Assassination System

Her sudden outburst of courage stunned the two but they nodded their heads in confirmation and smiled towards each other. Dan gazed at Grace with complicated emotions visible on his visage. Back when he first met Grace, her eyes were clouded with despair and helplessness. In comparison, today. Grace looked valiant and had a positive outlook towards the future.

Dan saved Grace for the sake of establishing his own merchant empire, after all, Grace possessed the wit and experience needed to stand above others. But now, Dan only had a single wish. And that was she would become happy in whatever endeavor she\'s doing.

Finishing their breakfast, Natalie cleaned the table and the three started their discussion with Juliet listening on them at the side. Clenching both of her fists, Grace gathered her courage and said, "Young master, Elder Sister Natalie, I wish to stop relying on you two and work on my own..."

Her expression looked awkward and Dan along with Natalie who heard her words couldn\'t help but chuckle, "Grace, what are you saying? You made us feel like you\'re gonna be gone for long when you\'re just going to work..." Dan rolled his eyes and scolded while Natalie supported him, "That\'s right, Grace, you shouldn\'t do that to us, our hearts are weak so don\'t give us that kind of suspense..."

Grace lifted her head in confusion, "Young master, but this is work that I\'m saying, you know? If I\'m gonna start a job, it means that I won\'t be able to stay here as frequently as I wanted to..."

Dan locked his eyebrows, "Yep, so what\'s wrong with it? As long as you won\'t go and work in another Empire\'s territory, the two of us won\'t really bother you with that..." Grace glanced at Natalie and the latter nodded his head in approval.

"Indeed, we won\'t bother you regarding that matter, but at least let us see where you\'re going to work in..." Dan commented and Natalie clapped her hands together, "That\'s a good idea! We can explore Grace\'s workplace and we can also have some quality time with Juliet!"

Juliet who heard the words quality time swiftly lifted her head and scanned her eyes on her beloved Papa and Mama. Her bright expression and her excited eyes evoked chuckles among the three as Grace nodded and said, "Okay, young master, I\'ll show you my working place, however, please don\'t be weirded out by it, since it may look quite strange..."

Dan waved his hands, "It\'s fine, it\'s fine, I\'ve seen weirder things that you could imagine..." He chuckled and Grace said no more as Natalie dragged her towards the dressing room. Behind them, Juliet tagged along as Dan exclaimed from behind, "Grace, can you make sure that Natalie won\'t attract as much attention as she would when we go out, later?"

Grace movements stopped and she turned around to see him smirking before nodding her head in understanding. Natalie who didn\'t understand their actions couldn\'t help but stare at them in conclusion as Grace explained, "Young master wants me to apply some makeup and reduce Elder Sis\'s beauty..."

"And why does he want me to look ugly?" Natalie asked and Grace revealed a small smile on her face, "It should be because the Young master doesn\'t want anyone to ogle his Companion\'s body other than him..."

"Hmmm," Natalie pondered and swept her gaze over at Dan before sweetly smiling and following Grace into the dressing room.

Dan stared at the scenery beside him. His countenance revealed his melancholy and his eyes flashed with the countless vicissitudes of life. Lifting his hand, he traced his silhouette that engraved on the table as he shouted in indignance. "Just how long until you guys finished dressing yourselves up?!"

Women really were women and it took them at least two hours of scavenging the drawers before they could find clothes that they felt satisfied with.

By the time that they walked out of the dressing room. Dan looked like he aged for several decades.

"Dear, what\'s wrong? Did you wait that long?" Natalie asked in concern while Dan turned speechless, "Nope, I just waited here for several hours without anything to do other than sit here and await my execution..."

Natalie wryly smiled and Grace stared at Dan in awkwardness. They spent so much time looking for suitable clothes only to find that it would contrast their appearance. At this moment, Natalie\'s countenance greatly changed. Her sharp eyebrows which intimidated anyone that looked at it turned gentle and her supple cheeks that looked soft to touch looked flatter and plain.

Grace maintained her current appearance, but Natalie suppressed her own, transforming into a plain and average young woman that won\'t stand out in the crowd. The three clad in simple fiery robes of the Academy stepped out and for the first time, Dan observed the entire Paradyne Academy in all of its glory.

All pathways were made with reinforced white marble, intersecting each other and leading to different directions.

Riddled between the grassland and trees, fake mountains along with rivers and fountains spurting fresh spring waters. There were numerous statues of different people honored by the academy. The fresh vegetation in the area cleansed the air and breathing the air made one feel relaxed.

The Paradyne Academy covered a large area of at least fifteen thousand acres and separated between different regions such as the Outer Disciples Region, Inner, Core and Elders Region. The most bustling areas of them all was the center Region also known as the Inner Disciples Region where the Fragrant Peak Pavilion stood.

Numerous disciples were all around the area doing their tasks and a general sense of cooperation and harmony could be felt when staring at their movements. Dan\'s group eventually arrived at the Entertainment Block of the Inner Disciples Region.

The Entertainment Block looked like a marketplace with numerous hawkers advertising their merchandise. After fending off these persistent merchants, Dan\'s group finally arrived in a deserted alleyway where a dilapidated hall stood with a titled plaque that said, "Mirthful Fairies Association."

Grace\'s expression turned indescribable and Dan chimed in at the side, "Mirthful Fairies Association, what a feminine name, it really suits you, Grace."

Grace revealed a strange smile and Natalie remained silent while holding Juliet\'s hands. Grace stepped forward and knocked on the doors, "Ermm, hello, this is the new trainee, Grace Vermillion reporting for duty..." Her voice rang loud and clear but there was no response behind the door.

Just as Dan became impatient, the door suddenly burst open as Natalie swiftly erected a Spiritual Qi barrier which protected them from the wooden splinters. Dan\'s expression flickered and he subconsciously activated his Divine Art as lightning crackled around his body.

Staring at the hall\'s direction, the dust settled down and visibility returned. However, the scene that Dan saw struck him silly along with Natalie whose mouth widened in shock.

Before their eyes, a reverse harem of bulky men could be seen staring at their direction with shining lights within their eyes.

"M-mirthful Fairies Association...?"

Dan murmured in the air.
