Chapter 137 – Opening A Shop

*shiiik*

Calron withdrew back his claw and within seconds, the golden-scaled claw reverted back into his human arm.

Over the past few weeks, he had gotten much better at controlling his beast shape-shifting, and he was now able to semi-transform his body parts.

Roran let out an admiring whistle at the clean way in which Calron had killed the assassin. Even with the severed head on the floor, there was not a single drop of blood in sight. This was because Calron had imbued the essence of lightning into his claws and cauterized the wound while slicing through the assassin’s neck.

Calron knew that the man was coming to murder him because his Divine Perception had sent him a signal revealing the hidden killing intent of the assassin.

“Do you think that it was them?”

Roran asked in a low voice, his murderous intent seeping out from his body. He was no longer the same hesitant boy as before, and if someone threatened him, then he would no longer show any mercy.

Calron bent down on the floor and went through the assassin’s clothes. To even call this man an ‘assassin’ seemed like an insult to other assassins, as the intruder was very obvious with his movements and relied purely on his cultivation base to fight against Calron.

If he was a real trained assassin, then he would be able to stealthily kill someone many ranks above his own cultivation base. Therefore, Calron knew that this man was not a professional assassin, but more likely to be a normal cultivator or martial artist.

Calron did not find much on the dead man, besides a few silver coins and a vial of poison.

“At the very least, they were careful in not revealing their identity. He was most probably part of the knights that we encountered earlier, but we cannot be sure. It seems that we have already made a few unintentional enemies, Roran.”

Calron let out bitter smile while glancing at his brother, and slowly stood back up.

“Let them come, big brother! If they think they can kill us with this measly amount of force, then we will show them that we are not ones to be trifled with.”

Roran stated, as he pounded his fist against his chest.

“Haha, let’s clean this mess up and go downstairs to eat. It’s getting late.”

Calron chuckled at Roran’s proud declaration, and proceeded to burn the dead corpse with his lightning.

He knew that this was not a simple assassination attempt, and that there was something involved with the blonde-haired girl whom he had met before.

What is her identity?

Calron brooded over this within his mind, while finishing up burning the corpse and making sure that there were no scorch marks on the floor. He planned on getting one of the maids to clean up the ashes from the floor.

After making sure that nothing else seemed out of place, the two teens closed the door behind them and headed downstairs.

………………………

*knock knock*

The knocking sound on the door woke Calron up, rousing him up from his sleep.

“Come in, Tanny.”

Rubbing his groggy eyes, Calron slowly sat up on his bed and shouted for the young maid to enter.

“Kuh? How did you know?”

Tanny asked with a curious expression on her face as she slightly opened the door and peeked through it.

“Hahaha, what is it?”

Calron laughed while throwing the bed cover aside and standing up.

“Hehe, breakfast is almost about to end, and I didn’t see you guys come in the morning, so I thought I should remind you before everything runs out. Byee∼”

Tanny said with a cheerful smile, and ran downstairs.

“Ugh… I think we had too much to drink last night.” Calron groaned while massaging his head.

It was the first time that the two brothers had drank, and they didn’t know their capacity until they were already drunk.

“Oi, wake up!”

Calron nudged Roran’s body, trying to wake up the sleepy youth.
