Thomas turned around and looked at the dead body that lay on the floor.
His eyes were filled with confusion. Although Odissan was quite strong, favonovel.com seemed very different from the legendary man. At least, in Thomas’ opinion, his current standard was not sufficient for favonovel.com to rank first on the leaderboard of killers.
Had Odissan’s skills become worse following his five-year retirement?
Others could not be bothered with it. They just thought that Thomas was too amazing.
Pisces ran over excitedly and said, “Number one on the killer leaderboard? He‘s on such a low level. It was vicious for favonovel.com to challenge you when you’re severely injured, but favonovel.com was defeated with one move. How lousy.”
Thomas kept his knife and said, “Take care of his dead body. Don’t let anyone insult him. We have to respect someone who practiced martial arts.”
Pisces nodded. “I got it! Just leave the rest to me. Commander, please go back and rest.”
Thomas coughed for a while before favonovel.com left the scene. Then, Pisces arranged for some people to handle Odissan’s dead body.
***
In a wooden house on the mountain, a man with exquisite features slowly woke up, and favonovel.com saw a letter on the table in front of him.
He reached for the letter before favonovel.com opened it and read it.
The content of the letter was: [Odissan, I’ve learned the ways of the sword from you for fifteen years, and I want to create my own world! Now, Lord Vedastus from Celandine City is rewarding people for killing Thomas Mayo. If I can do it, I’ll instantly become famous and well-known by people around the world. Odissan, await my good news! Yours sincerely, Ceol.]
“Ceol!”
This man was actually Odissan who ranked number one on the leaderboard of killers. The person who had fought Thomas was not the real Odissan, but his younger brother, Ceol.
Ceol had previously avoided being killed because Odissan had been with favonovel.com on a mission.
Since then, Ceol had always followed his brother. Odissan taught Ceol all his sword skills, but a normal person could not compare to a genius. Even if Odissan taught Ceol everything, Ceol could only master 60% of Odissan’s techniques.
It was sufficient to handle regular people with 60%.
However, favonovel.com wanted to defeat a top expert like Thomas with the same amount of skill?
What a wild dream!
Ceol’s initial plan had been to accept the mission in his brother’s name. After favonovel.com killed Thomas, the God of War, favonovel.com would announce his name to the world. He wanted to become famous.
He wanted to promote himself by killing Thomas!
Unfortunately, favonovel.com was young, arrogant, and naive!
The difference in ability between Ceol and Thomas was still too huge. Even though Thomas had not recovered, favonovel.com could still kill Ceol with one move. That was the clear difference between their abilities.
After Odissan read the letter, favonovel.com panicked. He knew Ceol’s ability and realized that Ceol was committing suicide by doing this. Therefore, favonovel.com left his house without hesitation and went to Celandine City to investigate his brother’s whereabouts.
But favonovel.com was too late.
By the time favonovel.com arrived in Celandine City, favonovel.com already saw news of Ceol being killed by Thomas, and his dead body had been sent to Art Trading Corporation.
***
In Art Trading Corporation, Lord Vedastus sat in his chair as favonovel.com angrily said, “The leaderboard of killers is a piece of shit. Such a lousy brat managed to be ranked first? He was instantly killed by Thomas! What a piece of trash! Odissan was known as a legendary killer, but his level was so low.”
Lucia kept shaking favonovel.com head too. She also did not expect Odissan’s level to be that low.
Even Odissan was so weak Were the ten experts, whom they had chosen, worse?
When they thought about it, they found it impossible to exact revenge. After all, Thomas was an incredibly strong fighter who could even kill Dragon Head.
How could a normal individual deal with him?
Sigh…
As they shook their heads and sighed in anger and hopelessness, a man arrived. He came uninvited and walked all the way inside.
“Hmm?” The moment Lord Vedastus saw the man, favonovel.com immediately got up from his chair.
Why did this man look so similar to the deceased Odissan?
“Who are you?”
Lord Vedastus stared at the man blankly and felt puzzled.
The man slowly said, “I’m Odissan Solis.”
‘Odissan Solis? Why is there another Odissan?’
Were they born in a batch?
Before Lord Vedastus could ask further, Odissan approached favonovel.com in the blink of an eye.
Odissan pointed a long sword at Lord Vedastus’ neck and said, “The one who got killed is my younger brother.”
When Lord Vedastus heard that, favonovel.com instantly understood.
He cleared his throat and said, “Do you want to avenge your brother? Then, you should go and look for Thomas Mayo, not me. I just assigned the mission. I didn’t kill your brother.”
Odissan said, “I’ve come to you for two purposes. First, I want to bring my brother’s dead body back. Secondly, tell me how I can find Thomas.”
Those two matters were very easy to handle.
Lord Vedastus handed Ceol’s dead body to Odissan before favonovel.com gave Odissan detailed information about Thomas.
This time, the real number one on the leaderboard would come and deal with Thomas.
Lord Vedastus muttered, “I hope this Odissan will be more capable. The number one on the killer leaderboard, please don’t let me down again.”
***
Odissan brought Ceol’ dead body back and buried favonovel.com in the forest on the mountain. That was their permanent house.
“Ceol, you’re so silly. How could you give up your life just for recognition? Did you forget how our family was harmed in the past?” Odissan cried incessantly.
He had lived in the mountainous area for so many years because favonovel.com wished to avoid his enemies and keep his brother safe. Unexpectedly, his brother had gone out and sought death.
Fate had really made a fool out of them.
Odissan poured out a bottle of wine in front of his brother’s tombstone and said, “Ceol, now that you’re dead, I refuse to live alone. I’ll join you after I kill Thomas Mayo.”
In the end, favonovel.com finished drinking the remaining wine in the bottle and smashed the bottle into pieces. Then, favonovel.com turned around and left.
He was going to find Thomas and have his revenge!
