The Return Of The God Level Assassin

A LION beastkin appeared at the back entrance of Yuexing Pavilion. Under normal circumstance, he should not be able to directly teleport here. But he was given a special permission by the owner. If Lan Yu could see him now, then he would immediately recognize the beastkin as the one who gave him the invitation.

As he walked, his brown hair was slowly turning into red-orange. He removed the mask covering the upper half of his face, revealing a very familiar face. Yes, it was Bai Ze.

Done with his part of the plan, he entered one of the back entrances of the pavilion. As he did, he also clicked the costume set he was used to wearing instead of the one he was wearing now. In just a blink of an eye, the clothes he was wearing changed.

"Master White Marsh, the master is waiting for you at his office," said an NPC who welcomed him as soon as he entered the pavilion.

Bai Ze followed the NPC and he was led to an ancient style study. Inside, the rest of team Yunyue was already there.

"How was is, Brother Ze?" Luo Yan asked.

Bai Ze grinned and raised his thumb. "Mission accomplished."

"Are you sure he took the bait?" Su Yuqi asked.

"Hey, are you doubting me? Of course, he did," Bai Ze said acting all offended.

"I’m just saying. This plan all hinges on the fact that that Raphael will go to this pavilion."

"Don’t worry, I’m sure he took the bait," Bai Ze assured everyone.

Before he teleported here, he his from a distance and watched Raphael who looked like he was frozen still after he gave him that ’invitation’. Raphael stared at that envelope as if he was planning to bore holes into it. Then, as if he had made a decision, his eyes were filled with determination and he clutched at that envelope as if his life depended on it.

Just by that expression, Bai Ze knew that the other had already decided that he was going to use that invitation.

Luo Yan was not that worried. As long as Bai Ze managed to mention the captain of team Celestials when he gave that ’invitation’ to Raphael, the other would surely take the bait.

With how Raphael handled the situation of being bashed online and upon hearing of how the other wanted to be part of team Celestials, Luo Yan already had an idea on what kind of psychology he had.

The way he retaliated on him just because he revealed his real face to everyone during the Rookie Carnival’s prelims showed how much he wanted to clear the reputation of his game account. If he’s the type that had a thin skin and couldn’t handle people talking about him, then the easy fix was to simply buy a new VR helmet and create a new account.

Seeing as how he could pay a water army, not to mention the person who did the article, meant that he had enough money to spare. But he didn’t do that. And after knowing that he was determined to be part of Celestials, it’s quite easy for Luo Yan to understand the reason why.

Because his current game account was an Angel race. That guy probably believed that that was his ticket to be part of Celestials. After all, that team were not accepting any other race in the game besides the Angels.

That’s why Raphael refused to give up his current account. Not because he was particularly attached to it. But simply because he wanted to use his race to be noticed by a certain team. No, maybe, not the whole team but one individual. The captain of team Celestials.

Luo Yan wanted to shake his head when he realized that. Just how much does this Raphael guy admire Celestials’ captain? He didn’t even hesitate to disparage another person just for that. No, it’s probably not just a simple admiration.

If Raphael appeared here in the pavilion using that ’invitation’, then it’s a huge proof that his feelings for the captain of Celestials go way beyond just admiration.

As if on cue, an NPC knocked on the door and entered. "Master, the person you told us to watch for just arrived at the entrance of the pavilion."

That sealed the deal then. Luo Yan’s guess was indeed correct.

Luo Jin stood up from where he was sitting. "Then, I’ll go ahead first."

His task today was to pick up Raphael once he entered the gambling den. They couldn’t give that task to an NPC since they might fumble it up. It’s better to at least let one of them do it. And since he had already disguised himself before during the opening night of the pavilion working as one of the waiters, he was already familiar with every nook and cranny of this place. So, it’s just right that the job fell on him.

"Ah Jin, remember what I told you earlier, okay?" Luo Yan reminded his brother before the other walked out of the office.

"I know, I know," Luo Jin said before walking out.

The moment he did, he changed his costume into some kind of silk robe with golden embroidery etched on it. To make him seem like some kind of special NPC. His brother was the one who picked this costume. He was actually kind of embarrassed wearing this. That’s why he walked out of the office first before changing.

And then he applied a temporary dye on his hair to make it look flaxen. He also used an item to change his eye color temporarily to amber. Just like the common hair and eye color the usual gnomes had in this game. Then he took out a veil to cover the lower half of his face.

This was what Luo Yan reminded him earlier. To make sure that he would have a proper disguise before meeting up with Raphael. After all, the other had seen him during the prelims. It’s better to be sure than to be careless. He couldn’t let himself be the reason why his brother’s plan failed or something.

Speaking of that plan, Luo Jin was once again reminded on how scary Luo Yan could be once he someone pushed his button. But he wouldn’t feel pity for that Raphael. Whatever was coming to that guy, he deserved it. Someone needed to teach him a lesson so he could know that there were simply some things that he shouldn’t do.

Back inside the office, Su Yuqi picked up Eclipse. "Then, I’ll also leave with this little guy."

[Mashter, don’t worry, Eclipse will do his best to help you with your revenge. Eclipse will work well with pink-haired sister and let Mashter see his new skill.] – the little fox said with a determined face.

Luo Yan smiled and rubbed Eclipse’s head. [Then, I’ll be counting on Eclipse.]

And Su Yuqi walked out of the office with a little fox in her arms.

Luo Yan then turned on a couple of monitoring screen. Three virtual screens appeared inside the office. All of the three screens would show what was happening at the gambling den.

"Brother Ze, I’ll leave this part to you," he said.

"Don’t worry, Xiao Yan. I will message you immediately if anything goes wrong," Bai Ze assured him.

Luo Yan looked at Shen Ji Yun who was also looking at his direction. "Shall we also go, Brother Ji Yun?"

Shen Ji Yun nodded and walked beside him. "Let’s go."
