Cameraman Never Dies-Chapter 91: The super edgy assassin

Noel narrowed his gaze as he watched the ballroom from a distance, standing atop the tallest clock tower in Limdon. Bright golden lights spilled out from the glass windows above the second floor, painting a silhouette of the glass panes on nearby structures.

The open window from an unlit room caught his eyes, some partying guest might have forgotten to close it after going there for some fresh air. His hands went behind his back to check if the knife was secure.

He double-checked his pouch if he had everything, a catalyst, a teleport rune, some smoke bombs, everything checked. This was a great gig, and he only had one shot at it.

He checked his pocket watch and put it away, he then walked to the very edge of the platform, raised both his hands, and allowed himself to fall by leaning forward slightly.

The place returned to silence, with the golden bell reflecting the blue half moon from its smooth surface.

Suddenly, a fluttering of wings could be heard, and soon, a dark figure followed. Noel, like a bat, flew towards the open window that he had seen earlier. The sound of his wings was light, one could only hear it if they were close to him.

Noel came and perched on the windowsill, ready to jump out and escape in case of any anomalies. His eyes scanned the dark room, the moon’s illumination was not much, but he had the ability to see in the dark.

Making sure there were no dangers, he got down to the room and tapped his forehead twice. In an instant, he was covered in a veil of darkness, and when it lifted after a few seconds, his entire attire had gone from a cloaked commoner to that of an aristocrat.

He wore a long black tailcoat with a matching vest and a white shirt, his trousers were also block in color. He lifted his left hand and a silver inlaid black cane appeared in his hands.

Lifting his other hand to his head, a black top hat appeared with another veil of darkness over his deep green hair which quickly changed into dark blue. As the last piece of disguise, he closed his eyes and opened them, and in place of his emerald green eyes, there were two blue jewel-like eyes.

With the disguise in place, he quickly walked in through the door, concealing himself.

Meanwhile, in front of a grand door, two people in tight and congested white uniforms stood guard. They both held an ether-pressured rifle with a sharp tip and two identical short swords.

It was the office of a knight family’s head, and he was having a confidential meeting with many important figures. The host inside that room was Noel’s main target.

In Eldris, there was only a single noble house for each race, and there are many other aristocratic families who are under these nobles— they were called knight families, and they served as vassals for the nobles who represented their respective races before the king.

The commoners referred to the Knight family heads as "Sir" and the noble family heads as "Lord". But people of equal footing usually called each other by their family name.

Only a few knight families held as much authority as the nobles, and they were the knights who served under the royal family, Noel’s target was a knight under the king.

Noel, in his concealed state, did not dare make any move and waited patiently for the meeting to end. He had planned the assassination with a lot of information and preparation.

A long time passed as Noel’s waiting bore fruit, the nobles and knights left the place without any hurry and went to the ballroom to take part in the rest of the party. The host was yet to leave as he had to clean up the aftermath of their meeting, it was a short work.

But there was another reason why he did not leave, and that was what Noel was after. He phased through the walls as if he were a ghost, he was following a man who broke away from the rest of the group on the pretext of going to the toilet.

The man looked exactly the same as Noel after the transformation, with blue hair and eyes, a lean nose, and sharp lips. Even the attire of both were the same.

Noel waited in the nearest washroom like a ghost, it was cleaner and brighter than many lower middle-class houses, and the gray gradient marble floor was shimmering.

Soon, the man with blue hair, his first target, came into the washroom and stood there, thinking about whether to go inside a toilet or whether his actions had been enough to fool everyone, he decided to go inside a closet just to be sure.

He got in and closed the door, but as soon as he did, he dropped dead without a sound, and from a shadow on the wall, his body double emerged, it was Noel.

Noel searched the man’s pocket for a brooch, and he soon found it. After searching his whole body for anything of value, he found a few notes of sten, a gun, and a small container with bullets.

After counting the notes, he put the ninety Sten away in his wallet, the amount was not much compared to the status of the man he had killed, but there was no need to carry so much cash to a party either.

The money value was quite simple, the "Nen" had the least value, ten notes of Nen would become a "Sen", and ten notes of Sen would become a "Sten". Rich people often did not carry around much cash, since you could just write a cheque, cheques were bound to a person and no other could write in them.

Shadows started to emerge from underneath the corpse, dark tentacles started to wrap themselves around the dead man. They slowly dragged him inside the darkness underneath him, and the corpse vanished, sinking into the floor.

Soon after, Noel, now impersonating the blue-haired noble, went to the office of the knight family head and showed the two guards his brooch, "Mr. Hallan! You sure took your sweet time." The knight family head said as soon as he walked in.

"Sorry Mr. Sershaw, I had to be sure."

"Never mind that, let’s get down to business, shall we?"

"Yes Sir."

Judge slowly opened his eyes, He had escaped to his studio with just his soul when he noticed something was wrong with his emotions. And he had seen what his father and mother did to his body.

Judge was no longer angry, no... he did not feel anything, it was as if his heart had gone hollow.

He understood what was happening, his emotions were sealed in order for him to "not go out of control". His mother only intended to seal his emotions when they were intense, but accidentally, all of his emotions were sealed. She did that under a lot of unnecessary pressure, Judge thought calmly.

He could get a redo of his seal if he acted emotionless, but this was for the better. He could be rational in all situations. He had to act as if he still had some emotions.
