A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

In the Azrael Chamber of Commerce, the atmosphere on this day was unusually heavy.

It is said that the elderly president finally passed away last night, surrounded by his family.

But after all, he died of old age, so there wasn't much of a fuss.

But it's a bit too quiet...

The successor president was the young man who was seen pushing the old man half a year ago. He was said to be the young master of the family and the grandson of the old man.

According to Carrie, apart from the guests who came to pay their respects, all the businessmen from various countries who were usually seen doing business are now nowhere to be seen.

"That old man seems to be a nice person. So many people come to visit him..."

"Carriv, don't talk about this. You'll be scolded if someone hears you..."

"What are you afraid of? I didn't say anything bad."

"Carriv, Wu Yue, what are you mumbling about? Come and help."

The head maid's slightly stern voice startled the two of us, so we quickly shut up and went over to help.

"These boxes contain decorations for tomorrow's banquet. You two will be responsible for one box. East Banquet Hall. Remember that?"

"Yes, head maid." We both bowed respectfully.

"Well, it's okay this time, go ahead."

......

"Ms. Wu Yue, as you can see... this is the timeline six months later."

Mr. Maxim's voice sounded slightly tired.

"Are you okay? You sound very tired."

"It's okay. It's easy to let time pass, but it's a bit difficult to stop it again."

"By the way, Mr. Maxim, what has happened in the past six months? Is there anything I need to know?"

"Well... congratulations. The past six months have been peaceful and uneventful. You and Miss Carrives no longer have to stay in the backyard, but can officially serve in the Chamber of Commerce."

In other words...has he become a regular employee?

"But...as a result, you two hardly ever meet Miss Lalanoya again."

Yes, without the condition of being in an empty backyard, it would be impossible to slack off, and meeting Lalanoya would become more difficult.

"Oh, there's one more thing. I just heard from Carriv that the old president passed away. Is that true?"

"Well... the truth is not what you heard."

"The old president just took the opportunity of his death to retreat behind the scenes...but only a few people who were present at the time knew about this, and I just happened to hear it..."

"It means... not only has the Chamber of Commerce's president changed, but also the leader of 'Nether Fire'..."

"Exactly."

This can also explain what happened in Moore City later. The Netherfire leader who had an ambiguous attitude and finally escaped unscathed was the young man.

"Having said that, in my opinion, something big is going to happen here soon..."

"How do you say this?"

"From what I saw last night, the situation is very unfavorable to the young heir. Among the people entrusted with the care of the orphan, there are obviously some guys with ulterior motives. It will most likely turn into a well-received power struggle within the family..." Mr. Maxim sneered, as if he was used to it.

"really?"

This made me unsure whether the person who brought people into Moore City was the person I had met before...

After all, I have never seen the leader of the Netherfire face to face. I just saw his figure that night with the help of "Eagle Vision", but he was wearing a black robe and I couldn't see anything.

"Just wait and see, Miss Wu Yue. No one wants to sit and wait for death."

......

"Wu Yue, hand me that colorful knot."

"this one?"

"Yes, that's it, throw it hard! Hey!"

"My two young ladies, please handle it with care. If you break it, you won't be able to find a replacement for a while~"

The sudden sound coming from the door of the banquet hall startled both of us.

"......Little Lord."

After seeing who was coming, Carrie quickly climbed down the ladder, stood with "me", and saluted the man.

"It's time to call him 'Master'."

"Yes, Master."

"Well, I haven't seen you two much before. Where do you work?"

"In the backyard, responsible for washing dishes, master..." Carrie was already able to converse fluently with these bigwigs like a real maid.

Although I still have some....outspokenness in private...

"The backyard..." the young man thought.

"Let's get on with it. A more beautiful decoration will help us better entertain our guests, right? That's it..."

After saying that, the man left.

"Wu Yue, this new master is so humble... It's easy to make mistakes without realizing it..." Carrie whispered to "me".

Indeed, it doesn't look like someone in power at all...

But I dare not speculate rashly. After all, you cannot judge a person by his appearance. What if this new successor is unusually cunning?

......

That night.

"Moonless."

I was about to ask Mr. Maxim to skip the sleep phase tonight, but was stopped by Carrives.

"Let's go to the backyard," said Carrives.

"too late......"

"Let's go see Lala."

"......All right......"

Just like that, "I" and Carrie and I sneaked to the backyard which we had not been to for a long time.

"call--"

Carriv exhaled a breath of white air and rubbed her hands.

"I remember leaving her a secret code...why hasn't she come yet?"

After a while, "I" heard footsteps coming from a distance.

"Here it comes. I heard it."

"Huh? Why didn't I hear it? Forget it... let's hide and scare her then, hehe..." Carrives decided to punish those who were late by playing a prank.

"It's not necessary... What if Lala gets scared and cries..."

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing."

"I" couldn't argue with her, so I had to follow Carrives and hide behind the flower bed where the three of them often sat together.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Unlike the inexperienced "me" in the dream, I now felt that something was wrong when I listened to the footsteps.

That's not the sound a little girl could make...

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a masked man walked out from the passage that Lalanoya often entered and exited.

He was carrying a little girl on his shoulders!

Although Carrives had poor hearing, the moment she saw the man, she immediately held her breath with one hand and put the other hand on my shoulder.

Quiet!
