Assassination System Chapter 74 This is just the Beginning

Leader Blackie didn't want to resort to violence. Although he was ruthless, he knew that once he engaged in such an act. The negotiations for an alliance with the Tyrannical Jollibee Gang in the future would surely collapse. However, he still had his own pride and considerations, especially when the establishment that closed down was one of his lifelines.
Though he could resurrect it, he still suffered an enormous loss under the hands of this young man who popped out of nowhere. And since other than Caitlyn, the brat doesn't seem to have that much of a background behind him, Leader Blackie didn't hesitate to move.
Even if Dan died under his hands, he could just offer some compensation towards Caitlyn and the matter would be over. Smiling, he formed a torrent of Qi between his palms and prepared to send it over to Dan. But the latter's screams intervened,
"Help! Little wife! Your husband is about to be killed!"
His distressed shout echoed throughout the entire pavilion, piercing through the figure of Natalie who wondered about the commotion. Upon hearing the familiar voice. Her figure shivered and turned around to the source of the voice, only to find Leader Blackie's figure that was about to attack her husband.
Without any hesitation, lightning crackled around her followed by an explosion of thunder as her figure reappeared beside Blackie, sending a palm strike filled with the power of lightning towards his side.
A deafening boom reverberated and shook the entire pavilion, Caitlyn and Charlotte managed to summon a barrier and protected themselves from the shockwaves, "Dan!" Charlotte shouted in concern, Dan was close to the epicenter of the attack, she hoped that he wasn't injured.
Caitlyn's expression flickered, to send the Spirit Tempering Cultivator that was Leader Blackie, it could only mean that the young woman who intervened had a higher cultivation or stronger technique than the former.
The dust settled and Leader Blackie could be seen sprawled on the walls like a dead dog. His eyes flashed in fear and comprehension when he saw Natalie's cold and murderous eyes. Ever since Dan's disappearance on that day, she had painstakingly searched for his figure and when she finally saw him. The first scene she saw was her husband, about to be assaulted by a mere lackey of Senior Takemikazuchi.
Leader Blackie gritted his teeth and forced himself up and circulated his Qi in an effort to dissolve the numbing sensation that spread throughout his body. When he stabilized, Natalie said, "Just what the hell are you trying to do, earlier?"
Her arms crossed together and her expression revealed that she wanted an explanation. Lifting his head, he looked pitiful like a dog that got its treats stolen as he said, "Mistress, I don't know what relationship you have with that young man but he's the one who crippled my livelihood first, I just invited him to ask for some explanations."
Natalie lifted an eyebrow, "Explanation? Do you think I'm blind? I saw you using your power earlier in an attempt to attack him," She glanced at Dan whose expression looked timid and wronged. Her eyes softened and she cupped his chins with both of her hands, "Dear, sorry I am late..."
From now on, since she now possessed a strength that could protect him. She would never let any harm to come his way. Dan revealed a small smile, "I'm fine, little wife. However, what he said was completely wrong." His expression suddenly turned righteous and he sent a glare towards Blackie's figure which made him shiver in return.
"What do you mean? Could it be that he did more things to you?" Natalie's tone turned frosty, she glanced at Blackie and sent a death glare as Blackie helplessly thought, 'Goddamned it, If I knew that this young man had such a backing, even If God gives me a thousand balls, I would never offend this brat...' He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, witnessing the strange play of the two.
"Mistress, let me explain, " Blackie took a deep breath, as a Branch Leader, he still possessed quite a significant importance for the true leader of the Black Wing Gang so he knew that even though he would be punished, he would not be relieved from his position.
"Go on," Natalie spat and Blackie summoned his courage to face this dragon-like Natalie and said, "That young man beside you entered a gambling establishment of ours and used an unscrupulous method to win consecutive jackpots which led to the temporary closure of that establishment,"
His eyes shone in a pleading light, and Natalie turned to Dan, "Dear, is what he is saying, true?" Dan's expression flickered, his face reddened in anger and he raised his fingers, "How dare you call me unscrupulous! I used the method that the old man taught me in winning those jackpots! I won them fair and square and after I did that, you summoned me and threatened to wipe out nine generations of my bloodline as revenge and even wanted to steal my life along with my money!"
His busted out these words like Eminem as the expression of the three women turned somber, Blackie's expression looked aghast and he hurriedly gesticulated with his hand, "No, no, no! Please don't do this to me, young man...You know that my intention in summoning you in here was just to ask for an explanation, and why would I threaten your clan's extinction for such measly matters?!"
Dan's wronged expression intensified and he looked pitiful as his eyes moistened, taking a deep breath, he explained to Natalie, "Little wife, you saw what happened earlier, he clearly wanted to kill me so all of his explanations are void!" She nodded her head, following her vow of protecting Dan, when she witnessed Lil' Blackie's actions, her killing intent surged and her mind denied any explanation which made Blackie's face look even more tragic than before.
"Mistress, please listen! For the sake of Leader Takemikazuchi, please listen to my explanations..." Blackie deeply bowed his head and gesticulated with his hands in an effort to capture her attention.
But for Natalie who only wanted revenge for her adorable and wronged husband. His words became empty talk as a terrifying might of thunder enveloped her body. Blackie hissed, regaining his calm, he mustered a barrier but in the face of Natalie's cultivation and her Divine Arts, he knew that he wouldn't even last a single exchange much less block her attacks.
"Miss, please calm down," Caitlyn stepped between them and intervened, protecting Blackie with her body. Natalie glanced at Dan and the two of them shared a smile, the first phase of their plan, went through.
Blackie's expression softened when he saw Caitlyn's frail figure protecting him from Natalie. His figure trembled when he thought about the moments where he despised her presence and even publicly mocked her at that meeting.
Seeing Blackie's indescribable expression filled with guilt. Dan's lips lifted a small smile as he darted his gaze at his little wife, their familiarity towards each other was enough for them to communicate using their body language. And along with Natalie's intelligence and intuition, she managed to get a hold of his intentions as she played along with her husband's play.
"And just who are you to intervene in the matters between me and the Black Wing Gang?" Her majestic pressure wafted out as beaded sweats formed on Caitlyn's forehead, glancing at the Blackie who hung his head low, she didn't expect that this young woman could make him that was dubbed as the Asura submit under her authority.
Witnessing their fight earlier, Caitlyn understood the situation. It looks like Dan and this young woman had a deep relationship towards each other and after the latter saw Blackie's actions earlier, she became enraged and wanted to kill him.
However, if Blackie died, the Black Wing Gang in the Desert Wilderness Bazaar would become headless flies and without a leader, especially when the members were all ruffians, it would immediately collapse and a civil war may soon follow resulting in chaos and widespread damage.
Caitlyn didn't want that to happen. All she wanted to have was peace, she had enough of terror and chaos.
"This one is the leader of the newly-appointed first-tier Gang, the Tyrannical Jollibee Gang," Caitlyn clasped her hands together in respect. Though she could just ask Dan for help, she didn't do it, she wanted to showcase her sincerity towards him and this young woman.
"Another measly first-tier Gang dares to intervene in the official matters between me and the Black Wing Gang? You sure have guts," Natalie coldly replied and Caitlyn hastily replied, "No I dare not intervene but I think that it would be better if young mistress doesn't punish him, "
Natalie lifted an eyebrow, "You saw him attacking my husband earlier, right?" Caitlyn nodded her head and Natalie continued, "Since you saw that he was the one who launched the offensive first, it should be right for me to punish his actions,"
Caitlyn turned somber, Natalie's words were logical and sound as she forgot to refute. But at this moment, Blackie stepped up and held her shoulders, the visage of the terrifying middle-aged man was showcased as he removed his robe and kneeled on the ground,
Blackie's true appearance along with the dissipation of the cold air that constantly surrounded him made everyone in the vicinity, stare in shock. The reason was, Blackie looked very handsome, just his sharp eyebrows and his jet-black hair that faintly swayed in the air alone made Caitlyn, breathless.
Paired with his sincere expression, he looked phenomenal and divine. Dan was astonished at his appearance and he discreetly observed Natalie's expression. However, the latter noticed his probing and she sweetly smiled in return as if saying, "Don't worry, no one will replace you, my cute little hubby,"
Dan frowned, "How did I become the little hubby?" He indignantly expressed using his eyes. Natalie merely smiled to herself and darted her gaze back at Blackie who said, "Young Mistress, it is indeed this one's fault about everything that happened, and it is only appropriate for you to punish my actions."
His tone, somber and despondent which contrasted his refreshing appearance.
Natalie and Dan felt his sincerity as the two of them stared at each other for a moment before saying, "It's fine, stand up, I forgive you,"
Blackie and Caitlyn along with Charlotte who stayed silent all this while stared at the two in shock. Natalie shrugged and explained, "There's no merit in punishing Blackie, however, if he remained arrogant and unscrupulous in his ways, this Gang will eventually go into ruins,"
Her words made Blackie ashamed as he swore in his heart that he would never do such foolish and shameful antics. Caitlyn's expression turned grateful and she stared at the pardoned Blackie with complicated emotions running through her heart.
Charlotte revealed a slight smile that decorated her beautiful visage. The scene made Dan stare at her as a sharp pain surged around his waist. Glancing at the cold Natalie, he revealed a small smile and stretched his left hand out and wrapped her waist into his embrace.
Their blatant display of affection indicated their true relationship. Charlotte's smile became filled with numerous emotions, she felt happy, yet her heart ached upon seeing them together. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down.
"Since that would definitely happen and I am not yet sure if Blackie would repent in his ways, how about we do this?" Natalie took a jade token from her robes and displayed it towards the three. Blackie's expression flickered as he mumbled, "Black Wing Gang's Grand Order Token?"
"Indeed, this is the Grand Order Token and using my authority granted by this token, I hereby declare that the Black Wing Gang's Desert Wilderness Branch will enter an alliance with the Tyrannical Jollibee Gang! Caitlyn will take the Vice-Leader's position while Blackie will remain as the leader!"
Her words astonished everyone in the vicinity as Blackie and Caitlyn's expression looked indescribable, under the order of the Grand Order Token, everything shall be obeyed and Blackie had no other choice. Caitlyn, on the other hand, couldn't help but shiver upon receiving the heavy responsibilities that landed on her shoulders.
But since she was a competitive woman, she liked challenges and would always try and surmount her limits. Expressing her gratefulness to Natalie and Dan, she deeply bowed along with the pardoned Blackie.
Witnessing their actions, Dan's lips lifted a small smile and said, "With this, I can say that I helped you achieved your dreams, right?"
Caitlyn turned her eyes at Dan as a sweet smile, which looked ethereal and divine, blossomed on her face, "Yes, thank you for everything, Dan."
Dan nodded his head in satisfaction, he was assured that under Caitlyn's administration, this Desert Wilderness Bazaar would surely flourish along with Takemikazuchi's Black Wing Gang. The two pairs of husband and wife, turned around to leave as Charlotte followed them from behind.
Blackie and Caitlyn who remained at the scene stared at each other, "I didn't expect that someone like you that is dubbed as an Asura would actually look so handsome," Blackie's cheeks reddened in embarrassment, witnessing his bashful reaction, Caitlyn took his arm and dragged him towards Blackie's room wherein they could discuss the intricacies of their alliance.
Meanwhile, the two couples who just met each other completely disregarded Charlotte's presence as they shut themselves in the room that Natalie temporarily stayed. Charlotte looked embarrassed to say something as she stood before the locked door, not knowing what to do.
She stood there, awaiting their emergence. However, several minutes later, strange inexplicable noises suddenly echoed from the room which made her retreat in shock and bashfulness.
