BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 Assassination
"Well, seeing as we have free access thanks to Freja\'s security bypassing mark, we just walk right in?" Elysia was unsure if the mark would really work.
"We don\'t have much choice, I will use [Shadow walk] to get us in." Shaman grabbed Elysia and Clara\'s hand before activating [Shadow walk]. Wolfy jumped off the roof landing on the ground entering his own [Shadow walk].
They all slipped past the gate going past many statues of the target, each passing statue raising their urge to destroy. The girls opinion of their target was at an all time low and they were rather happy that they were killing this noble.
Guards wandered the premises all being half lions. When Shaman inspected them, she found they were stronger than the noble.
[Bob]
Race - Lion
Tier 7 - level 100
\'That\'s kinda sad, you would think in this kind of world, people with power would actually have some kind of fighting power.\' Shaman found it rather pitiful that the guards were a higher level than the noble.
They continued to go through the front garden, making sure they were not too obvious as seeing a moving shadow in the light is rather easy.
They made it to the front door, which had a lion\'s face for a handle, but since they were in a shadow they slipped under the door. Thankfully no alarms went off and they assumed that the mark must be working.
Inside the mansion everything was decorated in orange and gold which was not pleasing to look at. On one side of the hall there was a set of stairs going up with a doorway underneath. To the right were some rooms and a half-cat maid could be seen walking out of them.
Since Clara and Elysia had no control on where they went, Shaman had to make the decision on where to go.
\'There is probably a door with his face on it.\' Shaman guessed by how his face was everywhere, his room most likely had some gold version of his face on the door.
Moving up the stairs Shaman was instantly met with a door that had a golden version of the target\'s face.
\'You can\'t be serious.\' Shaman was utterly unimpressed as the target\'s ego must extend further than Freja\'s libido.
Elysia and Clara who were watching as well, were also pondering how far gone the target was.
Wolfy who followed behind them was rather disturbed by the constant imagery of the target.
While hiding in a shadow out in front of the door, a cat maid rushed out half naked screaming.
"Oh come on don\'t be scared~" A male\'s voice came from the room.
The cat maid kept running with clothes in hand.
The girls were now at their tipping point for how much they can bear the half lion. Even Elysia who only cared for Shaman was rather aggravated by what she just saw.
"What a shame." The half lion shook his head while putting on some clothes.
Shaman moved into the bedroom with haste and went into a dark corner of the room.
Wolfy stayed outside the room to keep watch and let Shaman know if anyone came near.
The bedroom itself was once again furnished in the red and gold theme, but this time there were paintings of the lion all over the walls. This made the girls want to throw up as everytime they thought it couldn\'t get worse, it did.
The half lion turned as he thought he saw something move across the ground but found nothing out of the ordinary. He found it suspicious but did not think much of it.
However, soon after he saw it a second time and this time he took it more seriously.
"Who goes there, you face the great Maximus Maxor jr the second!!!" The half lion yelled out his name to whatever being was in his room.
"Who names their child that?" Shaman appeared behind the half-lion confused as she wasn\'t even sure which part of it was his name.
"Wha- who are you!" The half lion turned around to find a fox girl in a fully cloth body suit.
"Me? You could say I provide the end of the road services." Shaman wanted to toy with him but it ended up back firing.
"Services? What kind of services?" The half lion licked his lips and Shaman looked at him with disgust.
"Go to hell!" Shaman pulled out Kotetsu and stabbed the man in the heart.
Elysia and Clara had also come out of the shadow behind the half lion stabbing him in the back.
"Garrghhhhh!" The lion gritted his teeth as blood poured out of his mouth.
Unable to speak from the amount of blood that filled his mouth, he slowly died trying to get his last words out.
The half lion\'s body finally went limp and the girls pulled away their weapons.
"Thankfully he is dead, what an awful name as well." Elysia looked at the dead half lion on the floor in disgust.
"We should try to steal his money as well while we are here." Clara thought back to the door under the stairs which possibly led to the basement.
"Good idea, let\'s steal this man\'s fortune and move on to the next target." Shaman liked the idea of no longer having money troubles as stealing directly from a noble\'s personal vault surely had enough to last them forever.
Wolfy came into the room quickly popping out of the shadows.
"We have to leave!" Wolfy quickly jumped into [Shadow walk] after delivering his message.
Shaman quickly grabbed a hold of Elysia and Clara pulling them into [Shadow walk]. They quickly hid themselves in the shadows and as they did, a group of guards rushed through the door. Each of the guards looked exactly the same making it impossible to tell who is who.
"Sir Maxor!" one of the guards ran to Maxor\'s dead body checking if he was dead.
"H-he is dead." The half lion guard spoke these words and a relieved look was seen on everyone.
"Finally! We are free from this bastard."
"If it wasn\'t for the high pay I wouldn\'t have even bothered taking the job."
"We should let the maids know, I\'m sure they will be happy to hear they are free from this filthy bastard."
Each of the guards spoke leaving the girls a little dumbfounded.
\'I guess nobody will be missing this Maxor guy.\' Shaman thought there would have been a sad emotional response not a happy one.
\'No matter, at least people are happy.\' Shaman knew some would be happy but she did not expect everyone to celebrate the noble\'s death.
"Quick, let\'s split his money before it gets taken away." One of the guards suggested taking the money and a smile appeared on all their faces. Without hesitating they all ran to the mansion\'s vault.
\'DAMNIT!\' The girls in unison mentally screamed as they wanted to take the money for themselves, but they couldn\'t take it away from the guards who sounded like they were struggling.
\'I guess we just have to rob the next noble.\' Mentally sighing in defeat, Shaman made her way to the window escaping the mansion unnoticed.

The girls and Wolfy emerged on the same roof from which they infiltrated the mansion when Shaman fell to the ground. Shaman was exhausted and needed a moment to regen her mana as moving 2 other people was quite taxing. Wolfy took this opportunity to sit down next to Shaman and use her back as a head rest.
"I really wanted that money." Shaman had already come to terms with it, but she still wanted to complain.
"Not much we can do plus they need it more than us. At least we have Freja who can probably buy us anything we want." Clara was keen on getting the money, but she also considered how Freja is a tier 10 and probably has a bigger fortune than the entire Freya forest combined.
"True, but Freja is scary." Elysia found Freja to be rather intimidating and would rather not ask her.
"We could always ask Kiruya, She seems to act like her secretary." Shaman saw Kiruya as the person to talk to about anything Freja related, so Shaman figured they could ask her.
"She is definitely a lot more approachable." Clara agreed with Elysia that Freja was rather intimidating and that Kiruya sounds much better to ask for things.
"Anyway, we should figure out where our next target is." Shaman was still laying on the floor, but knew they really shouldn\'t be wasting any time.
"Oh yes, well the next target is just a street over and this time we are dealing with a half insect." Clara looked at the target list reading out their next target info.
"A prey mantis who is also a tier 7 and is around level 60, his mansion is all green with dangerous plants outside the mansion and deadly traps on the inside." Clara read out the information and already saw this being harder.
"Well, let\'s hope we can just zoom past the traps with Shaman\'s shadow walk." Elysia was unsure if this would be just as easy or did they have to be more careful.
"We will just have to find out. At least killing him will be easy. It\'s a shame they are not higher in level, otherwise we could have gotten some levels." Shaman found that the lion gave a pitiful amount and that tier did not seem to factor in exp gain unlike the level.
"Just give me a few more minutes then we can head out." Shaman was not too worried for the next target since she could go solo if needed to.
\'Let\'s hope these aforementioned traps are not triggered by shadow walk like Elysia said.\'
