Chapter 62: Hatred

On the other hand, it was very easy for the Hell Fire Organization to kill the people from the Sky Blue Magic Academy. This was because the students of the Sky Blue Magic Academy would go out to train every year. The people from the Hell Fire Organization just had to set up a trap in advance and wait for them. Originally, the Hell Fire Organization had many enemies, and there were also many people and organizations who wanted to seek revenge on them. The Hell Fire Organization was not as vindictive as it was against the Sky Blue Magic Academy. However, there were rumors that among the two level-7 Great Archmagi killed by the dean of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, one was the illegitimate son of the head of the Hell Fire Organization. This was why they had been entangled with the Sky Blue Magic Academy.
In short, the enmity between the Hell Fire Organization and the Sky Blue Magic Academy had already persisted for more than a hundred years. It was only in the recent decade that the feud killings between them had decreased a little. This was mainly because the Hell Fire Organization seemed to have shifted its activities to another place. It did not intersect much with the sphere of influence of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, so the feud killings had also decreased. However, the enmity of more than a hundred years would not disappear just like that. Until now, the Sky Blue Magic Academy had not stopped their investigations and pursuit of the Hell Fire Organization.
Klein asked, “City Lord, do you mean that the assassins who were chasing us previously were all assassins from the Hell Fire Organization?”!!
City Lord Lein said, “That’s most likely the case. From the analysis of some of the clues I have, the assassins who were chasing you all were from the Wind Snow City. They had participated in the extermination of the Claude family clan.”
Upon hearing this, Klein broke out in a cold sweat as he felt lingering fear. He had not expected that the ones pursuing them previously were actually assassins from the Hell Fire Organization. To be able to escape from the hands of these assassins was simply too lucky. In the entire Sky Blue Magic Academy, especially among the new students who went out for training and experience, the Hell Fire Organization was simply a curse. Before they left the academy, their teachers would remind them repeatedly to watch out for the assassins from the Hell Fire Organization, and that if they discovered the other party and were not able to defeat them, they must flee immediately. If they could defeat them, they must go all out to kill them. Furthermore, they would be given some magical tools to protect their lives. The reason why they had been able to last so long in combat with the other party this time was actually because of the magic scrolls their teacher had given them. Otherwise, they would have long been killed by the other party.
City Lord Lien continued, “From the clues of the Claude family clan’s extermination case, the person who had killed their family’s Great Archmage should have been a creature-based Great Archmage who used flying insect-type creatures. And, the leader of the Scorpio subdivision of the Hell Fire Organization happened to be a creature-based Great Archmage. He also used flying insects to kill people and was very powerful. He even had a past record of cross-realm killings. He was a level-3 Great Archmage but he had killed a level-4 Great Archmage. Both the City Lord of the Wind Snow City and I believed that this person was the one who had led the extermination of the Claude family clan.”
The Hell Fire Organization had a total of twelve subdivisions, each named after the Twelve Palaces: Scorpio, Sagittarius, Gemini, and so on. That creature-based Great Archmage was the leader of the Scorpio subdivision.
Hearing that the leader of the Scorpio subdivision was very likely nearby, everyone became worried. What if such a brutal guy came to Winterfrost? But at this moment, Ron suddenly remembered something. After killing those assassins yesterday, he had seen a large explosion not far away, which seemed to be a battle between Great Archmagi. With this in mind, he said, “I have something to tell you guys. After I killed those few assassins yesterday, I saw a large explosion in the distance. It was more than ten kilometers away, but I could clearly feel the tremors of the explosion. To cause such a violent explosion, it must have been a battle between Great Archmagi. I had thought it was you, City Lord, who went to intercept that leader.”
Everyone was shocked to hear this. If it had really been the leader of the Scorpio, they had a brush with death yesterday. City Lord Lein said, “That wasn’t me. I was still in Wind Snow City yesterday and had not returned. It was someone else.” At this point, he looked at Ron and asked, “By the way, where was the place where the explosion occurred? I’ll go take a look. I might be able to find some clues.”
“In…” Ron immediately told him the location.
City Lord Lien said, “Hmm, I got it. I’ll go take a look later and see if it was that Scorpio leader. If it was him, then the carcasses of his insects would surely be in the vicinity.”
Actually, there was another person attending the meeting, but they were all not aware. The person was Romo. He had heard all of their conversation through the Visitation Talisman. After knowing the other party’s identity was actually Hell Fire, Romo became a little worried.
The assassin who had attacked Arthur previously was an assassin from the Hell Fire Organization, but that assassin had been killed by Romo and his corpse utterly destroyed. The people from the Hell Fire Organization would not be able to find out at all. He had thought that by doing so, he would have nothing to do with the Hell Fire Organization, and the other party would not come knocking on his door. After all, the Nicholas family clan was still very weak. Now that the other party had come knocking on his door, it was definitely a big problem.
However, the more he did not want anything to do with the other party, the more they came knocking on his door. Unexpectedly, several of the other party’s assassins had died at Ron’s hands this time, and there was even one assassin from their organization currently detained in the secret underground chamber of the Nicholas family clan. This kind of feud entanglement seemed to be fated. The more he wanted to shake it off, the more he could not. It was really a headache.
Fortunately, he still had a servant who was a level-4 Great Archmage, Karuman. And, the other party’s Scorpio leader had already been killed by Karuman. The other side would not be able to find out the cause of his death in a short period of time, let alone suspect the Nicholas family clan. After all, on the surface, the one with the greatest combat ability in the Nicholas family clan was Ron, who was only a level-8 Great Mage. He was not even qualified to serve food to that leader.
Also, there was also the Sky Blue Magic Academy. This time, the Sky Blue Magic Academy, which already had a feud with Hell Fire, would presumably also spare no effort in investigating the other party. Before they dealt with the Sky Blue Magic Academy, they would not have the energy to cause trouble for the Nicholas family clan. However, at the end of the day, one had to be sufficiently strong.. As long as one was strong enough and the family clan was strong enough, one would not be so constrained like now.
