Vampire's Slice of Life

Lith was back in the territory of the Senzal Clan. He had formulated a plan to assassinate a given list of people today and get the bounty regarding the same.

The people he was about to assassinate were all below Rank 7 with one exception who was a Rank 9. This was none other than the clan head's nymphomaniac wife.

There were, in total, five people Lith was going to assassinate. The clan was big and there were a lot of members. But these five were one of the most important ones that Lith could assassinate with ease.

The reason being, these five went to places with less security from time to time for various different reasons. It was thus easy to assassinate them.

The others, even though they had good bounty, it wasn't worth the risk. Lith's life would be in danger if he attempted to assassinate anyone apart from these five.

Lith, like before, stayed on a branch near the pond where Vaan came to relax and waited for him.

In just a few minutes, Vaan arrived and sat there on the bench present.

A few more minutes later, a man with a straight and thick moustache, the same as the man who failed in art class around a hundred years back on Earth, walked towards Vaan and sat beside him.

"Vaan, did you visit the island?" The man asked.

Vaan shook his head. "It's risky to do. People recognize me and I can be assassinated. I won't go."_{pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ}

"But that place doesn't have anyone present there and you'll go in a secure manner. Nobody really knows about that place as well." The man said.

Vaan shook his head and said, "still not going." 

"Fine. Then I'll go there myself." The man said and got up to leave.

He was annoyed that the guy didn't do what he asked him to and had to do it himself instead.

After he left Vaan sighed and said softly, "my own uncle is pushing me in the face of danger to have me dead."

The place the man, or rather, Vaan's uncle was asking him to go was too dangerous and was pushing him there for his own safety. Vaan thus didn't agree to go. 

He was Vaan's third uncle. Vaan in total had seven uncles with the clan head being the second uncle. 

The third uncle of Vaan was a selfish man and didn't hesitate even in the slightest to push others off a cliff for his own profit.

Vaan loathed this man._{pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ}

Lith knew about it as well since yesterday Vaan and his aunt had talked about this. This uncle was also the one on Lith's assassination list.

Vaan rested near the pond for a few more minutes and a teenager walked towards him. He appeared to be in his late teens.

The teen greeted Vaan first and had a small chat with him. He seemed very ordinary except for his spiky blonde hair. He was apparently a bastard son of the clan head and was a result of him fooling around with the third wife of the Kenzal Clan's head.

The Kenzal Clan's head obviously got wind of it later and killed his wife with his own hands and was about to kill her son as well but he was saved by the Senzal Clan in time and now lived together with them.

The Kenzal Clan's head, as a revenge, destroyed many businesses of Senzal Clan and had been forever since trying to give a green hat to the Senzal Clan's head but still wasn't successful in doing so.

This bastard son of the Senzal Clan's head was loved by everyone since he, just like Vaan, was also a genius and had the potential to be a King Rank. He could alleviate the status of the clan after he became a King Rank and that would be the best outcome ever for the clan.

Thus, killing this guy provided a good bounty as well. 

The rest of the three people on Lith's assassination list were Vaan, Eian, and the wife of the clan head's wife.

He could kill these three in one go later when they tried to have a threesome again. It was an easy task, less risk, and more rewards._{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

Lith had infiltrated the Senzal Clan this time for the sake of assassinating this spiky blonde guy here. He hardly ever left the clan territory and only roamed at various places in the clan. 

Lith thus had to follow him and assassinate him in a quiet place.

The spiky blonde-haired guy left after talking with Vaan for a few seconds.

Lith left his place as well and followed him quietly.

The guy soon walked inside a small pavilion and walking in the middle, he tapped on a specific tile present there thrice.

A door opened in the middle of the pavilion and the teen walked in.

pAɴᴅᴀɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ Lith wondered what was inside and whether it was worth the risk to follow him in or not.

After thinking for a bit, he decided to take the risk. He had a teleportation token with him and also a protective artifact. Even if things went wrong, he wouldn't be hurt much.

Lith had a dark invisibility spell cast on him and wasn't seen by others. He sneaked inside the door quietly and as he entered, he saw a well lit staircase going downwards.

Lith walked carefully and finally reached a big ball where there was a small platform present with the picture of some lady and incense sticks being lit in front of them.

The spiky haired teen was sitting in front of the picture and meditating.

A vast amount of energy was getting channeled in his body from various artifacts laid inside the walls of the small hall.

‘This place… If I cultivate here, my cultivation is sure to rise by 20%.' Lith was amazed by this place and thought to cultivate here.

But before doing anything, he first checked whether space spells worked here or not. After finding out they did, he became even more confident of things.

He looked at the teen in front of him and thought to himself, ‘my guy, you're gonna die just because I want some money. You probably may have been through a lot but such is life. It's very unfair. I hope you get a good life later in the afterlife.'

Lith felt no remorse for the guy that was about to die in his hands. His life didn't matter to Lith. Only the bounty behind him did.

This was very immoral to do but did Lith care?

He didn't.

Lith had everything, beauties, fame, money, resources; you name it, he had it.

But why was he still doing immoral things for just the sake of some spare change?

It was because he wanted to be independent and rely less on his mother.

In his previous life he was almost like an abandoned child and his parents hardly cared about him. He had to thus do many things to survive.

What if, just what if, everything collapsed all at once? What would Lith do then? 

He was just like a young master right now. He had everything given to him and he had little to no skills and life experience. If one day everything were to collapse or simply if his mother and sister were gone, he wouldn't be able to survive on his own in this world.

It was a very cruel world and he would simply be eaten by the bigger fish.

There was also a threat that Lith felt. 

The threat was…
