The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 276: The Thick Scent Of Blood In The New Year Celebration



Chapter 276: The Thick Scent Of Blood In The New Year Celebration

"Follow the task I have given."

While the lighted firecrackers resounded out all over the places, a slender figure with a clouded temperament has softly ordered the people standing before him, which was all dress in black clothes with only a pair of eyes barely being shown from the hard mask they are wearing in their faces.

And anyone could easily guess that the group of people was an assassin with the way they dress up along with the cold and murderous atmosphere around them.

"Yes."

Shortly after the order was given, the person standing in the front among the group of the assassin has nodded his head and has left with the other people quietly following behind him before everyone has split up to arrive at their own destination.

The whole time, the entire residence was eerily quiet, which was entirely different from what is happening outside as the firecrackers continue to resound out with almost everyone completely immerse in celebrating the arrival of New Year.

And shortly, a young servant that has been silently standing a few distances away and has witnessed the entire exchange couldn't help but finally speak in uncertainty and fear for what is about to happen.

"Young Master won't you regret it? They are still your family it's not too late to st-.."

"Regret? I genuinely feel saddened by committing an unforgivable sin but it's far too late for me to stop. Besides, everything is happening because they have pushed me in this situation."

The slender figure quietly standing in the courtyard has silently cut off the young servant's words without showing any anger about being questioned about his actions.

While at the same time, the young man's eyes have firmly displayed a resolute decision while gazing in the direction of the main residence where it has been eerie silent when it supposed to be noisy because of the New Year Celebration.

"When I was locked up in that dark room, I understood how helpless, incompetent and useless my existence is while I also completely realized how it doesn't matter what I want and feel in the name of the family interest and benefits."

I can no longer turn blind and ignorant from everything after comprehending that my genuine emotion, opinion, and need don't matter in my family.

"To be able to do whatever I want, to be able to protect the people I cared about and for me to be no longer be trampled with, I needed power, authority, and influence in my own hands."

My own family would get in the way and might even go so far as to either take me out or send me in an exchange for the benefit and interest in the family.

After all, I have seen it happened before but have always remained completely ignorant about the fact that it could also occur to me.

"Young Master has changed... "

"Is that so?"

The young man has shown a helpless smile on his face, nonetheless, he didn't deny the young servant's words because he knows that something has changed within him on that fateful day.

"For the sake of all the years of you faithfully staying by my side, you can leave and start a new life far away instead of remaining in this complex, chaotic and disgusting place."

In the past, he sees the common people as insignificant existence that can easily be ignored and trampled with while absolutely feeling proud about being born in a noble family, and yet, after everything that has happened, he can only feel endless envy in such a far simpler life.

At least, it was a far better life rather than the aristocrat family where the scheming is deep and sickening, which is usually being covered by the brilliant appearance of power, wealth, and authority.

"Young Master, my commitment to stay by your side wouldn't change no matter what kind of person you have become. In the past, in the present, and in the future, my life has always been yours."

The slender figures of the young man couldn't help but shake while the tight grip hidden in his long sleeves couldn't help but tremble, after all, being resolute or not, he was already prepared to be left alone after the ruthless and cruel decision he has planned to do.

Because no matter what the reason is, it doesn't change the fact that he has decided to kill his family.

"... is that so if you are determined then stay and continue to do the task I have for you."

"Yes, Young Master."

After a few minutes of the young servant leaving in a certain direction, a person carrying a scroll and a bag of money has quietly left the silent residence where the thick scents of blood have already started to drift in the entire place.

Which was so strong that the slender figure standing in the courtyard couldn't help but finally move and walked toward the main hall where the center of the New Year party has been chosen to celebrate.

"... w-what..."

The young man couldn't help but falter in his footstep after seeing the dead bodies of all the servants and guards bleeding in the ground with either having their heart pierce or neck sliced.

Although he planned a cleanup tonight in order to take total control of his family but it wasn't to the point that he wanted everyone to die, especially when he has given everyone a powerful drug to make them completely unconscious.

While the young man's heart beating extremely fast and his throat becoming completely dry from overwhelming tension and anxiety, particularly when he continues to bypassed countless dead bodies around.

He finally arrives at the slightly open door of the main hall with an extremely anxious and uneasy look on his face, and even though he wanted to turn back but he knows that he couldn't run away after everything that happened.

"W-Wha no this isn't what I p-payed you for!"

In the huge main hall laid countless death of the important people of the family that have been silently put in a deep sleep but instead has been killed off.

While in the center of the room is the three-figure tied up in a tight chain rope while having their mouth covered, which is completely conscious.

"You... what are you doing???"

Even though he planned to kill his family off, but he wanted to give them a painless death without letting them know about what is happening.

So, why are they awake??? What the hell is happening!?

"Young Master Jia, we have definitely taken the order to clean up the entire Ma Family."

Ma Jia, the youngest son of the head of the Ma family couldn't help but take a step back with his legs shaking before finally falling down to the ground after meeting the angry and hatred-filled eyes of his family looking in his direction.

"Young Master Jia, we specifically left them for you to deal with."

Although he planned to forcefully take the power of the Ma Family by removing his father, brother, and sister along with cleaning up some of the people he couldn't control and would go against him but why is everything completely different from what he has planned?

Since he doesn't have powerful loyal subordinates to fulfill his decision, all he could do is to pay other people to do it.

It was the entire reason why he has secretly gone to one of the assassin organizations secretly residing in the Chang Capital, of course, while making sure that it was one of the trusted groups that would do the task as long as they are paid with.

He even went so far as to buy one of the excellent medicine to put everything to sleep while removing the use of their internal energies.

Jia even has the perfect day to completely make his move.

Every important figure in the Ma Family has attended the celebration, which would have definitely helped remove the people he wouldn't use in the family.

However, when he shakily gaze at his conscious family while everyone else was dead, he understood how naive and simple he has been thinking about the entire situation.

... ah... I'm still being incompetent... nothing has changed...

"I applaud for your decisiveness to take actions... but you are far inexperienced and restless to get what you wanted. It was far better to be patient and take your time to thoroughly make a plan."

Suddenly, a bland voice has resounded out causing Jia to shakily turned his head in the direction where the sound has come from and saw the arrival of four figures wearing cloaks and face mask entering the open door of the main hall.

"Master, we have fulfilled the task you have given us."

The group of the assassin has respectfully kneeled down while having a dreadful look along with reverence appearing in their eyes as soon as their head has humbly lowered down.

After all, every single one of them still remembers the day that the Master they haven't been unable to meet has suddenly appeared and shown a great interest when the Young Master of Jia has secretly issued an assassination mission with an astonishing amount of money being paid.

"Leave."

"Yes, Master."
