"You survived. That's passable" The tall muscular man nodded in appreciation.
"Master's strength has once again grown."
"You have Humphrey to thank for that. His son's visit will be classified as a mission of top priority. If Lennox wants his son to see the Underworld, then we shall happily comply. Is that clear?"
"We understand, Master." The lead assassin nodded. Wounds were slowly appearing all over his body. It was as if an invisible knife was slowly slashing his skin.
"Sting should be back after his mission. His growth is impressive. It seems that his encounter with one of Lennox's men gave him great fortune. Make use of this encounter and learn from them as they will be learning from us. This should all awaken us and remind us that there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens above the heavens. If I find out that you all are weaker than them… then you all know what to expect in the future."
This marks the first "premium chapter."
From here on out, it's Unlocking via spirit stones. (pun intended)
I'd just like to say, that I do hope to turn this hobby of writing into a full-time job. But that can only come true of course, if this story here would slowly grow. Please support us readers and say no to piracy. this is our livelihood after all. I mean, if you must pirate someone, pirate Eiichiro Oda. He doesn't care if you pirate his work, in fact, I think they allow it on some countries because people who pirate One Piece end up buying One Piece toys, shirts, and others so they still earn via royalty. But us small guys need every paying reader we can get. So do help us reach that dream. And maybe someday, if ever I reach a stage that I can earn even a fourth of what these big guys earn, then I won't care for piracy. lol.
