools! They could not even accomplish a simple task!" He was gripping the letter when his hand turned into a ball and he was spouting an insult at the same time. "Grr(Teeth gritting), after killing that stupid brat I will certainly destroy that useless guild next!" He added.
His eyes glinted while his body trembled with anger.
If only he could acquire the patriarch seat, it was easy for him to make a move. But since he was only a branch leader. His moves were limited. And he needed to be careful from the prying eyes of the other family branch and the main house. If not, it already long since that kid rotted in the ground.
A moment later, the door suddenly opened without a warning.
Elder Grenn's already sour mood becomes sourer at this behavior without consent!
A woman in her 30's wore an elegant and well-designed off-shoulder gown walking elegantly inside the chamber towards the table where Elder Grenn was sitting.
Elder Grenn slightly narrowed his eyes.
His sour mood just a moment ago totally vanished and was replaced by suspicion after seeing the identity of their guest. With her, were two beauties at the golden stage. They were her two trusted aids, Lila and Lili. The twin maids of Davila house. These two were said to be having lucky irregular seeds and that both were capable of killing a magician on a higher level than them.
A sudden idea appeared in Elder Grenn's mind. Last time he received a death threat letter from that person. And if he counted the nights, it would be tomorrow evening that the letter stated. At first, he thought that that person was just scaring him. Although it was useless doing that, it's no effect on him. But after these passed incidents that all the assassins they sent were defeated, he could only assume that that kid might be telling the truth and that he would come here tomorrow evening.
He was not really thinking that that person would be going to succeed with his plan. After all, Mr. Fem and his daughter Janrui was with him. Both were at the golden stage. And also him. Although he seemed old and not talented in magic, he was at the peak of silver.
He could also call back his strongest people that stationed in the frontline, or borrowed protection from guardian guild. But he doesn't want to waste any more money just to kill that brat.
In terms of money, he could easily earn it by any means. Using his underhanded methods. Like for example, supporting a group of criminals behind the scene.
Anyway...
Good thing that this lady, the first daughter of Davila family from the main house, Detty Davila came to visit here today together with her twin maids.
If he could prolong their stay until tomorrow evening, there was a big chance that he could catch that brat.
Elder Green chuckled inwardly. Looks like, he was blessed by good fate.
"How, how nice of you lady Detty to grace us here with your graceful presence. Sorry if this uncle was not able to greet you outside. If only I know that you were coming here today, I would make the whole town to welcome you." Without waiting for her to sit down he cupped his hand towards the lady. It was only natural that Elder Grenn behaves like this. Because this Detty had high political power inside the Gentlewind family. It wasn't good to be on the bad side of this type of person.
Detty's red lips leaked a smile.
"Are you perhaps came here for my daughter Janrui?" Without waiting for her reply he added. From childhood, Detty used to visit here to play with his daughter Janrui.
Detty smiled. "Good day uncle Grenn. I came here for another reason. But before that, this place seemed like it had a strong smell of liquor. Is something was bothering the uncle?"
Elder Grenn briefly frowned, this was the strongest aspect of this lady. She has keen senses. It would be a gamble for him to trick her.
