Assassination System

Chapter 78 Abandoning Dignity

[System Assisted Recovery, Completed!]

[Cost: 500 ASP]

Dan's consciousness awakened from slumber as several system notifications told him about his condition. It turns out that he suffered from extreme blood loss and collapsed.

If not for Natalie's help and the System's intervention, it would have taken longer for him to recover. Urging his upper body, he observed the area and found Juliet along with Natalie sleeping on his thigh.

His expression softened and he stretched his hand out, caressing the foreheads of the two as a warm smile spread on his lips. Memories came flooding in about his previous life and he remembered that he didn't have the chance to experience such warmth.

As a NEET, his parents abandoned him out of shame, and even his siblings despised him. He could only find such warmth in watching animes and embracing his beloved Kobayashi Kanna bodypillow.

But now, now that he had his current life, Dan found his current situation as precious in his heart. And he will definitely do anything to protect his status quota.

His incessant rubbing awakened Natalie and a gentle smile spread on her lips when she saw Dan. Standing up, she carried Juliet back to her room and silently prepared breakfast.

Meanwhile, Dan closed his eyes and checked the condition of his body. Indeed, he broke through the Organ Tempering Realm. Opening his stats window, the following information was displayed.

[Name: Dan Gabriel Longinus; Age: 16; Status: ??????????]

[Stats: Str: 5, Int: 12, Dex: 13, Agi: 15, Sta: 5]

[For Reference, one stat point equals an average human's stat.]

[Cultivation: Early Stage of the Organ Tempering Realm]

[System Evaluation: Mediocre]

In comparison, his little wife, Natalie's stats were as follows.

[Name: Natalie Longinus; Age: 23; Status: Member of the Longinus Clan]

[Stats: Str: 13, Int: 22, Dex: 18, Agi: 19, Sta: 10]

[Cultivation: Peak Stage of the Organ Tempering Realm]

[For Reference, one stat point equals an average human's stat.]

[System Evaluation: Lmao, your wife is stronger than you...]

Dan bitterly smiled upon reading the System's Evaluation of Natalie, however, he became curious, just how did Natalie reach her current cultivation? Back when the incident of his disappearance still didn't happen. Natalie's cultivation was just at the mere Early Stage of the Flesh Tempering Realm, but in mere weeks, she crossed an entire Realm and a half...

'Could it be that she consumed, some kind of a secret medicine or maybe she used a secret art?' Dan's face paled, even by just hearing the name, 'secret' one would understand that using such method will definitely result in serious repercussions.

"Hubby, I prepared some breakfast, come, sit up and eat..." Natalie brought with her a tray where numerous light dishes stood. Since Dan just awakened from a deep slumber, she didn't want to surprise his stomach so she opted for light meals.

"What's wrong?" Natalie asked she saw that Dan's expression looked pale and worried. Dan didn't even hear her inquiry. Instead, he focused on the series of system notifications that appeared in the air before him.

[Results: Nothing found!]

Dan knitted his eyebrows, he scanned Natalie's body in an effort to find any hidden damages but the system returned nothing. It could only mean one thing, either Natalie broke through realms with her own efforts or she used a method that didn't have any side effects.

But how could Dan believe that such a miraculous method existed without any hidden effects? And judging by the fact that it evaded the System's scrutiny, it could be said that the method she used was a high leveled one.

Without any other choice, Dan could only ask her as he received the tray before saying, "Little wife, just how did you achieve the Peak Stage of the Organ Tempering Realm in just a few weeks?"

Natalie's expression flickered, her face turned uncomfortable. Darting her gaze around, her mind spun, looking for ways to change the topic, "Taste the dish that I made, I've been practicing ever since you disappeared..."

She said and Dan obliged, placing the spoon filled with congee inside his mouth. A burst of flavor froze his mind as his eyes narrowed in pleasure. The spices contained within the dish created a symphony that could be compared to the dishes that he could make once he went full power.

His hand became blurry, stuffing spoonfuls after spoonfuls of the congee inside his mouth. Without realizing it, the bowl became empty and his expression became tragic.

Looking at his pitiful expression, Natalie chuckled. "Don't worry, I prepared lots of this congee, for you..." She took the bowl from Dan's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

Dan stared at her disappearing back, "Am I forgetting something?" He mumbled, but soon shook the idea out of his head, "Oh, well, since I forgot about it, I don't think it's that important of a matter anyway..."

Natalie entered the kitchen and a small satisfied smile lifted on her lips, 'I managed to change the topic, but I don't think that he'll forget about it...' She inwardly thought she didn't really want him to know about the matter of her cruel training.

She was afraid that once Dan's image of her as an adorable little wife was shattered. He may abandon her. No matter what, Dan abandoning her was something that she didn't know if she could endure.

Gripping the hems of her one-piece dress, she thought to herself, 'I'll keep it a secret as long as possible...' She sighed then refilled the bowl and returned back to Dan's room.

Dan received the bowl and voraciously ate once again. Once he was full, he became sleepy and laid on the bed lazily. He glanced at Natalie, hinting at something.

The latter who received his intentions, blushed for a moment before sighed to herself and dove under the covers. The sudden suction force and the warm sensation that spread on his body, made him narrow his eyes as he intermittently rubbed her head.

But just as he reached his climax. The door suddenly burst open, revealing Juliet whose expression looked like she was about to cry.

"Juliet?!" Dan was startled, Juliet was usually asleep in the early stages of the morning and so, he didn't expect that she would be awake.

The little girl, completely oblivious to everything ran towards her father figure and embraced his neck,

"Uwuuu...Papa...Juliet is so worried..." Juliet started her rant. Apparently, she saw him being carried by Natalie towards the bathroom, drenched with his own blood.

Though Natalie explained to her what happened, as a young child, she didn't really understand what her mother had said, and the only thing she knew was her father was laying on the ground with blood all over his body.

"Okay, okay, I understand, but Juliet, father is going to sleep, for now, so you can go come back here later..." Dan's lips repeatedly twitched in an effort to prevent his mouth from moaning. His eyes turned sharp and he stared at bulge around his lower body.

'This vixen...why is she not stopping...' Despite the fact that their daughter was beside them, Natalie intensified her attacks and furiously bobbed her head in an effort to hasten his climax.

"No, I don't wanna! I wanna stay with Papa!" Juliet tightened her embrace and hung like a monkey from his neck, making him speechless.

The intensifying suction force and the pleasure that surged from his lower body. Quickly became something that he couldn't endure as he exploded. Natalie's figure under the sheets trembled and his expression reddened along with his breathing that became ragged pants.

Fortunately, Juliet was still oblivious to everything and only when Natalie stood up under the sheets did she notice her mother's existence, "Mama, what are you doing there?" She asked,

Natalie darted her gaze at Dan, and the latter stared at her face and found that her mouth was bulging. Wryly smiling, he explained, "Juliet, Mama, and Papa was playing hide and seek earlier, but since you came here, we can't play anymore..."

Juliet's expression flickered, "Why can't Mama and Papa play hide and seek with Juliet?" Her expression looked somber and Dan's smile turned bitter, "That's because it's a hide and seek, meant for adults,"

"A hide and seek meant for adults?" Juliet innocently said, and Dan nodded his head in response,

"Yes, you can call it, under the sheets hide and seek..." Dan joked and Natalie's harsh glare landed on his figure.

"Okay...Juliet will go back to her room so Papa and Mama can play under the sheets hide and seek, mkay?" Juliet caught something was amiss, yet she didn't relate something about it.

Dan nodded her head, "That would be good, Juliet should sleep for now since Papa will prepare a present when she wakes up..."

The little girl became excited after hearing the prospects of a present. Walking outside of the room, the couple heaved a sigh of relief as Natalie coldly said, "Under the sheets hide and seek?"

Dan awkwardly scratched his cheek, "Ermm, It's just an excuse, you know? And she won't really understand the meaning behind it," Natalie didn't reply, it seems like she understood what Dan meant, but her cold expression that remained on her face indicated her sour mood.

Moving closer, he embraced her from the back and murmured, "My little wife, you just committed an act of murdering countless innocent lives..." He joked when he saw that the bulge on her mouth had disappeared.

"And whose fault is that?" Natalie snapped, but before Dan could respond, a knock came from the entrance followed by Juliet's voice that said, "I'll go answer it so Mama and Papa continue their game, okay?"

Dan chuckled upon hearing what she said. Natalie turned speechless, she couldn't comprehend the fact that Dan just taught their daughter some innuendos. Fortunately, she was still oblivious to those matters and would eventually forget about what Dan had taught her.

At the entrance to their residence, the figures of Mathias and Charlotte could be seen waiting at the door. When the door opened with a creak, their expressions softened when they saw the figure of the adorable Juliet opening the doors for them.

"What a cute little child, can we come in?" Mathias revealed an amiable smile while Charlotte turned conflicted upon seeing Dan's daughter. Entering their residence, Mathias commented upon witnessing Juliet preparing them some bottled tea.

"What a precocious child," Mathias glanced at his daughter and found that her expression looked indescribable, the former chuckled, "Why is my little daughter looks so tragic? It's not like you don't have a chance..."

Mathias consoled but this made her expression even worse. The fact that she had feelings for someone who was married and even had kids made gave her a sensation of a family wrecker.

Sighing in her heart, she sipped her own tea along with Mathias who asked, "Little girl, Juliet. Can we see your father for a bit?"

Mathias and Charlotte continued in drinking their tea but as they were about to swallow it, Juliet dropped a bombshell.

"Mama and Papa are playing under the sheets hide and seek, can uncle and sister, wait for a moment?"

Two fountains of tea burst from their mouth as both father and daughter abandoned their dignity and drenched themselves with the tea.
