Chapter 136
Rise of the Crusader
136 Plotting
Meanwhile, inside a room in the fourth block, Vincent sat in the dark and quiet room with his hand folded across his chest.
A knock suddenly came from the door, it was then pushed a second later, and as the person walked into the room, he turned on the light.
âSir, I have brought the people you asked for.â The obese build teenager called Simon exclaimed.
And it wasnât up to three seconds after Simon spoke, and three figures walked into the room.
There were two males and one female, and if there was one feature that was similar between the three of them was the arrogant expression that was on their faces.
Vincent, however, didnât seize the three that had just walked in. He appeared to be staring at them, but at the same time, his focus was elsewhere.
âSir Vin-â
Simon was about to speak when Vincent waved his hand at him.
Vincent then seized the three students in front of him, âSimon, you must have a death wish, right!â
.....
âI told you to get competent individuals, instead you brought trash to me. Does it look like I want to have a house cleaned up?â Vincent spoke in a cold tone.
There was a displeased look on three students beside Simon.
Simon gulped, and then took a step forward. âNo, sir Vincent, I promise you this is the best of the best.â
âIn fact, it is rumored that the academy considers them a prospect for the future.â Simon blurted.
The expression on Vincentâs face, however, didnât change. He continued to stare at the three of them, evidently displeased by their presence in the room.
As Simon saw the look on Vincentâs face, his voice rang out.
âI know they arenât the ones that you asked for, but I canât think of anyone better than them to take care of the job you asked for.â
Vincent sneered, âWhat about Jeremy and Victor?â He asked.
Simon flashed a rough smile when he heard Vincent.
âVictor opposed to the plan, and for Jeremy...â Simon paused.
âAnd what?!â Vincent yelled.
âI wasnât able to get through Jeremy, because of the defense around him, and even when I was able to get in touch with him, he said he isnât interested,â Simon admitted.
Vincentâs hand balled into a fist, his eyes then flickered with killing intent present in them.
âDoes he know that I was the one who sent you?â Vincent couldnât help but ask.
And in response, Simon nodded his head several at him. âYes, I told him the request came from you, but he still wasnât interested.â
âHis... His exact word was âGo get a lifeâ Simon frowned as he recalled the ridicule in Jeremyâs eyes as he spoke.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âJeremy is way too prideful, someone has to take him down. He doesnât even hold you in high regard, sir Vincent.â Simon blurted.
The words had already left Simonâs mouth when he realized that he just made a pass at his boss. He stared at Vincent and as he saw the furious look on his, he lowered his head quickly.
Vincent moved his gaze from Simon and stared at the three beside him.
âWho are they?â
A smile formed on Simonâs face when he heard Vincent. He rushed towards the three and began to introduce them.
âThis is Hugo from the murderer division and this is Clement from the normâs division,â Simon said, pointing his hand at the duo one after the other.
Hugo and Clement had both black hair and a goatee. They were of slender stature, but while Clement was of average height, Hugo was very tall.
âAnd this is Amber,â Simon said, moving his gaze to the blonde hair woman.
Amber was the youngest in the room, she had fair skin, brown eyes, and short blonde hair.
She was wearing the academy uniform and stood with her hand folded across her chest with a bothered look on her face.
âAmber is a student of the assassination division.â
Vincent had remained neutral the whole time, but the moment, Simon introduced Amber, his eyes twitched, and he stood on the chair he was on.
The smile on Simonâs face widened, as he had expected this sort of reaction from Vincent. He placed his hand behind his back and had a pompous look on his face.
Taking light steps until he arrived in front of her, Vincent seized Amber from head to toe.
âWhatâs a student of the assassin division doing here? I thought you all donât meddle in the academy business except if itâs of importance to you.â
After Vincent uttered those words, his mouth opened slightly.
âOh, I see, it is of importance to you.â He said. âLet me guess, someone asked you to get the job done, but you want to use my influence to seal the deal,â Vincent said.
âBut, why would you need my influence to kill someone in the academy?â Vincent paused.
âHahaha!! Raphaelâs assassination isnât under your jurisdiction, instead, someone else in the division was asked to kill him. Perhaps you have a grudge against him, but because of the assassin division rule, youâre not allowed to make a move on him.â
âYou must have learned about my plans from Simonâs scouting, but my question now is, why do you even want to kill him so badly?â Vincent asked.
As there was no response apart from a sneer from Amber, Vincent spoke.
âThe punishment for going after someoneâs else target without order is family execution. There must be a reason why youâre willing to go after Raphael despite knowing what the punishment is.â Vincent said.
âThen, the division shouldnât hear about it,â Amber said and stared at the people in the room
Amber took a step forward, âWe both want him dead, I think thatâs enough. If you keep asking silly questions, Iâm going to leave.â
âAnd whether I get your assistance or not, I will see to it that Raphael is dead.â
Vincent smiled, âAlright then, I wonât ask about him anymore. It doesnât really matter to me, as long as Iâm the last person Raphael sees before he dies, then itâs all good.â
âSimon, inform the others that the plan has begun. I will fill this three on all that needed to know.â Vincent exclaimed.
Without delay, Simon dashed out of the room.
âNow, hereâs how the plot will go.â
