The sea port located close to the border sea is controlled by the marine militants of the cretzen federation. The marine militants are the military forces controlling the sea operation of the cretzen federation.
Every traveler entering the sea port of the cretzen federation will be taken!
And until they are through with their investigations, they will be allowed to either return back to their homelands or granted permission to enter into the cretzen federation, and the new travelers were arrested on sight.
The sea port is located in the dante sect, a city that exists in the borders of the southern region, and the one who is currently controlling the city is the commander of the marine militants.
They are either referred to as marine corps or marine militants!
The current commander of the marine corps, commander doeng suril, one of the noble servants of the cretzen's federation governor and a man who, if he belongs to the assassin guild, he will be s-class by nature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marine corps commander doeng suril could be seen seated in his office while staring at the newspaper in his hand, dressed in his commander's uniform while holding a stick of cigarette, releasing smoke from his nose.
He heard a vibrant knock on his door when he took a deep breath.
"You can come in," commander doeng suril ordered with a warm smile plastered on his face when the door opened up and a marine soldier walked in, saluting the commander who remained seated majestically.
"Greetings marine corps commander doeng suril, I'm sorry for disturbing you by this time, but there is something I have to report to you," the soldier spoke out while standing before the marine corps commander.
"Oh? I'm quite busy now, but tell me what you have to report," the marine corps commander ordered calmly while staring at the soldier standing before him. The marine corps commander is a man who is in his mid-fifties.
While the western empires focus basically on nobles and merchants, the cretzen federation focuses on political powers such as senators. There are thirteen high sects who govern the cretzen federation.
But the overall ruler of the cretzen federation is the governor, a man who is very strict when it comes to power, military powers, political powers, and demon killing powers. He has everything; he is known as the perfect soldier.
"Sir, we are done investigating the newest travelers who arrived at the sea port two days ago. Based on the reports, the demon who appeared at the sea was a summoned force of a dark mage."
"And there were pirates who sneaked onboard amidst the commotion, but they were stopped by two men. One of them was responsible for taking out the pirates, and the other was responsible for killing the demon," the soldier reported.
"Oh? And those two men, are they together?" commander doeng suril asked.
"Yes, they are reported travelers from the north. The one who took out the pirates who gave into the demon fruits happens to be the butler of the man who took out the demon in the sea," the soldier answered.
"Is that so? To take out pirates is one thing, but to take out pirates who already devoured the demon fruits is something else. I once fought with a few who devoured the demon fruits, so I know how strong they can be."
"Did you identify who those two northmen are?" commander doeng suril calmly asked with his legs crossed. He puffed out smoke from his mouth while smoking his cigarette, a man of pride as they all know.
"Yes, commander doeng. That is the reason why I came here," the soldier answered.
"Very well then, tell me who those two northmen were. We are more hospitable to the northmen instead of those westerners, so tell me... who are those two northmen?" commander doeng suril asked.
"The one who took out the demon in the sea is registered in the assassin guild, the infamous s-class assassin, the assassin of the north, the deathmaker, and the one who took out the demon fruit-infested pirates is his butler," the soldier answered.
"The deathmaker? Are you telling me you have the deathmaker in custody? Release him and bring him to me at once," commander doeng suril demanded while he couldn't believe his ears. This is his first time he will be seeing the deathmaker!
The soldier immediately left the office after receiving the order from the commander. Commander doeng suril took a deep breath while still smoking his cigarette when the door leading into his office suddenly opened up.
It's been a few minutes already since the soldier left the office. Commander doeng suril took a deep breath when he relaxed his back on his chair. The door leading into his office gently opened up.
When rey castle made his way into the office with smiles on his face.
Standing behind him is his butler, mr k, who remains calmly dressed in his black suit. Commander doeng suril gazed at rey castle, who stood before him without a single care in the world.
"So you are the deathmaker, huh? I heard you were quite young, but I never expected you to be this young. Considering the crimes you have committed in the west, I expected you to be at least mature looking," commander doeng said with a smirk.
"The marine corps commander doeng suril, it's quite a pleasure meeting you today. I was expecting we would meet sooner, but your men held me for quite too long, all in the name of investigation," rey castle said.
"I can see you know me already, but I am not surprised, considering the fact that you are an s-class assassin of the assassin guild. So tell me, boy... why are you here in the cretzen federation?" commander doeng calmly asked.
"Why am I here? I'm heading to the red area," rey castle answered.
Commander doeng suril widened his eyes in shock as he couldn't believe his ears. The red area is the most restricted zone in the cretzen federation, a domain of demons that has low survival rates.
"The red area? That's impossible," commander doeng voiced out.
"And why is that? I know that the red area is the borderline between the east and the south, and it's a city known to have the lowest survival rate. But I happen to crave demon hunting, so I will be doing you guys a favor going there," rey castle spoke out.
"Deathmaker, I do not doubt your prowess as a fighter. I've heard tales about you and what a monster you truly are. You are an assassin and a huntsman who took out two single-horned demons."
"But you can't go unless you are licensed by the cretzen federation to enter the red area. Without the license, you will be forbidden from entering into the red area," commander doeng suril said.
"I see. So what can I do to be licensed?" rey castle calmly asked.
"Mr deathmaker, this man standing behind you, he is said to be your butler, right? I was told that assassins who have reached s-class are gifted a butler to guide them and be with them, but this is my first time seeing one," commander doeng suril said.
"Greetings, mr doeng suril. Sorry I can't speak to you with honorifics. The name is k; I prefer to be called mr k considering my position as a butler, and there is no reason to be suspicious of me."
"I live to serve my young master, so anything he is told is kept a secret with me even in death," mr k said when commander doeng suril took a deep breath and sighed while staring at the deathmaker.
"He-he-he-he, I get why you are suspicious, but you don't have to be. I'm here for one reason, and that's to enter the red area. I'm trying to train myself... isn't whitey there?" rey castle calmly asked.
"Whitey? Are you talking about the s-class assassin, the white wolf? He is currently the main bodyguard of the governor. But the blood sword's whereabouts remain unknown, and it's a secret between the state heads," commander doeng suril answered.
"So the white wolf now serves the governor, huh? I will have to report it to the chief when I return to the assassin guild, but for now, tell me... what can I do to be licensed?" rey castle asked.
"Deathmaker, are you willing to go on a secret mission?" commander doeng asked.
"A secret mission? What are you talking about?" rey castle calmly asked while folding his arms. He took his seat while placing his legs on the office table of the marine corps commander doeng suril.
"Five days ago, one of the six sons of his majesty the governor vanished without a single trace. His name is brandon freeman. He went on a mission to eradicate the demons sneaking out of the red area."
"But he vanished without a trace, and the blood sword was contracted to rescue the governor's son, but he also went missing, and till now, no one knows what happened to both the governor's son and the blood sword."
"So I was given the authority to grant any s-class assassin that comes into my domain a temporary ticket into the red area, but it will be under a secret mission to rescue the governor's son," commander doeng suril stated.
"So you want me to go for a rescue mission, right?" rey castle calmly asked "Yes that's correct, but you are given a temporary pass into the red area while rescuing the governor's son. If you are willing to accept this mission, you will be allowed into the federation," Commander Doeng Suril answered.
"I see, it's not a bad deal considering the fact that I can enter the red area. I would like to also figure out why the blood sword went missing, so I will accept the mission," Rey Castle stated when he grinned evilly.
"The Cretzen Federation is grateful for this, Mr Deathmaker," Commander Doeng Suril said when he rose up from his seat with smiles on his face. The authorities of the Cretzen Federation had been worried.
"Commander Doeng, what about the white wolf? Isn't he going to rescue the governor's son?" Rey Castle asked.
"No, the governor wants him by his side. That is why the blood sword was hired to rescue the governor's son in his stead. Since you have accepted this mission, I will relay it to the governor at once," Commander Doeng Suril said.
"Very well then, I will be leaving for the red area... I have no reason to remain here," Rey Castle said.
"And besides, I have a question to ask you, Commander Doeng Suril. The white wolf belongs to the assassin guild. He took a full-time job serving your governor, which means he went against the code of the assassin guild."
"By my rights, I have the authority to drag him back to the assassin guild for treason and for him to take his punishment. If he refuses... I have the right to kill him. What is going to happen afterwards if he dies by my blade?" Rey Castle asked.
"Then you will be making an enemy out of the Cretzen Federation, and seeing what you have done in the past, it isn't something that you cannot do, right?" Commander Doeng Suril asked when Rey Castle giggled softly.
"Well, we will see about that. For now, I will be heading to the red area to rescue the governor's son."
Rey Castle said as he made his way out of the commander's office with pride. Mr K could be seen following him quietly when he cleared his throat, drawing the attention of Rey Castle to himself.
"What is it, K?" Rey Castle asked.
"Young master, do you intend to kill the white wolf?" Mr K calmly asked when Rey Castle chuckled softly. They were seen walking side by side, and he could read the intentions of Rey Castle.
"I don't know yet. The white wolf took a full job by serving the governor of the Cretzen Federation, hence breaking the oath he swore. Unless he exited the assassin guild publicly, he cannot take a full job."
"K, I would love for you to write a letter to the red scarlet clan and the assassin guild. My father is probably back in the Turion castle to take a break. I need him to be aware of the situation on the ground."
"Whether the white wolf lives or not... it is for me to decide," Rey Castle stated.
"But for now, I have a mission here. I will rescue the governor's son, but before I leave the red area, I will get the information that I need. And whoever stands in my way, they will perish completely!
