CORRIDOR, FLAME WEAPONARIES STORE
The corridor was full of a corpse. But it not only contained Flame store guards but also the enemies. Actually, from the guards, only 5 died while 8 died from the enemy. Of course, the guards couldn't defeat those trained assassins, they were actually defeated by a third party.
The only gold level assassin was kept alive but both of his hands were cut apart. He knew that this time he really hit an iron wall. He would inevitably die but he couldn't help but be scared. 3 men were standing out of the group. The definitely didn't look like guards. They had well embroidery clothes with golden stripes. The clothes they wore were the same as that of Biswa but it had golden emblem which shows that they were from Zan sect.
YES... They were senior disciples of Zan sect. Actually, after passing through inner exam the students are given a choice of stay or leave. IF they leave then that's it, all they have to do is playback a little loan, and some restrictions are imposed such that they cannot join 'dark side' and should not do jobs like assassination and others but if they wish to stay, they will be regarded as a senior disciple. Also, the army of Zan sect actually consists of its more than 1000 gold level senior disciples. Of course, geniuses have better treatment in this army too. They are regarded as core disciples and they might not join the army if they wish not too.
The 3 Zan clan men came at the right time and saved the guards who were heavily injured. They also started interrogation with the remaining member.
.....
Biswa found a horrible scene. The man who was attacking them suddenly had his head cut off. A 30-year-old looking guy came up. He cupped his hands and greeted Biswa.
"I am called De Van. I am a member of punishment hall, senior disciple. I heard that some people were having mischievous thoughts on the store. I never thought that they would work so unhesitatingly. It was a mistake on my part."
Biswa was impatient. He let go of his courtesy. " I am Gohan, one of the outer student. Plz, help my friend."
"Sure sure, It isn't that big of an injury so do not worry about it. I will apply something."
He applied a cream which instantly healed Wang's injuries but Wang still had not regained consciousness.
The senior disciple stayed still for a moment then said, " There was a person fighting for you against and enemy. I killed the enemy but I was late so I could not save your man."
Biswa crushed his fist. He found that all of these sacrifices were made because he was still too weak. He blamed himself for all this. He needs to grow stronger.

Beizong's Villa
Beizong was really worried. He chooses 30 guards to stay with himself and let rest of all the guards and servants were off for a day.
He was really cautious about any leakage of information.
Just then there came a tap on the door. 3 times tap. That was the code. Beizong was now delighted. He felt the mission was successful. He said, "Come in "
He saw his servant Han came in. He was happy and delighted, "How did the mission go?"
"Let me tell you how the mission went." A young man appeared from his back.
"Top weaponry store owner of Merchant city being this low. Really? I never have imagined it."
Cold sweat began to flow through his back. "Who are you?"
" What happened to your senses. Cannot you recognise me through my clothes? I am a senior disciple of Zan sect." The young man chuckled. He continued, "Merchant Beizong due to your actions I hereby arrest you and you will be put into torture for a year and after that, if you survive, Your medians were torn and will work you in the mining. "
"What are you babbling about? I did nothing" Beizong was really scared now.
"I know you are just trying to pose as a disciple so that you can do your dirty work. You are an imposer. Guards capture this man." Beizong shouted out loud but he was thinking about something else.
'I need time to escape from here.'
But to his surprise, none of the guards moves an inch. They were scared to. The knee down in the ground and begged for mercy.
"Sir, we have nothing to do with this man's business. We are just hired, guards. Please forgive us." None of them even put up their head.
"I am saying that this is an imposer. I paid for you. You should protect me. I order you. Listen to me. I will make you rich." But none of that work. Beizong's worst nightmare came true.
He fearfully looked towards the young man and said, "You cannot do anything to me. I am a renowned businessman. I have many friends. I will call them."
The senior disciple was really annoyed by his bubbling, "You are too annoying." He looked towards the men behind him. "Take him away."
"Wait I can give you any price you want. Name it. I can make you rich just help me escape from here. " But his cries were unheard.
...................
Biswa was then called to the punishment hall. He was told all the events. How he was ploted against. He again got a picture of how cruel the world can be. The elder of Punishment hall had friendship with Gohan's Grandpa. So he was nice to Biswa. He encourages Biswa to take over all of the weaponry business in merchant city.
It was a blessing in disguise for Biswa. They even manage to form a deal with Zan sect for the weapons. Especially the short once. Which not only give him spirit stones but also merit points.
...
After someday he held a ceremony for the dead. Sadly Cheif blacksmith also died in the battle against Gonyu.
Biswa got over the grief. Luckily he now has much money so that he can continuously raise his level. He went to his home. Zilong was also cultivating. He set there in an empty room. He was determined.
Time to reach the Bronze level.
