Assassination System Chapter 189 Despair of the Luzon Clan

Today, the Luzon Clan celebrated the return of their strongest genius from the Paradyne Academy.
Every disciple and Elders prepared small gifts, while the guards enjoyed double the salary as a jubilant atmosphere continuously revolved around the Luzon Clan.
Natalie stared at this familiar place where she lived a part of her childhood. Complex emotions surfaced on her face and Dan hooked her arms around her body. She trembled for a moment but when she saw his devious expression, she played along and revealed a seductive one of her own.
"Dan Gabriel Longinus and Natalie Longinus from the Longinus Clan has arrived!"
The guard hollered and when the words Natalie Longinus echoed out, literally every disciple from the Paradyne Academy that came here to observe the fanfare craned their necks. However, their expressions turned sour when they saw someone embracing the Lightning Empress.
"Who the hell is that bastard? He's actually embracing the Lightning Empress? Who does he think he is?!" Disciples whispered to each other, forming a commotion that drowned all sound in the residence.
"Young master, Young Mistress! Welcome, welcome, come here and seat with me on the high seats!" Patriarch Warren personally received them with an amiable expression on his face. And Natalie who engraved his face in her heart and her mind felt strange when she saw how gentle he was to them.
'I guess, I was too insignificant at that time that I didn't deserve to be remembered...' She thought in her mind and returned his gesture in kind while suppressing the bubbling rage in her heart.
The reason for all of this celebration was apparently, Jamie Luzon acquired a slot for the Mystic Realm of the Undead, one of the mystic realms that the Paradyne Academy governed for the sake of its disciples. Inside that Mystic Realm existed so many dangers, yet the number of lucky chances and the possibility of transforming into a carp leaping through the Dragon's Gate enticed every disciple of the Academy.
"To our Luzon Clan's prosperity and our future success, Cheers!"
A deafening chorus formed and each and everyone present in the area chugged down the liquor in their hands. Patriarch Warren stared lovingly at Jamie with an incessant smile on his face.
"I thank Patriarch Warren of this warm reception since it is the first time that we met, it should be proper for a junior like me to introduce myself, right?" Dan stood up, clasped his hands together and continued, "This one's name is Dan Gabriel Longinus, beside me is my wife, Natalie Longinus, it's a pleasure meeting someone of Senior's..."
"Senior? What's wrong?"
Dan's worried voice echoed out when he saw that Patriarch Warren's figure stood still like a statue. When he saw the innocence on Dan's face when he introduced himself again, an ominous premonition formed in his mind,
"The first time that we met? How is that possible? The man that I conversed with in the past two days should be him! Why is he acting like he doesn't know me?!"
"Could it be that..."
Patriarch Warren shook his head and denied the ideas forming in his mind, it was not the right time to feel pessimistic. Since for now, it was the time for them to celebrate Jamie's success.
Standing on a podium was a blonde-haired young man, the young man's features looked younger than what you would expect as a Core Disciple. Despite his age, his cultivation was at the Middle Divine Soul Realm and has even formed his own Sword Heart.
Crushing a jade stone, a small voice amplifying formation floated up in the air before his lips. Clearing his throat, he said, "First, let me thank the esteemed Honorary Disciples from the same Academy as myself for setting some time and coming in here to congratulate this humble me."
"Especially, the Lightning Empress, Natalie Longinus. Ever since you defeated me that day, I started a strict training regimen and after recently completing it, I can't help but anticipate the day where we can stand together as sparring partners once again..."
His words sent clamor echoing throughout the area and those who previously looked down at Natalie disappeared like smoke and turned into hardcore fans. Someone that had the ability to turn someone as stubborn as Jamie was someone of high capability.
"I thank everyone from all sorts of influences for coming in here and celebrate this occasion with me, and as thanks, the Luzon Clan has prepared a modest banquet that I hope that you would find pleasurable..."
"Since I bet that everyone is thinking right now about how talkative I am, I will now finish this speech of mine..." Jamie lightly chuckled as he finished his sentence, his words provoked laughter from the audience and the admiring gazes of everyone followed him as he descended from the podium and sat beside the Patriarch with Natalie and Dan at the other side.
The festivities started and almost every table was filled with laughter. Patriarch Warren stared lovingly at Jamie, he was his only hope of breaking through this mundane empire and rising through the skies as a phoenix.
"Ah!"
A high-pitched cry of panic suddenly rang out.
Thud, thud, thud...
Continuous dull thuds echoed throughout the entire residence and when Warren opened his eyes to look. He saw every disciple from his clan, fallen on the ground while incessantly convulsing with foam coming out of their mouths.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Dan shot up from his chair and Natalie stared warily in the area.
With the sudden collapse of the disciples, panic ensued among the other participants and the previously jubilant atmosphere of the residence turned into chaos and despair.
"JUNIOR...JUST WHAT DID YOU DO!" Patriarch Warren appeared before Dan's figure and clutched his neck. Dan's body lifted in the air and he struggled to speak under Warren's hold. If there was someone else that was capable of doing this, it would none other than Dan.
"Old Geezer, stay your hand!"
Lightning flashed and Patriarch Warren felt his hands going numb and his grip loosened. Violently coughing, Dan knitted his eyebrows as he fiercely shouted, "What the hell is wrong with you, Patriarch of the Luzon Clan?! Don't you realize that attacking a disciple from the Paradyne Academy is a severe crime and challenge of authority?!"
Patriarch Warren's expression looked indescribable, the hate and anger that he felt made him lose his reasoning as he pounced at Dan's figure. Rotating his cultivation base, Natalie who defended Dan flew backward and struck a pillar before stopping.
"I would stop right there if I were you, Old Geezer..." A calm and dignified voice echoed in the skies and everyone's eyes widened in shock when they realized that the person that suddenly appeared was the one and only Headmaster of the Paradyne Academy, Mathias Paradyne himself.
