Assassination System

Chapter 190 Danilo Duterte

Mathias coldly looked down from below, his dignified figure and the faint aura of dominance that wafted out from his body intimidated those that stared at him.

The disciples from the Paradyne Academy stared dumbstruck at Mathias' figure before simultaneously exclaiming in surprise and shock.

"Headmaster Paradyne?! What is he doing here?!"

"I find it inconceivable that he would appear here without any reason, could it be that he's here to congratulate the Luzon Clan?"

"Idiot, if he's here to congratulate them, then why is he flying there, looking all arrogant and domineering?"

Elders from the Luzon Clan that tended on the fallen geniuses flew beside the Patriarch and stared warily at Mathias.

"What's wrong? Is there something that you should feel afraid from that you're looking at me like that?" Mathias revealed a small smile.

Beaded sweats dripped down Warren's cheeks but he didn't even wipe them away as he said with a trembling voice.

"May I know what business does the Headmaster of the prestigious Paradyne Academy has for me?"

In front of Mathias, the Patriarch of the Luzon Clan was merely a junior and before the powerful Paradyne Academy, his clan could only be considered as a small hamlet.

All six Elders of the Luzon Clan looked pale and exhausted, even without utilizing his cultivation base, Mathias' figure alone pressured their minds. But paired with the fact that he was currently emanating an air of dominance, they struggled to keep their balance and not fall on the ground.

"Business?" Mathias shrugged, "There's no need to hide anything from me, Warren. I have heard of your participation regarding slave trafficking. Of course, you do know that such a thing is forbidden based on the Federation's Index of Righteousness, right?"

Everyone, from guests to the Elders and disciples of the Luzon Clan and even the Patriarch himself stared at Mathias with widened eyes. Warren's figure intensely trembled and his expression reddened from anger and shame.

It was fine if Mathias accused him, but that was under the circumstances that no one other than the two of them was present. However, right now, almost all influences in the Empire were gathered in his residence. Such accusation would surely spread like wildfire.

"Senior Mathias' knowledge and wisdom are as boundless as the ocean. However, this time you have failed, for your accusation against me is false and without truth!" Patriarch Warren's experience enabled him to reclaim his composure as he replied.

The Elders emerged from their stupor and shouted, "That's right, that's right! Even if you're the strongest person in the Empire, don't ever think that you can easily accuse us like this! This is blatant bullying! Don't you have any shame?!"

One of the boldest Elders even shouted that Mathias was a shameless man. As expected, fury surfaced on Mathias' face as he gave a vicious laughter.

"I see, I see, so you bastards wouldn't give up and cry until you can see your own coffin, right?" Mathias venomous words echoed out like thunder, Warren had a premonition in his heart and glanced at Dan.

'No, that's impossible! Under the effects of the Blood Contract, if he reported me to the Headmaster, there should be no way that he's standing here!'

Since time immemorial, the effects of the Blood Contract was absolute, those that tried challenging its power all failed and died a miserable death.

Mathias opened his palm, revealing a small gemstone that looked resplendent under the sunlight. Those that saw it exclaimed with varying emotions. But the most shaken of them all was the Patriarch of the Luzon Clan whose body started trembling like a sieve.

In his fear and terror, his cultivation base subconsciously rotated sending those around him into retreat, including Dan and Natalie.

"What's wrong? Patriarch Warren of the Luzon Clan? Why do you look so flustered?" Mathias sarcastically remarked.

Patriarch Warren ignored Mathias' words and stared hatefully at Dan. No matter how much he wracked his brain, he couldn't find any answer to his question as to how Dan evaded the punishment of the Blood Contract.

In the end, he could only stare venomously at him with eyes full of hatred and anger. Dan stared right back at him in confusion. Natalie knitted her eyebrows in a frown, 'Why is he looking at my husband like that?'

Patriarch Warren swept his gaze over at Mathias and said with a green expression that looked like he just ate shit.

"Senior Mathias, I don't know anything about the contents of that Profound Imagery Stone. But there's no way that your accusation is right!"

"I stand by my clansmen and plead innocent about this matter!" Patriarch Warren assumed a sturdy stance and raised the morale of his people. Those that supported the Luzon Clan beforehand raised their pitchforks and started their warcry.

"That's right, that's right! The Luzon Clan has been kind to us mortals, how could you someone that hasn't even lent a hand to us, accuse them of such vicious crimes?!"

"A baseless accusation is useless, if you have any proof then show them now or else give us a proper explanation about what you're doing!"

Mathias crossed his arms together and stared at the commotion as if he was watching a show. Mathias' confidence and the sarcastic smile on his face shook the hearts of everyone from the Luzon Clan.

Slave Trafficking was a heinous crime that every influence condemned, once found guilty, the Luzon Clan will instantly lose everything that they have and would be erased from existence. Not only that, the remaining members of the Clan would forever be branded as a disgrace.

"Why are you guys so worked up like that? We're talking about a grave matter, you know? Something that concerns the life and death of your clan..." Mathias shrugged, "Since you guys are looking so anxious, it should be right for me to respond to your wishes. Behold, the concrete evidence of the Luzon Clan's crimes!"

Mathias' body shone in a crimson light that looked like fire as he infused his Spiritual Qi inside the Profound Imagery Stone. The stone ignited with resplendent lights and a mist that gradually formed images floated up in the air.

But before it could even form, a mighty and dignified voice shook the space itself as the Profound Imagery Stone shattered into fragments.

"Insolence!"

Mathias' eyes narrowed in a dangerous light. Everyone's eyes darted at the source of the voice and there, they found a middle-aged man clad in purple robes embroidered with intertwined dragons soaring towards the skies.

The man was the one and only Emperor of the Empire of Eternal Faith.

Danilo Duterte himself!
