Chapter 38 A Peculiar... Contract



She knew that what he and his parents signed was a bloodline contract. Then what did they sign? And what connection would bond them together.

Definitely not a bloodline contract. They were not related by blood whatsoever.

"A marriage contract." Damien casually blurted out, leaving not only Juliette speechless, but even his parents.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Well it is, from one perspective. Or you can just take it as a partnership contract. Your choice." Damien further elaborated, and was about to leave the room.

"...Marriage contract. Then, what about the ring?" Juliette murmured to herself, not aware that as First League Combatants, she was more than loud enough to everyone.

\'Uh-oh.\' Esther playfully covered her mouth to hide the smirk on her face. Knowing her son, she knew what action he would take next. He was no different from his father after all.

"That..." Damien paused, then took off the storage ring from his finger and walked towards her. Juliette panicked a bit and and took a stepped back.

But Damien easily held her hand and put the storage ring onto her ring finger. "Yeah, you can also keep whatever is inside as my dowry to you." He added and left.

"..."

"..."

His parents just stood there and smiled bitterly at the flabbergasted Juliette. The duo always acted like a couple, yet nobody ever said anything about feelings.

And their actions could just be misinterpreted as sibling love. But today, what Damien did, took it a step forward to another level, and blatantly said more than words could ever explain.

And it seemed Juliette had also been affected by this action. Even if it was intended as a joke... to her, it might be more than just that.

In fact, was it even a joke to begin with?

~~~

Ten minutes ago, outside the yard of the City Lord\'s castle, a duo hid within the shadows and had a conversation of their own, seemingly not minding the guards moving in and out of their vision.

"Little Nine, what Class did you get?" The taller shadow amongst the duo inquired, actively moving closer to the shorter shadow, which in return, codly responded, "None of your business, senior Six."

"Come on, you can\'t be this bitter, little Nine." The taller shadow said, his voice was that of a middle aged man that seemed quite carefree and energetic.

While the cold, and apathetic voice of the younger one was feminine and still childish, "Senior, please respect yourself, and your profession."

"..."

The middle aged man was left speechless and just hid within the shadows silently. The younger assassin also did not say anything, and they hid in silence waiting for a perfect opportunity.

Time ticked by, and after an hour, the security became lax, and there was an opportunity to move in. And being professionals, the two of them flashed like lightning and disappeared into the city lord\'s mansion.

From there, it did not take them long to move through the blind spot of the innumerable guards and move into the target\'s main residence.

The City Lord\'s mansion was quite large, and had five smaller mansions on the sides, sorounding the main mansion in a pentagon shape, each owned by a son of the city lord.

The duo moved towards the far northern mansion and invaded the circle of guards using their professional skills alone. They could have used special Abilities, but none felt the need to.

And in less than three hours, they had invaded the mansion all the way to its root. Now, they completely knew the mansion in and out, and could confidently claim to be servants.

And to become servants, they did.

They each took out a servant, a single maid and a butler, and impersonated them. Of course, these were beings low in ranking even among servants, and those that seemed relatively new.

Two more hours went by, and the duo took in their roles and got to know the other servants better. They worked their hardest, and incorporated themselves into this mansion.

They were obedient and enthusiastic with their work, respectful and humble knowing their position perfectly, and most importantly, observant.

By 6pm, they had already become a part of the mansion and knew a thing or two about their target. Yet it was still not yet time, or so they themselves as professionals believed.

The day ended as such, and tomorrow was no better. Nothing great occurred, and the duo kept studying their target, their target\'s competition, and the man in charge of this city.

The days went by, and a week was over by then. An entire series of seven days went by, and the duo still patiently went through their work without so much as a complain.

By then, they had complete information about the city lord\'s estate, and had called in four other companions from the Gray House to infiltrate each competitor.

Their aim was to get as close as they possibly could to them. While two more moved to invade the main mansion as we speak. While the remaining two members stayed to watch the Gray House.

This was no longer just a solo game, but a mission which the entire Gray House participated. The whole of humanity was at stake here.

Something like this was a honor for anyone targeted, because each of these assassins were world level threats.

And all of them together... with Hidden Classes on their belts, were terrifying to even think about at all. It was just catastrophic... purely, and utterly unnecessary.

~~~

Meanwhile throughout the whole week that the Gray House had been out busy, the Gray couple had also been out of the city stronghold and were hunting down opponents around the city\'s periphery.

Throughout the weak, they did nothing but hunt, hunt, and hunt some more.

From low leveled creatures like the rabbits to other harmless herbivores, to big creatures like valley deers, thick legged kudus and many other potentially threatful herbivores.

They even targeted the omnivorous flarizards, and the nearby wolves. The battles were not that dangerous, especially with their current supernatural abilities.

Even now as we speak, a very great battle took place between the couple and a group of over a hundred wolves attacking them.

The couple ran along the forest, a pack of wolves chasing them from behind. Both had their stats argumented greatly beyond normal, and their running speed was monstrous.

Even though the wolves had also evolved throughout the week, and some becoming Tier 1 creatures, they still failed to catch up to the two Hidden Class couriers.

"I\'ll take out a few." Esther whispered to David and in a blur of black light, she turned around and dashed towards the running wolves at her full speed.

She was like a breeze of wind, or a black lightning bolt as she dashed in between the circle of wolves. Every second, her hands skillfully reaped the lives of the wild pups with extreme fluidity.

But even then, a hundred wolves was still a force to reckon with. After taking out almost ten wolves, she retreated at the same speed she attacked with.

"Still too much for ya?" David asked with playful intentions, Esther smiled at him and replied, "Yes. A bit too much, but if I can get a chance, I can do much more damage."

David snickered, and his eyes were filled with brutality as he blurted out, "I can give you that much." He said.

"Oh? I\'m waiting." Esther responded, and really stopped in her tracks, a playful smile on her lips. David also stopped, a smirk on his face, one of brutality.

Da-da-da~

Da-da-da~

Meanwhile, the wolves, angered at Esther\'s actions of killing some of their own, rushed over when they saw the couple stop in the middle of an open plain.

This area was to their advantage. Or so they thought. David took a few steps ahead of his wife, and flexed his fingers. A moment later, he held the larger hammer on his back.

The hammer was large, it\'s handle was about a meter tall, and the head was even thicker than his own waist. It had black runic markings all over its body.

"Heh. I never really thought–" He raised the hammer above his hand, gathered so much strength in his weight that the ground sunk a few centimeters deep. "–I\'d test this power on a bunch of pups!!"

Bang!!

The wolves were already a short ten meters away from him, and some were ready to pounce on him. But David did not give them the chance.

He smashed the large Mammoth Hammer on the ground, and just that action alone shook the ground and ruptured it as if a magnitude 8 earthquake had just occurred.

The momentum and force of the wolves were disrupted, causing a few to unfortunately die. But that was not all that David had done.

And that was his pure physical force boosted by the Mammoth Hammer\'s passive effect. Then the effects of his so called "power", were what followed next.

Boom!!

An unforseen force spread out from the point of contact of the hammer and the earth, which spread out powerfully and swept the wolves away like broken kites in a storm.
