Neil returned to his domain, but felt a headache.

He had just dealt with one assassin and he was to expect a lot more of them? Doesn’t that mean he would have to use Analyzer again and again?

If a 4th Origin Gold Class assassin is killed, doesn’t it mean the next ones would be of the same rank or above?

This was so messed up.

It was like coming from one hell to another, where was the peace?

"Hubby, what happened? Where did you go?" Seeing Neil return, Ileana finally walked out of the healing room.

The others walked out of the various buildings too, looking curious.

Earlier they didn’t have any time to ask and were rushed to hide by Nemo.

"...There was an assassin around, I managed to kill him but soon, more of them might come." Neil replied, massaging his temples.

"Do we need to go some other place, lord?" Bob asked, with their current strength and materials it would be impossible to face those guys.

"...We sure do, but the question is where can we even go?" Neil wondered, and was Randy’s settlement the only place left?

’Wait, what if Randy is the one behind these assassinations and he wanted me to forcefully enter his settlement?’ Neil wondered, thinking about it, this really made a lot of sense.

"..." Bob, Rob, Mob, all of them wanted to help but they really couldn’t do anything.

GRRRR...

Just then Magnar, who was sleeping nearby, growled, looking in the same direction where Neil had just killed the assassin.

"Damnit, looks like they are already here. Let’s start moving for now." There was no sudden way of increasing his strength.

’Ah right, I still have a few gene potions.’ Neil remembered, taking them out he drank them all one by one.

[You have consumed a 3rd Origin Silver Class Gene Potion.]

Messages that he usually ignores kept popping up as he drank several gene potions, nine Silver Class were from the guys he had killed in prison.

the rest were all of the 4th Origin, so he can’t really use them.

One from Shen of Silver Class and one from Xander, which was of Gold Class, and another from the assassin just now, which was also Gold Class.

『

(Bronze): 0/1000

(Silver): 10/500

(Gold): 0/100

(Diamond): 0/5

(Mythic): 2/2

』

It gave him a feeling of growth, but this was nothing, he needed to quickly evolve to 4th Origin.

’Freya, is there any possible way by which I can quicken the essence transformation?’ Neil asked, but that was not all.

He would also need to upgrade the domain and even fill his energy cores, that was too much work and it would take too long.

Cynthia could help but her own strength is at 5th Origin Gold Class, there could be even stronger enemies and if she gets involved.

It would cause too much trouble for her. Neil wanted to ask for her help initially, but he soon realized that it would be of not much use.

Neil gazed into the direction where he had killed the assassin earlier and tried to sense the presences.

’I can’t sense anything, neither is the bell ringing. This way, I would just be getting killed.’ The domain began to move quickly to the other direction.

He sighed, it seemed there really was no other choice than to ask for Randy’s help.

Neil can’t trust that guy but same goes for all the others, he can’t trust ECO, the officers or anyone else.

"Master, you are getting a call from..." Nemo, while speaking, paused suddenly, making Neil curious.

"Who is it?" he asked, while making sure no assassins were heading towards them.

"...Uh, it’s Robert, Jane’s father." She added.

A deep frown instantly appeared over Neil’s face, that bastard had never liked him for some reason.

Neil was pretty good at everything, everyone believed he would have a bright future.

Although it didn’t matter, everyone knew about his parents, so he just couldn’t understand why Robert and his father would oppose their relation so much.

Did they know something he doesn’t?

But it doesn’t matter, Neil didn’t like them both either.

He doesn’t even want to hear that dirty voice, upon thinking twice, this bastard might be the one who called the assassin.

’Haa, answer it.’ Neil said, his expression turning stern.

As the call connected, there was complete silence for a few seconds, then Robert’s arrogant voice sounded.

"Is it you?"

"..."

"I didn’t expect you to survive, but not bad. Anyway, I heard you are having it pretty bad, if you want I can help you just come to my settlement and you might even have a chance to get back with Jane." Robert continued to speak, not waiting for any reply.

"..." Neil’s expression turned more angry the more he heard.

"Jane had gotten ill because of you, so you better behave and work in the settlement, you can have your complete freedom but you only need to listen to me." Robert added.

"Anything else?" Neil finally spoke, as he released a long breath.

"Hmmm I have heard about your synergy level, it’s good. Me and my father have decided to give you a chance, but you need to break all your other relations even with your original family, and let us handle your domain. As for Jane, she will give you a chance again." Robert finally said his piece.

He isn’t really good with discussions, but he felt he was giving away too much to Neil.

In any case, Robert planned to make him work so much that he wouldn’t have time for anything else.

"Is there any pointy object around you?" Neil asked.

There was a brief silence, Robert was clearly taken aback, he looked around and after seeing a spear resting there he replied.

"Yes there is, why do you ask?"

"Do one thing, put it upwards and sit on it, you motherfucker, so you stop spouting shit from your mouth and do it the right way." Neil suddenly shouted, shocking Robert.

Neil had always been quite respectful towards him so such words really shocked him.

He was speechless for a few seconds and didn’t know what to say.

"H- How dare you?!!" he finally managed to mutter.

"Is there a pointy object around you?" Neil asked again, interrupting him.

"Uh... There is not!! Why are you-" Robert of course refused this time, his eyes turning red with rage, this brat dared to be so disrespectful towards him?

He was a 5th Origin Lord while his father was already on the Zenetor planet, he belonged to such a respectful and powerful family.

And this guy dared to say such words to him?

But Neil interrupted him, there was a loud laugh and then he spoke: "You already sat on it? Good boy."

CLICK

And the connection was cut, Robert was left standing there, staring at the ceiling in bafflement.

Unable to digest what had just happened, even though he was so generous with that guy, yet he dared to disrespect him in such a manner?

Robert felt so angry that he wanted to go himself and kill him.

His fists were clenched and body shook with rage, eyes already bloodshot, he had never been humiliated like this before.

In his rage, Robert directly contacted one of the assassin groups and gave them the contract to kill Neil as soon as possible.

He even set a high bounty. This group of assassins was Mad Dog, they have a reputation of getting the job done, in any situation.

Robert wanted to go himself to kill him.

But first he decided to report it to his father, Tred Aven, the main head of the family.

He was the one to make the main decisions, though Robert had already made his mind. That brat needs to die.

No matter what, even if he is a genius.

He called his father and soon the voice of Tred rang out.

"Robert, what is it? Hurry up, I am coming there to tell you something important." Tred said, he sounded a little excited.

"Huh? Father, what is it? Did something good happen?" Robert asked in surprise, he hadn’t heard Tred being this happy in ages or maybe never?

For a moment, he forgot all about other matters.

"Yes, something good indeed happened." Tred said, he didn’t get angry at his son for asking about things he shouldn’t, as usual.

So Robert probed though he doubted he would get an answer: "What is it father?"

"You know about the Shadow Empress, right?" Tred asked, his tone mysterious.

"Yes of course, who wouldn’t know her, she is one of the powerhouses of Zenetor planet. Just to meet her once, we had to expend so much money and treasures and we didn’t get to even see her." Robert spoke, sighing.

There are some people on the Zenetor planet who are on a completely different level.

Neil’s parents are among them too, maybe even at the top among them.

But, quite a few people on the Zenetor planet had gotten a special piece of news, which was exactly why Robert and Tred didn’t like Neil much.

And the special piece of news was directly from Neil’s father, not only was he abandoned, but he even announced that his son will die by his hand the moment he reaches Zenetor planet.

Though he guaranteed, he can never reach that planet.

So how can they like Neil? For a guy with a doomed future, it would only harm them if they get involved with someone like him, someone whose own father had made those announcements.

"What about the Shadow Empress, father?" Robert asked, he was getting excited too. Soon he would tell him the news about Neil and how bad that guy is and the assassination contract.
