Chapter 892 How can someone be so selfish?
“…”
“…”
Complete silence enshrouded the room.
The only ones left inside were Rune, Alistair, his sister, and the 2 Semi Saints, Nux either killed or took the rest of them with him.
“I can’t believe this happened…”
Alistair muttered with a lost look on his face. The pressure that was pining him down had finally disappeared. He could not move as he wished.
However, the series of events that he had witnessed in front of his eyes…
The people he saw today, the two big names, standing right in front of him…
Just the memories of these events were enough for him to be frozen in fear.
Unconsciously, Alistair recalled the days he didn’t wish to recall and his entire body trembled in fear.
He was considered one of the most talented children when he was born, his other clan members treated him well and he didn’t let them down either,
He became the first Saint Stage Cultivator of his Clan, breaking all the limits and pushing his Clan to new heights, however, these new heights were scarier than he imagined, his Clan wasn’t prepared for what they were about to go through.
He was a Saint Stage Cultivator, yes, however, he had already exhausted all his potential, compared to the actual Saints with proper guidance, skills, spells, and other resources, he was nothing. However, he and his clan didn’t know that.
Arrogance came with power and in their arrogance, his Clan members provoked someone they shouldn’t have.
Alistair’s Clan was destroyed, but he and his sister were saved by Rune, who protected them from the enemies by pulling some strings and using her influence.
In exchange, Alistair swore his loyalty to Rune.
His Sister was completely oblivious to Rune’s existence, she only thought that it was her brother who saved her, Rune didn’t clear the misunderstanding either.
After that incident, Alistair’s Sister became his only family member, that was the reason why she doted on her and tried to fulfill all her wishes.
He formed an Assassin Hall that was devoted to Rune, Rune didn’t care about it at first, she only saved them because she was passing by, she never expected anything in return, however, Alistair continued to complete missions, rise in rank, and recruit more assassins, soon, the Shadow of Silence was a big name that even Rune couldn’t ignore.
In the end, she decided to become a Shadow Leader who sometimes appeared in front of the top members of the Assassin Hall and helped them complete missions that they couldn’t complete themselves.
For Rune, this turned from a pass time to something she actually got a little serious about and she started calling herself Ghostblade from Shadow of Silence.
Things continued well, and the Shadow of Silence continued to grow, until… today… 𝑶𝓋𝐥xt.𝓬𝑶𝐦
Just like he did all those years ago, Alistair offended someone he shouldn’t have, and this time, the enemy was so strong that even Rune, who saved him last time was helpless.
“Lady Ghostblade, I have sinned. I should have been more careful before picking my opponents.”
Alistair walked towards Rune and bowed his head.
With this incident, Shadow of Silence lost more than 50% of its power. As the true leader of the Shadow of Silence, Rune had all the right to execute him.
Alistair was prepared, he didn’t wish to continue living after doing what he had done either.
He glanced at his sister.

‘The Edge Clan will protect her.’
With that thought in his head, he gave in and prepared to die.
“Lady Ghostblade, I am ready to accept my sentence,” Alistair spoke.
His sister wanted to say something, however, as her eyes fell on Rune, she decided to stay silent.
Rune observed Alistair’s sister for a while, then, she glanced at Alistair who was kneeling on the floor.
“It was not your fault, you couldn’t have imagined that they would have a Divine Stage Cultivator supporting them. You only wanted to appease your sister and chose a weaker target to do that. It was just that the target you thought was weaker turned out to be much scarier than you imagined.”
Rune sighed.
Alistair’s sister, who was standing behind Alistair just kept her head low. She had nothing to say. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to return to the Edge Clan.
Rune sensed that.
‘How can someone be so selfish?’
She questioned inwardly as she glanced at Alistair’s sister. Then, another face appeared in her mind and a weak smile formed on her face.
She glanced at Alistair again, he was still kneeling on the ground with his head low, the people she lost, honestly, Rune didn’t feel that bad.
Those people were recruited by Alistair to begin with, if they were taken away because of his mistake, she had no right to say anything to him, the person who Rune truly felt bad for was the very man who was kneeling on the floor.
Rune had realized this way earlier, Alistair, he was blinded by his love for his sister, his sister, however, was a self-centered bitch who only found ways to use his brother’s strength to get ahead in her life. Her son wasn’t that different from her either, he used Alistair to get rid of his enemies and feel that fake sense of superiority.
Alistair was being used and Rune pitied him,
But who would have thought she would find herself in an even worse position now?
Rune smiled wryly.
Then, she glanced at the people inside the room and ordered,
“You all can leave.”
The people around frowned,
“We will think about our future actions later, right now, I need some time alone.”
Rune spoke.
The people glanced at each other, Alistair’s sister was the first one to leave. She didn’t even try to take her brother with him. Seeing her, the two Semi Saints left as well. The last one to leave was Alistair.
And once the room was empty, Rune took out a paper.
This was the most recent mission the Shadow of Silence had received,
[Assassination Target: Rune Feline]
