Although he was no longer in command of the city, he was a man who, at one point, was one of the greatest powers in the world. And his strength could not just vanish, so he was still a great power.
If he were the one to do it, the Adamses wouldn't worry. Once the entire Kaze hereditary line was eradicated, they had more freedom of movent and could initiate a large-scale battle to destroy that Clan once and for all, even if the 3 Leaders were involved.
Naturally, they had confidence against the 3 Leaders, and it was not due to themselves but to the Old Leader. If he promised to help them, they would both have an alliance that would resolve, in the anti, the Leaders, for the greatest hatred in the heart of the Old Leader is those three, and those three have long wanted to kill him.
Basically, Adams wanted to use the Old Leader as an assassin against the entire younger generation of the Kaze and, in turn, as a shield to give him a chance for revenge.
Although the Old Leader noticed this, he did not show it. 'It's just what that youngster wants. It looks like things will go better by following his plan.' He smiled.
"Such a tempting proposal, naturally, I can't turn it down so easily."
"Then-"
"But..." Before Robert could speak, the Old Leader raised his hand to stop him. "I'm not an assassin; how do you expect to go around murdering children of such a powerful clan?"
Robert smiled, "Don't worry about that, Old Leader. I've co up with a plan, and it will only take about 3 months to complete, which is very little. The plan is practically foolproof, as we have all the pieces to carry it out." He replied.
But Robert quickly saw that the old Leader was shaking his head. "No, that won't do."
"Huh? Why?" Robert asked, astonished.
"Robert Adams, you must understand that part of your plan is to start a war against the Kaze, but you are giving them 3 months to prepare. Right now, they are not prepared, and even less will they be if, suddenly, many of them die without even knowing who is killing them. The plan must be executed and carried out in 1 month, at the most." At his response, Robert frowned.
What he said made sense, but he didn't know why he was locking himself into this old man's tactics. "Aren't you saying you have no way to do it? You're not an assassin; you said so yourself."
The Old Leader smiled, "I don't need to be. Just because you guys have been doing stupid things doesn't an I have been doing it too. I have a collaborator who has been helping for a long ti. He is a great assassin who formulates very effective plans for mass murder. I can accept and follow your plan if you want to hire for this. You may end up failing in the total sche of your plan."
Robert was astonished. "Who is he? If he's willing to help and he's as good as you say he is, we can hire him." He replied quickly.
The Old Leader smiled. "He's expensive."
"It doesn't matter how expensive he is. If he can guarantee the right job, I'll pay for it." Robert's reply ca before the Old Leader finished, so he nodded.
"Don't worry, the first ti, he won't charge you anything. His way of operating in this type of situation is one in which you see how valuable he is. Subsequently, perhaps it will be sowhat costly for you, but the result will be satisfactory." As he said this, the Old Leader stood and looked at him.
"If you want to et him, let's go right now. I think he doesn't have any missions available at the mont." He told him, leaving Robert in shock.
"No, not right now. I have so research to do before I go." Robert replied quickly, causing the Old Leader to look at him.
"When will you be able to? If he gets hired, it won't be my fault. He's not soone who can be quiet for long." He replied, causing Robert to nod.
"Three days later, this very hour." He replied firmly, and the old Leader nodded.
"I'll see you in three days then." After saying this, the Old Leader left.
Only Robert remained in the room before disappearing.
.
And ti passes quickly; three days later at night, the Old Leader and Robert Adams, along with two more Adams, arrive in front of a mansion on the city's outskirts.
The mansion was very well camouflaged, but the silence inside was a bit overwhelming, proving that it was not as normal as it looked.
They entered through the front door and walked through the garden before arriving at the mansion's front door. Just before they could knock, the door opened.
A woman wearing a mask over her face appeared before them and nodded at the sight of them. "Long ti no see, Sir. Did you bring the guests you ntioned?" she asked, and the Old Leader nodded.
"Were you able to contact him?" He asked back, and she nodded.
"He's on a mission. Apparently, the Main Clans are having trouble." She replied after inviting them inside.
The Old Leader sighed and looked reproachfully at Robert. It was as if he was telling him, 'I told you, if we were late, soone would hire him.'
And the fact that the contractor was one of the Main Clans left a bad taste in the Adams' mouths. Still, they had nothing to go on.
"Miss, may I know if the Lord will return today?" Robert asked, stepping forward.
The woman saw him and looked thoughtful before shaking her head. "I wouldn't know. He might be here in 30 minutes, or he might be here in a few hours. It might even take a few days. What I would recomnd is that you wait for him." She replied calmly.
Her answer brought Robert no reassurance, but he nodded and sat where he was instructed.
Then the woman went to 'make tea.' Or so she said, but as she did so, she disappeared.
Robert frowned and looked sideways. "Disappeared?" he asked, confused. He looked at the Old Leader, who shrugged.
"Don't ask . I don't understand that either. Whenever I co here, I see people disappear, making think everyone here is a high-level assassin. Still, be prepared to drink tea; she'll be back when you least expect it." He spoke. Then he sat up straight and grabbed so snacks.
Suddenly, the woman appeared again, this ti in front of both of them.
