RISE OF EROS

When Oliver appeared, the member of the assassin's society immediately became alert. It was not the first time that he was faced with a character of his caliber and he knew that he could not defeat him, however, he was not scared, because he was confident of escaping.

He only thought this because he didn't know that if Andrew didn't want him to leave this place, he had no way of doing it. The man immediately analyzed Oliver's strengths and was sure that he was a peak-level senior expert or a super expert.

If Oliver was the first, there was no problem because he was 100% confident of losing it, but if he was a super expert, the situation was a little more complex. He still had confidence in escaping, but he would have to use some tricks.

Although he was thinking this, it was only as a contingency plan, since he had not come to the Star Palace to cause problems, but to talk to the boss of this place and since Oliver had said that Andrew wanted to talk to him, this man decided to meet the person who can command such a character.

Dino did not intervene, since he had no authority to do so, so he left the visitor with Oliver, and the latter in a serious tone said, "Follow me." Oliver didn't even wait for the man to respond, he just started walking.

This man as an assassin was an expert at gathering information, so small details mattered to him. In this way, he understood that Oliver's attitude was that of a confident, but cautious man, and those were the most dangerous in the assassin's books.

They soon arrived at the office and Oliver knocked on the door. After receiving permission to enter, Oliver opened the door and walked over to where Andrew was. The guest, seeing Andrew, was surprised.

Certainly, he had sensed from Andrew's voice earlier when they were at the door that he was young, but he had not expected him to be so young. Furthermore, the fact that Andrew was a minor intermediate-level expert made him even more alert.

An expert of this level and being so young he was undoubtedly a genius and this further corroborated his idea of not messing with anyone in this place. The society of assassins in this city is seen as a group of misfits who would do anything for money, but that is far from reality.

They were very cautious with the targets they chose and never attacked those they should not attack. Although they were hidden, this does not mean that they are safe, because if they anger the wrong people, well, that society will disappear.

"So, to what do I owe the visit of the esteemed client a few days ago?" Andrew asked in a calm tone, but he was telling the member of de society of assassins that he had already seen him so that he would not try to divert attention.

Although Andrew did this, the man was not going to deny the fact, since he had come with the objective of clarifying things. The man remained calm and began to speak, "I cannot give the young master my name, so I hope you will excuse me, but you can call me Creed. May I ask the name of the young master?"

Wrinkling his eyebrows, Andrew replied, "It's quite impolite to ask someone's name without giving yours, but since I know you have the means to find out, I'll let it slide. My name is Andrew."

"I'm sorry for the disrespect, but I hope that Young Master Andrew understands that in my line of work, it is preferable not to give so much information," Creed said with a small bow.

Andrew wasn't really upset, but he had to show strong character with people like Creed or he would always be taken as an easy-going person and that was the last thing he wanted an assassin to think about him.

What surprised Andrew was that at this moment Creed did not show any bad intention towards him like when he visited on the opening day of the Star Palace, which intrigued him.

"Well, let's put that aside. What's your business here Creed? From what I can see it's different from the one you had last time," Andrew said suspiciously and that made Creed scared.

It was normal since he had never met someone who could see another person's intentions with just a glance. Creed's sense of danger is extraordinary and now alarms were shining in his eyes.

Still, he tried to remain calm and replied, "Since Young Master Andrew discovered it, I won't beat around the bush," he paused and added, "As you know, I am part of the assassin society and I was tasked with the job of dealing with you".

Andrew didn't really know that, but he made Creed believe he knew, so Creed spilled the beans. However, on the other hand, Oliver immediately expelled the power from him upon hearing what Creed said.

Admitting that he was given the job of dealing with Andrew was a bad move on Creed's part, and noticing that Oliver's aura was that of a low-level super expert made him back off a bit.

However, at that moment Andrew spoke, "Calm down Oliver, Mr. Creed didn't come to carry out that order, right? Let him finish." Hearing Andrew's words Oliver withdrew the power and Creed calmed down a little.

After taking a couple of breaths to calm down he spoke again, "The young master is right. Many believe that our society of assassins will do anything for money, but that is not true."

Creed paused and continued speaking, "If we did that, we would have disappeared long ago. We evaluate each job that is offered to us and last time I came to collect information."

Andrew and Oliver didn't say anything, they just nodded slightly as if indicating to Creed that they understood and to follow the explanation, so he continued, "I imagine that Young Master Andrew also felt that several people infiltrated his establishment these days. Am I wrong?".

"I sensed that they were your companions, but I wasn't sure," Andrew said as if it were natural. He had actually noticed the other members of the assassin society who came after Creed, so he wasn't lying.

"Well, you see. After that day, I sent a message to the society saying that we would not take this job and that you and your people were off limits, so the other members came to check if my information was correct," Creed said seriously.

"So, what you mean is that the assassin society was testing us to see if they would leave us out of their operations, am I right?" Andrew asked firmly, but inside he was surprised.

He didn't know that the fact that he was able to discover all the assassins who infiltrated had put him in the eyes of these men as a dangerous man and one they should stay away from.

Creed nodded and responded, "That is correct, Young Master Andrew. The Society of Assassins has a small group of people and organizations that it does not dare to touch and you are among them".

"In a nutshell, did you come to notify us about this?" Andrew asked, verifying again that he was not misunderstanding and saw Creed nod confirming, but Andrew instead of saying that he understood, pressed a little.

"Mr. Creed, you understand that I didn't trust your words, right?" Andrew said with a cold expression and added, "You could easily be faking this and catch me off guard."

Creed, seeing the distrust and coldness with which Andrew spoke, his blood ran cold, because Andrew had released a little of his divine aura and the intensity he showed was not something to joke about.

Andrew's divinity was purer than that of any demigod on the continent, but if you evaluated his strength you could tell that he was not powerful. However, as a method of persuasion, it was very effective.

Every expert can feel divinity, as it is a supreme power, so all experts feel the pressure of divinity. It is for this same reason that when they felt it, they knew that they were facing a demigod. Find your next read at empire

Andrew's case was special, but no one knew it, so Creed misunderstood that Andrew was a demigod who only hid his strength, revealing only the level of a minor expert.

This scared Creed even more, because if he already thought that Andrew was a genius with that level, now that he believed that he was a demigod, he almost shit his pants, but after a few seconds, he thought the situation through and he was disconcerted.

Creed knew that this city was monitored by a very powerful barbarian demigod, who would not allow another demigod to settle here so easily, so two reasons came to mind.

One was that the demigod protector of the barbarians had allowed Andrew to be here or that Andrew really wasn't a demigod. Both options seemed unlikely to him, but no matter what was the reason, he had reconfirmed that it was best to stay away from this place.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Young Master Andrew, I know my words are hard to believe, but I'm not lying, I have the exclusion badge here," Creed said, showing what looked like a sticker of two crossed daggers, in the shape of an X.

Seeing this, Andrew immediately understood what it was. His Shadow agents had already informed him that establishments with this symbol were off-limits to the assassin society.

It was a well-known symbol and information, so it was not difficult for them to learn it. Although this symbol would allow him to avoid problems with the assassin association, it also came with its disadvantages.

There are very few who could have this symbol and having it would attract the attention of the great forces of this city. That was something Andrew didn't want, but seeing how things had developed, he could only accept the fact that trouble was coming.
