"Wow, that''s a long way down. Well, she deserved far worse," us said before flying down. He hadn''t been using his wings since he hadn''t been on any hunt after he broke through.


    But that would be taken care of soon.


    Stay connected via empire


    With five weeks and a few days left before they departed for the academy, a lot could happen. usnded beside L''s body and smirked.


    "Good thing I took a picture of her before her death," he muttered. "It would have been my loss if the Red Lady wasn''t part of my collection of kills."


    In theing days, us nned to shake the world and send a dangerous message to the Dark Order before leaving for the academy. He wasn''t holding back on this one.


    Now that he had eliminated the four Sovereign assassins of the Northern Union, he would move on to the other cities and kill the Great Sages, Sages, and Saints, ensuring that the Dark Order''s lethal force within the Northern Union was eradicated. He also wanted to make sure they would think twice beforeing after him again.


    Initially, us had nned to wait until he was strong enough to safely confront them, but then Number Three entered his life, and he began to realize that he had been too cautious for too long.


    Although he currently couldn''t easily take on just any Tier 8 or Tier 9 opponent, he knew for a fact that he would not be a coward toward those who tried to kill him every single day.


    He hadn''t known about his past life as Number Three, but even without any knowledge, he sensed that he had once regretted something that made him reevaluate his approach. The current him would not back down, even in front of an Overlord.


    Due to this resolve, us had finally, without even realizing it, begun walking the path of ughter—a being whose sole purpose was to kill.


    His ughter aura was meant to make him an absolute force on the battlefield. However, just like the will of a cultivator, the path of ughter also values unwavering devotion.


    If us had continued being a coward, confronting his fears only when he felt ready, he would have suffered severe bacsh.


    He pressed forward with his n, determined to keep a smile on his face even at thest moment. But, s, all his opponents were disappointingly weak.


    A true Sovereign should have been able to withstand the arrows he had unleashed a few days prior, but he had forgotten they were mere assassins.


    He even regretted not eliminating them as he had done with L. In the end, however, his ultimate goal was to kill them, and he seeded.


    "After this, they should send more Sovereigns," us muttered. "Killing humans tends to have a much stronger effect on my cultivation base," he added with a smirk.


    A few minutester, us left, leaving behind the frozen ashes of L''s remains. Not even her core had been absorbed by him.


    When he returned to their rendezvous point, none of thedies hade back yet, so us decided to use the time to chat with the senior.


    "Senior, at this rate, how much longer until my first Star Core is formed?" us asked.


    [You are already 70% there, so if you keep pushing, you will be a one-part Saint in the next few weeks,] the senior replied.


    "I guess all the sexy times with Miriam weren''t for nothing," us muttered with a smile.


    Due to the Paragon Mark linking him with his women, and the fact that Miriam''s cultivation base was significantly higher than his, us was starting to see a notable increase in his own cultivation base.


    [Well, that''s part of what the Paragon Mark is meant for, among other things,] the senior said, hinting at something profound.


    us, catching on, asked, "Senior, I know you said I have to figure this out myself because of the extremely high karma involved if you told me, but can''t you at least give me a hint?"


    [No can do, but just don''t misuse them when you gain ess to their sses,] the senior said with an amused tone before cutting off their connection.


    "Don''t misuse them when you gain ess to their sses," us muttered, repeating the senior''s words.


    Suddenly, realization struck him, and his eyes widened. "Wait a minute, does this mean I can eventually ess the sses of my women and use them as if they were mine?" us could hardly believe it.


    [Brat, take the win and stop yapping. I''m trying to get my beauty sleep here,] the senior confirmed, though indirectly.


    "This is great," us almost shouted.


    "What is great?" Miriam''s voice suddenly entered his mind as she stepped into the stealth-mode helicopter.


    "Nothing too crazy. But, damn, what happened to you, and why are you wet?" us asked, eyeing the soaked Miriam.


    "Myst kill preferred to go diving, so I had to wait for him underwater," she replied, making us almost burst outughing.


    Not wanting the otherdies to arrive and see Miriam''s clothes clinging to her incredibly hot body, us used his fire to dry her off.


    "How I wish I could jump on you and devour you right now," us muttered, looking at Miriam with a mischievous gaze.


    "No can do. You''ll have to hold off until you''re done with Sister Ohema," Miriam said.


    "Wait, has Ohema finally managed to cultivate the technique?" us asked.


    "You''ll find out when we get back," Miriam replied with a smile before resting her head on us''s chest as they waited for the others.


    Nuna was the next to arrive, and an hourter, Cynthia and Luna returned as well.


    "Now that the major threats have been dealt with, we''ll spend the next four days moving to other cities to handle the remaining targets. And don''t worry, I have a gift for all of you once we''re done," us said to thedies before taking to the air.


    Over the next four days, they traveled to 34 different cities, ensuring that everyst assassin on the Dark Order''s payroll was eliminated.


    They showed no leniency; everyst assassin was dealt with. us personally moved with Nuna, ensuring that all their kills were clean and unsuspected.@@novelbin@@


    Of course, their disappearance would be noticed soon enough, but by the time anyone figured out why, the entire world would be turned upside down.


    After taking care of their final targets in Union City, us and his team of lethal beauties returned home. As promised, us did not hold back.


    He gave Nuna, Luna, and Cynthia Ross a technique he had received from the senior in exchange for something of equal value. He, of course, made Cynthia swear that she would not tell anyone, not even her husband.


    It didn''t take much convincing since Cynthia herself was not a virtuous woman. After all, she was involved with an assassin while married. If she kept that secret from her husband, she would certainly keep this one too.


    As soon as us, Miriam, and the twins arrived home, Ohema leaped into his embrace, ready to take the next step. She had cultivated the technique and was prepared to let us take her virginity.
