Chapter 21Following elder Lotus' order, the assembly is put to an end.Sakarem's face looking sour because of Joan, who was stated as innocent, makes He cannot help but be forced to accept that the French man isn't related to Raisen's death.'Was I being impatient?' Sakarem thinks of his failure in the assembly as he walks to his personal office. 'No, my plan is perfect! Raisen's sudden death should be enough to eliminate Joan from the Black Circle. If it were not for that lowly paid-assassin, my plan would work out.'He is busy cursing Light and doesn't feel any presence behind his back.Slash!!Blood splatters on the ground while Sakarem is groaning painfully."Argh... my arm! My arm! Who dares cut my hand? Just you wait, I'm going to kill you and whoever you worked with, you son of the bitch!""It's been a long time, elder Sakarem." A woman's voice greets Sakarem.He looks back to see the owner of the voice. "Y-you c

Chapter 23 Joan wasn't sure about the fact that Selina was able to eliminate Sakarem and Lia Chen easily; "Sure, Selina might have learned everything from your little brother, but did he teach her experience against Lia Chen in a specific way?" "No, he didn't-" "What makes you so sure that Selina has killed Lia Chen by now?" Joan, who is not convinced by Gary's speculation, cuts off the conversation when his friend is trying to give the answer to the French man’s previous question. "As an elder, you should be ashamed of having no patience." Gary complains to Joan for cutting in. "Experience cannot be thought, but your secrets and specialties can be shared. Taking aside Shadow and Light, Selina must have heard the administrators' specialties fro

Chapter 25 Light is itching to mess with Josh, seeing how he has a private talk with Lotus, "C’mon, don’t be shy and tell us what your team has found." Josh once again sneaks a glance at Lotus, hinting at help from the elder to escape from Light’s games. "You are mistaken, elder Light." Lotus speaks to avoid suspicion. "Josh was just whispering the news he got from the search team." Light’s smile is getting wider because of Lotus’ words. "Don’t waste any time and tell us that news, Josh." Lotus has no choice but to give Josh the order to share what the search team sees in Lia Chen’s office. If she comes up with another excuse, it will make her look more suspicious in the eyes of other administrators.

Chapter 27"The administrators are currently in chaos, facing the unacceptable truth that three elders have already deceased in a relatively short time.""I can't believe that the rumors about Black Circle's dispatching their elite team were true." said Yelena, shocked."What kind of rumor did you hear?"Selina has spent the last few days focusing solely on devising the perfect plan for her vengeance, paying little attention to the underground information.Yelena leans closer to Selina, "Several assassins are heading to the north area. It was said that they were collecting an administrator’s dead body. I believed it was just a baseless rumor, nevertheless your presence here has confirmed that rumor to be true."

Chapter 29 Thomas has been taken to a suite room within Black Circle, where a doctor is keeping an eye on his condition. The doctor is busy this morning re-evaluating Thomas' latest condition after his surgery went well. "Elder Lotus, I have to say, this man is quite lucky to be alive after losing so much blood. Thus, allowing him to rest is the best option we have; at the very least, we can wait until he is strong enough to be interrogated." "I agree with you, doctor Ian," said Lotus, who was still skeptical. "For the time being, the interrogation can be postponed. I'd also like to thank you on behalf of Black Circle for your valuable time." "There is no need to be exaggerated; it's part of my job, after all." The doctor switches his gaze to Lotus. "But if I may ask, just what happened to this man to be walking around with such a horrible injury like this?" “I am afraid we have to wait until Thomas regains his consciousness, doctor. He is the only one who can give you an explana
