Luna Hall "Cough! Cough!" Eric coughed slightly, coming back to his senses.Seemed like things were not going to develop in the direction he wanted. Besides, if he was to take this girl into his harem, wouldn't that mean he would somehow offend the Beyonders?Besides, if she was from a family of immortals, why in the hell was she working as an assassin?Something was wrong. Recently, he had not yet provoked or called much attention to himself to cause people with the ability to hire immortals, right?Or could this just be a side gig for her, and her family didn't know about it?A lot of thoughts rummaged through Eric's mind as he started to overthink things. He was not too sure of what he was seeing.Well, seems like it was not as simple as it was on the surface."Hey, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and let me go." Luna's voice came, pulling Eric out of his thoughts."Sure," Eric agreed, withdrawing his aura almost immediately.This girl's family was a little bit formidable; h

BeyondersThe rest of the journey proceeded peacefully. No one attacked, nor were there any other assassins who made a move.They were no fools and could tell that something was wrong with Alex and Avery."Finally," Eric stretched lazily, alighting from the train. It was already dark, and they would have a bit of a problem finding their way around."Sir, we've already made reservations at the nearest building to the beach," Alex spoke at this moment, looking over to Eric.He and Avery had returned their weapons to Eric, who kept them in his storage ring.There was no need to walk around with a sword and a katana. It was real, and they could be arrested.Though their positions were a little bit special, they didn't want to blow their cover."A car should be here to pick us up any moment from now," Avery added, looking anxiously at her phone.What they feared most was keeping Eric waiting, and that was exactly what was happening now.Their only wish right now was to strangle whoever was

"Trying to do what I'm supposed to do, of course," Alex rolled his eyes, trying to get past Avery who had blocked him."What the heck do you think you're doing? He has helped us countless times, and yet, this is what you want to pay him with? Are you out of your senses?" Avery's expression darkened, blocking Alex fully.One who didn't hear their discussion fully would think Alex really wanted to assassinate Eric."How dumb are you? This is the best time to get rid of him. Haven't you seen the bounty?" Alex frowned slightly, raising his voice, a hint of annoyance could be felt within it."And how's that my business, I won't let you do anything to him," Avery scowled, also raising her voice, at the same time unsheathing her Katana, ready to face Alex."Move aside, he's an easy target right now, it won't be bad if we just finish him off," Alex spoke again, trying to convince his twin, clearly unwilling to fight her."Stop talking, I won't allow you to do anything to him. And if you must,

"Sir," The twins smiled bitterly after stabilizing themselves, shame washed over them as they couldn't meet Eric's gaze.They were defeated under three moves by the other party. But then, they would want to blame him on the fact the other party used poison.Again, according to a law, all is fair in love and war, so they were still at fault.If it were not for the fact they had attacked suddenly, it was clear they wouldn't have been able to land even a blow.And that was shameful to hear."So have you learnt your lesson?" Eric raised his brows, staring at the twins."Yes sir," The two nodded, recalling all that had happened.They had made quite a few mistakes and they were sure Eric must have realized it, but he didn't tell them because he wanted them to learn the hard way.One of the mistakes they made was not understanding the nature of the attack of the other party.Though they could argue they just met her and there was no chance to investigate. From the method used right from the

"Sure," Eric agreed almost immediately, taking a plate of food from the lady."And you two?" The lady turned to the twins, brows raised as she seemed to scrutinize them."Nah, we're good," Alex refused, frowning slightly, feeling as though something was off, but he didn't say anything."Alright then," The lady nodded, her smile gentle as she placed back the food on the trolley.But just as she turned away from them, a sinister smile spread out on her face before it vanished almost immediately before walking into the inner compartments."Don't you think that lady was weird?" Alex turned to his twin, his expression unsettling, his mind replaying the scene over and over trying to find what was wrong."Yeah, she gave off a kind of dangerous aura, and I can't seem to fathom what it is," Avery agreed, eyes also squinting as she thought about it."Sir? Don't you find anything strange with that lady?" Alex couldn't finally hold back and turned to Eric who was devouring the food."Of course, t
425:The Train
(Hours Later)"Sir, where are we heading to?" Alex asked as they walked out of the hotel, the hotel staff blinked, staring at them, wondering when they had walked back in.Well, they had no idea as they all thought maybe it was their colleagues there that morning that saw them."We headed to the train station," Eric answered, flagging down a taxi making the twins wonder where they were heading to.It was already nighttime, and they were sure Eric didn't know any place in Oakdale,so where did he want to go?"I heard there's a beach in a certain part of Oakdale, so that's where we'll be going, Eric continued after a while."Beach?" The twins froze, still not believing their ears. There was no way they were going for a vacation right? But then thinking about it, that seemed to be the case. Eric had given the old man five days to reconsider meaning they had five days to waste.That was just perfect. They could finally relax.They had been busy for quite a while and were only going to ge
