The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Finally, the event came to an end.

A host in a black suit came to the stage and began his final speech.

Specifically, it counted the achievements of Black Scorpion in the previous year and then praised several top-ranked killers.

Just when the gorilla thought that they were about to reach the final stage, the host said that there would be a lottery.

The gorilla was about to lose his temper, but when he heard the host say that the lowest participation prize was a two thousand yuan shopping card, he put down his glass, took out his mobile phone and started to actively participate.

It's free stuff, not shameful.

Finally, the gorilla looked at the shopping card in his hand and felt bored.

At this time, the winner of the first prize and the specific prize are being announced.

The prize was a black dagger of exquisite texture, inlaid with a shiny black gem, which was more artistic than practical.

The person who won the first prize was a young man who looked very ordinary.

The gorilla looked at the first prize winner on the stage with a strange look on his face.

"This person is so strange, I don't think I have seen him before. I didn't expect that there was no shady manipulation in this competition, and the first prize was not predetermined... That's right, they also look down on this prize..." thought the gorilla.

On stage, the host handed the black gem dagger to the ordinary young man and then asked, "As the winner of the first prize, this killer codenamed Five Six Seven, what do you think about it?"

The ordinary young man looked very excited, with a flush on his face.

He picked up the microphone and began to speak: "First, I want to thank my close friend Jie Li. Without him, I wouldn't be standing here accepting the award with my current look. Secondly, I want to thank the leader of the organization. Without him, there wouldn't be today's annual meeting. And..."

Li Xuan on the podium thanked a lot of people proudly and thanked all the names on the list.

The host next to him was able to maintain a professional smile at the beginning, but as time went on, his smile became more and more stiff.

As Li Xuan called out more and more names, the host soon felt something was wrong. It seemed like this kid was here to steal his job. Otherwise, why would he remember so many names? Was it fun?

Li Xuan gradually got into the groove, spouting off various expressions of gratitude, but was quickly interrupted by the host: "Five, six, seven, that's enough. We're just going through the motions."

"Wait a minute, I'll be done soon!" Li Xuan turned off the host's microphone and continued speaking:

"The last person I want to thank is Gorilla. Although he is unknown and his code name is so abstract, without him, there would be no organization today! It is because of his silent dedication and the completion of the organization's mission that the organization has a bright future!"

After saying that, Li Xuan pointed to the gorilla in the corner where the situation was unclear.

At this time, the gorilla looked around blankly.

No, who is this guy? I've never even met him. Although he speaks very nicely.

"Gorilla? Why does our organization have such an abstract code name?"

"That's not right. I remember these codes were sealed. How come they're being used again?"

"I remember now, there is indeed an 'old man' still using this code name. He is the last one, and after that we will use ordinary code names for the new killers!"

As the killers on the scene began to search, the name of the gorilla quickly spread throughout the venue.

Of course, it's not a good name.

"Oh my god, I remember that the killers from that batch either got new code names or were killed. I didn't expect there's still one left alive."

Almost everyone at the scene turned their attention to the gorilla. Their eyes were full of mockery, which made the gorilla feel very uncomfortable.

"Just wait, everyone. Once I'm fully awakened, this codename will be history. And you, Five, Six, Seven. Once I awaken, I'll make you pay!"

The gorilla lowered his head and could only fantasize in his mind.

The host finally fixed the microphone in his hand and was about to scold Li Xuan when he heard Li Xuan's voice coming from the microphone: "Okay, that's all I have to say. I hope everyone can remember my kindness."

After leaving such strange words, Li Xuan flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The host looked at the empty spot where Li Xuan had just stood and said in shock, "What a fast speed... Could it be that another assassin organization is here to cause trouble?"

Li Xuan's sudden disappearance made all the killers present feel a chill.

Because just now, when Li Xuan was giving a speech, they really wanted to go up and kill this talkative young man.

But now, all they can do is feel lucky that they are not a grumpy person.

The leader, who was firmly in his position, did not react violently. He simply said calmly, "Go on. Don't worry about him. He's probably sent by another organization to cause trouble."

"Killer codenamed Gorilla, you will be the first to awaken. Come on stage." The leader continued.

The flattered gorilla pointed at himself in disbelief, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing next to the awakening stone covered with a red cloth.

The host's professionalism helped him quickly get over his shock.

"Very good. As the first reserve awakener to take the stage, you will have the opportunity to lift the red veil from front to back. Don't hesitate, reveal the true appearance of the awakening stone!"

The gorilla, with trembling hands, grabbed the red cloth covering his awakening and slowly lifted it up.

The host set the mood: "It looks like our first Awakener of the day is about to be born. I hope he can give us a good start!"

As the red cloth was opened, a white plastic takeout box appeared underneath.

The host said in a strange tone, "Huh? It seems that this year's Awakening Stone has an extra layer of protection. Haha, isn't that a bit unnecessary?"

When the gorilla saw such a familiar thing, the taut string in his head broke.

"No, no! That's not right! It shouldn't be like this!" The gorilla covered his face and looked through his fingers at the plastic box in front of him.

The host felt that his hosting career was about to end. Hosting a killer organization, so many accidents happened. He might even lose his life.

Nervously, he took out his handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

When the killers below the stage saw the takeout box, they immediately thought it was a joke played by their leader.

But after seeing the gloomy expression of the leader on the high seat, he immediately suppressed his laughter and thought about the saddest thing in his life to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

At this time, the leader said: "Come, take this madman away and replace him with a new awakening stone!"

As soon as a few staff members in black suits stepped onto the stage, the gorilla flashed to the takeaway box at lightning speed.

While saying "No! No!", he reached out to open the takeaway box.

Awakening is his hope for the future and the psychological support that allows him to survive in this dark dungeon.

But at such an important moment, he saw the bomb container used in the previous mission. The continuous emotional fluctuations and such a strong sense of shock made his thinking confused.

I can no longer control my actions.

The moment he opened the takeaway box, white light burst out from it.

In the blink of an eye, the Black Scorpion's organization guild was completely wiped out from the land of Paradise City, leaving nothing behind.

Li Xuan, not far away, was fiddling with the Black Scorpion Guild's sole relic. He shook his head and sighed, "I told you to be grateful for my mercy. You assassins wanted to kill me just now, but I still read out your names before you died. I'm truly too merciful."

"Should we clean up a few more evil places like this?" Li Xuan thought so and turned to leave.

……

On the high tower in the central area, the clown who had just returned took off his coat and changed into casual clothes with the help of the maid.

He came to his seat, took off the clown mask on his face, took a sip of his cherished red wine, and looked down at his city.

After handing the wine glass to the maid next to him, he asked in a magnetic voice: "How is the newcomer?"

The maid bowed her head and replied, "After reading the information, I headed straight for the Black Scorpion's headquarters and have now infiltrated them."

The Joker shook his head. "A killer organization ranked so low really doesn't need to exist. They let an outsider in so easily. If anyone knew about it, they'd think the guild headquarters was a clubhouse open to the public."

"I just don't know what kind of fun this newcomer can bring to me?" The clown looked towards the South District with interest.
