351. Call from russia

"I hope you repent for your crimes in hell," said Spartacus as the bodies of the two assassins fell on the ground after getting shot two times each.

Iris, Crixus, Alec, and Octavia come out of their hiding place after they saw that the assassins were dealt with.

"Now what brother?" asked Crixus

"This is already the third attempt in this month, we can't do work like that we have to tell Kenichi and Niijima about this" Octavia said

"Octavia is right brother, even though you think we shouldn't disturb them with something like this if we don't tell them now we will have to tell them in the future when the assassinations us increases. We don't even know who is ordering this assassination so we can't take care of it by ourselves." Iris said

"Hmm... Let's go, I will call after we check-in in a hotel" Spartacus said.

Seeing that their brother has finally decided to ask for help the others released the breath they were holding and followed him. Taking the guns with them to destroy them knowing the assassins they would have made sure that it won't be easy to find their identity so even if they left them here there was no way to get to them as they were just some teenagers.

_________________________

Kenichi has returned from his training in Kamar-Taj and was moving towards Shinpaku Alliance's base. Training with Ancient One was good, she was the only one in Kamar Tan who could go toe to toe against him in pure martial arts. Mordo and Kaecilius the two masters would get their ass kicked by Kenichi when it was pure combat on the other hand when the two use their magic and the magic weapons of theirs Kenichi loses his advantage. Of course, he doesn't lose to them that badly but their stronger magic would seriously injure him so they hold back a lot.

"I feel like I have returned to my early days in Ryozanpaku, getting beaten by everyone isn't good," Kenichi said as he entered the Shinpaku Alliance Building.

In the main room, Niijima was sitting alone going through files when he saw Kenichi enter the room.

"Oh, Kenichi how is your training going?" asked Niijima

"So good that I am ready to take a break, come on Niijima give me something. Is there anything I am needed for?" asked Kenichi

"Well, there really isn't anything where your help is especially needed" Niijima reply shaking his head.

"Fuck" cursed Kenichi

Niijima didn't know what to say to help Kenichi relieve his stress and he didn't want to get punched for saying anything wrong so he decided to keep his mouth shut.

In the silence, Niijima's phone rang.

"Hello, Haruo Niijima of Shinpaku Alliance speaking," Niijima said the moment he picked the phone as this number was the number distributed by the Red of Shinpaku Alliance.

"Mr. Niijima it's me Spartacus" came Spartacus's voice from the other side of the phone.

"Spartacus!" Niijima exclaimed hearing which Kenichi signaled Niijima to put the phone on speaker.

"Yes it's me," Spartacus said

"Spartacus is something wrong you only call once in a month and that too, to give a report about Shinpaku Alliance's branch in Russia. This is the second time on the month?" asked Niijima

"Yes, well there... is a... problem," Spartacus said while struggling to speak up.

"Spartacus don't struggle and speak up, I know something is wrong and if you don't tell us we won't be able to find a solution for it," said Kenichi hearing Spartacus's struggle.

"You are there as well Kenichi?" asked Spartacus in surprise.

"Yea I am so speak up and tell us what is the problem you are talking about," asked Kenichi

"Well in this month someone has tried to assassinate us for the third time," Spartacus said

""What!?"" exclaimed the two at once.

"Yeah but that's not the problem-"

"How the hell is it not a problem?" asked Kenichi when he heard Spartacus not caring about the assassination attempts on them.

"Kenichi lets hear what Spartacus has to say," said Niijima trying to calm down Kenichi

"Well because of the assassination attempts we aren't able to complete the tasks you gave us that's why we decided to call you," Spartacus said

"Wait for a minute," said Kenichi, "You didn't call us because you were worried about getting assassinated but instead because you wouldn't be able to complete the task Niijima gave you? How bloody confident are you, Spartacus? Do you think you and your sisters and brothers will be able to take down every assassin that comes after you? You need to be lucky every time to survive an assassination but the assassins need luck on their side only once. Are you sure it won't side with them in the next attempt or the attempt after that?"

Spartacus was silent and didn't reply to him neither his brothers nor sisters said anything as they also didn't think much of these assassins until this one as they brought guns with them.

sigh "Where are you all?" asked Niijima after not hearing any reply from the other side.

"We are in AZIMUT Hotel Smolenskaya" replied Spartacus

"Change your hotels and use different names to be safe. I kept different identities for all of you in Octavia's bag's secret compartment use them for now. The moment you change the hotels use the burner phone instead of the hotel landlord to call me and inform me about the hotel" Niijima said

"I will be boarding the next plane for Moscow so stay safe until then, but if things look dangerous to you then just leave the country if you have to, your safety is more important than the business don't forget that" Kenichi added

"Yes we will and sorry for not telling you about this earlier," Spartacus said

"We will talk about it later when you all are safe," Niijima said after which he disconnected the phone.

"I will book the ticket for you for the next flight to Moscow," Niijima said

"I will get my passport and clothes from my house then inform my masters about it" Kenichi said

"Sinpaku will keep an eye on YOMI to make sure they don't do anything in your absence," Niijima added

"Fuck..... I forgot about them"
