Chapter 1708 The Assassination

“Dad, quit thinking about it! I will make the call now.” With that being said, Jehan was about to walk out of the room when he was stopped by Ansel. His father yelled, “Stop there! I can’t do this kind of thing!” “But Dad!” “Brother!” “Shut up, both of you!” Ansel turned to face the wall and said, “Shut up and let me have some peace!” *** The sky turned pitch black as night fell, and even the moon was obscured by thick fog and dark clouds. In front of a relatively remote hotel in Fern City, some figures entered the door of this hotel one after another. A man in a bomber jacket with a tuft of golden hair on his head stood in front of the window in a hotel suite at the time. In his hand, he held a smoldering cigar. When the door sounded with loud knocks, he asked the visitor to come in. An old man in a linen garment walked in from the outside. After he came in, the old man did not say anything, but immediately found a place to sit down, as if he was waiting for something to happen. In the next few minutes, more visitors walked in from outside, one after another. Everyone who entered the room exuded a distinct aura, either because they possessed strong cultivation abilities or because they exuded the aura of a high-ranking person. They were anything but ordinary. “Has everyone arrived?” The man with the golden hair turned around and took a look around the room. There were about seven or eight people in total. The room's door was automatically closed and locked with a wave of his hand. “The new White family patriarch has been confirmed, right? What’s the situation over there now?” The golden-haired man asked. “I don’t understand what Regis is doing,” someone in the group sneered. “He actually played an unexpected move before he died. Even though that man is no longer alive, he continues to stir things up. “A girl named Olympias is the new patriarch of the family. Many members of the family are now dissatisfied with Regis’ decision. The family may be in disarray as a result.” “You all have contacted Mr. White, right?” The golden-haired man asked as he swept his glance past the crowd one by one. “Everyone in the room gets along very well with Mr. White. Of course, he has invited us here this time to avoid any potential mishaps. Now, an accident has happened!” Everyone looked at each other. The yellow-haired man continued, “Everyone, if Mr. White can be made patriarch next, it will benefit both ourselves and our families. If his party is defeated, then all of our previous efforts will be for naught. So let’s not hold back this time.” “We’ve come to this point. We have a clear understanding of what is more important.” The old man in the linen robe who walked into the room was the first to stand up. “This time, no one came alone,” he explained. “If there is an internal conflict within the family, we will send our people to support Mr. White. There is nothing else that needs to be said.” “I just received the news. Mr. White asked us to send someone to assassinate Olympias White tonight,” the golden-haired man said with a faint smile revealed on his face. “Who wants to volunteer?” As soon as these words came out, everyone present glanced at each other. The yellow-haired man tempted, “This is a good opportunity.” “I’ll go!” A man in a black leather jacket stood up. “Count me in!” “Me too!” *** At midnight, it was raining heavily outside the Regis Tower. Olympias was tossed and turned on the bed inside the room, unable to sleep. A figure appeared outside the door at this precise moment. Then, out of nowhere, the window that had been closed swung open. “Who’s there?” Olympias shouted subconsciously. However, there was no response from the outside. The raindrops that were falling from the sky seemed to freeze in the air all of a sudden. Countless raindrops could be seen gathering in the air, eventually forming a tiny water sword the size of a finger. After that, the sword swooshed and shot toward Olympias inside her room. That water sword was condensed with vigorous energy. It even came with an oppressive force. This water sword was unquestionably condensed by a Transformation warrior. Killing Olympias was a piece of cake for a Transformation assassin. Olympias stood helplessly as the water sword came crashing down on her chest. In her mind, she thought of many ways to avoid the attack. Unfortunately, she couldn’t keep up with her cultivation strength. The gap between the realms was so big that she couldn’t avoid it at all. Soon, the water sword pierced through Olympias’s chest. At this very moment, a terrifying force suddenly erupted in Olympias’ body, forming a red aura armor that was the shape of a fish scale which was visible to the naked eye. Bam!!! The water sword hit the air armor, and it was forcibly shattered just like that. Olympias’ eyes widened, and she stared at her chest in disbelief. She was stunned on the spot as the armor dissipated in the next second. “Holy sh*t! That Arowana fish also has this sort of effect?” Olympias was a little dazed. Three figures appeared in the square simultaneously outside the Regis Tower at this time. “We’ve blown it!”An old man said in a low voice. “The White family warriors will rush out at any time,” he said as he drew his saber. “Let’s rush in and get rid of her as soon as possible.” As soon as the voice fell, the old man turned into a stream of light and rushed into the Regis Tower. His peers trailed closely behind him, but as they approached the door, they heard a scream from inside. The old man who had just rushed into the tower flew out of the building like a cannonball. “What’s going on?” The two men who followed him changed their expressions dramatically. Subconsciously, they came to a halt and abruptly backed away. That old man was blasted out of the building and half-kneeling on the ground, spitting blood. He murmured, “So powerful!” The three of them looked at the door in unison and saw Tyr holding Ormr Dagger. Tyr was staring at the three indifferently and asked, “Who sent you here?” The question went unanswered by the trio. They raised the weapons in their hands again and rushed toward Tyr. The four of them were instantly locked in a chaotic fight. Two of the three assassins were Transformation warriors, and the third was a Transcendent fighter at his peak.They were all top fighters. They were very powerful on their own, but it was a shame that they clashed blades with Tyr. Though Tyr was besieged for a while by the three, they were unable to gain any advantage. The battle between the four caused a huge ruckus in the middle of the night. The guards who had been stationed around the area rushed toward them. Before this, there were no guards around the tower, because Regis preferred the quiet atmosphere. As a result, the same arrangement remained for tonight. However, the other residents of the mansion were quickly alarmed by the commotion. The entire family was alerted at this point. Even though Tyr was besieged by the three, but the assassinators couldn’t gain the upper hand for a long time. Tyr, on the other hand, had injured them all. When the man in the leather jacket saw this, he yelled, “Retreat! We have failed!”
