“How did that illegitimate son kill the 3rd Squad Leader?”
Mariska Maren, the Kronen family’s mistress, asked the assassin who had returned alive as if it were ridiculous. Mariska, who had moved the strongest pawn she could move as soon as she heard that Royman had shown up in Kuwait City.
He was an assassin who had reached the level of an Expert. Even the three squad members who followed him were all Experts of the lower or middle levels. . . . . .
To kill them all while facing them meant that Royman had at least the strength of an Expert of the highest level or higher.
The problem was. . . that the Squad Leader had gone out and died. Not just an assassin, but a Squad Leader who had been carefully selected and raised by the Kronen family.
Moreover, didn’t he say that they had left the bodies in the alley? It would not be long before the fact that the 3rd Squad Leader had died became known. It would also be known that the eldest son, Royman, had returned. . . and his abilities would also become known.
“Sigh. . . . . . How did things turn out like this?”
Mariska’s son and the Kronen family’s legitimate son had no talent whatsoever. On top of that, he was the only legitimate son in the family, and as such, he had been spoiled and had no manners.
Because of that, rumors were circulating among the elders about whether ‘Mariska’s son was fit to succeed’. . . . . .
Now that the eldest son, Royman, had suddenly appeared with tremendous power. . . it was a moment when Mariska’s bones ached.
‘𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱?’
Although not to the level of being part of the Seven Dark Families, the family that was dividing power with the Kronen in the Kuwaiti underworld was the Maren family.
And she was the eldest daughter of that Maren family. Although it was not as influential as the Kronen family, which was notorious throughout the western part of the continent, it was a family with enough influence in Kuwait to be able to clean up Royman with all its strength.
‘𝘠𝘦𝘴, 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦.’

Meanwhile, the elders in the elder’s council also received news that the 3rd Squad Leader had been defeated by Royman. Of course, they did not learn about it through Mariska, but through the Kuwait Sword who had gone to the scene and retrieved the bodies.
Because it was a local area, the Kuwait Sword had formed an affiliated relationship with the Kronen family, so such news was transmitted immediately.
“Who was that fiend?”
“It seems to be Royman, the first son.”
“The first son has returned?”
“Heh. . . . . . He’s very confident.”
“Isn’t he great? He killed the 3rd Squad Leader and his elite squad members. If he could do it, it means that he has reached the highest level of Expert. But he wouldn’t have returned to the Kronen family with just that much, he must have reached the level of Master, right?”
At those words, the elders in the elder’s council began to stir.
An Assassin Master.
The current head of the Kronen family had also reached that level not long ago. . . it was a testament to how brilliant his talent was to reach that level at such a young age.
“On the other hand, the second son, who is the legitimate son. . . . . .”
Ruaman, who was now twelve years old, had not yet progressed from the intermediate level, let alone Expert. And yet, he had no intention of making an effort, and he was just fooling around here and there, causing trouble.
Until now, they had been watching and waiting because there was no substitute, but. . . . . .
“If this is the case. . . it changes the story.”
And one of the elders who had been observing the opinions of the elders in the corner seemed to have made up his mind and got up from his seat and slipped out of the elder’s council without the others noticing.
He had asked the assassins who followed him about Royman, and soon he received information that Royman was staying at the City Hotel in Kuwait City.
That night. . . . . . He secretly slipped out of the Kronen family and headed for the City Hotel. Then, he entered Royman’s room like an assassin. . . . . .
“I have been waiting for you, Elder Takhmet.”
“First son, I knew you would come.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then, did you intend for all of this to happen?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“That means. . . you intend to take the position of head of the Kronen family.”
“Yes, Elder Takhmet.”
“For that, you will need the support of the elders. However, there are still many who follow the legitimate son, Ruaman.”
“We need to clean it up.”
“The head of the family will not tolerate it.”
“I intend to clean up my father as well.”
“. . . . . .”
Takhmet the Elder was silent at Royman’s icy answer.
“Have you reached Master?”
At those words, Royman lifted the dagger nearby and immediately raised an Aura Blade.
“However. . . you will not be able to kill the head of the family and Ruman by yourself. Furthermore, you will have to deal with the Maren family, the birth family of the mistress.”
“There is a place I would like you to go with me for a moment. Please follow me.”
The place they headed to was the Peacemaker’s safe house.
“This is?”
“This is where my helpers are staying.”
After a while, they went inside and people wearing silver masks appeared. . . . . . They were all people with extraordinary auras. . . . . .
“Who are they?”
“They are members of the organization I currently belong to, Peacemaker.”
“Pe. . . Peacemaker?”
Elder Takhmet also knew about Peacemaker. However, it seemed that he had never imagined that Peacemaker was actually the name of an organization and not a hero.
“They are all people with abilities of Master rank or higher. Will you help me?”
If all five of them were of Master rank or higher. . . it would be enough to deal with the Maren family and the head of the family.
“But. . . are you saying that they are helping the Young Master without any conditions?”
“Of course there are conditions, the condition that they help our boss. . . . . .”
“Boss?”
“I will tell you only, Elder Takhmet. Our boss is His Imperial Highness, the first prince, Valentine.”
“. . . . . . !!”
“If His Highness ascends to the throne, he has promised to pardon our Kronen family and grant me the title of earl. It means that our Kronen will no longer operate in the shadows, but in the sun.”
