Novel Full Chapter 639 Step Up
“What’s wrong? Are you sick? Is there any injury?” Nathan panicked, wondering why Selena acted this way.
“I’m sorry.” Selena sighed.
“Did he manage to escape?” Nathan frowned.
Selena shook her head. “No. I managed to kill him. It’s just…
Selena buried her head in Nathan’s chest before saying with a shaking voice. “I have never thought it will be this hard to kill a single family member.
“Although I have decided to sever my relationship with him, it’s really hard for me to kill him. I don’t know how many times I’ve thought about this.
“Just the thought alone scares me and makes me uncomfortable, and once I did it, it was terrible.” Selena sighed. “I wonder how my uncle could treat a family member like this?”
“!!!” Nathan widened his eyes. It turned out Selena was having a hard time because she killed her uncle.
Although Selena had killed a lot of people, this was the first time she killed a family member.
On Earth, Nathan had once plotted against his father and thrown him into prison. Yet, there wasn’t a single ounce of empathy remaining in his heart.
He thought it was normal, but when he saw Selena, he thought about it differently.
Despite knowing that her uncle had done a lot of bad things to her, she still considered him a part of the family, someone related by blood.
While it was true that such feelings made her look weak, she was still decisive enough to make a rational judgment, which was to kill her uncle.
The difference between him and Selena was the lack of empathy. In the end, it might be the difference in their upbringing.
Selena’s father loved her a lot, so he must have taught her how important a family was. As a result, she understood empathy.
Meanwhile, Nathan had been beaten up as long as he could remember. There was nothing left in his heart, only revenge.
After realizing the situation, Nathan smiled. “In that case, don’t let go of that empathy. You are kind, but still decisive. I know for sure that you will do the necessary thing once you reach a certain spot.
“If you still think it’s too much for you, I will lend you my ears. If not, I can even do the dirty job for you.” Nathan smiled.
Selena shook her head. “No. This is my family’s problem. Because of what happened, I have to deal with them thoroughly. Don’t worry about it anymore. They won’t retaliate.”
“They? Ah!” Nathan almost forgot about the mother’s family. It appeared Selena had to eliminate the potential threat, which was the count’s wife and her daughter.
It was probably why she felt so bad that she locked herself in the room.
Nathan nodded. “Alright. Do whatever you want. Still, what happened in the last few days?”
“That’s…”
…
4 days ago.
“What are we going to do, sir?”
“We have spotted the target coming to the city. It will take her at least five minutes to reach this location.”
“Should we set up an ambush?”
Several people were reporting as Selena’s uncle, Irving Ashton, and the leader of the Underdog, Levas, stood next to each other.
“I have received the payment. The enemy this time is a young girl, who is said to have the ability equal to a mature class alien. There’s a chance she is strong enough to fight multiple mature class aliens.
“On the other hand, I’m already a grandmaster according to the new classification. I have two subordinates at the master level. In addition, you are also a master level summoner, Count Ashton.
“We’ll attack her without underestimating her ability. After all, she is the person who is chosen by the sage.
“We only have one chance. If we let her into the city, she will definitely survive. That’s why we’ll do our best to kill her.” Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire
“I know.” Irving nodded his head. “The only problem will be her familiars. It’s said that her vampire has become a duchess, which is the same as my vampire.
“I have more ena than her, so I alone am enough to stop her.” Irving thought for a moment. “You and your subordinates will ambush her on my signal.”
“Signal, huh?”
“Yes. I’m going to stop her on the way and try to lower her guard. When she becomes reckless, she is bound to not care about her surroundings. That’s when you will attack.”
Levas believed this strategy was reasonable. Although Irving was not a powerful summoner, he had his fair share of battle experience.
By making himself the bait, Irving gained the trust of the Underdog. Besides, they were assassins. They were better at taking someone out swiftly.
Levas nodded her head. “Fine. We’ll cooperate with you. Don’t forget about the rest of the payment.”
“You will get it once we kill her.” He snorted.
Irving simply walked away, ready to stop Selena on the road. Meanwhile, Levas raised his hand. “Scatter. You two will get ready to ambush her. Even if you can’t kill her, stopping her is fine. I will deliver the killing blow. It’s a shame to let such a beautiful woman die, but it can’t be helped.
“We’re assassins, not bandits.” Levas turned to the other subordinates. “The rest of you will get ready to form a net. Even if you can’t defeat her, it’s fine to stop her. We’ll definitely kill her. Make sure that she can’t go to the city.”
His subordinates nodded their heads before moving to their respective positions.
Meanwhile, Selena calmly walked on the road as though nothing would harm her.
However, her eyes soon shifted to the figure standing in the middle of the road.
“…” Selena squinted her eyes. “To think you would be here, Un… Ir… Bastard.”
Selena felt uncomfortable calling him by his name, but she ended up insulting him instead due to Nathan’s influence.
“Bastard? It’s you who is the bastard. You should have thanked me for letting you live all this time. Yet, not only do you repay me with such an attack, but you are also ruining my career.” Irving pointed at Selena. “This is the end for you, Selena. You’re going to die today.”
