"Tell me something, what is a bunch of killers doing on the path to Enthrall?" Hira asked after sitting down comfortably on a chair."
"My lord, the baron of Crest territory plans to invade the Enthrall territory and kill the baron. Our leader had asked us to come earlier and kill as many officials in the territory as possible. We also need to make the mages of this territory to switch their position to our side. This will make Enthrall lose all its hope when the Crest army attacks."
"…"
Seeing as Hira did not say anything, the old man continued.
"My lord, the army that…" but before he could continue, he was interrupted by Hira's surprised voice
"Wait, what did you say? You want to get the mages?" Hira said.
"Yes lord." The old man replied.
"Hmm, hmm… okay… when will the army attack?" Hira asked.
"Lord, the army will attack at most within 2 weeks." Old man answered.
"That's fast, and when do you plan to meet the mages?" Hira asked another question.
"Lord, our plan is to first gather all our men, that have currently infiltrated the Enthrall region, after that we will go for the mages. So, we will be starting day after tomorrow by latest. After we have the mages on our side, we also need to kill as many officials as possible so we are in a hurry."
Listening to the old man's answer. Hira nodded his head, before staying silent for a few seconds.
"Alright, Misty, Rose, we will be going back to town tomorrow morning. Are you both ready." Hira asked as he looked at his wives.
"Of course." Misty answered.
"I will go and get the employees to pack up." Rose said.
Hira nodded and both his wives left to pack up with the employees.
"Alright, tell me whatever else you know about this army and also about your group of killers. Don't miss anything." Hira said to the old man.
"Yes lord."
…
After about an hour, the hunched back old man has pretty much told everything, he knew to Hira.
"Alright, I want you to go back and meet up with the rest of your group."
Hira said as he took out a vial.
…
After getting the blood-potions from Hira, the old man left to meet with the killer group.
Hira looked to his left.
"No one here."
Then, Hira looked to his right.
"No one here either."
Then Hira sat back down on his chair.
"Ha… haha… muahahahahaha…" Then he started laughing like crazy.
It's a good thing no one was around, he could laugh as stupidly as he wanted.
As for why he was laughing so hard?

The content on his system panel has increased, and this increase was not just a simple increase.
'System, system… tell my cultivation level now.' Hira asked.
[Replying to host, the host is currently at the Body Refiner stage of cultivation.]
"Awesome… hahaha…" Hira continued laughing like an idiot.
"Man, I am so lucky."
…
The group of killers had now already infiltrated the Enthrall town.
Inside a room of a building named 'Joyful Life Pavilion', the leader of the group, was sitting across a fat man in luxurious clothing, who was currently shouting furiously.
"That bitch, if only I can get my hands on her, I will teach her a lesson she will remember for the rest of her life, I will make her beg for death, damn it, damn it…"
While the fat man kept on shouting, the leader of the killers' group just sipped his wine without a care.
"Well Filch, you have fucked up too badly this time, and the lord wants to give you another chance to redeem yourself, I am sure you already know the plan, but let me remind you again, you will be responsible for all our expenses during this attack. You will also be funding us with resources to bribe the officials."
"But… but that would cost too much." Filch the fatty felt indignant.
It's all because of one of his prostitutes, damn it, if only she had not gone rogue, he would still be living his life luxuriously under the care of the great lord, without worrying about anything. But now, he had to spend almost all of his fortune as compensation because of the stupid actions that one of his prostitutes did. He really wanted to find that woman and skin her alive.
He could not stop cursing that woman and his luck.
"Your choice, you can keep your money, or you can keep your head." Raven, the leader of killers gave a smirk at Filch.
What Filch did not know, was that this leader was also on the same boat as him. After all, the 'accident' that had happened in another territory, was also his fault. So, he was sent here to redeem himself and keep his head.
But, except for 'the lord' and Raven himself, no one knew about it. You have to say, this killer had a brain inside his head. Instead of whining about the threat he had on his life, he was using this fatty to make his life easier.
But still remembering what happened in the past made him curse his luck.
"Boss, the hunched back old man is back, he wants to meet you." One of the killers informed Raven.
"… Bring him in." Raven said.
After a few seconds, the old man appeared in front of Raven.
"Whew… this new look suits you, old man." Raven said as he smirked, trying to make fun of the old man who was badly injured.
The old man cupped his fist before replying.
"Lord, while I was following the men, they encountered an old cultivator, who ended up killing them mercilessly, unfortunately he also found where I was and almost crushed me to death, fortunately I was able to run away with my life as a beast attacked him while he was chasing after me."
Listening to the old man's words, Raven raised an eyebrow.
"This one is also unlucky."
