Chapter 12-Contract

Chapter 12-Contract

Athena smiled, feeling that the Sword God had made a good decision to help her because she saw potential in her.

She looked at Tessa, who was still thinking about what to do, and said, "Yes, I was summoned here by Hope. At first, I thought you were unworthy of me, but I saw potential in you, so I will make a contract with you."

She waved her hands, and a magic circle appeared in the air. She bit her finger and dropped blood on it.

She smiled and looked at Tessa. "You just need to drop some blood here, and the contract will be done."

"Don't worry, it's an equal relationship contract, and you can break it if you want."

"I am a strong spirit, so it's your loss if you refuse my generous offer."

Tessa had no clue that the small spirit in front of her was a god.

Athena's hair was white, and her eyes were also white. She was so cute that no one would expect she was a god.

She was right; she had already given the best offer she could to show respect to Dwight.

Tessa thought for a while and then decided.

It was for Dwight, and she believed she made the right decision.

She took out a small pin from her pocket and scratched her thumb.

Blood appeared, and she put it in the magic circle to sign the contract.

Athena smiled, as the contract was finally done.

"Hehehe, for the first time, this queen is contracted."

The magic contract disappeared, and then a light appeared and hit Tessa's left hand.

After it hit Tessa's hand, cold energy appeared in the air and entered her body instantly.

Tessa felt something happening inside her body. She felt stronger, and her senses sharpened.

She didn't know that her Primordial Ice Body had now awakened, and her spiritual veins were open.

She could now use magic and absorb spiritual energy.

The energy didn't stop and kept being absorbed by her body.

Athena, watching the changes in her body, was stunned and murmured, "As expected of the Primordial Ice Body."

Tessa was stunned and saw a small snowflake tattoo on her left hand.

"That tattoo means we are connected, and you can contact me using the mark,"

Athena explained, knowing Tessa had many questions.

Athena started to give her some information and explained how to control her strength.

They both didn't sleep that night, as they were busy getting to know each other.

Meanwhile, the mastermind was sleeping next to a baby phoenix, peacefully, as if he hadn't just summoned a Spirit God.

....

In a dark room, a man with a black mask sat in a chair, reading the report in his hands.

Two people stood behind him, and a figure knelt in front of him.

All of them wore black clothes and masks, but the man sitting had more authority and a higher position.

"So, you mean Dark Crow disappeared after that one-handed crippled guy hired him?"

The kneeling figure nodded and replied, "Vice Leader, he really has disappeared. We believe he is already dead because no one in the Assassin House would betray the organization."

"We don't know how he died since the place where he was last seen exploded."

"We are still searching for that one-handed guy to interrogate him, so please give us more time."

He pleaded nervously, feeling intimidated in front of the Vice Leader.

The Vice Leader of the Assassin House was the second highest-ranking member in the entire organization.

Dark Crow was a low-tier 9-star assassin, and his death was a significant loss.

Dark Crow had served the organization for many years and was loyal. He would not have betrayed them.

Even if someone tried to betray the organization, they would still die, as they had signed a contract, and their souls would explode if they broke it.

The Assassin House had many connections and was well-known worldwide.

Many people hired them for dirty jobs like assassinations, and they were deeply rooted everywhere.

They had killed many people, so many tried to locate their base for revenge, but no one knew where it rea

lly was.

The organization abducted children and forcibly trained them to become lifelong assassins.

…

The Vice Leader looked at the assassin in front of him and said, "I'll give you three days to find out what happened. If you fail, prepare for the worst."

The kneeling assassin, sweating profusely, nodded and quickly left.

The Vice Leader saw his fear but didn't care; there was no place for incompetence in the organization.

They were mere puppets to be commanded or eliminated as needed.

As he thought, he suddenly asked the two figures behind him, "By the way, how about the trio we sent to scout the Academy?"

"The Leader of the Demonic Sect hired them for the mission, so I hope they perform well."

The feared leader of the Demonic Sect had contacted them to send young assassins to enroll in the World's Academy and scout talented youngsters.

They accepted the offer and sent their elite young assassins to the academy.

One of the figures behind him replied, "They are doing well. I've heard they have already entered the academy."

"We'll just wait a few days for their reports."

The Vice Leader smiled and continued reading the reports.

............................

In a secluded cave in the forest, a man with many wounds appeared.

He had only one hand, and one of his eyes was bleeding continuously.

He was looking for a safe place to rest and recover, so he headed to the forest, but he didn't expect the local beasts to attack him as well.

He managed to kill them, but their numbers were large, which drained most of his energy.

Fortunately, he finally found a cave to rest in and began to heal himself and regain his strength.

He felt unlucky ever since he hired that assassin to abduct Dwight.

Despite this, he was still determined to get his revenge.

'Just you wait.'

As he was starting to relax, he suddenly heard a sneer behind him.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to survive my attack, Carlo."

The one-handed man, Carlo, turned and saw a tall, handsome man with a sword at his waist.

It was David, his mortal enemy, the one who had cut off his arm.

"The hell…"

Carlo tried to stand and escape, but he suddenly felt his legs give out and fell to the ground.

"Arghh!"

He shouted in pain, seeing that David had swiftly cut both of his feet.

"Hahaha, from being one-handed to now a no-foot man."

David laughed, enjoying tormenting him.

"What do you want? How did you find me?"

Carlo shouted through his pain, his face pale from blood loss.

David smirked and replied, "You think I didn't know you hired an assassin to abduct my son? Luckily, a senior saved him, and he was unharmed."

David was resting in his mansion when he received a report that someone had tried to abduct his son.

He wasn't willing to leave Dwight's safety solely to Prof. Donald, so he sent one of his trusted subordinates to guard them discreetly.

While his subordinate was on duty, he saw a man in black clothes but lost consciousness due to Dark Crow's trap.

Before he passed out, he recognized a badge on Dark Crow's clothes, confirming it belonged to the Assassin House.

When he regained consciousness, the carriage was gone, and there was no trace of what had happened.

He immediately began searching for information and clues until he detected an injured person fighting off many beasts in the forest.

He recognized him as one of his master's old rivals, so he reported it to his master first.

When he arrived at the Starlight Clan, he learned that the young master was safe and enrolled in the academy, which was a relief.

He then reported this to David, which shocked him.

David was initially angry but chose to address the problem first.

David had thought Carlo was dead but was surprised to find he had survived.
