? 'Nux, we have a guest.' While Nux was sitting in his room with his eyes closed, trying to raise his Mastery over his Spells, he heard Thyra's voice. 'Who is it?' Nux questioned without opening his eyes. 'Someone you would like to meet.' Thyra smiled. Nux opened his eyes. Then, he scanned the entire Clan base and soon, a smile appeared on his face. 'I am coming.' He replied and then, he disappeared and appeared right next to Thyra. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 Seeing him just randomly appearing out of thin air like that without any Portal or something like that, Thyra didn't react, she just walked towards him and smiled. The other woman in the room, however, was surprised. 'This was what he used to get away from me back then.' Rune recalled how Nux got away from her grasp back then. Of course, she had no clue that what Nux used back then was a different ability. With the addition of [Core], Nux now had a bunch of abilities that makes it almost impossible to catch him. It is to a level that even for a Divine Stage Cultivator, his abilities are unfathomable. He could use Harem's Gate to directly teleport near any of his wives, then there was Blink Fault that pulls him into another dimension and teleports him to the opponent when the opponent blinks, then there is Core, which could help him cover large distances as long as the place he wanted to visit is marked. With these three abilities combined, Nux was literally unstoppable. The only way to get rid of him was to kill him in one move, if the opponent tries to capture him or lets his guard down, Nux would simply get away. "We are meeting sooner than I expected, Lady Rune." Nux spoke with a small smile on his face as he glanced at the mesmerizing white-haired, green-eyed beauty with adorable cat-like ears standing in front of him. "You have your abilities to blame for that," Rune replied. "Oh?" Nux raised his eyebrow, then, a playful smile appeared on his face as he questioned, "Are you saying that I impressed you?" "Your abilities are impressive indeed, not just your abilities, the way you carry yourself is quite impressive as well. I doubt there is an Emperor Stage Cultivator who can teleport into a room with 2 enemy Saints and still act nonchalant about it. From the start to finish, even when I appeared behind you and pointed a dagger at your neck, you didn't lose your calm. It was as if you had already calculated everything and we just played right into your plans like fools." Rune replied. "You overpraise me, Lady Rune." Nux chuckled. "That's not an overpraise, I am only saying what I actually feel." A playful smile appeared on Nux's face as he commented, "It feels like you are hitting on me, Lady Rune." Rune frowned, she glanced at Nux's playful face and shook her head, "You can rest assured, I am not hitting on you or anything like that. I have no such intentions in my heart." "That hurts." Nux pouted. Then, he sighed dramatically, "Would I have to be the one to pursue everyone? Why can a woman not make the first move?" "I have no clue what you are talking about." Rune commented with a confused look on her face. Nux glanced at her for a while, then, he stopped playing around. Rune's reactions were not entertaining enough. "So, why are you here, Lady Rune?" Nux questioned. Seeing that he has finally gotten serious, Rune nodded a little, then, "I came here to formally put on a request for ExceedoGenesis's Mission Hall and hope that the ExceedoGenesis would accept the Mission I am going to give out." Rune spoke. Hearing those words, Thyra and Nux frowned. And when Thyra informed what was happening here to other women, they all appeared inside the room through the portals as well. Rune was taken aback by their sudden entrance, however, Nux's question grabbed her attention, "What kind of Mission?" "Protection Mission." "Who do we have to protect?" Nux questioned with a curious look on his face. "Me." Rune replied. "…" "…" The entire room fell silent. A Saint Stage Cultivator… was asking a Middle-Level Clan for protection… Just what in the hell was happening here…? Nux couldn't understand… Honestly, Rune was a Master Assassin herself, killing her was close to impossible unless the killer is a Divine Stage Cultivator, and honestly, no Divine Stage Cultivator makes a move so easily. "This is the most recent Mission the Shadow of Silence received," Rune spoke as she passed on a paper to Nux. Nux held the paper and started reading the contents, It was an Assassination request. And the target was none other than Rune. Nux glanced at Rune and couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't you be much safer if you stayed with your father? I doubt any Assassin Hall would dare to make a move if he is protecting you." "It seems you have done a background search on me," Rune commented. "Well, the fact that Lady Eisheth and Rislith seemed to know you made me curious," Nux replied. "I do not blame you, I have done the same before coming here. However, you are wrong, for reasons, I cannot go to my father." "Then why don't you seek assistance from the Top Clans? I highly doubt it is because you lack the resources to do so. Don't you think they would be a lot more suitable for this than us, who are barely a middle-level clan right now?" "I cannot do that as well." "Why?" Nux narrowed his eyes. "Well, that is what you will have to figure out. That would be your test, if you managed to find my reason, I will be sure that my choice of choosing you is the correct one, and if you fail to do so, then it would mean that I overestimated you and I need to find someone else." "A test…?" Nux raised his eyebrow. "Yes, a test. You have a month to figure things out." Rune replied as she sipped on the tea that was served to her with a calm look on her face. "Lady Rune, I think you are forgetting something." Suddenly, Nux spoke up.
