The Return of the God Level Assassin

"I HAVE one, but it’s kind of rough and there’s a chance that we might fail," Luo Yan said.

Truthfully, he wanted to talk with Shen Ji Yun regarding the other’s past. But seeing how he purposely change the subject, it meant that he was still not ready to have that kind of talk with him.

That was fine. Luo Yan could wait until Shen Ji Yun told him about it on his own volition. That’s better than forcing the other to tell it to him. Knowing Shen Ji Yun, if Luo Yan asked, he would definitely answer and tell him everything. But that’s not what Luo Yan wanted.

It would feel like forcing someone to tell you their deepest secret. And the other person couldn’t help but tell it because they couldn’t refuse you. That didn’t really leave a good taste in Luo Yan’s mouth.

So, he would wait. He’s patient enough to do that.

"Let me hear your plan. I might be able to add some insight to make it more solid," Shen Ji Yun responded.

Luo Yan nodded and told the other his plan.

Listening to Luo Yan, Shen Ji Yun agreed that it was indeed a bit rough. But not impossible. Especially if they wanted to get to that oracle unnoticed, tied him up, and bring him here for interrogation. He then supplemented the plan with his own idea, making it more fool proof.

"We needed the lasso, but it’s effect is still in cool down. Should we continue the task later after lunch?" he asked, after he and Luo Yan exchanged ideas and agreed on the plan.

"Yeah, continuing later would be better," Luo Yan said. He should probably untie the lasso from the tree since he used it to tie the red dragon. "Wait here for a bit. I’ll go back and take the lasso." contemporary romance

"No, stay. I’ll do it," Shen Ji Yun said before Luo Yan could walk back to the tree where the red dragon was tied.

Luo Yan didn’t mind and just nodded. "The red dragon is currently asleep so Brother Ji Yun doesn’t need to worry that he would retaliate or something."

After he finished his interrogation, he poured a high-grade sleeping potion on the dragon to prevent the other from making a fuss. He was actually contemplating on whether to just kill the red dragon but at the end, he thought against it. Because an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. It’s way better than directly killing the dragon.

"Mashter, the plan just now, why didn’t it mention Eclipse and uncle?" Eclipse suddenly asked.

"Because we need to be as stealthy as possible. If all of us go there, the plan might fail," Luo Yan explained. "It’s definitely not because we didn’t want to take you with us. Besides," he looked at the still unconscious Dusk who was currently leaning on a tree. "I don’t think your uncle is in any condition to go back to the valley."

It wouldn’t be good if the other suddenly lost control of his Mana again because something triggered him. Which most likely would happen if they met the oracle and the other said something that could remind him of the past.

Besides, he was still unstable because of what the red dragon said. He certainly wasn’t in the state where he could do a stealth mission or something. So, it’s better to just let him stay here or anywhere away from the dragons’ valley.

Eclipse glanced at Dusk, his little face was filled with both unwillingness and worry. This little guy probably wanted to go with his master but understood that what his master said was also correct.

After much difficulty, as if he just made a life-or-death decision, the little boy finally said, "Mashter is right. Uncle is not really in a good condition to return to that gloomy valley. But- but what if uncle wakes up and he insisted on going there himself?"

Luo Yan smiled. "That’s why Eclipse is here. With your help, I’m sure you can persuade him to stay put."

Eclipse’s expression was suddenly filled with determination. "Don’t worry, Mashter. Eclipse will definitely look after uncle!"

Luo Yan chuckled and patted the little boy’s head. "I know Eclipse can do it."

Not long after, Shen Ji Yun returned. "I changed the lasso with a normal rope just in case," he said. "What do you plan to do with that dragon?"

"I thought of giving him to Brother Ze," Luo Yan answered. "Isn’t he still looking for a pet?"

That’s the brilliant idea he thought of earlier. Instead of simply killing the dragon here, wouldn’t it be better to just give it to his cousin as a gift? There was already a ready-made pet here and it’s still a dragon to boot. It would be such a shame to just get rid of it.

Shen Ji Yun was slightly surprised hearing that. Although it’s a bit unexpected, it’s still much better to just give the dragon to Bai Ze. But there’s just one problem. "Would that dragon even agree to make a contract with Bai Ze?"

"Well, Brother Ze could buy some item or potion that could make the dragon forget his past. Which, in turn, would make it much easier to form a contract with him. I’m sure that number one Alchemist in the game has that kind of potion in his store," he said. "If that doesn’t work, I can always threaten that dragon, so he would form a contract with Brother Ze on his own free will."

Now Shen Ji Yun started to wonder just what kind of ’heart to heart talk’ did Luo Yan had with that dragon that the latter would not hesitate to form a contract with someone just because he was threatened.

In his imagination, a smiling giant rabbit holding a knife to a small shivering dragon appeared. He had no doubt that that’s probably how the two looked like while Luo Yan was doing his interrogation.

He shook his head to shake that image off his mind. He then opened his Friend List to see if Bai Ze was online. Luckily enough, the other was indeed online. "He’s online. I’ll message him and tell him to come here."
