My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 33 On the Assassination

Lynn remained silent.

Tina felt as if she was suffocating.

Her chest tightened, as if someone had gripped her heart.

My heart is aching, but it's also beating with anticipation.

But she didn't run away or change the subject; she just waited silently for Lynn's reply.

She had never felt time pass so slowly.

"..."

Lynn took the book from Tina's hands.

"A brief history of Driesburg, I knew you were looking at this history."

Lynn ignored Tina and continued flipping through the pages as she spoke.

"As a small country, the Dries family has a glorious history. Their first patriarch deliberately facilitated many such cases to ensure the purity of their bloodline. This did indeed make them a powerful force in the region for a short period of time."

The price they paid was that their descendants almost all suffered from various diseases and had short lifespans. The Driss family's glory thus came to an end. From then on, nobles never followed this path again. Although chaotic, it is indeed a valuable period of history.

Lynn handed the book back.

He wanted to smile to ease the tension, but Tina's tears forced a smile down his face.

"..."

Round tears slid down her cheeks, wetting the sheets.

Tina wiped her tears with her hands, but found that she couldn't dry them no matter what she did.

She sobbed softly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Lynn silently stroked Tina's hair.

Tina is immature, but he shouldn't be immature.

Even though this body contains a soul from another world, he is still deeply bound to this world and this family.

He can't go home, so he can't afford to lose his family.

"Tina...you're still young, one day you'll meet someone you truly love..."

Tina cried terribly.

She cried for a long time before finally falling asleep.

Lynn carried Tina back to the bedroom.

He casually took the optical guide crystal.

One night passed.

[Mana Adaptability (Level 0 3/100)]

The next day, Lynn finished breakfast early.

Tina's door remained locked.

Lynn shook his head helplessly.

There's nothing we can do; only time can heal the wounds.

Of course, everything would be fine if there were a melodramatic twist like Tina not being Uncle Anthony's biological daughter.

But that's even more impossible.

Uncle Anthony has struggled for so many years, but he only has one daughter, Tina.

If Tina weren't his biological daughter, even if he wasn't worried, his Aunt Edith would be frantic.

Surely it can't be that Uncle Anthony is incompetent?

Lynn stopped thinking about it.

He found his uncle and aunt and told them the truth.

After instructing his servants not to disturb him while he was reading in his room, he returned to his room and locked the door from the inside.

Lynn put on her gear in the room and packed everything she needed into her bag.

Lynn moved the bookcase aside and touched the hidden array symbol in the corner with his fingertips.

Everything before my eyes was distorted.

Lynn arrived at the tavern room in the blink of an eye.

Violet had already prepared her makeup and clothes and was sitting in a chair reading a book.

When Lynn arrived, she put down her book, her tone somewhat angry.

"My dear genius, do you know how impolite it is to keep a lady waiting? I've been waiting for you all night, isn't this different from what we agreed on?"

Lynn blinked, sensing that something was seriously wrong.

Oh no, I forgot about this yesterday because my sister was making a fuss.

He changed the subject somewhat guiltily, saying, "Violet, your dress looks pretty today."

Violet snorted coldly.

Do you think insincere flattery will make me forgive your mistakes? Do you take me for some kind of shallow woman?

Lynn sensed something was wrong and wanted to say something more.

Violet stretched out her hand.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's not too late to leave now."

It seems it was still useful.

Lynn took Violet's hand and followed the route she had chosen, quickly teleporting them to the city gate.

That's a really useful ability.

It seems that she will be able to get her job after this mission.

Lynn and Violet boarded the carriage that Violet had prepared and headed to Burdings.

Finally, the two arrived in Burdings that night.

Violet used Flash to enter the city, which was locked behind closed doors.

Then, Lynn was transported in using a teleportation marker.

Violet did not leave immediately, but instead took out a pale yellow-white transparent prismatic crystal from her ring.

She reluctantly applied the smear to the city wall.

Lynn was a little curious.

"What are you doing?"

Violet said irritably, "Erase my magical traces. Teleportation is a third-tier spell; the church can't know that a high-level superhuman was here."

Lynn was truly shocked.

"You're a third-tier transcendent!?"

Violet rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Now you know what sins you committed last night, right? Show me some respect from now on!"

Lynn was greatly shocked and extremely puzzled.

"Wait! If you're a third-tier transcendent, why didn't you stop the war on the front lines? Why didn't you kill that traitor sooner? And why didn't you save those Restoration Society members who died tragically!?"

Violet remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Her eyes were complex and sorrowful.

"The reasons for this are complicated, and you'll understand when you get to Sirnus. In short, those of us who are at least Tier 3 or higher are not allowed to participate in wars and combat missions. This is an unspoken rule that has been tacitly understood by both countries for nearly a hundred years."

Just like tonight, I can't help you; you'll have to kill that traitor yourself. But don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll get you out of there safely.

Lynn frowned as he looked at Violet, hesitating to speak.

Silent all the way.

With Violet's teleportation spell and teleportation array, they successfully infiltrated the mansion of the traitorous wealthy businessman.

The mansion was huge, almost like a castle.

It seems that the Kingdom of Uma takes this defector very seriously.

After searching the mansion, Lynn and his companion finally found the room where the wealthy merchant was.

It was a spacious living room.

The lights were dim.

The women swayed their graceful figures.

The wealthy businessman and several guests were drinking and clapping below, their faces flushed with excitement.

The fact that this group of lecherous men didn't turn on the lights made it easier for him to hide.

Lynn found a good spot to launch his attack and stared intently at the armored Umayyad in the center of the table.

He was that first-tier, fourth-star superhuman.

With him watching, Lynn can't make a move yet.

If possible, he should wait until the wealthy merchant and the Uma man are separated before making his move.

After all, they were inside the enemy's city, and it would be inconvenient to escape if they made too much noise.

Lynn tried her best not to trouble Violet with her help.

Because he was confident that he was capable enough to complete the task.

There were six people at the table.

Four Uma people and two Iportu people.

They clinked glasses and drank merrily.

Suddenly, the wealthy merchant beckoned and had a maid bring over a large leather trunk.

"Guys, this is magic powder I got from Areka. It's very pure, enough to keep us entertained all night!"

The wealthy man took the medicine first, and then distributed it to others.

Lynn had a bad feeling.

Are they going to stay up all night?

That would be bad.

Violet pulled on Lynn's clothes.

Lynn looked back.

Violet whispered in Lynn's ear, "Let's get out of here. That's addictive magic powder. They won't be sleeping tonight. We can wait until next week."

Lynn hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head.

There are still so many things waiting for him to do.

The lives of his entire family depended on him.

How could he possibly waste his time?

It's just a bit of a risk.

Lynn immediately used the skill [Shadow Man].

His figure completely disappeared.

With the upgrade of the Shadow Scout, the duration of the Shadow Man has increased to six minutes.

That means he only has six minutes to prepare.

He needs to find the most suitable time during this period.

Then, kill everyone in an instant.
