Chapter 520 Golden Knife Street

Chapter 520 Golden Knife Street

"Master!"

In the vast yard, thirty well-dressed servants greeted their master loudly and bowed deeply in respect.

At the front gate of the yard, the carriage's door opened, and a blond-haired man stepped out with a cold look on his face.

He was dressed fancifully as if he had just returned from a royal banquet, and then he entered the yard with long, steady steps. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

While bowing deep in respect, the servants kept calm expressions, but few of them sweated because of the pressure their master, Zane, was emitting.

It was like standing in the presence of a powerful king, and they couldn't help but feel the weight of the insane pressure on their shoulders.

Zane left behind the yard and entered the house, ignoring all the fancy decor that must've cost millions and instead heading straight to his bedroom.

After arriving at the bedroom, he locked the door and sat on the edge of his bed, not speaking a word.

"Anything suspicious?" He spoke into the empty air in front of him.

At that moment, five black-suited individuals appeared out of thin air and surrounded the bed he was sitting on. They were flickering in and out of existence as if they were holograms.

"No, master." They spoke in unison, as if they were one person. "The place has been secured."

"I see." Zane said it coldly. "Continue keeping an eye on this place. I've seen the church snooping around lately."

"Yes, master." The five individuals responded in unison and also bowed at the exact time.

At that moment, they disappeared just as fast as they disappeared, leaving Zane alone in his fancy, expensive-looking room.

Zane tugged his tie and loosened it around his neck until it was dangling carelessly.

He then unbuttoned his overshirt and his cuffs, revealing a slight tattoo on his forearm that was still covered with the sleeve of his dress shirt.

"Mhm..." He rubbed the back of his neck as if he were having some neck pain.

Then he stood up from the edge of the bed, moved his head around slightly, and let out a small groan because of the small neck pain he was having.

And then he moved slowly to the bathroom to get some pain relief cream.

After applying it to his neck, he felt instant relief and decided to lay back down on the bed.

He slowly closed his eyes to get a long-awaited rest, but at that same moment, five individuals returned to the room like ghosts from the afterlife and bowed in apology.

"What." Zane opened his eyes in irritation.

"We've received some concerning news." They said it in unison.

"What?" Zane sat back up and looked at them in annoyance.

If it wasn't something important, he was going to punish them.

"We've received some news from the Slum Graveyard." They said. "A while back, the gravekeeper was killed, and it was thought to be the deed of some slum dwellers.

"However, his body was discovered next to a grave that might be of interest to you."

"Whose?" Zane asked without any interest in the current topic.

"A pathetic worm is still trying to cling onto his life. I wonder what his face will look like once he realizes that he will die no matter what."

...

"This is Golden Knife Street."

Casper said as he overlooked the street that was shaped like a knife, with gold-painted houses making up the blade. It was clearly a place where only the rich and powerful were allowed to live.

"This is it, huh..." Ambrose crossed his arms and asked innocently. "Why are we so far away and not going straight to Golden Knife Street?"

"It would be suicide." Casper said. "There are hundreds of magicians there, acting as guards, and some are living there. We would be discovered in an instant."

Ambrose, of course, knew it, as he was able to sense all the magicians there, and there were indeed powerful magicians, but no one came close to Montgomery's strength.

He would be easily able to enter it undetected and do his assassination.

After a few assassinations, his karma had indeed gone down, but nothing too bad as Falco was basically a saint, making his karma level insanely high.

"Do you see that house?" Casper pointed at the tip of the golden knife, where one house stood out as it was the exact tip of the golden knife.

"Yeah." Ambrose nodded.

"That's Zane's house." Casper said. "It is the most protected house in the entire neighborhood, and he has very powerful guards.

"Going there is impossible task even for me, and especially for you as you don't even know magic.

"So, do you realize how pointless it is to go there?

"I would suggest to take your time to learn magic. After I'll cure your Deathwalking disease, you can spend next years learning everything we can teach you. Then, you can attempt your assassination.

"Going there recklessly is instant death."

'Again the lies.' Ambrose kept calm facade, but was scoffing inwardly. 'There is no cure, so I wonder what Casper is planning.

'He clearly doesn't want me to die for some reason and he especially doesn't want me to go after Zane. I guess this is why he is showing where he is because according to him, it is impossible for me to go for him.'

"I-I guess you're right." Ambrose replied with a slight stutter and asked. "T-then, who was the one who killed me? That might be easier target."

Casper froze for a moment before shaking his head.

"You shouldn't worry about that now. If you see that person someday in the underground town, you might do something impulsive and try to kill him, only to end up dead.

"This is for your own good."

'...' Ambrose stayed quiet, but he was getting pretty annoyed.

'How can I get him tell me who killed me?

'I don't know whether I am Deathwalker, but Casper thinks I am and might try something after the thirty days is almost over.

'I guess I'll have to wait for that.'

Ambrose sighed as it seemed like he was currently stuck in the progession as he couldn't just go and kill Zane either as that would really make Casper suspicious.

'I guess I'll return to Martial Online for now to prepare for the finals of the tournament.'
