Chapter 19 - Assassination Attempt

"Game over" Shen Hua took the money from dealer, his face covered in a mask, he got up and went to find Shen Ruo. The two arrived at the casino several hours ago to play. On the way to the casino Shen Ruo recounted all the things that happened during the month Shen Hua was traveling, what surprised him most was the discussion between Shen Xiao and Shen Wei about he.

"Brother." Hearing a voice behind him Shen Hua turned and saw a small boy, with a fox mask and a large bag in his hand, looking at him. After seeing Shen Hua play a few matches Shen Ruo got off and started playing alone, and to Shen Hua's surprise he's very good.

"How much did you get?" Shen Hua took Shen Ruo's bag and put it in his space ring.

"Sixty gold coins. Do you think that's enough?" Excited Shen Ruo replied, he had never played games anything before and found it a lot of fun. "Let's continue?"

"No, I got a hundred and twenty gold coins should be enough. It is be almost night, you can't stay out until late at night, we will go home." Shen Hua led Shen Ruo out of the casino in an alley before taking off his disguise, Shen Ruo climbed on Shen Hua's back, and Shen Hua jumped the roofs of the buildings toward the Shen family complex.

-------

"What did you find out about them?" A young with blond hair and black eyes, dressed in expensive clothes with a cigarette in his hand was standing in a room in front of a window, looking at the casino's gambling tables. Behind him a man was kneeling.

"Responding to the young master, one of them was the third young master of the Shen family, I could not see the other's face, but I heard him being called a brother by the third young master. The oldest was also a lower class cultivator." The man answered with his head bowed.

"Good job, you can leave." Without turning around the young man ordered, making the man leave immediately. 'Who could that boy be? It's someone from the Shen family for sure, because there's no way Shen Ruo can hang out with anyone out of family. Especially now that it has an affinity for a special element. He is very young, must be younger than me, it is impossible for that band of arrogant not to announce that he has such a prodigy, that he has managed to become a cultivator at such an early age, in his family. There is only one option left, Shen Wei does not know of its existence, so who could it be and why keeps your profile low?'

"Big brother, the Shen family announced a party for Shen Ruo and dad sent you and me to represent the Min family." A boy the same age as Shen Hua entered the room, he looks the same as the other.

"Why does the old man want us both to go? He who should go is he, they arrogant Shen Wei will not like him not being there." Min Ji using a calm voice to hide his dissatisfaction with your father replied.

"Don't complain, the old man won't change his mind." Trying to cheer up his brother, Min Ji added, "The princess must go too. You can take the opportunity to talk with her."

Listening to his brother, Min Su cheered up, but did not change his expression, turning to his brother sitting with his legs on his desk Min Su became serious. "Today Shen Ruo came here with a boy he called brother, he was your age and he was also a cultivator."

"What? Someone the same age as me, who is he, why I don't know him?"

"I don't know either, but they won almost two hundred gold coins in a few hours."

"Du-Duzantas? Impossible there's no way, you said Shen Ruo called him brother, but I already know Shen Mu and Shen Xua and I'm sure they are two useless, it's impossible for them to achieve that."

"You're right, which is why tomorrow you will watch the Shen family property and see who will go out with Shen Ruo."

"This is going to be boring! I won't do it."

"If you find out who he are, you can fight him." Min Su knew his brother loves to fight so decided to give him an incentive.

"Um, it's good that he's strong." Convinced by the words of Brother Min Ji left the room.

"I hope you don't get in trouble." Looking at the closed door Min Su smiled.

Shen Ruo was lying on his bed in the main residence when someone entered the room holding a dagger. The person approached the bed and raised the dagger ready to stab Shen Ruo.

"Be careful not to miss the target." As Shen Mu was about to stab, he heard someone speak in his ear, sending shivers down his spine.

"Who -" Before Shen Mu completed the sentence his head was grabbed and he was thrown into the middle of the room.

"Don't you know who I am? I'm the young master of the Shen family, the disciple of the academy's deputy director! How dare you hit me." Forgetting everything around you Shen Mu shouted angrily.

"Wrong, you're the guy who will beg me to die tonight." When he finished speaking, Shen Hua spat on the face of Shen Mu who was still on the floor.

"Shen Hua, you want to die how dare you talk to me like that. You're nothing but a toy." Seeing that it was Shen Hua who was threatening him Shen Mu lost the rest of his rationality and forgot that it had been thrown by Shen Hua moments before, he raised, form a fireball in his hand and throwing it at Shen Hua.

Shen Hua seeing the little fireball come towards you

heard Shen Mu speak, "Hahaha, this is to apprehend not to threaten me." Not paying attention to Shen Mu, Shen Hua raised his hand and stopped the fireball with her, when the fireball touched him it turned into a black flame.

'What is it? Can I turn other cultivator's flames into black flames? After I think about it.' Smiling at Shen Mu who was astonished to see his fireball in Shen Hua's hands, Shen Hua threw the fireball toward Shen Mu's arm. "This is real fire!"

Shen Mu almost didn't deflect the fireball in time, he saw the dagger he was holding turning to ashes after being hit by the fireball. Turning to Shen Hua with dread in his eyes, "Are you a cultivator?" realizing he could not beat, Shen Mu decided to negotiate with Shen Hua, "Brother you should help me, I know we have not been close in the past, Shen Ruo has affinity for a special element if he strengthens,

he will take over position of young master. We must unite and kill him now that he is still weak. ", 'Then I can kill you and hold my position.'

"You're right Shen Ruo is going to be the young Shen family master, and I'll make sure of it. Now, I'm out of time, so let's do it fast. I need delay Shen Ruo's party, therefore I'll put you on the brink of death, don't worry you won't die, just wish to die."

Without giving Shen Mu time to speak, Shen Hua appeared on his back and kicked him in the leg, causing Shen Mu to fall with your face up on the floor. Shen Hua stepped on Shen Mu's hand breaking it, stepped on his leg and broke his femur, kicked him in the stomach to turn him over and saw his face pale with panicked eyes, "Want to know why you can't move? My saliva is poisonous, causes paralysis." While smiling Shen Hua stepped on Shen Mu's chest and slowly increased the pressure until he heard his ribs break one by one.

"It's really very relaxing, now I know why you always hit me." Shen Hua began beating Shen Mu, 'I promised I would kill everyone who made you suffer, I can't kill him yet but I promise that day will come soon.'

After Shen Mu passed out, Shen Hua stop. He looked at Shen Ruo who was watching everything with face without emotion, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No, I know you wouldn't do this to me. You're going to kill everyone right?" Looking at his blood-smeared brother, Shen Ruo asked.

"Yes, I will kill them all." Seeing how his brother was acting, Shen Hua decided to tell the truth.

"And grandpa?"

"If he doesn't get in the way I'll let him live. I'll understand if you doesn't want to help me."

"I'll help, you're my brother, they never treated me well and I have no ties to them."

"But?"

"It's going to be weird, not having a family anymore."

Shen Hua went to Shen Ruo and put your hand, on his shoulder, "Listen to me, nobody comes to this world to stay alone, one day I promise we will have a big family, it may not be blood, but it will be from heart.", 'I remember hearing that in one anime, which one was it?'

"You promise?"

"Yes, I promise, now go back to sleep that we'll have a lot of work tomorrow." Shen Hua went to Shen Mu's half-dead body and put it over his shoulder, while Shen Ruo lay down.

Shen Hua carried Shen Mu to Li Xiao Lin's door, placed Shen Mu on the opposite wall. 'Hmm, something is missing.', after thinking for a moment, 'I already know.' Shen hua approached Shen Mu, and twisted his leg causing his bone to be exposed, wetting his fingers in the pool of blood that was forming, Shen Hua went to the wall and wrote

"THANK YOU GIFT FOR THE GUN SHOP ITEMS."

'Perfect, just one thing left.'

Shen Hua went to the wall and signed, "ITACHI" Shen Hua turned and left.

On the roof of the main residence, Shen Hua crouched down at the highest point, 'Well suited for me, black flame user, killed the whole family by letting only his brother live, besides being one of the coolest characters of all time and one of mine favorites.'
