The Black Moon Assassin

Chapter 59: A Game of Endurance

Gild restrained his urge to throw insults into the air, completely ignoring his embarrassment as he said in an attention-grabbing tone, "How about we keep it simple and just say if the amount is low or high?"

Jun nodded and said, "Let's go! Here are my hundred coins, and another hundred from my friend!"

'I don’t have a hundred gold coins...' Trevor thought, forcing a bigger smile.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry and change the tea for our guests!” Gild broke into a cold sweat when he saw that Jun hadn't fallen into the trap he had set, so he decided to change his tactics.

“Forget it! That’s too much trouble! My friend here, who you can call Trevor, and I are here to gamble, not to enjoy tea and cake.” Jun waved his hand dismissively, then casually ...

Chapter 57: The Smile of a Demon

Only Trevor accompanied Jun, and just by looking at him, it was clear that he was a great warrior. However, to the eyes of the people in this place, if Jun could buy Trevor, they, who controlled this city, could buy him too.

“You must be from a wealthy family, but remember, as long as men exist in this world, my family will have double the money and riches,” Gild said with a cold stare toward th...

Chapter 56: A Lifetime of Betting

"Are you going to bet your slave?" Chung asked with a huge grin.

Crack!

Trevor stopped dead in his tracks, his gaze landing on the foolish man who had just called him a slave. If it weren't for the fact that they were being watched, he would have blown the man's head off.

"He’s like my brother in arms. Don’t bother apologizing, because he won't accept it. But just keep that in mind." Jun glanced a...

Chapter 55: A Noble’s Trap

"The King wants me to lead this city. I suppose he has understood my stance on the war against Wei's infantry and my interests regarding the situation," Jun said as he walked through the city in a white robe.

The people around him stared curiously. It wasn’t common to see someone dressed in white from head to toe, and Jun was one of those rare figures.

When Kyou Kai mentioned that white symboli...

Chapter 110: Frenzied Demons

Ethan took off his jacket as he eyed the massive form of the demon called Akaza. With his swollen body and long, sharp horns, it was clear that eliminating him would be a real challenge.

"Four eyes, long arms, dangerously sharp horns... probably lethal," Ethan muttered while analyzing his enemy. He visualized all the disadvantages he would face in a close-quarters fight and, with that thought, releas...

 Chapter 109: Extermination

On the rooftop of a building no more than three stories high, Ethan didn't respond to the demon. He was determined to kill it, so there was no need to engage with it. He had never done so before, and now was certainly not the time for conversation when hundreds of people were dying because of this demon.

"My name is Akaza, the one responsible for all your troubles and the one who took pity on a h...

“What is this, Trevor?”

Trevor looked at what was in front of Jun and said in horror, “This is an unexpected situation.”

“My Lord, these are the finest donkeys in the entire kingdom. They are fast and can bear your weight. The King said that since you enjoy traveling by donkey, he procured the best in the realm for you,” said a maid who seemed genuinely pleased.

In the following weeks, Jun, as a marquis, was granted a city beyond the area where he usually spent his time. It wasn't far from where they normally lived, but he needed to make the most of this city called Gaotang.

Gaotang was a small, independent city with convenient transportation and a well-developed economy. However, its forest resources were scarce. With its limited income and additional donatio...

Jun wasn’t interested in things like rewards. He had sent a letter to the King asking for processed or unprocessed metal for his private army.

He had, of course, sent the details of the enemies he had killed, the ranks of the soldiers, but he didn’t describe the specifics as he didn’t have enough ink or time. However, he proved that he had actively participated in the battle.

The horde of vampires rushing at them numbered in the hundreds. Many couldn't understand why the vampires attacked head-on, knowing the outcome would always be the same.

Ethan stared at Terry, who had been possessed by Amon, and muttered through clenched teeth, "This is my victory."

Chapter 50: The Battle Ends

As expected, Qin lacked the capability to continue the war and shift it to an invasion, so with the victory, they had retreated.

This was, of course, not considered a loss, as they had killed Wei’s best general, leaving them as a weakened border enemy.

For Qin, it was a victory, regardless of whether the city was eventually reclaimed or not due to the significant gains.

All the soldiers, resting from their wounds, kneeled before General Hyou, who had been the first to answer the King’s call despite all the obstacles.

Duke Hyou was just as the rumors described—a large man with the build of a warrior, gray and white hair, and ...

"Do you have a problem with that?" Kyou Kai's cold gaze turned toward Jun as she seriously considered grabbing her sword and leaving this place if she was in danger.

Jun and Kyou Kai hid behind the bushes, looking toward the camp where the general of this army was supposed to be.

If they followed tradition, when a general died, the army would retreat, abandoning whatever they were trying to achieve. Of course, this only worked if they were on an open battlefield.

If it were an invasion, Jun knew things might be different.
