Chapter 412 - Qia's Change

Because Spiritual Sense couldn't be used, she couldn't tell that they weren't real. In an instant, the woman and her guards left the room at full speed.

"Where is Nulian's Room?"

"Number 175."

In a place not far away, Rean looked at a particular direction in the ceiling before commenting through their Soul Connection.

'Sure enough, our Mirage assault clones were destroyed.'

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

'It doesn't matter. We already got Nulian's head anyway.'

Rean nodded.

'I knocked out the girl already. Still...'

Rean then looked at the guy's head and couldn't help but say.

'I really can't get used to this system. Having to carry heads... Don't they have a better way to confirm someone's death? Of course, Nulian was trash, so I don't feel any pity for him.'

Roan didn't even bother to answer as he entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Rean then did the same and entered the place. Because they had been in the Capital all this time, the save point in their room was always close. Considering the number of spirit stones Rean made at the moment, paying for the teleport wasn't hard, especially when the distance was this close.

Of course, Roan spent almost all their stones in the Dark Web Organization. Fortunately, they still had enough for something like this.

When the Red Light House owner arrived, she saw Nulian's subordinates guarding the door's front.

"Halt! No one can bother the young master."

Unfortunately for them, the old woman herself was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. The people behind her were no weaklings either. In a single sweep, they threw all those guys away.

"Are you trying to kill a customer of your Red Light House?!"

The woman glared at them for a second before opening the door.

"Hmph! Come and take a look yourself. Is that the kind of protection you can give to your employer?"

The guys were taken aback before they quickly arrived at the door. Sure enough, Nulian was as dead as he could be while the woman he brought inside was unconscious. Nulian was a Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator. However, his guard was completely down when he entered the room. Besides, he couldn't use Spiritual Sense either. If Roan couldn't take the man's head in such an advantageous situation, then he wouldn't be Death.

Nulian's guards went pale when they saw that. They would have a tough time explaining it to the Favri Bank that Nulian was a part of.

In the end, just a simple letter remained on the bed. The woman quickly grabbed it and read its contents.

-What kind of shit service is this? Your employee gave the room key and even said the room's number in front of others. Only an idiot wouldn't notice that something was wrong. Good luck next time.-

The woman was fuming. Someone dying in her Red Light House was definitely going to affect her business. Sadly, there was nothing she could do. She could tell that whoever did it was long gone. If they had the leisure to even write a letter for her, they obviously had their way out planned. Of course, she still issued an order to lock down the Red Light House and did a thorough search, just in case. It's just that she didn't find anything in the end.

Back in the Dalamu Sect Residence, Rean and Roan left their rooms as if nothing had happened at all.

"Alright, I already lost too much time. Unless it's really urgent, I probably won't be able to leave the Formations Guild for the next week."

Roan nodded, not minding it too much.

"Very well, I'm going back to deliver the guy's head so that I can get rid of the killing requirement for the year."

And just like that, the twins separated and went back to doing their own things.

Sure enough, the news that Nulian died in the Red Light House spread like wildfire. However, the Shadow Reapers wouldn't accept just some news. The mission would only be paid if the taker brought the head back. Those were the rules.

Roan arrived back at the old house and immediately teleported back to the Black Market. Without wasting time, he went straight to the Shadow Reapers building. There was a different entrance for members. Roan then brought his badge out and used it to get access.

As always, a few members were looking at the board to see if they should take a mission. Roan ignored that and went into a closed room on the back. Inside, one of the Shadow Reaper members looked at Roan before asking.

"Badge and head."

Roan brought them out. Roan had used his Yin Energy to freeze Nulian's head. Otherwise, it would be dripping blood everywhere. The guy then used Roan's badge to check which mission he had taken. Soon after, he paired the face of the head with the picture they had in the records.

"Mission concluded. Go to the counter outside and take your payment."

Roan nodded before he got his badge back and left. As for how he would report it to the employee, that wasn't his problem.

As soon as he left the room, he saw the same organization member from back then coming out of another room. He went to the board and then removed Nulian's assignment from the board and a few others.

Roan thought if he should take another mission or not. However, he decided to not force things in the Capital. He would just look at the Shadow Reaper's branch in the same regions as Jialin Country later.

After giving his badge to the man behind the counter, the latter quickly confirmed the mission's conclusion. Following that, he passed a bag and Roan's badge back to him.

"Mission's reward given. You can go."

Roan scanned inside and saw that it didn't have 1500 Rank Three Spirit Stones. Instead, it had only 1200. Sure enough, the Shadow Reapers Organization didn't work for free. They obtained 20% of the reward in exchange.

'That's to be expected. An organization this big can't possibly work without financial backup. There should be no lack of people they need to bribe to keep everything under wraps either.'

Roan didn't mind it since Spirit Stones at Rank Three or below weren't an issue for the twins anymore. Well, these 1200 would come in handy since he used almost all of their stones back in the Dark Web Organization.

'Perhaps there's some Yin Energy Dak Element Skill that I can get for this price. Let's go take a look.'

Since Roan was pretty much free, he decided to browse the Black Market to see if something good could be found.

Back in the Formations Guild Main branch, Rean had just arrived when suddenly, Qia appeared as well.

"Ah!"

Rean looked around the crowd and then smiled back to Qia.

"Princess, did you just come back as well?"

Qia smiled as she held Rean's hand.

"Indeed. I had to go back to the Palace for a moment to resolve a few things."

Rean somehow felt that the current situation was strange. Qia seemed to be quite in a good mood. In the end, he couldn't help but ask her through a Spiritual Sense.

'You do know that our last kiss was also a play for the others to see, right?'

Qia looked at Rean as if she didn't care.

'Obviously. Still, it doesn't change the fact that it was very pleasing. What about you, did you like this princess's kiss?'

Rean was taken aback. Was that a trap?

'Ahem... That's not the issue here, right? The important part is that everyone saw it.'

Qia refused that answer.

'For men, it might not be an issue, but it definitely is for women. I just want one answer, yes or no.'

Rean sighed since there was obviously only one answer. If he said that it wasn't, it would only hurt Qia's pride even more. Besides... as much as he was trying to avoid increasing her feelings for him, he would be lying if he said that it wasn't good. Which single man in the world would find kissing a beauty like Qia unpleasing? Well, Roan and Tissan might...

'Ahem... Of course.'

Qia then showed him a playful smile as she laughed.

'Hahaha! Then that's good.'

Suddenly, Qia pulled Rean's hand in her direction before stealing a kiss from him. Because Rean wasn't expecting it, he had no time to react before her lips were already touching his own.

Qia then let him go before saying.

'Since it was good, there is no problem in continuing with practice. This princess also liked it, so we have nothing to lose since we are just showing our 'love' a little bit more. You better be prepared. This princess requires many samples to make sure no one will have any doubts about our 'relationship.'

Qia then let go of Rean's hand before walking back into the Guild's Repository. As for Rean, he didn't know what to say anymore. Just a few hours ago, Qia would never take the initiative to do such a thing in front of everyone else. Even that time when she forced herself over him, she looked like she was going to die out of embarrassment. However, although there was some fluster on her face, she didn't seem to care about it anymore.

'Just what happened in these last few hours that made her change like that?'

To answer that question, we would need to go back to the moment Qia's mother brought her to Tulia's room.
