He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 638. Job done

"I see. Thank you."

Kailen didn’t seem surprised that someone on the ranking list wanted to kill him. People at a particular level on the ranking list received monthly rewards that matched their level on the ranking list, apart from their mission rewards.

The number one on the ranking list was someone who would definitely be a recipient of considerable energy orbs, alchemical products and even runic artifacts that could be very helpful to him.

He saw Karag Anvilheart as a threat to his position, and wanted to eliminate him. Kailen deemed the fellow pragmatic, but since the fellow wanted him dead, he also had to take action and eliminate him.

And the perfect opportunity had presented itself at the moment.

"This person wants to get in my good graces. But he is not stupid. He considers this information useful enough. Also, what I’m asking them is risky. Unless the benefits outweigh the risk, he will decline, regardless of how much he wants to have a connection with me.

I suppose I have to strike a deal with him."

A glint flashed through Kailen’s eyes.

He sent a thought transmission to the first young master.

"I make 1000 more for you and you get rid of him for me. How’s that?"

The first young master’s eyes widened.

"What a decisive young man, coming up with a solution to handle his enemy on the spot.

He weighed the situation, and came up with an offer I can’t decline. Which businessman in their right mind would reject the offer of 1000 runic artifacts with rune skill proficiency of 94 percent?

We can just get one of our assassins to deal with the person. Although that woman asks for a lot of money, compared to what we will get from this deal, it’s worth it. This Karag Anvilheart has a chilling personality indeed."

As a businessman, it has been long since he encountered a youngster that acted like an old fox.

"We have a deal, Mr Anvilheart," the first young master said.

Kailen entered the lab again.

In a few hours, he was done with the 1000 runic artifacts.

Kailen didn’t leave the Morrow Chamber of Commerce. He was waiting for the first person on the rankings to be dealt with before he left. Who knows what the fellow was planning if he left the chamber of commerce before he dealt with him? What if the fellow launched an assassination attack then?

This was why he had decided to let the chamber of commerce deal with him before he leaves.

He was in the high tier cultivation chamber, cultivating. Since he was waiting, might as well make use of it.

RiverBlood Empire

Infa Solar System.

In a planetary district.

In a villa.

Several coquettish giggles wafted through the room.

"Tell us another story, sir," a beautiful vampire lady in a bathrobe said, as she traced her hands on the chest of a handsome male vampire.

"Yes, sir, another one. We want to know more about your adventures," another wearing a silk looking robe added.

The male vampire sighed, reminiscing about the past.

"You know the mission I took before I became the first on the ranking list?

It was fifty years ago. The Cynthia Solar System. Several vimodials had invaded the region. I was sent to reinforce some rank 8 protective runes there. However, I realized the reinforcements were weak. So, I used spiritual power and runic attacks to slaughter the vimodials."

"Wow... Sir, you are a man among men!"

"We want to rock you right now."

"Hehe, ladies, then I won’t stand on ceremony."

"Sir Christove, you know what will make our time together more fun?" one of the ladies, clad in a long robe that accentuated her curves, said.

She was the most beautiful among the three women.

Before Christove could even answer, she said, "Good wine."

After that, she whispered some sensual stuff into his ear, which caused his face to heat up.

"Good. Don’t go back on your word after the wine."

Immediately, Christove drank the served wine on the table, along with the other women, including the one who had suggested they take the wine.

Suddenly, Christove held his head.

He felt a bit dizzy.

The ladies asked, "Sir, are you alright?"

"Just a bit dizzy."

As he looked around, he realized two of the ladies were lying on the floor. They had lifeless eyes, and looks of puzzlement.

They were dead.

One of them was calmly seated on another sofa, observing him.

"Who... are you... what did you put in the wine?"

Christove asked, completely scared. He tried to launch a law attack, use spiritual power—nothing was working.

He was not an idiot. He had been poisoned.

Why? Who had he offended?

Wait... was it Karag Anvilheart?

How could he have known?

Had someone on the black market leaked the news?

No... no... he signed rune oaths with his assassins. They would never betray him by revealing this. Else, they would die.

This meant that an organisation with a strong intelligence network had either been involved, or someone had paid a strong intelligence organisation to find out about this.

It all boiled down to Karag Anvilheart. That fellow was not simple. This was why he had wanted to get rid of him before he became a problem.

But to think, he was a step behind.

Anvilheart was dangerous.

The assassin sighed.

"I guess you have probably pieced everything together by now. My job here is done."

She stood up, watching the life fade out of him.

He had a bitter, shocked and unaccepting expression on his dead face.

The assassin muttered, "Those Morrow Chamber of Commerce fellows really need to add more money for my service this time. This was not an easy gig. I had to pretend to be a slut after all."

She clicked her tongue. "Also, the antidote tasted like shit."

After that, she disappeared as if she had never been there.

Kailen opened his eyes in the cultivation chamber of the Morrow Chamber of Commerce.

He had just received a message and pictures that proved that the deed was done.

The first person on the rankings, the threat that wanted him dead, had been eliminated.

"Time to head back. But, I hate wasting time on these assassination plots. I need to make sure this does not happen again"

A glint flashed through his mind as an idea brewed.

Meanwhile, in the secondary Carrier planetary district, the runesmith association rankings glitched...
