Ryan cried out in fear, crawling back into the room without caring that the floor was covered in urine.
However, no one responded.
“You can stop screaming. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one wille to save you.”
The voice was thin and extremely cold, causing one to shiver constantly.
Just as the voice spoke….
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Several round objects flew in andnded heavily in front of Ryan, sshing tiny warm droplets on his
face.
One of themnded on his lips. He subconsciously licked it. It was a little sweet and a little salty.
When he reached out to touch it…
Oh, God.
It was blood!
The items on the ground that had stopped rolling were the guards of his mansion!
“Ah-”
Ryan was instantly frightened and lost control of his bodily functions.
Swoosh…
The next moment, the slim ghost–masked person stood in front of him. The person stared down at him
from high above, exuding killing intent.
“W–who are you?” Ryan was frightened and red at the person in front of him, suppressing the fear in
his heart while threatening, “Don’t mess around!

“I am Ryan Ss, a grand schr personally appointed by the emperor. I–If you dare to touch me,
you’ll undoubtedly be hunted down by the whole of Florence! At that time, there’ll be no ce for you to
hide. You’ll surely be killed!”
Ryan’s words blurred together at the critical moment of his life and death, reflecting the extreme fear in
his heart.
However…
The masked person showed no change in expression. They simply took out a knife that seemed to be
made out of stone and stabbed it into Ryan’s chest.
It was none other than Luna!
“Ugh…”
Ryan had no chance to resist at all. He felt an icy chill from his heart and looked down, but he did not
see any blood flow out from the stab wound.
When the blood in his heart touched the knife, it seemed to be sucked in like it was being absorbed.
What was happening?
Before Ryan could figure it out, his pupils dted, his consciousness dissipated, and he fell into eternal
sleep.
BZZ…
After absorbing blood from the heart, the Sanguis de immediately emitted a buzzing sound,
appearing exceptionally excited as if it had opened some kind of seal. The aura became even stronger,
already resonating with Luna.
“As expected of a peerless demonic weapon!” Luna swung it a few times with excitement and muttered
to herself as she felt the abundant power of the de.
Then, she kicked Ryan’s corpse away. “Since you dare to harbor ill intentions toward my husband,
death is your only fate!”
As she spoke, she swung the Sanguis de and left two blood–red words on the white wall.
wall.
Shrouded Gate!
Then, she strode out of the hall.
Outside, the members of the Shrouded Gate were already waiting.
“Continue.” Luna passed through the crowd, leaving behind indifferent words, Keep an eye on those
people. Anyone who dares to harm my husband will be executed without mercy!”
“Yes!” the members of the Shrouded Gate promised resolutely.
After a moment, a group of people arrived in the hall and saw the tragic scene. Their faces instantly
paled.
When they saw the two blood–soaked words on the wall, the horror and
intimidation felt like a boulder on their chest, making breathing oppressively difficult.
“Oh, no! Oh, no! Mr. Ss was assassinated by the Shrouded Gate!”
“Quick, inform the higher–ups!”
“Hurry!”
Cries of despair spread throughout Kiyoto.
