CHAPTER 56

Well, the answer didn't come. Greed had cut the telephone cables for the apartment before entering, so he had no way to contact the outside world. Well, the way Greed assassinated was an open way. She wanted her target to cower in fear before dying. Arata had expected a chemical way of assassination or something pretty creative, but that wasn't the case. Or maybe it was, just this assassination was too easy.

But Arata later realized that the minister was not defenseless. His groomer was an exceptional fighter and the minister himself had a strong body. They weren't in anxiety or fear, they were level headed. Of course, Arata went and scouted ahead, and left Greed in the same place.

The two approached Greed slowly. However, Greed had already prepared her trap. She raised the temperature of the air near the heads of the pair. This caused Bronchospasm, causing their Respiratory tract to contract, and they coughed and wheezed like mad people. She had complete control of the people, and then started repeatedly heating and cooling the air to her maximum capacity, which ultimately caused their Windpipes to waste away and lungs to burst, due to spontaneous changes in volume of air, and they, umm.. died. It was a very interesting corpse. And definitely one of the most torturous deaths.

"NICE ! That's cool !", Arata said. He was quite intrigued by this. Greed was not surprised. It was quite a unique way to assassinate, even for herself.

They then left the building after bidding farewell to Hinata. She welcomed Arata to her house whenever he wanted to barge in. Arata was grateful. Next up was to observe Envy assassinating another top position minister. Unsurprisingly Arata didn't feel sadness by murdering these nice people. He was not a big fan of morals, but wondered if he should feel something for these innocent….. Wait they aren't innocent ! They are going to pose a problem to the Alvarez Empire in the future. They were all in favour of invading the Alvarez and were in the front lines when the specialists fought for building the Empire. Arata already was a Cultivator reaching new heights, what was he thinking about the Empire ? Didn't he have to reach that realm ?

"Arata ! Are you fucking Listening ??", Greed shouted in his ear. Arata had zoned out while thinking. It was one of the few moments where he actually zoned out.

"Is Rachel out ?", Arata asked.

"Yup, she went for some rebels, you know the ones who are controversial in the parties. They are the most dangerous during a war.", Greed said.

"But the war hasn't begun ? We don't know if it will happen…", Arata said.

Greed must have instantly saw the doubt in Arata's eyes. She didn't except this man to be worried about something like that.

"Are you OK ?", Greed asked.

"Yup. I am fine. Sorry, that was really dumb of me.", Arata replied.

"As long as you know.", Greed said back and smiled. Arata really liked the smile. He finally had some people who could understand him. The other day Greed played the 'La Campanella' on her violin, and Arata was surprised. After they did some ensembles together which Arata enjoyed. Wrath played the Guitar and Lust played Clarinet. Arata wasn't really surprised as many people were cultured in the Clover Kingdom, but they were also skilled in their respective instruments.

"Ok, let's go Arata !", Envy said, as soon as they reached back to the villa.

"Why are you in such a hurry ?", Arata asked Envy. He was planning to play some music before leaving in the evening with Envy and for assassinating the Security Guard, Seok.

"I am just excited !", Envy said, in a very cute voice which Arata found very charming.

"Very well. Let's go !", Arata said.
