"FUCK!"

*Crash*

*Bam*

Felix shouted in rage as he threw a vase at a wall.

"Those Bastards! They dare kill my sister!?"

Beside him stood Leo who had just returned after meeting with the Falconkin and was carrying the contract signed by Alistair in his hands.

How the fact that the Shadow of Silence captured Rune alive was a lie.

How they said that just so they could get their reward.

How they signed the contract stating that Rune was dead.

He reported everything to Felix.

And when Felix learned the truth, he burst out in rage.

"Lord Felix, there is nothing we can do about it right now. It was our fault for not doing a proper background check on them."

Leo spoke in a respectful tone.

Felix glared at him, however, he didn't flinch, he just stood there with his head bowed.

Felix clenched his fists in rage, however, in the end, he knew that Leo was right.

It was not the Shadow of Silence's fault, they only completed the mission he gave them. Even though he gave it with the intention of using them as a scapegoat and never actually considered that they could actually complete it.

"I still don't understand…

How did those bastards kill Rune?

I know my sister the best, even though we were not close to each other anymore, she was still someone who was stronger than me, I know she is capable enough to keep her life even if a few Saint Stage Cultivators attack her together, then how…

Do they have a Divine Stage Cultivator behind them?" Felix questioned.

"That is highly unlikely, Lord Felix. No Divine Stage Cultivator would assassinate another Divine Stage Cultivator's daughter just for a mere 11 Star Artifact."

Leo shook her head.

"Then do they have a Peak Saint Stage amongst them?"

That was the only way someone like Rune could be killed. If not Divine Stage Cultivator, then at least a Peak Saint and a few more normal Saints were required.

"But according to our information, the Shadow of Silence only had 1 Saint Stage cultivator…"

Felix frowned.

"Lord Felix…"

Suddenly, Leo called out with an uncertain look on his face.
