Emperor of Steel - Chapter 277

Chapter 277

Perhaps the name Henry was one of the most common names in the Rhodesia continent .

Common names, common looks and the words that differed .

Henry had a mediocre appearance which could be forgotten as quickly as possible and was surprisingly great for an assassin .

That too, not an ordinary assassin .

He was the head of the assassin master of the assassination organization Hydra, created by the Baroque Imperial .

It was him who was the dangerous member of the Hydra and was admired by the members .

And as such, Henry had received a royal order awhile ago .

“Get rid of Luke de Rakan . Leave no trace of what he did, but make it look like a nobility . ”

Henry, who reached the land of Rakan, hovered around the target from far distances .

Sometimes disguised as a servant working in the manor, and sometimes as a merchant who had gone to trade with the Marquis of Rakan .

There was a reason why he couldn’t go straight to the assassin part .

‘Information gives us a chance to adapt and know through different eyes . ’

Henry had always taken his sweet time to observe the target before assassinating .

Even if running out of time, it always made sure to verify the target for a week .

He had to see and confirm with his own eyes, whether the information collected by the organization was indeed correct .

Some of the assassins believed in at sight and their abilities, such men failed their assassination mission or suffered much greater defeats .

Unlike those lowly men, Henry was able to carry on his success streak of never failing to perform his assassination tasks, all thanks to that care .

‘Most of the information is the same, but what is it with the behavior and tone?’

Henry had been spying on Luke for some time and caught something odd .

The marquis of Rakan had gained fame for being a Rune Knight .

His name began to come with the battle against Count Monarch, and had won the war with the Volga Republic during his military service, and was declared as a hero .

It wasn’t just that .

He had shown his ability as a Lord by placing the small manor to a huge title of marquis .

However, such a dangerous man, often used frivolous speech, not in the line of skill or fame .

For that reason, they were always looked upon by the retainers .

‘An exaggerated rumor, maybe? Or is he hiding his true face?’

That wasn’t marquis Rakan, and the retainers’ achievements were unknown .

However, he had to be careful of them .

It was a proverb that the hawks hide their claws till the end .

A man who was so great that he hides his true nature doesn’t show his skills in front of the other .

‘He will be much greater than what is known . So being careful isn’t bad . ’

The tiger which hides in the bushes to catch the rabbit was the best one .

How could an assassin right away kill a Rune Knight whom the Emperor seemed awfully wary about?

‘Don’t be over-cautious! As always, I am paying attention!’

Henry was determined .

The time when the moon wasn’t completely down, the dark filled dawn .

Henry crossed the manor’s fence with a stealthy cloak darker than the darkness .

There was magic detection everywhere, and the guard dogs, but none of them had noticed the intrusion of Henry as he was an Assassin Master .

It was as fast as the wind moved, and like a rock when stopped . Far from the sound of the foot, there was no sound of breath and no odor was coming out of the body .

But the stealth was surprising .

As he passed through the garden, Henry on a tree, saw the inside of the manor and he was completely aware of the wall’s furniture . He hadn’t seen a single knight passing by .

All of that was due to the artifact he had gotten from the ancient Mado Era, which was given to him by the Emperor .

The artifact, called Chameleon Brooch, gave a different level of power than any normal invisibility magic .

In addition, there was an ability which disabled the detection magic, and that doubled the ability of Henry’s to infiltrate the manor .

‘Lord’s bedroom is in the middle of the third floor of the manor . There are two escorts standing at the entrance…’

Near the bedroom, Henry pulled a small box out of his arm .

When he opened the lid of the box, a small green moth fluttered towards the escorts standing at the entrance of the bedroom .

“Hwaaah . I feel sleepy all of a sudden . ”

“Yeah . I shouldn’t be falling asleep…”

The Moths were dusted in sleep powder .

Henry laughed at the men who fell asleep and entered the bedroom through the door .

‘As known to the world, Marquis Rakan, a Rune knight with 6 circle magic and is the best swordsman . Did he surpass a Sword Master with combat power?’

Considering that the man was hiding his skills, the Marquis was greater .

And Henry was alert, yet not afraid . Because he was an Assassin Master who can stop the Sword Master .

Srrrk!

Henry, as if slipping on an icy road, approached the bed and pulled out the long slender needle from his hand .

When the needle, which was made from grinding a purely high-quality diamond, stabbed in the chest, the target would die of a heart attack .

In other words, it could be disguised as a natural cause of death with no traces left behind .

Henry carefully raised the needle and lifted his head after checking the posture of the sleeping figure .

But right then to his dismay, a voice came from behind his back .
