Assassination System Chapter 244 In the Midst of Recovery

A new morning arrived along with the first burst of sunlight. Each and every disciple of the Paradyne Academy awakened to do their jobs, hastening the recover process of the Academy from the damage that it suffered, everyone worked hard to accomplish their goals. Commoners assisted the cultivators while the cultivators did the same, vice-versa.
Dan, Natalie and Grace awakened, slipping off the bed, the three of them worked in silence. Natalie and Grace made the breakfast while Dan fetched Juliet and Zieve from their apartment. By the time that Dan returned back at home, it was filled with the enticing aroma of meat and vegetables.
Vincent who was doing his daily routine at the backyard of the Pavilion detected the scent with his heightened senses and hurriedly turned around to look at the direction of Natalie's residence. His eyes sparkling with hunger and greed.
Abandoning his daily routine, Vincent dashed towards the opposite direction and swiftly appeared by the door, rotating his cultivation base, he stretched his hand out and manipulated the array attached on Natalie's door and it slowly opened on its own.
Entering Natalie's residence, Vincent suddenly stiffened for he felt coldness originating ahead of him and when he lifted his head. Sure enough, Dan was there, looking at him with a small smirk on his face.
"Natalie, it looks like we garnered the attention of a hungry ghost again! Can you pass me the garlic?" Dan gestured with his hand and Vincent fiercely retorted.
"What hungry ghost are you talking about? I'm just here to check on the condition of my little sister, Juliet." With knitted eyebrows, he swept his gaze in the room and found Juliet staring at him with an astonished expression on her face.
Seating beside her, he swung his arm around Juliet's shoulders and lightly chuckled, "How are you, Little Sis? Did your father or Mother Grace, bully you again? If they do so, just tell your Big Brother Vincent, I'll beat them up for you..."
Zieve awkwardly stared at Vincent, while Dan crossed his arms together and replied, "Beat us up? You sure are getting arrogant, Vincent. Not only you're shamelessly freeloading, you're also trying to coax my daughter up and take her side..."
"Hooo?" Vincent raised an eyebrow and said, "Dan, you sure got arrogant, eh? Just because you broke through the Divine Soul Realm doesn't mean that you're stronger than me. Remember that true geniuses can jump through realms to fight..."
He stood up and stared at Dan's eyes as the fierce intent of battle surged within each other's heart. Dan felt that his authority was being challenged and so, with a light smile on his face. He said to Vincent, "Let's take this outside, if you win I'll let you freeload whenever you want but if you lose, let's see..."
Dan revealed a pondering look for a moment before saying with a smile, "If you lose, you'll have to pay Ten Spirit Stones for every dish that you freeload from us..."
Vincent almost stumbled on his footsteps in his way outside of the residence, "Ten Spirit Stones?! You're really getting more shameless and greedy, ah!" Dan merely shook his head and chuckled, "My cooking is something that not even the gods above the nine heavens could resist. If you don't wanna pay the price, then that's fine, you just don't have to come back when you lose..."
Vincent glared back at him before turning around to leave. Dan lightly chuckled for a moment before following him outside. Juliet, Zieve, Natalie and Grace who saw the two's banter could only shake their heads and sigh as the two women wrapped up their cooking and brought the dishes on the table.
"Shall we go outside and observe your father's hot-headedness and stupidity?" Grace offered towards Juliet, her two hands carried huge trays of food.
"Yeah, let's do that, Mama. I prefer eating outside than indoors." Juliet agreed with a nod and she stood up along with Zieve who walked towards Grace and helped her carry the trays.
"Hooo, you're getting really good at this. Zieve, are you trying to butter us up so that we'll agree that you can get together with Juliet?" Grace teased and Zieve exploded into a furious blush that he desperately hid. Natalie merely chuckled at the side while Juliet's expression turned indescribable.
At the backyard, fluctuations of Spiritual Energy summoned a tempest that made the entire backyard, windy. The wooden chairs and tables tumbled around as Vincent and Dan clashed against each other with their fists.
Lightning crackled along with resplendent lights that resembled the sun, making the four feel like they were watching a firework's display.
"Today is the day that you're gonna crumble on your knees, Dan!" Vincent madly screamed, the intensity of the brilliant halo that enveloped his body increased as a deafening roar resonated.
The ground underneath Dan crumbled under the pressure, yet the confident smile on his face never faded, "If you think that just a little bit of force can force me down, then you're completely wrong!" Rotating his cultivation base to the utmost limit, veins on his arms bulged outward and Lightning madly danced around his body.
Grace sat beside Juliet and munched on some fruits while Zieve leaned on a pillar of the pavilion. His expression revealed not any surprise for he understood that such an intense battle was a normal daily life occurrence for this family.
Natalie who expected a peaceful breakfast brought her arms akimbo and swept her gaze at the two. Opening her mouth, she sharply inhaled before shouting in a voice that resembled the roar of an angered dragon.
"Cut it out, the two of you! It's so already in the morning yet you guys are already that hyped?!" Her voice rang out like muffled thunder, sending everyone into a trance. When they recovered, Vincent and Dan stared at each other for a moment before simultaneously turning towards Natalie's direction with an awkward smile on their lips.
Having reached a mutual understanding, the two of them calmed down and ate breakfast together with Natalie and the others. After their sumptuous breakfast, Everyone from Dan's family accompanied Zieve and Juliet towards the reestablished Entertainment Block.
As one of the Paradyne Academy's primary source of income, the Headmaster decided that it should receive the most attention when it comes to repairs. As a result, the Entertainment Block recovered so swiftly and became filled with towering pavilions and buildings that still didn't have an owner.
It was up to the previous establishment to claim a spot and that included Juliet's Dreamy House. Arriving at the previous location of the Dreamy House. The three of them frowned when they saw a bunch of people all clad in the same robes gathered before the towering pavilion that the Academy built for the Dreamy House.
"This is definitely a good place for our Silk and Armor Pavilion...." A fatty middle-aged man scanned the pavilion and nodded his head in satisfaction.
"It is definitely a good place sire, but the previous owner of this pavilion before that disaster is the Dreamy House..." His subordinate that stood at the side mumbled in a low voice and the fatty middle-aged man fiercely glared at him, saying.
"The Dreamy House? Do you really think that I would put those bastards who only knows how to sell aphrodisiacs for horny old bastards in my eyes? Hmmmph!"
Witnessing his master's actions. The subordinate could only bow his head and close his mouth. Since his subordinate never spoke a word once again, the fatty middle-aged man felt good about himself and took a step forward towards the pavilion.
"Place your feet on the ground and I'll cut them off..." A cold voice stopped him on his tracks. The voice sounded like it came from a youngster so the middle-aged man didn't heed the young man's request. Turning his head behind him, his eyes widened in shock when he saw the Honorary Disciple's badge on the young man's chest.
"Ah... Ermmm... I-I-I didn't expect that someone of such status would take fancy of this one's pavilion. If young master wished so, I would gladly give up on this location..." The fatty middle-aged man stuttered through his words, eyeing the young man before him. His gaze wandered at the two women at his side and he almost lost his composure.
Beside Dan stood two women that looked too beautiful to behold, their countenance that mysteriously sparkled under sunlight and the swaying of their slender-frame as they moved caught his attention. Realizing that the young man was still looking at him, he cleared his throat and bowed his head even deeply.
Dan had the badge of an Honorary Disciple on him so it was understandable that someone of his capability would be escorted by heaven defying beauties. But since he was also a man, he couldn't help but take another glance and the badges plastered on the two women's chest intensified his shock.
"T-T-Three Honorary Disciples?! What the hell is going on here?!" The fatty middle-aged man's thoughts raced and his heart started beating fast. His reaction felt similar to a commoner finding out that the Emperor himself was standing right in front of his eyes. The shock of realization and epiphany all combined together that it felt too surreal.
Dan calculated the middle-aged man's reaction so he wasn't that astonished. Zieve who saw the middle-aged man's complexion could only bitterly smile for he was sure that he had the same face when he first discovered that Juliet had three Honorary Disciples as her parents.
"Can you step aside now? We don't have time for small talks..." Dan coldly said and the middle-aged man felt his spine shivering from fear. With cold sweat dripping down his back, he clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed before running towards the opposite direction with his subordinate.
Juliet stared at his father's actions with knitted eyebrows. Since they had the necessary papers for the pavilion. Surely, there wasn't a reason for him to scare that middle-aged man away, right? Zieve felt the same and looked at Dan's direction.
"Just because the two of you guys are known to be one of the most powerful influence here in the Entertainment Block after the Charming Pavilion, people with bad intentions will still intentionally go after the two of you, especially if you guys kept on acting like pacifists, you must show them who's stronger or else they'll keep on going after you..."
Dan casually said without turning his head, his wives who stood beside him nodded their heads in agreement and Juliet along with Zieve kept their silence. However, the two of them stared at each other and reached a tacit understanding that would surely help them in the future.
Entering the pavilion, Dan found that it still didn't have the furnitures and arrangements that he specifically requested from the Academy. Sighing, he didn't have the right to complain for if not for the fact that he used his authority as a Honorary Disciple, none of the Elders would even care for his concern.
Turning to look at Juliet and Zieve, Dan crossed his arms together and said, "I have already requested support from the Academy but it looks like they're still not here..."
"Oh right, what a coincidence, young Dan..." The familiar voice of an old man appeared amidst the darkness of the pavilion along with a Spatial Tear where Mathias emerged from within.
Juliet and Zieve were startled while Dan and his wives, frowned. "What the hell old man, can you at least do a proper entrance instead of coming out of that dark and unstable looking hole..."
Mathias lightly chuckled upon hearing Dan's words before saying, "You sure know your way around words. Unfortunately, I am not here to play, come with me this instant along with your wives since I have something special for you three..."
The wide smile on Mathias's face intrigued the three and they nodded their heads in agreement. Mathias swept his eyes at the empty Pavilion before throwing a Spatial Ring at Juliet's direction.
"Little Girl, that's my present and gift of apologies for you, everything within that Spatial Ring is something that will help your company soar greater heights than before..." Mathias mysteriously smiled and before Juliet could express her thanks, a Spatial Opening manifested and swallowed Mathias along with Dan and his wives.
