Watching the young man standing alone in this inconspicuous place at this time of night looks uncommon how ever anyone saw it.

They could not help feeling suspicious as to what such a person doing in this place.

Based on his attire they could guess that he was about to sleep. Wearing an old shirt with faded color and pant with thin fabric, aside from that, there's no more, no weapon either.

He was just an ordinary person, how ever anyone looked at him. Yet, how dumb this person to anger someone who must not be angered.

In this empire, there were people you should avoid angering no matter what. Or else, blame yourself for being ignorant.

It's the first time that they had given a task to kill a person without a proper background.

It's unbelievable to think, but this was their job.

Wondering why such a person in this place, in their minds they believed that he couldn't fall asleep and just taking a walk outside to feel sleepy.

Since the air outside was chilly. Good for someone who was having difficulty falling asleep.

Without moving an inch, the young man standing on the roadside while staring at the dark sky.

In the assassin's perspective, he was standing in a side view, where his left side facing at them.

Seconds later, they knitted their brows.

It was weird. They could feel the faint oscillation of magic inside him.

Wait! What? Magic? But...the client said that he was a magic-less person.

They were quite surprised upon noticing the error of the information given to them.

This was their first time having an error in their information. Of course, the guild informant was to be blamed. For not properly doing their job.

But, they hastily regained their composures since the magic energy they felt on this young man was just insignificant.

Although it surprised them for a second, the young man's magic was trivial. They could kill him easily just like stepping a pest on the roadside.

In their thought, this puny insect had no idea that tonight would be the last night of his life. They were grinning inside while thinking this.

What they were being cautious with was those people from their rival guild that usually hinder their missions. The people from the Guardian Guild.

Of course, they always alerted themselves. Even right now, their focus was not on the young man. But around them.

The young man seemed to notice already since he was twisting his neck to gaze at them.

The innocent look of the young man when gazing at them urged them to burst out laughing.

But they managed to hide the feeling of wanting to laugh.

For sure, this young man must be puzzled as to why they were standing relatively close to him.

They noticed the young man opening his mouth.

"Uh, good evening, venerable people," greeted by the young man in a casual voice. Without a tinge of fear but of course, he must be puzzled.

"Puhahahaha!!!" One of them burst into laughter.

Then he steps forward into the young man. The young man on the other hand just stood freezing without a slight of movements.

He looked so stiff.

They assumed that he was feeling a little doubtful now, and fear must be started crawling in his heart.

For sure, he must be flabbergasted at the moment.

That person rested his arm on the young man's left shoulder while he walks and stops at the right side of the young man. Like a friend acting buddy-buddy.

Each of them knew that he was planting something and was invoking fear in that young man's heart. After all, they had been in a mission together for several times.

"This Gale-Cutter..." Muttered one of them towards that person who was standing beside the young man.

That person was one of the famous assassins in the assassin's guild. He already at the peak of Silver-Grade.

He even killed 2 guardians from the Guardian Guild on their last mission. Those two guardians were at the peak of Silver-Grade also. But they were killed by a person with the same rank.

And that person was Gale-Cutter.

Yeman noticed the person resting his arm on his shoulder. He was standing while also gazing at the four people at his front. They were standing with mocking faces towards him. They must be thinking to inflict fear at him before playfully killing him.

|Such a sadistic way of killing.| He thought.

He noticed that one of them was covering his face with a mask, to its nose and eyes. He assumed that the person behind it was a woman. It's hard to tell because the person was covered by black clothing all over its body. And a hood on its head. He could only peek on its eyes staring at him like gazing at its prey and the mocking smile on its mouth. But a faint smell of a woman invaded his nose. That's why Yeman presumed that the person was a woman.

"Hahaha, hey, young man, do you know it is not good to wander alone at this time of night?" The person beside him stated.

He had long black hair, narrow-eyes, big smiling mouth, and cone-shape face.

He didn't even hide his killing intent when he approached him.

Looks like this one was overconfident with his strength. Or maybe, he was the sneaky type of an enemy.

Yeman noticed the hidden weapon at the back of the person. Well, all of them had such. Only the veil' ed woman had none.

Yeman could felt something on his shoulder. Like a curse was placed in it. Like it was vibrating.

Or maybe a mark.

He also noticed their eyes abruptly darted around.

Looks like they were perceiving the surroundings.

It seemed like, they were thinking that he had some back up hiding around while waiting for the right timing.

Maybe they were thinking he asked for protection from the Guardian Guild like what Eman stated in his diary.

Yeman doesn't even know what was this Guardian or Assassin guild. But based on how he understood their mission were opposite to each other's mission.

He wanted to laugh, because of how odd this empire could be.

Well, if he wanted back up, he could summon them whenever he wanted. He could even surround these people. But, no, because...

Yeman perceived another 50+ presence at the bushes at every side of the road. That's why these five people were over confidently walking straight into him.

"I- Is that so... hmm... sounds right. Then, venerable people, I had to go back now. I'm getting sleepy for a reason."

Yeman said and about to step when he noticed the hand on his shoulder holding him tightly.

"Hey, hey, hey... young man, don't you think it was too late for you to leave? Hehe!" Sarcastically said the person beside him.
