Chapter 259: A Mistake
"Then why did you bring Awu to the White Tower in the end?"
Lisha asked in confusion.
The White Tower is not a safe place.
It can even be said that the White Tower is the most dangerous place in the entire Endrol continent.
"I guess I'm just unlucky."
Kate looked sad.
"I was only out buying groceries for a short while, but I happened to run into an assassin. He discovered me and wanted to silence me, so I had no choice but to kill him."
"But now that I have taken action, I can't stay there any longer, even if I have tried my best to destroy the body. After all, if someone from the Assassin's Guild is missing, they will definitely send someone to investigate. If the previous person failed and the mission was not completed, we need to help the loser complete the mission."
"But at that time, I was just thinking about finding another remote country town to hide in. Because my identity had not been discovered, I was not worried that the Assassin's Guild would send someone to arrest me or kill me."
"But what I didn't expect was that I actually met an acquaintance in another remote town, a former teammate, a silver-level assassin like me."
"The moment we met, I recognized him and he recognized me. Without any hesitation, the fight started immediately."
"I was the winner in the end, but I was also badly hurt. Because I didn't get timely treatment, my strength gradually declined from Silver Rank to Fine Steel Rank. At this time, Awu became a full-fledged professional. She told me that she wanted to go to the White Tower to take a look."
"I struggled for a long time, but I finally agreed to her request. I know very well that I can't stop an adventurer from taking risks. I also think that although the White Tower area is dangerous, it is actually quite safe in the town. Besides, the White Tower area is full of good and bad people, which can conceal our whereabouts very well."
"Of course, I was also thinking of earning some money in the White Tower to heal my injuries. Unfortunately, my old injuries worsened, and in the end, even moving became difficult. I could only rely on Awu to work hard every day to earn money to buy the lowest-level healing potions to keep me alive."
"In fact, I wanted to give up a long time ago. After all, as a little cat, I am already very old, and many of my kind will not even live to my age. But I still worry about this child Awu. She is too stubborn and has too strong self-esteem. After I leave, she will probably go further and further astray and eventually go astray."
Kate said a lot in one breath, and he picked up the cup of water on the bedside and took a sip of water.
"Is there anything else you want to know? If so, please continue to ask."
"Awu, did you hear everything?"
Ilsa shouted out the door.
The door opened.
Awu walked in with red eyes.
"Awu..."
Kate wasn't surprised by this; he had expected it.
Some of the words were actually said by him for Awu to hear.
His life is almost coming to an end.
That's all we can do.
Awu's expression was complicated. She just stared at Kate for a long time.
"Kate, did you raise me out of guilt?"
"No, I never had those feelings."
Kate never thought of herself as a good person.
He became an orphan at the age of three and entered an orphanage. At the age of five, he was taken to the secret base of the Assassin's Guild to become a reserve assassin. Later, at the age of ten, he killed his first person. Then, when he was seventeen, he met Awu.
The first half of his life can be said to be filled with killing and blood.
Even many of his teammates at the time thought that Kate was a cold-blooded monster because he never shed tears for the death of his companions, nor was he moved by the pleas and wails of the victims.
If the cold-bloodedness of other assassins is a disguise, a disease caused by years of killing, then Kate is born cold-blooded.
The Assassin Mentor at that time was even very optimistic about him, believing that even if Kate could not become a gold-level assassin, she could still take over his position as Assassin Mentor.
But no one expected that when Kate met Awu, he seemed to have regained his feelings and even did something that no one in the Assassin's Guild could have imagined.
The reason why the two silver-level assassins who were killed by him were caught off guard and killed was because they could never imagine that Kate, a natural assassin, would betray the Assassin's Guild.
"The reason for raising you is simple, because you became my daughter."
Kate's voice was steady, without a trace of lies.
There could be many reasons, but this is the only one.
It had nothing to do with guilt or responsibility, it was simply because she became his daughter.
"I am very grateful to you, Awu. Because of you, I understand what the feelings that have troubled me for a long time are. But I didn't raise you for this reason. I just felt that you needed a father, and I also needed a daughter."
"...I don't know who told me when I was five that I was not my biological father."
After hearing what Kate said, Awu's tone became awkward.
But there was concern in her eyes.
"This is the truth, I shouldn't hide it from you."
Lisha and Ilsa held their foreheads in their hands at Kate's words.
Even Olivia was speechless.
All I can say is that Kate does understand what love is, but only a little.
"Just recuperate here for the time being. Don't worry about the Assassin's Guild."
Olivia said to Kate.
"If those guys dare to come here, I will bury them in the shadows forever."
"These guys in the shadows are so annoying, can't they all be dealt with in one go?"
After what happened before, Lisha had a very bad impression of the Assassin's Guild.
“You can’t kill them all.”
Ilsa shook her head.
Those behind the assassins will not let the Assassin's Guild disappear just like that.
There have been crackdowns on Assassins' Guilds in history, but every time the crackdown ended, the Assassins' Guilds would reappear within ten or twenty years.
Even the Adventurer's Guild cannot completely eliminate the Assassin's Guild. After all, assassin is also a profession, and there will always be people who can switch to become an assassin.
So over time, no force was willing to do this thankless task.
"Is the Assassin's Guild really here for Kate?"
Awu, who had been thinking about something just now, suddenly asked Olivia.
"of course not."
Olivia's words made Wu's eyes widen.
"what?!"
"A silver-rank assassin shouldn't be remembered by the Assassin's Guild for so long. The main reason why the Assassin's Guild sent someone here at this time is because of you."
Olivia said as her eyes fell on Awu.
"I?"
Awu was puzzled. What was there about her that was worthy of the Assassin's Guild's attention?
Is it because I have a good talent as an assassin?
"Yes, it's because of you."
Olivia narrowed her eyes.
"You seem to have forgotten that you have an identity."
Ruby Chamber of Commerce!
Lisha, Ilsa, Kate, and Awu remembered the existence of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce almost at the same time.
Chapter 260: Sudden Change
Ruby Chamber of Commerce.
One of the three largest chambers of commerce on the continent of Endrol, and the only giant chamber of commerce that is not backed by any country.
The Patra Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce, is backed by the Patra Empire, which can be seen from its name. And the people who control the Patra Chamber of Commerce are all members of the royal family.
The other of the three major chambers of commerce, the Acorn Chamber of Commerce, was a chamber of commerce jointly organized by elves and giants. It was famous for selling rare items, including many artworks from the elf kingdom and treasures produced by the giants.
The last of the three major chambers of commerce, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, is the most legendary one.
The Ruby Chamber of Commerce had no backing. Its first president made his first fortune by selling rubies. Eventually, through many coincidences and experiences, he brought the Ruby Chamber of Commerce to the position of one of the three major chambers of commerce.
Of course, there are people who covet this huge piece of fat.
But unfortunately, the first president of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce later became a legend, and one of his descendants also became a legend. The appearance of these two legends made those covetous eyes disappear in an instant.
The subsequent presidents of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce were all smart people. They continued the influence of the first president while giving up some of the profits to the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce and some great nobles. This made the position of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce extremely stable, and it remains the same until now.
And just recently, the new president of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce took office.
This is a big deal, something that will be spread everywhere.
Not to mention that the new president is only eighteen years old.
An eighteen-year-old girl becomes the new president of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce.
This sounds ridiculous no matter how you listen.
Yet this is the truth.
The new president of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, Lina Roald, is an upright and youthful 18-year-old beautiful girl. The first thing she did when she took office was to arrest the former president and his five cronies.
And no one in the Hongbao Chamber of Commerce had any objections.
At this time, the new president of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce was looking through the secret documents of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce in his office.
"Dong dong dong!~"
"Enter."
Lina put down the documents in her hand and looked up at the open door.
The person who came in was a beautiful woman in a maid outfit.
She closed the door and spoke to Lina.
"Lady Lina, everything you want is ready."
"Well, I see."
Lina didn't seem to care much about this.
"Zora, did that fat pig confess?"
"No, but one of his confidants said something important, and I think it is necessary to report it to you."
Zora bowed her head and spoke respectfully to her master.
"what's up?"
Hearing Zora say it was an important matter, Lina became a little interested.
"Your sister may still be alive."
As soon as these words came out, Zora felt a terrifying pressure descending upon her.
"Zora, you actually believed this?"
Lina stared at her personal maid expressionlessly. If Zora couldn't give a convincing reason today, she would be punished even if she was her confidant.
"Lady Lina, your sister's body was not found at the time."
Zora continued.
"The room has been burned to ashes, why are you still looking for a body?"
Lina said coldly.
"Your enemy, former guild leader Bigelow, once sent a trusted confidant to find someone from the Assassin's Guild before he was captured by you."
Zora continued.
"Heh~ You're just playing tricks as always."
