The Conquerors Path

Chapter 216-Revenge

"Revenge for father"

The words had barely left Austin's mouth as bloodlust filled the room, the previous loving look on Nora was replaced by utter seriousness and a hint of bitterness, Austin could see several emotions pass through Nora's eyes, even if she hid it he knew that she missed their father heavily, it was the great burden that filled her heart.

Back in the past their father Alexander Lionheart was killed surrounded by several assassins, it was huge news that shook the Empire but that was just the beginning of a bloodbath that dyed the streets of the Empire red, Austin's grandfather who heard this news didn't even hesitate to break military code as he brought along with him, his most prized army.

His aunt Mira broke her training as she rushed back, Grace went mad as she hunted all that was responsible, the great assassin house that had executed their father was brought to their knees, no matter where they ran, where they hid, the army chased them like rabid dogs, charging onto them and killing them one by one.

An assassin den that boasted of great power was destroyed, this served as a warrant reminder to all that the Lionheart family was not to be trifled with. But all of this was not that useful, the ones that truly killed their father were not found, the informant that leaked the news of their father was never discovered, and lastly, the name of the person that issued the death too was unknown.

All in all, this was a heavy blow and a scar that haunted many, especially Nora a little girl that had lost her loving father, back then she was too young to move for revenge, Austin knew that his sister after gaining power had searched far and wide for answers, yet she never found them, nobody did, the dealings were too profound.

Well, that was until Austin had finally found a lead, it might not be possible for others but was it too hard for an organization whose roots run through the world? with the perfect tools, he had dug up the truth that was buried in lies, to say that it surprised him would be an understatement, in truth he wanted all of his family to share in this revenge, sadly he had to use this chance for Nora.

Though this doesn't mean that he won't give the chance to the rest, oh no he will make sure that the entire family would be involved in the revenge that would shake the foundation of the world but for once Austin doesn't care, he would make sure that this family of his would get the revenge they deserve,

"Nora calm down"

Austin spoke as he clutched Nora's hand, this cooled her down a bit but the bloodlust raging in her mind didn't, she took deep deep breaths to regain some clarity before which she spoke,

"Au-Austin what d-did you say?"

Seeing the trembling words of Nora, Austin sighed, he stood up as he walked towards her standing beside her he pulled her towards his arms, placing her head on his chest, Nora became blank her mind reeled back to the past the day that Austin did this for the first time as he helped her break the cocoon that she had built up,

"Cam down Nora, as I said you would get your revenge, trust me I will make sure that you will have enough"

The words were like magic to Nora's ears as her raging heart cooled down, she clutched his shirt as her head rested on his chest completely, his scent filled her nose relaxing her body, staying close she closed her eyes as her mind rested in his embrace, just like all those years ago.

"Hehehe...we did it, we finally got our hands on this, with this we can finally remove the damn cure that's placed on our body"

A lean and somewhat handsome man spoke as he held onto a vail, by his side stood another two who were looking at the vail with the same hidden glint in their eyes, both of them looked decent and powerful, deeply hidden bloodlust rotated within their body. Suddenly the eyes of one of the men flashed with worry as he spoke,

"Should we have gone out? you two know that this curse would cause them to find and hunt us"

"Humph! who cares! due to this fucking curse, we have been running and hiding like a rat! if it wasn't for the curse we would have lived like kings!"

The man holding the vail spoke, his eyes flashing with hatred but also a hidden fear, fear of a family that went to maddening lengths to repay a blood feud with blood, the other man who was quiet spoke,

"It's okay the formation here would block the course from being detected, we are safe plus the Darknight auction is known for its credibility so we are safe for now"

"That's right"

The man holding the vail nodded his head, his eyes flashing with revenge as he spoke,

"Once we break this curse we could stop living like dogs! and then why don't we use this chance to hunt down that little brat that escaped in the past, maybe 'he' would reward us for it"

"That's a good idea, oh how long as it was before I could kill someone!"

One of the men beside the vail holding guy spoke, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness. It was then a whisper was heard,

"I would like to see all of you try"

The words were soft and warm, reminiscent of a devil whimper, the three of the stiffened but it didn't take them even a second before their daggers were at their hand as they viewed their surroundings carefully, years of their experience forced them to take a defensive role but it was then they noticed something that they had missed.

The was no noise in their vicinity! their eyes narrowed as they surveyed their surrounding, just like normal they were walking through the street even now they were on the streets but the vibrant streets were missing the normally bustling people! a chill ran down the three's spines as they thought of the consequences that were about to take place.

Tup...Tup....Tup

The voice of walking could be heard, it was coming from everywhere, the vigilance of the three increased as they waited for their hidden enemy to show himself and show themselves did they, as a man and a woman arrived in front of the three each wearing a mask that hid their identity,

"Who are you?"

The one that was holding the vail before spoke with a chilling voice as he gazed deeply at the enemy that had appeared before them, the man in front of them smiled mockingly as his voice was heard,

"We? we are just the grim reaper sent from hell to collect you pitiful soul"

"Oh really? but I'm afraid to tell you that the two of you would be the ones dead"

The other man spoke to which there was no reply as the man with the mask looked towards the woman beside him as he spoke,

"Their all yours"

Hearing Austen's words Nora nodded her head as her sword appeared in her arms, the bloodlust within her body burned forth as she attacked with that intent to kill.
