Assassination System

When everyone heard the news of the duo's departure, their expression darkened and all of them inwardly cursed Dan's attitude.

"How could they leave us when we're struggling? They know that we need their power, yet they left us when we're down..." The men murmured at each other, while Caitlyn shook her head and said, "It's fine, It's fine, people live for benefits and since there are no more benefits with him staying with us, it would be much better for him to leave..."

"But Miss Boss..." The men groaned, but when they saw Caitlyn's dark expression, they became silent as they inwardly swore that they would definitely make the two pay a price for running away while they're down.

"Calm down. Instead of hating them, we should be grateful since he took the effort in removing a mole right under our eyes..." Caitlyn said, and the anger of the men, slightly dissipated.

"But Miss Boss, how should we proceed now since we lost the support of a Divine Arts User?" Someone commented and Caitlyn mused for a moment since the weapons that they obtained as spoils of war was enough to arm themselves for the upcoming offensive that they would launch, it could be said that they still stood a chance in defeating the Fierce Bulls Gang.

But even so, if they could not defeat them, it's fine as long as they could make them a heavy price.

To prevent a war of attrition between Gangs, The three leaders of the first-tier Gangs decreed that if two second-tier Gangs engaged in a war with each other. It should be done in turns and surrender should be permissible.

The war would first start with the challenging side as the attacker. The attacker's objective was to kill the enemy commander or infiltrate and take their flag inside their Hall.

If they succeeded, they could annihilate the enemy gang and take their territory for themselves, but if they failed, they would be forbidden from launching another attack. And they could only wait until their enemy launches their own assault.

When Dan heard this piece of information in exchange for some silver coins that Dan received from Charlotte, his expression flickered, 'Those bastards really take these kinds of conflicts as a game. To think that they would devise such a policy...'

He inwardly thought.

However, since the Gang members were human, that means that they have the tendency to provoke the rules or even ignore it. But thanks to the Formation that encompassed the entire Bazaar that acted as a God, one wouldn't dare to challenge the rules even if they were given a Lion's Gut.

'But still, the enemy's flag, eh..." Dan cupped his chin with his left hand and Charlotte interrupted at the side, "Ermmm, Dan, can we rest for a moment?" Dan turned at her and found that her expression looked somewhat fidgety and nervous.

"What's wrong?" He asked, but when he saw her covering her backside with both of her hands, his expression flickered as he remembered the matter that he asked Caitlyn earlier in the day.

With the help of silver coins, Dan managed to unearth all sorts of valuable information. He didn't expect that an average drunkard knew more knowledge than an information broker.

Because of this, in just a round of questioning, Dan gathered enough information to formulate his own plan. But for now, they strode towards a nearby Inn that looked quite luxurious.

Approaching the Inn, a female attendant greeted them with a smile as Dan raised his hand. But before he could speak, Charlotte interrupted, "One room please, two beds."

She spoke and when Dan glanced at her, he only shook his head and paid the attendant as the two of them entered their room despite the weird gazes of the spectators.

The condition of the room that they acquired didn't look shabby. Although it could not compare to the Inns at the Empire of Eternal Faith; it could still be considered as excellent considering the living condition within the Bazaar.

There were two separate beds inside the room with soft mattresses on top of the beds. A single table could be seen at the center with two chairs at the side. But what made Dan speechless was the phallus-like apparatus displayed between the two beds.

'It seems like I entered a love hotel...' Dan wryly smiled as he watched Charlotte enter the room's bathroom. Soon, sounds of water streaming down the drain echoed and the faint fragrance of a maiden along with the smell of rust wafted in the air.

Dan remembered the matter of a fabric and he called upon an attendant who stared at him with a peculiar gaze when she heard his request. Dan asked for an absorbent fabric and since she knew that both of them were men, the fabric would only serve one purpose.

However, she still displayed her professionalism and didn't bother about it anymore since a stranger's sex life wasn't something that she cared about. Handing over a fabric, she bowed and Dan walked towards the door of the bathroom.

Knocking on it, he said, "Charlotte, I managed to get a free absorbent fabric from the Inn. Here, take it..." Charlotte's figure steamed in embarrassment when she heard his words, but she still opened the doors of the bathroom, albeit slightly and took the fabric from his hands.

She didn't expect that her female days would come this early in the month, and she was completely caught off guard since the valuables that she had to counter this issue was lost when she fought that Necromancer.

Fortunately, Dan was a man that understood her circumstances and when he handed over that piece of fabric, she earned her respect and admiration. Especially when he also had quite a combat prowess along with a constant air of security that enveloped his figure.

Unbeknownst to her, a seed of deep admiration started blooming within her heart as she continued on her business.

Meanwhile, Dan who laid on the bed started formulating a plan. According to the information that he gathered from those drunkards. Each Gang Region had a protective barrier that would defend them from the attacks of the opposing Gang.

That was the reason why the defending team, the Tyrannical Jollibee Gang didn't suffer that many injuries at that engagement.

The reason why they used explosives since it was the only way that they could use to dissipate the barrier. But unfortunately for them, Dan had the power of Modern Weaponry that ancient explosives like what they used could never contend against.

When the duo finished their bath, the two of them went to sleep. But before they could slip off to dreamland, another fierce explosion echoed out before being drowned out by the Sound Isolating Formation embedded on the walls of their room.

But Dan didn't return to sleep. Instead, the two of them sneaked away from their Inn and sped towards the area where the Tyrannical Jollibee Gang started their offensive.

Jumping atop a roof, they could see the entire battlefield as Dan thought, 'Why did they start their attack this soon?' He clicked his tongue, and gripped Charlotte's wrist, "Charlotte, since Caitlyn has started her attack, we will also back them up. However, since your Divine Arts is a trump-card, it should not be revealed for now..."

"Back them up? If I'm not going to use my Divine Arts, what should I do?" Charlotte stared at him in confusion and Dan patiently explained, "According to the rules of Gang Wars, as long as the other side managed to obtain the Flag of their enemy, it could be considered as their win since the Formation of their Region would disappear..."

Charlotte thought about his words for a moment before staring at him with a light of comprehension within her eyes, "Could it be that..."

"Yes..." Dan nodded, "So stay here and wait, I can't have you reveal your might or else we would attract more trouble than benefits..."

He stared at her and found that her expression looked reluctant and indignant. As a member of the Paradyne Clan, Charlotte possessed a competitive spirit and these kinds of battle hyped her out, the most.

Being left out from the fun made her somber as Dan ruffled her hair and chuckled, "Don't worry, since the enemy is so daring to declare war on us, that means that they also have their own trump card, and I assure you that their trump card is definitely another Divine Arts user..."

When she heard his words, Charlotte sighed as her eyes burned with passion. Witnessing her ignited flair, Dan nodded his head in satisfaction, but before he could turn around, Charlotte pulled him as she said, "Take care...I will be waiting for you here..."

"Yeah, I'll be going now, " Dan snickered and his figure leaped on a roof after roof as he eventually reached the border of the protected region. The reason why he looked, so enthusiastic, was because of a system notification that floated in the air before him.

[Quest Name: Fierce Bulls Extermination Line]

Dismissing the Quest Log, Dan took his weapons out and stared at the distant tower that indicated the center of the Fierce Bulls Territory.
