Assassination System Chapter 142 Garden of Eden

Since the Paradyne Academy possessed such vast lands under its belt. Numerous organizations, associations, and companies invested their assets and formed their own monopoly inside the Academy. One of them was the medicine pavilion owned by one of the high-ranking elders of the Academy.
In order to keep everything in order, the medicine pavilion hoarded medicinal ingredients along with plants so that they could be the sole source of medicinal pills. However, such forceful methods garnered the attention of several associations that stood against their iron fists.
One of them was the Mirthful Fairies Association, an association full of men with eccentric traits and hobbies. Because of this, they became the medicine pavilion's first target and in the end, they had to rely on the medicine pavilion's help in pacifying their aggressive plants.
The first remedy that the leader of the Mirthful Fairies Association did was to discard all the plants and as a result, they acquired great losses. However, to their leader's horror, they found that the soil itself became Yang Affiliated. Having no other choice, the Mirthful Fairies Association paid a great price to recruit the elders of the medicine pavilion in pacifying their plants.
Today, an Elder from the medicine pavilion arrived near the gates of the Mirthful Fairies Association. Staring at the rotten and dilapidated wooden entrance, the elder couldn't keep his disdain from leaking. As someone of power, those who recruited him had proper facilities and even held great receptions for his arrival.
In comparison, the Mirthful Fairies Association looked and felt like shit.
"Hey, just how long are you going to make me wait in here? You should at least offer some beverages for me to enjoy..." He rubbed his aching temples and mumbled in indignance, the bulky man behind the receptionist desk rolled his eyes and replied in a feminine voice, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience sir, but I am only following my leader's orders. If you want to relax, please head for the lounge, I'm sure someone would receive you there and offer you massages..."
The Elder's countenance paled and his body shivered from the thought of being massaged by men whose body looked as thick as tree trunks. Shaking his head, he fiercely glared at the receptionist before retreating at the side.
"What an old fool, does he really think that just because he's from the medicine pavilion that I would serve him like he's the Emperor? Hmmph! He's not even a handsome one, just a plain old bag of bones..." The receptionist mumbled under his breath, but on the outside, he maintained his professionalism and continued smiling towards the Elder despite the fact that he was being treated like trash. Such was the life of someone like him who worked in customer service.
Surrounded by highly-intelligent plants that submitted themselves before her. Grace stood in the spotlight and at this moment, she looked like the Empress of Plants! Kevin and Conner stared blankly at this scene before their faces flashed in excitement,
"Kevin, you actually found a goddamned diamond amidst the pebbles!"
"Shit, we must inform everyone of this news! Finally, we can finally be free from those bastards at the medicinal pavilion!"
The two men held each other's hands and joyfully walked towards the front-desk of the pavilion, upon arrival, Kevin's visage turned ugly when he noticed the usual old bag of bones staring at him with a dark expression on his face.
"Oh, isn't this the Elder from the Medicine Pavilion? Sister, why didn't you tell me that he's here?" Conner chimed at the side and glared at the receptionist. The receptionist stared blankly at Conner, but when he received the signal, he assumed a fearful expression and said, "No, this one wouldn't dare...I just followed the protocol in receiving customers for the Garden of Eden..."
Conner deeply sighed, "It's fine, you don't need to beat yourself for it," His gaze swept over at the Elder from the Medicine Pavilion before saying, "This humble one offers his apologies for the lack of convenience for the Elder, I do hope that Senior will act kindly and forgive this humble one..."
Kevin and Conner gave a slight bow, but when their gazes met in mid-air. The two meaningfully smiled as the Elder from the Medicine Pavilion said, "It's fine, it's fine, you don't need to think about the reception, as if you can afford to have such things..." He sarcastically said and veins bulged on Kevin's forehead as Conner hurriedly pacified his anger.
"Just lead me to the Garden of Eden. My time is precious and there may be people that need my help while we're needlessly talking..." The Elder flicked his sleeves and Kevin along with Conner led him towards the Garden of Eden.
Upon arrival, the Elder saw Grace and was stunned by her beauty. Lightly coughing, he approached her and said, "Ermm, Little Miss, are you also interested in flowers and plants?" Grace stared at the Elder's wretched appearance and saw the meaningful light within his eyes. She felt disgusted about it and said, "Are you retarded? I wouldn't be here if I'm not interested in flowers and medicinal plants..."
"Retarded..." The Elder's expression darkened, he didn't expect even in his wildest imagination that such a pure-looking beauty like Grace would actually use such vile language. Lightly coughing, he engraved her image inside his mind before retreating.
"This one from the Medicine Pavilion shall now start in pacifying the aggressive flowers and plants, everyone, please stay back." His words rang loud and clear and he glanced at Grace, looking for signs of intimidation within her indifferent expression.
To his dismay, Grace merely glanced at him for a moment before retreating with Kevin and Conner. The Elder's expression darkened even further, clenching his fists, he swore in his heart that he would definitely make Grace regret being so disrespectful with someone like him.
Shaking his head, he calmed his nerves and cleared his mind. In pacifying aggressive plants and flowers with Spiritual Intelligence, one needed to be as gentle as possible, whispering sweet nothings towards the plant's body, one should slowly inject their Spiritual Qi inside the plants so that they would recognize you as a friendly person.
In return, once they became familiar with your Spiritual Aura, they would listen to your orders and would calm down around your presence.
Kneeling on the ground, he approached a medicinal plant that looked like a whip. Making sure that his body would touch the plant, the Elder started his whispers,
"Oh, baby, the suffering that I suffered before I was able to arrive in your side is something unimaginable even with the greatest of minds..."
"If you ever wished for it, I would stretch my hands and pluck the moon and stars from the skies then offer it to you just so I could get a glimpse of your beauty..."
"I would walk through the three great continents and swim through the seven great oceans, have my skin flayed, then drag my balls on broken glass all while being sprinkled with salt, just so I could listen to your fart from a voice transmission jadeslip..."
Kevin, Conner and Grace who observed at the side couldn't help but shiver upon hearing the Elder's whispers. The bastard even took the effort into changing his voice into the most mellow and enticing one just so he could earn the plant's recognition.
"Excuse me, what the fuck did you just say, you old bag of stinky bones?!" The carnivorous plant that the Elder was embracing suddenly trembled and bit his arms as the latter miserably shrieked.
The plants in his vicinity who heard his words rebelled and counter-attacked with insults.
"Fucking hell, how dare you whispered to us such vile words?!"
"Get the hell out of here, stinky bones! If you dare to stay here any longer I will uproot myself and sacrifice my Plant Essence so I can smack your ass away!"
"Disgusting old bones, someone come and take him away or else I will stop producing fruits!"
The medicinal plants and flowers rebelled. Those who possessed stronger Plant Essence even uprooted themselves and pounced at the frightened Elder's figure.
"Everyone, calm the fuck down!"
Grace's fierce voice reverberated across the entire area and as if a spell. All the rebelling plants and flowers turned silent and their cries also disappeared. Their figures deflated and those who uprooted themselves abruptly returned back in the soil.
"I-I-Impossible! How can you calm them down by insulting them?! Could it be that these plants are masochists?!" The Elder cried out and upon hearing his words, the plants trembled and Grace glared at the Elder.
"Old bag, can you just shut up and get the hell out of this place? In each second you spend in here, the more agitated they become..." Grace interrupted the trembling plants and the Elder's expression turned ugly. Glaring at Grace, he said "Young miss, your words are too vicious compared to your beauty. Do you even know who I am?"
The Elder maintained his etiquette and lifted his head in a prideful gesture. As a member of the Medicine Pavilion, he had the right to brag.
"Why would care about the identity of an Elder that looks like he should be in a retirement home somewhere in the slums?" Grace sneered, towards someone as lecherous as this Elder, one needed to be aggressive or else they would pester you in every moment that they could.
It was the same as handling bullies. If you want them to stop bothering you. One should fight back and they would disappear before your eyes and never bully you again.
The Elder choked in his own saliva and the two men who observed at the side held their stomachs as they turned around and tried their best in suppressing their laughter. However, the faint trembling of their shoulders indicated their failure.
"Good, good, good...Congratulations, you have successfully offended an Elder of the Medicine Pavilion. Make sure that you don't become sick, okay?" The Elder turned his back and scurried away, leaving the dumbfounded Grace behind.
"He was an elder of the Medicine Pavilion?" She asked in a blank tone. Kevin and Conner nodded their heads, "Wow, we didn't expect that this new sister of ours would be so vicious and domineering, to think that you would fight back against a high-ranking Elder of the Academy..."
They honestly praised Grace's actions, but when the latter heard their words. Her expression paled as she thought.
"D-d-did I inadvertently bring trouble for the young master?"
