Chapter 329: The story of Xander of the league of assassins (part II).

Knowing the trafficker’s range of operation, Xander moved to a farther part of the city, because he knew there would be a bounty on him and if he was caught death would be a better option than the level of punishment he would receive from the traffickers.

After a week of moving to a new location, Xander had returned to his hideout in the sewers after a successful solo operation to see a dimensional amulet.

Xander’s first thought was that his new location had been found out and he needed to move, but on a second thought, he wondered why the intruder would drop something as valuable as a dimensional amulet. He checked out the dimensional amulet and found out that it contained a pile of beast cores, basic cultivation, and martial arts books.

The idea of selling them for a fortune came to him, but after using his knowledge of reading that had been taught to him at the orphanage, Xander read the contents of the books and found out that they explained steps to becoming a mage.

If it were most slaves they would have sold everything to bring themselves out of poverty, but Xander was smarter than his peers and was able to think farther into the future.

He was smart enough to identify this as an opportunity to drastically change his fate, and with that, there was no doubt who the person responsible for the gifts was.

On days when he would have good hauls, Xander would return earlier to read and absorb energy from the beast cores.

.....



Best

With the strengths that came with absorbing energy from beast cores and practicing martial arts, Xander’s daily hauls were increasing at an outstanding rate. He had upgraded from barely surviving to eat enough to even support his cultivation.



With his surprisingly very high magical talent, it took Xander a month to break through to the warrior realm, unlocking the Lightning element of the Karius family and the earth element of the Ulrik family.

Although this opened up more opportunities to obtain more resources (Steal things of higher worth), he was out of magical resources and still wasn’t strong enough to steal them because not just any commoner or beginner mage could get their hands on things like beast cores and higher-level magical books. So stealing from them was another way of committing suicide.

This made Xander take a different approach. With his new powers, he began carrying out calculated high-risk high-reward robberies then saved most of the spoils for a long period of time to purchasing magic weapons for hunting magical beasts.

He used the beast cores he got from hunting for cultivating and sold the beast corpse in the black market for gold coins, which he used to buy more magical books and upgrade his magical equipment.

His cultivation progress had reduced by a whole lot since he was using whatever he got, but on the bright side, it helped him extensively train his elemental mastery and physical capabilities.

This went on for almost a year until he returned to his hideout in the sewers one night and found a higher grader of dimensional amulet.

It contained a cursed artifact in the form of a black earring that allowed him to change appearance but gave him random personalities. He also got higher grades of a lot more beast cores and magical books on elemental control, a book on star fusion, and most importantly a book that taught the Raiju breathing technique.

At this point, it was clear that the dark-skinned man was grooming him from the shadows and was rewarding his progress with more resources.

The question Xander couldn’t answer was why?

This relationship continued for years as Xander had grown drastically in strength and so did his infamy.

Not only was his plans and backup plans impeccable, but he was more than talented in lightning mastery. He was so naturally attuned to lightning that his haze hair color and eyes had completely changed to white.

By the time he had gotten to the peak of the Hero realm, Xander had amassed a lot of artifacts and it was at that point that he had decided to commence the 1st stage of his revenge.

He first tortured and killed the orphanage head that had sold him into slavery before going for the child traffickers.

There were a lot of child traffickers, but his goal was going after the particular trafficker that bought him. Xander tracked down the organization and the identity o the kingpin whose name was Jamul. He killed every member of the organization and tortured the kingpin for days before finally killing him.

After the 1st stage of his revenge was concluded, Xander had gone on what is currently known as his greatest heist and had managed to survive.

The news spread all across the empire and had caused a lot of high ups to look into his background, and shockingly they found out that he was the child that the Karius and Ulrik family had rejected.

This made both families regret their decision of rejecting such a genius, but it was way too late for them because even if they managed to recruit him he still had to pay off his long streak of crimes.

On the other hand, Xander’s latest feet had attracted way too much heat on him, causing him to constantly be on the run because of the bounty on his head but that was when he was approached by the dark-skinned man that had given him a chance to change his fate.

“I am really glad that you had what it took to change your fate.” The dark-skinned man said as his skin and cloth began burning, till it revealed a man dressed in all black and wearing a black smiling mask.

“I am here to offer you the final step in changing your fate. The league of assassins invites you to join her ranks. Do you accept?”

“I do.” Xander said not surprised by the change in appearance.

“Welcome to the league of assassins.” The masked said as spatial tear opened and he gestured for him to enter.
