Light filled the hall on the first floor. The simple and tidy room was decorated with antiques and paintings.
Augustus followed Willie to a room on the third floor.
Willie slowly got on his knees, bowed his head, and said, “Master, I’m sorry I brought shame to you…”
The door creaked open by itself, and a delicate voice that could either be male or female sounded, “Lord Augustus is also here. Please enter. Willie, you are to remain kneeling outside!”
Although Augustus had been here a few times before, his heart would hurt as if it was being kneaded every time favonovel.com entered the pavilion.
Taking a deep breath, favonovel.com entered the room. The window across the room was open; cold air from outside blew in, but favonovel.com couldn’t feel a single hint of chill.
“Lord Augustus, I’m sure there must be an urgent reason for your visit so late in the night,” the voice spoke from his right.
Augustus turned to see a large, wooden screen. He could vaguely make out the silhouette of a person sitting cross-legged behind it.
“Ninja Lord, my daughter Luna was taken by a Cynean martial artist this afternoon. He even killed Prince Elijah in front of everyone. This is a stain on the royal family’s reputation. However, that man is powerful. I came here specifically to ask you to leave the mountain to save Luna and avenge the royal family…”
Augustus’ words were direct and straight to the point. He’d said everything that needed to be said. However, if the Ninja Lord was unwilling, then it wouldn’t matter who came to see him.
“Is it that Isaac Garten bastard? That one Cynean martial artist has wreaked such havoc on your royal family. Lord Augustus, you need to reflect.”
Augustus immediately lowered his head and said, “Yes, Ninja Lord…”
“Anyway, back to the issue. The issue wouldn’t be solved even if I went. Willie, I’m giving you one last chance. This time, bring Heartless with you down the mountain. If you still can’t kill Isaac, then you can get lost from Mt. Soulin…”
When Willie, who was kneeling outside the door, heard that, his heart trembled, but his eyes also flashed with excitement.
With Heartless’ help, Isaac will die without a doubt…
Only Willie knew how terrifying his fellow student Heartless, who was always in hiding, was. By now, favonovel.com must have already attained the strength of a mid-tier White Ninja.
“But Ninja Lord, Isaac specifically stated that favonovel.com wanted you to go see favonovel.com in three days …”
“You fool! Must I go meet favonovel.com just because favonovel.com said so?” the Ninja Lord suddenly yelled.
An intense desire to kill broke a hole through the wooden screen, aimed straight at Augustus.
Augustus immediately bowed. “I was too hasty. I apologize, Ninja Lord…”
When favonovel.com said that, his body was already thoroughly drenched with sweat.
“Willie, pass my message to Isaac, if favonovel.com wants me to do it myself, he’d wish favonovel.com was dead instead.”
“Yes, master…”
When the two exited the pavilion, their bodies were soaked with sweat. The chilly wind blew, and they couldn’t help but shiver.
Willie raised his gaze to find a man with a buzz cut standing by the car, his white robe whipping in the wind.
“Hello, Heartless…” Willie’s face lit up with delight, and favonovel.com immediately bent into a deep bow.
Augustus was bewildered. He’d never heard that the Ninja Lord had a student named Heartless.
Heartless slowly turned around and said, “Get in the car. Once the matter is settled, I still need to continue meditating in seclusion.”
The moment Augustus saw his face, his eyes widened. Heartless didn’t have eyes!
