Chapter 32 - Chapter 32 Shadow blades.

Through the small talk, Paul managed to learn they the Qi family was a small family that mainly resided in another town but they came here in hopes of finding someone capable of healing Qi Mo's legs since he was the only surviving male descendant of the family.

-We don't know why this happened or who is responsible but my other son and his family all died in a fire and Qi Mo was injured by some people who picked a fight with him and disappeared the same night without a trace.

The branch families were all wiped out by different means and there was never any trace of the culprits so now the only hope for our family is my youngest son but he needs to be healed first.

Qi Jun explained their situation.

-We heard that there is a healer in this town who might be able to heal my brother but he is not easy to find and also he demands a high price for his services.

Qi Xiao said.

After hearing their story Paul was in deep thought as he had heard of this kind of thing happening in his previous life and if he was not mistaken then whoever orchestrated this had to be rich and powerful to even have connections to hire the organization that used exactly this modus operandi as they were not easy to find and they demanded a very high compensation for their services.

His father had connections to these people and he had used their services more than once to get rid of his enemies.

These people loved to see their victims struggle to keep their families alive and the despair when they destroyed them in the end.

-I don't know who you have offended but it has to be someone powerful and very wealthy to be able to hire the group that I suspect might be responsible for what is happening to your family.

Paul finally spoke.

-Do you know who is behind these attacks?

Qi Mo asked in disbelief.

-I can't be sure but their methods are similar and If it is the group that I suspect then you are all in grave danger.

Paul said with a grim voice as he also had a bone to pick with this organization since it was thanks to them that Alice ended up raped and dead and also they were the ones who delivered the poison that made him unable to resist when his father's family came to kill him.

They were on his list of the people and organizations that he would destroy in every way possible.

-You have one chance to survive this ordeal if the group after you guys are the shadow blades and that is to be prepared for their next attack and be able to survive it.

Paul said. with a cold voice.

-If you manage to survive their attack even once then they will drop the contract and stop going after you as their rule is to always finish the job perfectly and without their victims finding out that it is them who did it.

So if there is a failed attempt they will consider the mission as failed and they will never bother you again since in their eyes if you manage to figure out that it is them and stop them even once then you deserve to live.

Paul explained what was most likely going on and this made everyone in the Qi family turn as white as a sheet.

-But none of my family offended anyone rich and powerful as we teach our children to stay away from such people and never to offend anyone as we are a small family without any real power.

Qi Jun said, trying to figure out who might hate his family so much to hire an organization to kill them all.

-That is the problem in this world, sometimes you don't even know that you offended someone and all it took was to look at them in the wrong way.

Paul said, he hated the unreasonable people in this world and if he ever met one he would do everything to avoid them and i that didn't work then he would just kill them to avoid any future trouble.

Like he said to the girls earlier, in this world, it was kill or be killed and Paul intended to do all the killing this time around.

-Young man don't take this the wrong way but you seem to know much more about them than anyone I have met.

Qi Jun said trying his best not to accuse Paul directly of being one of the assassins.

-The reason for it is that these bastards were once hired to drug a dear friend of mine who was later raped multiple times before she had her throat slit and her naked body thrown into the slums.

Paul still remembered the sight of Alice's body when she was found and he would not let this happen again this time.

-Since then I have done a lot of research on their organization and that's why I know so much about them.

Also before you even ask, I only managed to scratch the surface about their work and structure since it was extremely hard to even learn about their name much less the rest of the information.

Paul added before they asked for more information.

The Qi family was shocked since this was the most information that they had obtained about their enemy since this all started and at least now they saw a chance to survive.

-Thank you for sharing this information, maybe now we will have a chance to survive.

Qi Mo said.

He was grateful to at least know his enemy a little.

Paul on the other hand thought of something.

-Give me your hand.

He suddenly said to Qi Mo surprising him.

The young man was hesitant at first but decided to trust Paul.

The moment his hand touched Paul's he felt mana entering his body which was a strange feeling for him since he was a Qi cultivator.

Paul concentrated and soon found what he was looking for.

There was a seal placed on Qi Mo's spinal cord preventing it from sending the signals from his brain to his lower body.

Paul knew this seal as it was used on him after he was drugged to seal off his cultivation preventing him from fighting back against his captors in his previous life.

However, he managed to find a way to dispel it with the meager amount of mana he had left in his mana channels and use his powers to activate the amulet that sent him back in time.

This time around he had much more mana at his disposal and he used it to rip the seal to sherds with ease.

Qi Mo roared in pain and all of his family members became alarmed, Qi Jun immediately took out a sword and pressed it against Paul's throat.

-What the hell did you do to my son? He roared in anger.

-Father stop this at once.

Qi Mo said once the pain disappeared and stood up for the first time in three months.

This sight shocked them all and the sword fell to the table once Qi Jun saw his son stand up again.

-How?

Was the only word the old man was able to say before he hugged his son and started crying.

Both twin sisters also had their eyes full of tears seeing their brother stand up again.

The commotion alarmed Mia and Maya who came running with Qi Yue right behind them to see this scene and be shocked.

What happened next shocked everyone even more.

Qi Jun let go of his son and kowtowed at Paul's feet.

-Thank you.

The old man said through his tears.

-What are you doing senior, get up.

Paul helped the old man get back to his feet.

-I haven't done anything that would warrant you bowing to me.

Paul said.

-Don't even think about it.

He said to Qi Lan And Qi Xiao who were going around the table to also bow to him for saving their brother.

His words stopped both women in their tracks.

-But you just saved our brother.

Qi Xiao said.

-That does not mean that you need to bow to me.

I did it because I wanted to and I knew how to do it so no thanks are necessary.

Paul said seriously, he didn't like it when someone bowed to him and that was the reason he forbade Mia and Maya to do so as it was humiliating and he would not allow the women that he loved to be humiliated by anyone much less by himself.
