Chapter 390: The letter

( Present Day, Terra Nova Online )

“Esteemed Sir Ben…..” Ben said, tears of laughter rolling down from his eyes as he could not believe that the Emperor had been forced to personally write him a letter to seek for his help after all the history that they shared, and how until very recently, he tried to send the Virex Corps after him to re-establish his status as a fugitive.

“Your accent…. Hahaha, it’s too funny…. Too funny” Leo said, laughing inside his Baron’s office, as he was enjoying this moment almost as much as Ben was.

“Hahaha … Wait…. Wait …. Let me read it” Ben said, wiping a tear off his eyes, as he adjusted his voice and began reading the letter out-loud seriously.

“Esteemed Sir Ben, I hope this letter finds you in good health and I hope that the life of an upright crime-free citizen is suiting you nicely…” Ben said, as after reading this much, he could not contain his laughter as he put the letter aside and began laughing out loud.

“Pfft….. look at that lying piece of shit … he doesn’t give a fuck about me, hope it finds you in good health my ass, hahaha” Ben said, as he laughed almost hysterically at the Empire’s desperate situation, for him to be forced to ask Ben for help.

“Continue master, I want to hear the rest of it…” Leo urged, also laughing, as he seemed to be eager to know what the rest of the letter contained.

” *Cough*. I write this letter because I have to entrust a task of grave importance to you….” Ben continued reading, as his face slowly returned to normal.

” Sir Cedric, the leader of the Virex Corps and a ‘Master Assassin’ on his own, has met an untimely end at the hands of Dem Paltrow the ex-leaded of the Assassin Alliance after the two clashed in an epic battle.

Although both men finished the battle as dead men, it is only the loss of Sir Cedric that pains the Empire.

Without him, I am afraid I have no-one in my administration who can take on dangerous missions, and hence I must turn to you for help in this 11th hour….” Ben read outloud, as he raised an eyebrow at this unexpected news.

Both Cedric and Dem Paltrow were unbelievable fighters in their own right and it shocked Ben to know that they mutually killed each other in a fight.

“There is a human collaborating with the Demons on the Empire’s Eastern border, who we presume can speak fluent Demon Tongue.

His very existence is a threat to humanity, since he is capable of organizing the demons into proper formations for battles, and passing on to them the human knowledge that gives us the edge over those brutes.

It is our assumption that it was this very man who leaked our maps to the demons and taught them how to read it, which has now helped the demons avoid the pitfalls of the Eastern Forest and reach our lands with ease…..” Ben said, as at this point even he started to look concerned about the contents of this letter.

If a Demon Whisperer had truly emerged, then it was indeed a matter of grave significance for entire humanity, as demons who could strategize and move like humans could lead to the entire human race being exterminated.

“Your mission is to exterminate this individual before he leaks even more of our secrets to the Demon-kind, however, as things stand he is currently a leader of a demon regiment and is unreachable for the common man.

Sir Cedric was the only man under my administration who could have completed this dangerous mission, however, with his death, I must turn to you, the greatest assassin alive to help humanity in its grave time of need…..

The elimination of the Demon Whisperer and the Demon King, is essential for the peace and security of the human race and I hope that although we have had our differences, you will not let them come in the path of doing what is right for the human race…..” Ben read aloud, as he began to almost grind his teeth at this moment.

Ben knew that the Emperor Julien D Evanus was manipulating him by using clever language in his letter, however, unfortunately, he could not dismiss the matter too simply either.

The danger that the Demon Whisperer posed to humanity was real and if he was surrounded by a demon regiment as the information claimed, then only someone as skilled as Ben could ever hope to bring him down.

“Upon successful completion of the mission, I’m ready to label you as a saint and as a hero of the Empire, which will undoubtedly elevate your status in the public eye and help improve your legacy.

However, if your personal brand is no longer enough of a motivator for you, then I promise rewards for your disciple as well, elevating his noble status from a mere Baron to a Count, should you complete this mission.

Hoping for a swift reply,

Emperor Julien D Evanus” Ben said, as he completed reading the letter.

Unlike the funny expression he had on his face at the start, Ben was left stunned by the end, as the contents of the letter were not what he expected them to be at all.

After reading the letter Ben finally understood why the Emperor dared to send a letter of request to him, despite their past, as the matter of the Demon Whisperer was such that not even Ben could dismiss it easily.

“So what are we going to do, master?” Leo asked, his voice now serious as well, as he caught on to the significance of this letter.

“I can’t refuse this request…. Even though I hate Julien, I can’t refuse this request because the fate of humanity depends on it.

I guess we are going to the Eastern war front….” Ben said, as he conveyed his decision of accepting this mission to Leo.
