The Youngest Assassin Is a Swordsman Genius

Episode 27

Sotaejeon meeting could only be convened by the head of household.

Sotaejeon, which opened for the first time in nearly 20 years, was a majestic building.

The reason it hadn’t been used for such a long time was because the head of household was away all the time.

Even before I was born as Ray Landsvalger.

‘It’s not a joke, is it heavy?’

The atmosphere of the transcendental agents was quite solemn.

It feels like an undead engulfed in the aura of death.

It’s because the head of household has returned after a long time, and he doesn’t know why he summoned them.

It must have felt like walking on thin ice.

chuck. chuck.

It was only after the branch heads were seated that it was the turn of the immediate family members to enter.

The first thing that caught my eye was the luxuriously decorated table.

It seemed to be the place where the head of household sat.

In the chairs on the second podium, top-ranking agents from the chief to the branch manager sat.

Beneath the podium was the seat for other transcendental level agents and direct subordinates.

Family members do not give special treatment even to direct relatives, so we had to sit in the last place unconditionally.

However, as soon as I sat down, I met eyes with someone across from me.

‘Mitra?’

It was Mithra, the first daughter of the Acting Governor and a transcendental agent of the western branch of the continent.

Her short-cropped white hair and clear red eyes were her biggest characteristics.

He is very similar to Kairam, from his appearance as if he had been pulled out and his outstanding abilities.

After our gazes intertwined for a moment, Mitra’s eyes changed completely.

Judging by the noticeable reaction, you must have heard that I became a special agent.

‘It’s fun. As expected, people must succeed in life unconditionally.’

I let out a self-deprecating laugh inwardly and turned my head away.

As she pretended not to care, her eyes narrowed at once.

However, Mitra immediately looked towards the podium as if he was not interested.

After a moment of awkward silence, the door behind the platform at Sotaejeon opened and someone appeared.

thud! thud! thud!

On the surface, it was only a light step, but it felt like a huge hammer was hitting my heart.

Everyone in the hall seemed overwhelmed by the energy carried by the sound waves.

by just one person.

“It’s been a while.”

The existence that came out of the darkness was a man with brown hair neatly tied up.

It is Claude the Black Sand, the supreme leader of the Landsvalger family.

Although he was well past his middle age, the patriarch looked very young.

Like Kairam, he must have gone through a metamorphosis.

Soon, everyone jumped up from their seats.

Then he took an example and shouted at the same time.

“Meet the family head.”

“All right. Sit down.”

It was a gathering of dozens of transcendent agents, but Claude took the initiative.

He scanned the crowd with dry eyes.

Every time the gaze of the family head reached, the agents slightly lowered their heads.

It was then that Claude’s gaze passed through the other direct lineage and turned to me.

‘Yes!’

In an instant, I almost fell off the chair.

It was because an extreme sense of fear of unknown origin had strangled the mind and body.

As if it wasn’t just a hallucination, even the demon raised a lot of aura and calmed the body.

Thanks to clenching my fists and holding on, the unfortunate accident of collapsing did not happen.

‘I think I know why they didn’t rebel.’

The family head had been vacant for 20 years.

However, there was no movement of reverse revolution at all.

There was only a degree of power check between transcendent agents.

The reason was simple.

It was because of the absolute powerlessness of Claude the Black Death.

‘It’s empty. I can’t feel anything.’

I thought I would be able to find out something if I met the family head.

No matter how long you neglect it, it is not a child.

I’m just an bastard, but Kairam’s three daughters still spent their childhood with Claude.

However, there was no emotion in Claude’s eyes as he looked over at his immediate family.

Not only that, I couldn’t feel even a single ray of energy.

The void itself.

I felt a great fear in the gaze of the head of the house, which was dry and unadorned.

I felt like I finally understood what it meant to say that I couldn’t detect a presence even though I was looking with my own eyes.

After a while, a deep, low-pitched voice resounded in the hall.

It was the voice of the housekeeper.

“Let’s start.”

“Yes.”

It seemed that he was finally trying to find out why he summoned all the heads of the family.

The crowd stared at the podium with firm expressions.

Then the senior elder brought a bundle of papers and put them on the head of the household.

That seemed to be what we were discussing this time.

“As expected, quite a lot has changed. Thank you for leading the family well.”

“It’s too much praise.”

“There must have been a lot of things in the past, but I’m going to simply say congratulations and move on, focusing on recent events.”

Swoop.

As Claude turned the first page of the document, the tension rose to its peak.

It was because here, indirectly, a decision was made as to how the head of the family would be treated.

“First of all, Kairam, acting head of household. You have protected the family for a long time without change. I know your loyalty.”

“Nothing special. I just did my duty.”

I couldn’t help but burst into admiration at Kairam’s immediate response.

How could that old witch be able to give such a noble and gentle answer!

It was quite a refreshing shock.

‘No, did you at least rejuvenate because your husband came back?’

I glanced up at the top of the podium with slightly bewildered eyes.

However, the transcendental level agents did not respond to the behavior of the acting governor.

Perhaps it was originally like that.

“Then… Ozma.”

“Yes, my lord.”

When his name was called, the man standing behind Claude stepped forward and bowed his head.

A black-haired middle-aged man with an impressive hooked nose, Kairam’s best confidant who covers his entire body with a black robe.

It was Chief Elder Ozma.

The family head smiled and turned over a piece of paper.

It was just a bright smile, but the audience was enveloped in a huge pressure.

Clearly, there was no energy that Claude exuded at all.

It wasn’t that he raised his aura or did anything special.

However, everyone in the hall could feel the terrible death.

‘I’m just overpowering the atmosphere with momentum. That’s the ultimate level where the intent to kill becomes murder.’

In general, super-secret was a word used to refer to Kairam, the only tier 1 assassin in the family.

However, Claude of the Black Death showed a level far beyond her.

Just the natural act of handing over documents.

Everyone in the Sotaejeon Hall expected that a strong wind would soon blow.

It’s true that Ozma was active as one of the powerful.

It was after Claude left the country that he was appointed chief elder.

‘There must be something wrong.’

However, an unexpected remark came out of the head of the house.

“You helped the acting head of the household to lead the family well. Well done. I’ll give you a separate reward.”

“Thank you, Mr. Gaju.”

Ozuma also answered with a slight stutter, as if this kind of pettiness was unexpected.

Then, the expressions of the transcendent agents, who were full of tension, relaxed slightly.

To be honest, it was because there were only a handful of people left.

It seemed that the purpose of this convocation was truly just an inspection.

After rummaging through the documents, Claude praised the agents for their hard work, mentioning major incidents.

Of course, there were also direct relatives among them.

“Downfall, the head of the western branch of the continent. And Mithra, the lord of annihilation.”

“Yes, my lord.”

When his name was called, Mitra, who was sitting across from him, stood up and looked up at the podium.

Claude smiled faintly, and first mentioned the head of the Western branch.

“I heard that the situation in Railhash is unusual.”

“Yes, it is. The civil war has intensified, and agents have been brought in frequently.”

“Even in the midst of that, he was good at walking a tightrope. He took advantage of it while maintaining neutrality.”

“I just followed the teachings of the family head.”

“Whoops. I’ll reward you separately.”

“thank you.”

The eastern and central regions moved only within the empire, but the activities of the western branch of the continent were quite different.

It was because they had to deal with not only the empire, but also the kingdom of Railhash and Corinth.

“Mitra, I’ve heard about your achievements. You did well.”

“……thank you.”

As much as the performance of the western branch of the continent was good, the role of annihilationism had no choice but to grow.

It was briefly praised and moved on, but the atmosphere in the hall was quite uplifted.

Claude’s one word could make the next generation of heads of household powerful.

The expressions of the transcendent agents who supported Mitra brightened in an instant.

It was certain that she was one step ahead of Wendy Sun, who was about to die.

“At this level, it seems that the regular report has been completed.”

It seemed that the reign of the family was over.

Now, there was a plan to point out the wrong things or to have a personnel transfer.

Maybe the changed internal cutting edge won’t suit Claude’s liking.

However, the empty gaze of the family head was directed to a place no one expected.

“……Ah, I almost forgot this.”

After a brief pause, Claude muttered as he unfolded the last document.

“Raise your head. Ray Landswalger.”
