265 Chapter 265:- [51 Million job]
“Sir Sarlus wants his son-in-law to be someone who is brave, courageous, strong, and rightful. If someone manages to fulfill all these conditions then there is a chance that person will get the opportunity of marrying the daughter of Duke Sarlus.” Of course, Aditya was making this up. But given Duke Sarlus’s character, he was 100% sure that he would want these qualities in his future son-in-law. There is no way, Sarlus would marry his daughter to a weak coward.
“My brother is courageous and very strong. He is kind to the weak. He perfectly matches the criteria.” Clara said in an excited tone. Seeing this others just smile and did not add any comment. Everyone has to admit that the presence of this little girl in the Dragon Palace has brightened things. Despite losing her parents and being forced to run away from her homeland, Clara’s personality still remained innocent and kind.
This only goes on to show just how much burden Leo was carrying for his sister. No matter how bad the situation got, he didn’t let his sister lose her smile.
“By the way, I have something to inform everyone.” Everyone looked at Julia.
“What is it?”
“Tomorrow, my parents and my little brother are planning to come to the Dragon Palace.”
“Really?” Aditya became the most serious one. This was the first time, Julia’s parents were going to visit them.
“Yes,” Julia confirmed his doubt.
Aditya looked at Watson. The former acting prime minister instantly understood his task and quickly nodded his head. “Don’t worry, your Majesty. I will prepare everything to their liking. Just leave everything to me.” Aditya nodded his head.
“When father and mother will come?”
“Evening.”
“Alright.”
After dinner, Aditya went back to his bedroom. Watson went to make preparation for Julia’s parent’s arrival. Leo, Julia, and Clara went to Clara’s bedroom. From time to time, Julia, Alicia, and Riya help Clara with her homework. Since Leo was going to join the school, Julia was planning on giving him some books which would help him. The half-wolf named Skye also went along with Clara and others.
After dinner, Riya used the teleportation array to head back to The Celestial Terrain. She had to take care of something. Alicia went back to her bedroom and started cultivating. These days the goddess focused more on her cultivation as she didn’t want to become a burden to Aditya.
As for the seven generals, all of them went back to their respective rooms except for Nathan. Following Aditya’s orders, he used the Seekers of Impurity guild to teleport to Mist Ocean Empire. As for others, after returning to their rooms, using the pills that Julia created for them, they began to cultivate.

Scene change to the Western region of the Dying Isle continent____
Nathan following the orders of his King teleported to the city named Blazing Sword City. The Blazing sword city was built on a small island that used to be occupied by kobolds. After defeating the kobold, the city was built. The city was named after the name of sword that the Hero used to kill the Half-Dragon Kobold. No one really knows who this hero is. The townsfolks began to call that man their hero as he had given them a new home.
This happened almost a thousand years ago. To this day, the story of a mysterious hero defeating the half-Dragon Kobold with a Blazing Sword is very popular among the Blazing Sword city citizens. The city had a population of 430,567. The locals lived mostly by fishing or farming. Other than the tale of a Hero, this city had nothing special to offer. Well, that was the case in the eyes of nobles.
But for the common people, this city was an ideal place to live. Every year many commoners come here to live. Even the governor who ruled this city was very kind to his people. The tax was very low and the crime rate of the city wasn’t that high either.
Nathan walked out of the Seekers of Impurity guild branch office. He used the Seekers of Impurity guild branch office’s teleportation array to this city. In this way, Nathan won’t have to worry about making a fake identity trying to enter the city. He can just directly teleport inside the city. Walking out of the guild branch office, Nathan began to walk on the streets. His whole body was covered under a brown dirty cloak. The hood covered his face.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, Nathan managed to find the familiar alley. This alley looked completely ordinary. Walking inside the dirty alley, Nathan found 10 to 15 homeless people sitting in the alley. Upon a closer look, he can see just as he walked to this alley, all of those homeless people had turned their attention to him. Secretly these homeless people had taken out their knives.
‘Alley guardians. Their job is to silence any intruder who might have found information about the organization and has come here to investigate. No one would think that these skinny and dirty-looking homeless people are actually trained assassins.’ Before Nathan was sold as a slave, he worked as an Assassin. In this assassin career, Nathan has heard the name of a certain powerful assassin organization.
That organization is said to be so powerful that, in the underworld, that organization is considered the most terrifying and deadly organization. The mysterious organization had no name. Rather, the organization’s name was only known to the members of the organization. The organization had a 100% success rate. No one can escape the organization’s target.
Without saying words, Nathan took out a royal gold coin and gently threw it at one of the homeless people. The secret assassin caught the royal gold coin and then looked at Nathan.
“I have a job request.” At this moment Nathan was on his guard. He knew if these people found even a small detail suspicious about him, they then will strike him down. Even though Nathan is considered to be the second most powerful general of the Istarin Empire, even he won’t be able to escape if he was attacked here.
“What request? Who is the target?” Nathan simply took out a paper from his storage ring and threw it at one of the homeless people. Grabbing the white paper and after the name of the target, they all widened their eyes in shock.
“This is going to be expensive. Are you sure you can afford this huge amount? Let me warn you, if you think that you can get away without paying all the amount, then you’re dead wrong.” The homeless people had the impression that Nathan might not be rich given his dirty and old cloak.
“Money was never a problem. Just name the amount.”
“You wait here.” Soon one of the assassins who was pretending to be a homeless beggar disappeared with the white paper that Nathan has given him.

The assassin stood in front of Nathan and asked. “Before we agree to take your mission, first give us your identity. If you dare to disguise yourself, then you and the people behind you will regret it.”
“Very well.” Nathan removed the hood covering his face. As the hood fell, a face that was covered with a black mask appeared before everyone. Nathan then took out the seal of the Istarin Empire and showed it to the Assassins. For a few seconds, the assassins looked surprised. But they soon calmed down.
Nathan didn’t need to hide his identity. Before coming here, he had long known that he would have to expose his identity. He also knew that the organization’s mouth was tightly sealed. No information about them would be leaked.
“What is the price?” Nathan knew that this assassin had gone back to his base to ask his superior’s opinion. In the underworld, every person’s head had a price. There were also certain figures whom the assassin organization didn’t wish to offend or kill. But the mysterious organization had a reputation for killing anyone as long as the right money was offered.
“51 million gold coins. We will do the first and then come for the payment. The job should be done within 24 hours. 24 hours later, you better come here and give the money. Don’t make us find you otherwise, the Istarin Empire will regret it.” Just as the assassin threatened the Istarin Empire, Nathan’s killing intent almost leaked out. This fool dares to threaten the Istarin Empire. Who does he think he is?
‘I could have done this job. Why are we hiring these dogs? Your Majesty, what are you planning?’ Aditya didn’t want the Istarin Empire’s name to become dirty which is why he asked Nathan to hire a third party for this job.
