Assassin [DeadShot] (Part 2)

In an office complex with a very prestigious three star hotel in Dark Bliss City, a middle aged man was currently watching his favorite program on the television.

As he looked at the blood red wine within his cup, as well as all the money in his account, not only did he feel rather satisfied with current life, the smile on his face also became even more splendid.

This middle aged man was Stan, a very big fraudster in the financial world. He was formerly a Wall Street broker but upon finding out that defrauding people was more lucrative, he turned to the life of crime.

Because he had defrauded a lot of influential people and bankrupted quite a few companies, he had quite a few enemies. There was even a bounty on his head at the Black Widow Mercenary Group. And it wasn't even one bounty!

One B rank mission and two C rank missions, separated into three missions with different issuers. The missions all asked for the assassination of Stan, however despite being just an ordinary person, he still lived his life comfortably because of his bodyguards. He had bodyguards were from the very famous Black Knight Mercenary group. Due to the strength and prestige that this mercenary group carried, not many C and B rank assassins were willing to provoke them for the amount of bounty offered. Those that were courageous enough were also incapable of breaking through the Black Knight bodyguards' protection.

At this moment, a white cat jumped from the window and landed into the room. Because he was so preoccupied, he didn't notice this white cat. This cat looked at Stan and confirmed that it was his target.

"Whoosh!" A white flash passed by.

"Pu!!" before he could recover from his surprise, Stan only felt an intense pain from his throat. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and there was a deep fear within its eyes. It was a fear of death, and his wind pipe was slashed; preventing him from shouting out.

Blood splattered all over the room as Stan finally died with an unwilling expression! The culprit disappeared after confirming that its target had died.

…

"His throat was sliced clean through and he died without being able to make a sound!" a young bodyguard who was assigned to protect Stan reported to his supervisor.

"How could it be? This office is on the fortieth floor, so it is basically impossible to climb through the windows. The cameras in the corridors also didn't register any attackers approaching. So how did the attacker bypass all the security personal and cameras in the room and assassinate our client without being noticed?' Another man interjected with a frown.

These two were high level bodyguards within the Black Knight Mercenary group and both had the strength of Peak [Half Moon] Warriors. There was even a [Full Moon] warrior close by. They were invited by the cowardly Stan after spending a large amount of money but none of them noticed anything until Stan's secretary entered the room and shouted!

"Since his throat was sliced clean through, that assassin must have been within the room. However, we were outside of the office the entire time. Could it be that he went into the office without us noticing, and then easily escaped after?" The bodyguard clearly did not believe the assumption he just made.

"This situation seems to be rather difficult, let's report this to the upper authorities!" The other bodyguard spoke after thinking for a long time, and he released a discouraged sigh.

A client of the Black Knight Mercenary Group actually got assassinated while under the protection of three high level bodyguards and they weren't even alerted in the slightest while the assassination was carried out. This was definitely a humiliation, and it was a stain on their reputation. If the two bodyguards died, then it was fine since the enemy was too powerful. However, the two bodyguards were perfectly fine, and did not even see the assassin's shadow. The only explanation for this was that the Black Knight Mercenary Group's protection was not satisfactory.

By this time, the white cat had already left and arrived at a building close by and met with Alvin. It was Byakko who executed this mission in his shrunken. The current Byakko was very huge in his original form so of course Alvin would not allow it to display its full size here. It would be too conspicuous.

The reason why Alvin allowed Byakko to execute this mission was because the location of the target was very tricky and he was ill equipped to do it himself. Now that this mission had been completed without a hitch, he can use the money to better equip himself.

…

The days passed one after another, and in an instant, two weeks passed by. In the evenings, Alvin would log into the One Piece world with Byakko and accept the high grade sword training of Master Koshiro and also hunt to increase his level. During the day he would resume his career as a hit man. As his finances increased, Alvin purchased a Remington 1000 XTR Super Long-Range Tactical Bolt-Action Rifle which cost him almost £ 2,000,000 and a hit on a very dangerous drug lord!

With the help of Byakko, during this time, Alvin had successfully completed the 10 missions required to advance to a grade B Assassin. The name ''Dead Shot'' had gradually also became to circulate within the assassination world in Dark Bliss City. Ten C rank missions were quickly completed, and Alvin also began to climb the B rank assassination ranks.

No matter who it was, they were unable to resist his attacks, and the targets on the assassination organization's list became increasingly terrified. However, what greeted them was only a single bullet through their skulls or a clean slash through their throats, and no matter who the bodyguards were, they were unable to notice this mysterious assassin Dead Shot's figure.

Apart from this, even though his strength had grown a lot, his strength progress over this two week period had slowed down compared to the initial stages because the amount of experience points required to progress were becoming more and more outrageous. The number of high level creatures in the forest had also began to decease in a very fast pace. Because of this, Alvin had considered leaving Shimotsuki Village but he realized that his strength was too weak to set off now.

During this time, the initial fervor of the 'Pirate World' VR game had died down but the payers who started playing this game had realized immense benefits. The strongest player reported on the online period over the three weeks since this game started had reached Level 5! That player was now a Third Class Private in the Navy.
