Chapter thirty-seven: Who sent them? pt2

Shit, I mumbled as I ran away from the man who was chasing me.

Since my magic was greatly suppressed, I could only move twenty meters away with my teleportation. After a while, I could no longer use my magic because I was extremely worn out.

Due, he yelled. Suddenly, I saw huge ice spikes coming out of nowhere as they darted toward my body.

On seeing this sight, I knew my time was already up. Even some extraordinary magicians could not survive this kind of attack.

Abruptly, the ice spikes suddenly dissolved into water particles before falling to the ground.

Miss Tasha, I called out happily after seeing her. If not for her, he would have already been dead. But, after witnessing her moves, he realized most ice magicians above her level would find it hard to defeat her because of her water element.

Rick, you can leave now. I have already dealt with the rest, said Miss Tasha as she converted all the water droplets into huge ice fists.

Wait, I shouted. If the man got hit by those ice fists, he wouldn't even survive the first one so, how could he withstand about seventy?

Why? She asked me with a confused look. They were trying to claim their lives and now he was asking her to be merciful.

Ignoring her question, Rick went up to the man who was semi-paralyzed because of the shock he received after seeing so many ices fists.

Who sent you guys? Rick asked as he looked at the man roughly. He was trying not to be merciful with the man who tried to kill him seconds ago.

It was---was Ben, he stammered. The strength the two of them had shown was extremely terrifying. Been had told him that his target was just in level eleven besides where did this woman come from?

If this was the boy's mother, he would not try to do anything stupid besides, his life was already in their hands.

Been, Rick murmured. He should be wary of him from now on. Who would have believed him if he told them Ben sent assains after him?

Ben, Miss Tasha let out looking a bit perplexed. Although she was aware of the enmity between Ben and Tom, she was quite shocked when she learned the assains were sent by Ben.

I don't think his clan is involved, I told her after noticing her confused look. Any normal person would have also linked Ben's behavior with his clan but that was not the case since they had to maintain their reputation.

Anyway, since he is no longer useful to us, why don't you kill him? With that, Ben will know that we are stronger than him so he won't assign an assassin to kill him for a while.

On hearing the word, the man burst into tears. Ben had told them before they left that he was not responsible for their actions and won't mind killing them if they failed.

Sure, Miss Tasha replied to me as she began to create bigger ice fists.

Please don't, he continued to beg for mercy. He didn't want to die at such a young age. He was only twenty-three yet he was about to get killed. He would rather cooperate with them rather than get killed.

What if I work for you? He asked desperately.

How can you work for us? I asked. Although it would be nice to see Ben's servant betray him, he could not trust him blindly else, he might fall into a trap.

Miss Tasha, take him to the military base in the city and force him to sign a contract that way, if he betrays us he will die, Rick told Miss Tasha.

Hey, where are your manners? She asked him angrily. A kid was ordering her about like she was a slave, what was he thinking? She could easily beat him up.

Alright, can you take him to the military base please? Rick asked politely this time. He still needed Miss Tasha's help so he could not afford to offend her.

Fine, she answered him before resuming "don't you think you should start going home now?".

Shit, he mumbled as he began to pick up his pace.
