Chapter 119

Jake moved forward and didn’t allow the man to do suicide . He checked his mouth first for both of them and removed the pill from both of the men, unlike the previous time when he caught Blacktiger .

Jake roared at Dearil as he saw him coming here, "Hey, didn’t I tell you before to take care of that guy, Henry . Where did you leave him?"

Dearil made an irritating face as he rebuked, "Relax, stop your bitching, he is at the headquarters . He won’t be running away anywhere as he is in a coma while my men are guarding him . And it was all your fault that you suddenly gave your baggage to me suddenly and started running off over here as soon as we entered the city . "

The Head Assassin suddenly roared as he got shackled by the policemen, "You guys will go to hell for your sins of engaging with demi-humans and demons . "

Meanwhile, Taylor, Jay and his men arrived here a bit late, Taylor suddenly came to John, "Lord, are you alright? You are bleeding heavily . We are ashamed to not have detected these men over the past few days . "

Taylor continued, "It was all our fault that they seemed good and always helped poor people while not helping the people of other races . Since they never broke any law, we thought it was quite a culture shock to them as they came from Radiant city . "

John then spoke, "It’s okay, I already knew that the Radiant Church had ordered my hit from Prince Lukav . However, he too didn’t know who ordered the hit . "

Joe meanwhile was the first to speak to Marsh as he saw the Templer Assassin, "I always told you that they seemed suspicious as they only helped humans while abhorring demons and other species . "

Marsh slapped Joe’s head as he rebuked, "Hmph . . . , if it weren’t for Alisa that demon girl you like at one of the hotels . And that these guys showed a disgusting look toward her for serving them food, You wouldn’t even have suspected and tailed them while noticing this particularity . "

Marsh then admitted his wrongs as he continued, "Well, you were still quite good at discovering them . I guess your instincts play a good role in detecting these men . I guess I was wrong as I thought you were being too sensitive as it was related to Alisa . "

Jay came to Marsh and spoke, "Pay attention to his notices from now on . You see some people are natural at some things, while some aren’t . Joe is good at detecting these people . "

Marsh nodded as he heard from Jay .

John was the first to order Joe as he heard this conversation, "Joe, you will now be focusing with Jake’s group from now on to increase your combat ability because knowing your nature you would have lost your life if you even got a hint of them being assassins and tailed them seriously for more days . "

Joe showed a happy expression as he asked, "Does that mean no insti . . . "

John and Jay flatly denied as everyone knew about his antics at the institute, "No, you will still be attending the institute and educate yourself until we see fit . "

Joe mourned as he heard them, "But how would I get more time for this new training . "

Jay then shrugged him, "That’s your problem . You have a bigger position so you have a bigger responsibility now . Act according to your position, can’t you see that Lord is promoting you . "

Joe nodded sadly as he couldn’t defy the orders .

John then continued, "Jay, Take both of these men to the classified chambers . We first need to interrogate them and who in the Radiant Church ordered my Hit, I don’t think Bishop Robert would have ordered my hit as he wouldn’t like to Jeopardize our deal . I am quite angry as they targetted me along with Eva . If they don’t speak in 3 days then let me know . "

John moved his gaze to Taylor, " Taylor, go and take a look at Eva if she is alright . "

Taylor nodded and said, "She is alright, Milord . Our men already checked her if she had any injuries earlier . "

Eva with wet eyes came towards John, "I thought you would die today . It was my fault for dragging you down today . I will make sure that I will never be a burden for you . I shouldn’t have followed Grandma and Jeopardize our lives today . "

John sighed as he felt different when he was on the defensive for the first time, "Nah, it wasn’t your fault . I always knew that my enemies would target my friends . I guess they need to be paid in kind from now on . " As John ended up speaking this with a ruthless glint with no hint of sympathy and a little bit of cruelty .

John continued, "Even that Duke Fjord’s Son Evan was targetting Jake’s family . Jay, We will increase the protection of our important officials and their immediate family members . Increase Tornwall’s protection to most priority as I feel Duke Sapphire wasn’t joking when he said that Dwarven kingdom targets the talented dwarves . Just the increase in protection would deter them from trying anything foolish . We are leaving now, scatter the commotion and check if anyone in the civilians are injured because of this chaos . "

Meanwhile, People were gossiping about this incident, "It looks like, this time these assassin’s main target was Lord John, I never knew that Lord John was this strong in combat . From the way these assassins spoke, I think they were Templer Assassins of the Radiant Church . I heard that they always did high profile killings . "

The other guy spoke, "From the way that Templer Assassin is speaking, he seems like a big shot . I wonder if lord will hand him over because of Radiant church’s pressure or make an example out of him . "

"I guess that’s true because today Lord seemed pissed off a lot . This is the first time I have seen Lord this angry . I thought he is someone who is cool-headed . "

"I think this is because this time they targetted Eva as well and hence his anger . "

"Come lets go and inform the elders about this incident . I am sure they will be able to get some news out . "

The crowd dispersed as they gossiped about this incident .

Melanie spoke to Vlad as they were watching this scene from one of the new buildings, "You didn’t go out to help him . Weren’t you worried that they might die? That was a skilled and fast assassin . Even your men weren’t able to locate him . "

Vlad explained, "I guess these men were good at hiding their bloodlust and killing intent . Instead, these guys felt that they were really doing the bidding of God and liberating these men and hence people could not feel any killing intent from them until the moment they hit . I wonder, who ordered John’s assassination at the church this time around . As for them dying, you shouldn’t worry, I know my disciples won’t lose to these guys and would die protecting their friends so you shouldn’t worry much about your Grand-daughter . And isn’t it correct that you too weren’t worried as John was there to protect her . "

Vlad meanwhile smiled as he spoke to Melanie and changed the topic, "Recently I heard that you were abusing your power and made Ryfon make an office near John’s office in the new administrative building . Is that correct?

Melanie tried to explain and changed the topic, "Well it wasn’t abuse of power, it was only shifting of offices . you shouldn’t look much into it as I only want some small great-grandchildren . Well, let’s hurry and check . I wonder if those lunatics created any new poison . Also, I think it would be someone related to the old pope who ordered the hit as they have quite a grudge against you . "

Vlad smiled and spoke, "No need to be a worrywart . Dearil already sent information through the signal that it was the same old poisons used by those men of the church . Old pope? Well quite true, I don’t think anybody over there likes the demons so it can be anyone . "

Melanie then asked Vlad about a matter, "I heard from John that you guys sent Grey to kill that man Sylvan? Is that really needed?"

Vlad shrugged as he explained, "Well, I suggested sending Grey, as that right-hand man of Prince Hector is quite a troublesome man so Jake would be in danger if he faced that man directly . Plus I also think that Prince Hector or that guy Alistair is intentionally baiting John to act and send his important men so he can capture them and get some confidential information while getting the legality to act against him as John tried to assassinate Hector aka Future Potential King . It would be quite problematic politically if Jake is captured additionally Duke Norman’s palace is guarded quite heavily these days . "

Melanie rebuked, "Hmph . . . don’t act . I know you and your men are itching to get some action on those mini ballistas called crossbows or whatever and they are already provided to your men . "

Melanie sighed as she saw John and Eva from far away, "Can’t those men just leave them alone for one day so my plans could succeed . Well, it was still good today as both of them got close via this incident . "
