Extra details of the mission present in the attachment below.

Regards,

Assassin Division, Scelestus.

"Oh nice." Lith said as he read the last line of the message. The organization did maintain formality, despite it having no need to do so.

Lith went through the attachment and as he browsed through the people on the list, he felt that he had heard about this surname somewhere. He tried to recall who and where it was and after a few seconds, he gave up thinking as he wasn't able to recall it.

"So they have a conflict with the employer and it's because they both have a history together. Alright, doesn't seem too complicated as to why the employer is hiring assassins. But, the next question is is the employer a good person or is it the target? I can't just kill innocent people now, can I?"

Lith paused after he said that. He thought deeply about what he just said and after a few seconds, he sighed and said to himself,

"What innocent? What righteous? Why am I having such sense of justice type thoughts like some 3rd rate protagonist? I am a vampire now, not a human. There's nothing right or wrong, just benefits. Benefits are what matters in the end."

"So from now, I'll do what benefits me, my family, my partners, and my friends the most. No matter how immoral it may be, if the benefits outweigh the morals, I'll do it. But of course, there are always some exceptions to this statement. But I'll see about that in future."

Lith, after finishing speaking to himself, got up and went to the washroom to freshen up. He left the hotel room after he got dressed up and walked to a nearby bakery to grab some breakfast to have on the way to the mission.

He got himself a croissant, an energy bar, and an iced coffee and teleported to the mission site.

..

Redstone City, Uklov.

Lith teleported out in an alley in Redstone City of Uklov country. This city was known for the different types of red coloured stones it offered. There were many mines present nearby the city and this city was the largest exporter of the world for exporting Roldium.

Roldium was a deep red colored ore that was very dextrous but at the same time very malleable, making it one of the best material for refining weapons and other artifacts.

But Lith was not here for Roldium or for the mines, he was here on a mission to assasinate the Senzal and Kenzal clan members.

The two clans were located in this city and were established many years ago. They had a lot of influence in this city and also owned a lot of land as well as mines.

The two clans were rivals but both these had a common enemy and that was the Shadow River Sect present just opposite to the two clans, attached to a black river that sprouts from the ground and also enters back into the ground after a few hundred meters.

The Shadow River Sect was attached to this river and it was also the foundation of the sect. Once it dries up or moves away, many will lose motivation and suffer cultivation deviation, becoming irrational monsters at the end and would need to get killed.

But that was also what made it so strong and mighty. This sect alone caused great troubles to the two clans and it was due to this sect that the rivals ceased fire and arrived at a truce to defeat a common enemy first.

This was the first time they had worked together for something and also the first time fighting against some power. Before they were local snakes and had no competition but now there was a competitor and their interests were threatened greatly.

They thus came together to defeat the sect but failed to do so and it was the sect that was over bearing and pushing the two clans to ruins.

But now things were calm and it had been a few hundred years since the last war broke out. But despite the calmness, the three parties absolutely hated each other.

It was for this reason that even if there was no war, there could be assassins and many hired such assassins immediately to kill the members of the other party.

The employer name was there in the mission and Lith's employer was the Shadow River Sect.

Lith was thus now a part of them and he would be going against the two other clans.

It was fine, he didn't mind it since he basically didn't care. He was only here for the benefits and what the clans and sects did with each other was none of his concerns.

Lith made his way towards the Senzal Clan first and stood a few kilometres away from the main gate of their palace.

The main gate was a large black metal door and there were walls surrounding the large palace.

Inside the gate, there was a botanical garden, a pond big enough to be called lake in terms of Earth's measure but only a shallow pond in terms of this world.

There were also a lot many things but Lith's first target was the nephew of the clan head of Senzal Clan and the nephew had the habit of strolling through the garden present and Lith was hear to see his pattern and behaviour before he could begin his assassination mission.

He sneaked past the wall with the help of an artifact that he got from Dennis in academy.

Dennis bought it so that he could become like those pervert anime protagonists and peep into the girls bathroom while being sneaky but soon dropped the idea when he realized that he was the heir of a Duke Clan.

Lith used it and reached inside and after coming so, used the dark element and turned himself one with the surrounding and camouflaged himself.

He then went to search for the nephew in a stealthy manner.
