Assassination System

Juliet casually strolled away from the Waga Pavilion, her countenance and movements looked relaxed and fluid. It was as if an upheaval never happened inside the Waga Pavilion.

Zieve turned towards Juliet, his expression remained indifferent yet his mind and heart were disturbed about the changes happening within Juliet.

When he first met the latter, she was just a naive young girl that only wanted the company of someone other than her parents, yet after her menarche, she suddenly became so fierce and as thorny as flowers.

However, Zieve couldn't deny her leadership capabilities. The fact that she could become so composed and terrifying yet sweet and adorable at the sametime made Zieve heave a sigh of relief, 'Fortunately we're at the same side. Or else, I can't even imagine going against someone like her...' He mumbled as a shiver went down his spine.

Arriving at the Dreamy House Headquarters, Juliet gathered the Internal Audit Team and Production Management Team, handing out pouches of Spirit Stones to their hands, she said.

"Send a subordinate of yours in each team, make them personally buy out the Mortal Ingredients that we need such as the Garlic. Convert these Spirit Stones into gold coins and try to bargain if necessary. The more that you can buy, the better."

"Internal Audit Team, all of you manage the incoming orders, prioritize the merchants within the inner regions of the Entertainment Block, as for outside the Entertainment Block, reduce their supply for now so we can keep our stockpile."

Zieve felt incredibly useless as Juliet's business partner, within under a minute. Juliet dished out numerous vital commands that would keep their shortages at bay. After the disciples disappeared from her sight. Juliet's body wobbled as Zieve hurriedly supported her from behind.

"You did well, Juliet..." Zieve honestly praised, a small smile of appreciation leaked on his lips. In such a petite body contained wisdom and guts that he could never hope to overtake.

"Thank you, Zieve. But we're just starting. Until we manage to crush the Imperial Clan's influence within the Academy, we shall not completely rest..." Juliet replied with a smile and stabilized her body.

"Juliet, can you tell me why you're that hell-bent on destroying the Imperial Clan's influence within the Academy? I know that they're a despicable bunch of bastards but I don't think that your motive is completely because of that..." Zieve asked and Juliet stared at him for a moment before saying.

"Zieve, I am someone that remembers grudges and gratitude. Since he dared to poach the members of the Dreamy House so blatantly right before our eyes and even mocked you, saying that you're a waste. Why should we forgive them? That's something that Mama told me about, I never understood it at first but when Rodger came. I finally realized."

Juliet shook her head and smiled bitterly, "In this world, unless one establishes his or her strength, they could easily be bullied by someone above them in status or power. If you don't wanna get bullied, one should man up and tough everything out. Only an ironclad hand could banish all obstacles."

Zieve didn't know what to say. Juliet's words made him realize something. And that was he lived in this world with a naive mindset. He thought that as long as he went with the flow, everything would eventually solve itself.

Juliet's mindset of going against the flow and standing by herself unlocked something within Zieve's mind. With his body trembling, Zieve lifted his head and stared at Juliet with a renewned light within his eyes.

"Thank you for everything, Juliet. You made me realize something. I will go into secluded meditation now..." He clasped his hands together in respect as if she was his teacher. Bowing deeply and amidst Juliet's astonished eyes, Zieve turned around and walked towards his room with a newfound resolve burning within his heart.

Left alone inside the vast hall. Juliet swept her gaze throughout the entire pavilion. Her eyes gleamed with unknown emotions, she wanted to achieve independency and acquire enough money that she and her mother wouldn't starve like what happened back at the Empire of Dawn for dozens of generations.

Now that she acquired her goal, it was at that moment that she realized that behind success was a trove of enemies. Both Jealousy and Greed of humanity made her a target of those influences lurking within the Academy.

If she didn't consolidate her position soon, her Dreamy House may crumble and everything along with her beloved subordinates would be devoured by the wolves within the Academy.

Flicking her wrist, a jade table and chair appeared as Juliet prepared some snacks for hersel. Sipping her tea, a moan of pleasure and delight echoed out of her throat as she munched on snacks with puffed cheeks. Bread and cookie crumbs fell off her mouth and stained her robe yet she didn't mind, since she was the only one inside the hall.

Why would she try her best to keep her image?

Lifting her knees, she huddled her small frame on her chair. Her left hand lifted her tea cup while her right held her cookies as a blissful expression emerged on her face.

"Aaaah, I really missed the tea parties that I had with Papa and Mama..." Whenever Juliet thought of Dan and her mother, Natalie and Grace, a delightful smile always spread on her face as she longed for the carefree days that she enjoyed when she was still a child.

Amidst Juliet's enjoyment and daydreaming, the dual entry door of the hall burst open as the former hurriedly arranged her robes and deposited the snacks and tea inside her Spatial Ring. Staring ahead in displeasure, she said in a somber voice.

"Who dares to blatantly barge inside the Dreamy House's Pavilion?!" Her cultivation base rotated and coldness swept across the pavilion.

"M-M-Madaam Juliet..." A weak feminine voice echoed ahead of Juliet and her eyes widened in shock when she saw dozens of women clad in ragged clothing approaching her with relief and excitement visible on their faces.

Purple and red bruises riddled their bodies and the dust that covered their bodies hid their countenance. They looked so dirty that if not for the fact that they had the Dreamy House's badges on their left chest, the guard wouldn't even permit them to enter the Dreamy House Pavilion's premises.

"Y-Y-You guys... Daisy! What happened to you guys?!" Juliet rushed in panic as she flicked her wrist, sending dozens of medicinal pills into the mouths of the distraught girls. Upon receiving the medicinal pill, they all collapsed in exhaustion as Juliet walked towards the eldest of the group and questioned.

"Daisy, what happened to you guys? Weren't you with the Imperial Clan's General Merchandises?!" Witnessing the genuine concern and franticness drawn over Juliet's visage. Daisy and her fellow sisters couldn't help but choke up and cry.

Their cries were heartbreaking and Juliet's eyes turned watery. Daisy gulped a mouthful of saliva and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart as she replied with a trembling voice.

"I-I-It's Sir Rodger... H-H-He violated us!"

Daisy's reply intensified their sorrowful cries as Juliet's eyes widened in shock, complex emotions flared on her expression, along with wrath, hatred and sorrow.

"M-M-Madaam?" Daisy realized that the air around the pavilion turned cold and that Juliet's body became surrounded with the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.

Normally, a cultivator could easily suppress their own cultivation but under extreme stress, anger or sorrow, that limiter may come off, manifesting as an aberrant energy that could injure the cultivator.

Juliet emerged from her trance and the Spiritual Energy that surrounded her body dissipated into nothingness. Taking a deep breath, her expression went cold and Daisy along with her fellow sisters became nervous.

'Juliet wouldn't throw us away, right?' They thought in their hearts. But after the previous betrayal that they did for the sake of their own benefits, it wouldn't be strange that Juliet wouldn't shelter them.

This realization intensified their cries as their shoulders trembled. Daisy hung her head low, she knew that she didn't have the right to demand any sort of respite from Juliet, yet she still staked on the sliver of chance that Juliet may pity them in her heart.

"What are you guys thinking? I am not so heartless to kick you guys when you're down. After all, we spent quite a long time together and I still have a heart..." Juliet beamed with a kind smile. Daisy and her fellow sister stared at her brilliant smile and they felt bitter within their hearts.

If they never betrayed Juliet and stayed at her side, they would inevitably share her success.

Betraying someone whose heart could be as kind as an old auntie and as ruthless as a conqueror, they regretted all of their actions as Daisy crumbled on her knees and sobbed as loudly as she can.

After they calmed down Juliet took some clothes from her Spatial Ring and ordered the maidservants to clean their bodies as her previous subordinates hung their heads low in embarrassment. Walking away from the hall, they furtively glanced at Juliet with gratitude shining in their eyes.

Once alone inside the vast hall, Juliet tightly clenched her fists and the hall became filled with cold air along with a dense black mist that emerged from her body. Her Blessing of the Lightning God subconsciously circulated, bringing with it a gloomy air that gradually filled the entire hall.

The Blessing of the Lightning God was a demonic cultivation method and those cultivating were bound to be influenced by the negative energies within the mantras of the cultivation method.

Juliet could normally suppress these desires, but Rodger's cruelty and the sorrowful fate of her previous subordinate awakened the anger and bloodlust that resided deep within her heart.

Crackle!

Lightning crackled and sparks of dark lightning surrounded Juliet's figure as the air turned incomparably dense due to the black mist. Screams of agony and the anguish cries of damned souls reverberated from the black mist which constantly assaulted Juliet's mind.

A bracelet made of beads constantly sent waves after waves of milky-white light that purified the approaching black mist as Juliet spoke with pure anger and suppressed fury.

"I-I-Imperial Clan... I never bothered about you guys in the first place but you constantly provoked and made troubles for me... From now on, we're irreconcilable!"

She spat these venomous words and the Blessing of the Lightning God reversed, swallowing the black mist back into her body, the pavilion's temperature went down and it felt like nothing even happened in the first place.

Yet, if one looked clearly within Juliet's eyes.

They could see desires that looked almost like an obsession.

It was the desire to annihilate the Imperial Clan!
