Chapter-48: Treacherous Man

Ashmus still didn't react to his words and kept looking at him without any expression.

Althea, who was covering her face from embarrassment, got out of it and looked at the masked person with a cold look.

Then she turned her head towards Ashmus, who still had a calm look on his face.

A while ago, she felt it was weird that Ashmus wasn't angered when their fun was interrupted by that man.

But now that she looked at his face, she realised that it was just the calm before the bloody storm.

He was enraged so much, that he couldn't even express it on his face. And when that rage erupts, this man will have all his arrogance extracted from his bones.

When she thought of this, even she felt a little bit of fear of what was about to happen to this man.

The masked man was just about to attack Ashmus because he still didn't answer his questions, but before he could move he noticed Althea by the side.

He flet thunder booming in his head when he saw her beautiful face and perfect figure. He was totally mesmerized by her.

Never had he seen anyone this beautiful in his entire life. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever encountered before.

He quickly got of his daze and repeatedly looked up and down of her body with a perverted look.

"Hahahaha..... I didn't think that i would get to have someone so beautiful. Heavens sure bless me, Hahahahaha..." After looking at her for a bit, he laughed loudly.

Althea, who heard his words, turned her head towards him with a infuriated look.

But seeing that Ashmus still didn't react even after hearing his words, Althea forgot her anger and a bit of sympathy for this man appeared on her face.

After laughing for a bit, the masked person looked at Althea and said," Where do you come from, woman? Why is a beauty like you not known in this world."

Then without waiting for her answer, he continued," Maybe, Heavens were trying to hide you from the world all this time only for me to have you. Hahahahaha..... Thank the heavens for their blessings. I will surely take good care of you."

"Ugh... Disgusting." Hearing his words, Althea was completely disgusted and made a revolting expression.

The man, who heard her words, stopped his laughter and shouted in anger," H-How dare you talk to me like that? As a useless mortal, you should be honoured to be able to serve me in my bed."

"Serve you? You aren't even worthy enough to even lick the dust off my shoes." Althea insulted him when she heard his words.

"Preposterous. How dare a mere mortal say that to me? I will make sure you live like a slave from now on.

Your only purpose would be for you to serve me with your body. I will make you regret saying those words." The man was totally angered by her words and threatened her viciously.

"S-stop..... Senior, please don't do anything."

Just as he was about to attack them, he was stopped by someone. It was Kenzo.

When the masked man shouted in this quiet place, kenzo also heard his voice and recognised him. He hurriedly went to look for him.

His main intention was to look for his father, who should have been saved by that person. But he was also going to warn him about not to do anything stupid if he wants to die a painless death.

But when reached there, he saw that the masked person was threatening Althea with those vulgar words.

When kenzo heard those words, his legs felt weak and he fell down hardly. Because he was just a mortal without any cultivation, his forehead and knees were injured when he fell down.

But he didn't care about the pain in his body because he was about to die from how scared he was. His entire body was trembling violently and he started crying without any sound.

But when he saw that the man was about to attack them, he shouted at him to stop him from inviting his painful death so quickly.

When the masked man heard his shout, he turned to the side and saw that it was that brat from the village.

He also remembered that his plans played perfectly because this brat co-operated with him very well.

He calmed down his anger for a bit and asked," It's you. What are you doing here alone? And what about my subordinates? "

He wanted to know what had happened to his subordinates and why is this village brat be here with these two strangers.

"S-senior, Your subordinates..... They are all dead." Kenzo said with a shuttering voice. He kept glancing at Ashmus from time to time because he wanted to know if this demon is angered or not.

"What! You mean both of the teams died. How did they all die?" The masked man was shocked when he heard his words and shouted.

"That.... They died..." When kenzo wanted to explain the previous incidents, he was interrupted by the man.

"So they all died, huh... They must have been killed by a strong magical beast." The man sighed as he thought that they must have been killed by a magical beast.

But a second later a smile formed on his face and he started laughing," So they are all dead. Hahahahaha.... As expected, heavens are always helping me.

"Hahahaha... If i had known that they would die like this, i wouldn't have made so much trouble for myself." He laughed with nothing but happiness and arrogance.

Kenzo, on the other hand, was confused by his laughter. He couldn't understand why this man would laugh after losing so many powerful subordinates.

So he asked the man about this," What do you mean by that, Senior?"

The man stopped laughing and looked at him with a mocking expression,"Hehehe.... You don't understand. Then let me tell you.

Right from the start, i wanted nothing more than to kill them all. Otherwise, why would i have separated the entire team to 3 parts and have them in different positions.

It's all because i wanted everyone to die from the very start." The revealed his true plan from the start. He wanted to wipe out all the assassins in his team.

Kenzo, who heard his words, was totally shocked and asked again," Why would you want to have your own subordinates die like this."

"Oh, that's because i wanted all the rewards of this mission for myself. They are not worthy to share something with me.

You don't know this, but the one who hired us for this mission offered a ginormous amount of treasures and cultivation resources for the one who could kill that injured girl.

And if i can have all the resources to myself, my cultivation will rise extremely quickly and i can become a elder of the fraction.

After that my future will be limitless. Hahahahaha....." After explaining all his plans, the man once again started laughing loudly.
