Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 270 - Seth Goldhammer (End Of Volume 1)



In the main branch of the assassin guild, Alverton firmament.

"Ghost snake, congratulations on successfully becoming a tier 1 higher assassin."

An old man with a face full of wrinkles congratulated the middle-aged man standing in front of him.

"Thank you, Supervisor."

The middle-aged man was none other than Ghost snake, Lucas' third sovereign henchmen.

When he heard the  old man's words, Ghost snake respectfully bowed to the old man in front of him as he asked, "If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me whether I can regain my previous position as the guild leader for one of the assassin sect branches?"

"Huh?"

The old man raised his brows for a moment; however, in the next second, he revealed a slight smile on his face as he said, "Your achievements of killing rank 5 spirit beasts in the Silverstone town was confirmed by the other two guild leaders who escaped from the Silverstone town together with you."

"However, your past is still bothering the other supervisors who are stopping you by saying that you joined the assassin sect to take revenge for your mother."

The assassin supervisor shook his head, making Ghost snake furious and he just wanted to strangle the old man to death with his bare hands.

However, he suppressed his anger and didn't even show any reaction on his face because he felt like whatever the supervisor was saying right now was a test for him.

If he showed his anger and retort against the assassin sect right now, he would be killed right away, not to mention getting his old position back.

'No reaction'

As for the old man, he muttered to himself when he saw that Ghost snake didn't show any reaction when he mentioned the revenge.

"Congratulations, Ghost snake. You have officially retained your position as the guild leader."

Even though the old man didn't have any doubts regarding Ghost snake's loyalty because last time when Ghost snake became a guild leader, he was the one who cleared his way with the mandatory test. 

"Really?"

Ghost snake acted as though he was excited about it as he excitedly looked at the old man in front of him.

"Of course."

The old man nodded his head as he continued, "In a month, a few guild leaders of the Alverton firmament are getting promoted to the Lunaris firmament's assassin guilds. You can pick one of them and officially become the guild leader."

"One month?"

Ghost snake was still maintaining his excited look as he asked, "I can do whatever I want during this one month, right?"

"Haha…yes. Make sure to come to the main branch of the Alverton firmament to pick which branch you want to lead."

The old man laughed out loud as he nodded his head while asking him to pick a branch during the month.

"Thank you, supervisor."

Ghost snake thanked once again with a deep bow.

"I am hoping for great things from you."

The old man had a slight smile on his face in the beginning; however, it changed into a serious looked as he warned, "Even though I know you don't have any plans to take revenge on the entire assassin guild because of what a single branch of the assassin guild did to your mother, I am still warning you not to have such thoughts."

"If you do, I will be the first one to store my dagger into your heart."

'Swoosh'

As soon as the old man finished his words, he disappeared from the room.

….

'Swoosh'

The old man appeared in another room of the building as he called some of his loyal slaves.

"Even though he is loyal to the organization from the beginning, it is still better to keep an eye on him as he finally reached the rank where he could deal enough damage for the organization if he wants revenge for his mother."

Without looking at the three silhouettes that appeared around him, the old man ordered them in a serious tone.

"Yes, master."

The three silhouettes that were completely covered in black robes from top to bottom nodded their heads.

From their tones, it could be said that they were very respectful and fearful towards the old man.

"If he gets even the slightest doubt about you three, I will kill you myself before replacing your positions with other slaves."

The old man didn't bother to wait for their reply as he went to his room without wasting any more time.

Back in the room.

'Damn this old man. Even though he acted all sweet and caring, he is the most cunning one I have ever encountered in this organization.'

Ghost snake cursed the old man whom he called 'Supervisor' earlier.

'Anyway, I finally retained my position as the guild leader. From now on, I can slowly gather my own team by escaping the eyes of his slaves. I wonder how many he was going to send this time to spy on me.'

Even though Ghost snake didn't see any of them spying on him, back when he became the guild leader, he was always paranoid and felt he was always watched by someone.

What's more, he was able to guess how many slaves the old man had sent to spy on him.

As for why he was sure that the old man sent his slaves to spy on him, because, in this world, other than their own slaves, a person would even doubt his family.

'Anyway, I will just enter the Barren firmament to communicate with my master when I have any important intel. What's more, I don't have to meet my master and use long-distance communication with him.'

Ghost snake could communicate with Lucas from any distance; however, it would only work if both of them were in the same firmament.

So, if there was any important information, he had to enter the Barren firmament to communicate with Lucas.

…..

In the Goldhammer family of the same firmament.

"Just because you are the son of the King, do you think you can beat my brothers?"

In the royal city of the firmament, a fatty shouted at the young man who was wearing majestic golden robes with a face full of rage.

In front of him, there were four young men lying on the ground with severe injuries on their bodies.

Currently, they were unconscious; however, the fatty had already tossed some high-level healing pills in their mouths and stabilized their condition before getting ready to fight with the young man who put his younger brothers in such a terrible state.

The fatty was none other than Seth Goldhammer, the second son of the Goldhammer family, which was a Duke grade family.

However, the young man in front of him was the son of the king of the Alverton firmament and naturally, his family was a Sovereign grade family, which was one grade higher than the Goldhammer family.

"So what? Your brothers stole the spirit beast egg I bought in the auction house."

As the eldest son of the King of the Alverton firmament, the young man was naturally arrogant and proud as he replied to Seth.

"Also, how dare trash like you with no rank in any of the professions dares to raise your voice against me? Guards beat him but did not kill him. Even if he is trash, he is still the son of one of the generals of the Alverton firmament."

The young man ordered his servants to beat the fatty because in their eyes he was nothing but trash with no rank in any profession.

'Damn you.'

Seth Goldhammer clenched his fists as his heart was filled with an uncontrollable rage.

He was not angry because the young man called him a 'Trash'; instead, he was furious because that b*stard is accusing his brothers of stealing something from him.

'Even though my little brothers are not saints, they will never steal something from others. More importantly, they would fear to steal something from the royal family.'

Seth was not accepted by his little brothers as their second brother because of his lack of talent; however, Seth was not at all angry with them and even supported his brothers because he knew the value of the family.

Now, someone is bullying them and accusing them of being thieves. So, he naturally could not endure it any longer.

'Ding,

          The system suggests the host control his anger.

'Ding,

          Even though the host can kill the crown prince and his servants without any difficulty, you will be hunted down by the royal family along with your entire family.

'Ding,

          What's more, you will receive heaven's punishment for killing the main family member of the sovereign grade family.

As Seth wanted to kill everyone including the crown prince, he received a series of system notifications that stopped him from doing that.

'I, Quick scar will remember this and make you, crown prince and the family behind you, pay for your arrogance.'

Seth clenched his fists as he received the beating from the servants while looking at the crown prince with furious eyes.
