Chii! Chii appeared and immediately hacked into the nearby surveillance systems. Combining this with Ron's own observations, a figure soon entered Ron's sight. Before long, Chii gathered information on this individual. "Roy, a Heaven's Arena competitor and a member of AKA." Ron's gaze flickered. AKA, like TST, was a group of competitors from Heaven's Arena. The core of AKA consisted of three lower-ranked Floor Masters, a trio whose combined strength placed them near the bottom. "These guys... are they out of their minds?" Ron understood their motive but found their reasoning utterly nonsensical. They were worried Ron might challenge one of them if he gained the right to do so in the future. But it would still be a long time before Ron earned the right to challenge a Floor Master, and even then, he might not pick any of the three from AKA. With Ron's plans, he definitely wouldn't pick an opponent too weak. In other words, their fear was completely unfounded. And not only were they worried about nothing, but they also took action. This was something Ron could not tolerate. "This person's strength isn't very high." Ron moved rapidly toward the target. Roy hadn't noticed anything. "Don't move." Ron's figure appeared behind Roy, placing a blade at Roy's neck. The overwhelming aura pressed down on Roy, leaving him unable to move. Cold sweat trickled down Roy's forehead. "Talk." "I-I know nothing..." Before Roy could finish, Ron interrupted. "Don't take me for a fool. You know what I mean." Roy fell silent for a moment. "They sent me. I was only here to watch the result." Just then, Roy's phone rang. "Answer it." Ron gestured. Roy took out his phone. "Yes. The explosion has occurred. Ron died in the blast." When answering the call, Roy hesitated, wondering if he should reveal that Ron was still alive. But after careful consideration, Roy gave up on that idea. He didn't want to risk his life for those people. Roy could sense that Ron was truly willing to kill, and that killing intent was far stronger than Roy's own, despite Roy having taken multiple lives himself. Hanging up, Roy confessed everything. "I'm a member of AKA. This operation was ordered by the three core members." "Why?" "Because they were worried you'd challenge one of them." "Even after half a year or more, when I gain the challenge right, I might not choose them, yet they decided to kill me now?" "If you're alive, there's a chance. If you're dead, then there's no chance at all." "That's it?" "That's it." Ron found it absurd. He came from a family of assassins, yet he'd never shown such senseless bloodlust. These people killed just for this flimsy reason. It was worse than the Underworld Mafia. At least Gluttony, Kyler, and the others had some sort of reason for their actions. "Come up with a way to make them leave Heaven's Arena, and I'll spare your life. But you must never appear before me again." "Be useful, Understood?" "I Understand! I swear!" Ron wouldn't rely solely on Roy's promise. He took out his phone and called Mitani Doppo. "Ron?" "Senior Doppo, I need some advice." "Go ahead." "Just now, my car exploded. A bomb was placed under it..." "You're not hurt, right?" "I'm fine." "That's good. Do you know who did it?" "I caught someone from AKA. He confessed that the three core members of AKA ordered this." "AKA?" Mitani Doppo frowned. He knew of AKA and its poor relationship with TST, but due to their weakness, he'd never taken them seriously. "Ron, what do you plan to do?" "Right now, I'm having Roy find a way to make those three leave Heaven's Arena. But I'm not sure if he'll succeed, so I wanted to ask if I can take action against them inside Heaven's Arena." Mitani Doppo's pupils narrowed slightly. "Inside Heaven's Arena?" "That might not be acceptable. If you cause too big a disturbance, the Tower Master will be displeased." "So, if there's not much disturbance, is it okay?" "Mm... you could say that." "I understand. Thanks, Senior Doppo." "Ron, you want to move against those three? I know you're angry, but those three aren't weak. You might not be a match for them right now. Don't act rashly. If you need help, let me know at any time." "Senior Doppo, you misunderstand. I'm not angry." Ron wasn't angry. This kind of thing didn't warrant anger. As an assassin, killing was normal, and being killed was also common. Ron wasn't angry about what had happened; he simply wanted to kill the three core members of AKA, nothing more. "Let me investigate those three. I'll send you the details by email." "Okay, thank you, Senior Doppo." Ron hung up and looked at Roy. Roy forced a stiff smile. "Have you thought of a way?" "I can think of a way to get one of them to leave Heaven's Arena—my teacher." Roy continued, "But if you can capture my teacher alive, then he should have a way to force the other two to leave as well." Ron raised an eyebrow. "Your teacher would betray his companions?" "Of course. I learned my methods from him. If I can do this, he definitely can." Ron nodded. "Fine. Get it done. I want results by the end of today." "Yes." Time passed bit by bit. The three core members of AKA had no idea Ron was still alive. Believing Ron dead, they were happily drinking in celebration. "I knew the plan would succeed. That brat had just achieved some success and must have let his guard down." "He was too full of himself." "He really thought the world was as it seemed on the surface." "Now that the brat is dead, there's no risk of being challenged." "And TST won't grow stronger." "It's a double blessing!" "That kid died too easily. So weak." Just then, the skinny middle-aged man among them received a phone call—Roy calling. As he answered, a subtle smirk appeared on his face. The other two, seeing this, instantly knew who was calling and guessed the content. One smiled. The other's eyes revealed a hint of disdain, quickly concealed. Although these three were all core members of AKA, their thoughts were not entirely the same. One behaved normally. Another was obsessed with increasing personal strength. ----------------------------- You can read up to 120 Advanced chapters! Patreon(.)com/IDKjust
