In the capital varmoth(capital of eastern dukedom), Halbert visits royal prison where the monica the wife of duke, concubines and their children are held.

Halbert says to the monica, you must have never thought you would be in this situation that too because of the person who was raised like a dog by you all.

Monica screams with anger,I knew....I knew that bastard will someday will do this to me that's why I tried to kill him but that idiot of my husband stopped me otherwise that monster would have died when he was 5 months old.

Halbert says, you must gone mad from the anger that's why you are spilling all these nonsense if not how would you even knew that Nathan gonna do this when he was only 5 months old.

Monica calms herself and says,well it's none your business how I knew. I have summoned you here because I had a proposal.

I have some information that might be useful for Nathan so if he wanted that information he must meet me in person and after he gets that I wanted the safety of me and my vernica family.

Halbert laughs and says, there may be a possibility for your safety but to ask for the safety of your family you are just a day late because now fire phantom is on his way to destroy your vernica family along with another family.

Monica goes into despair after hearing it and says,so that bastard Nathan wants destroy my family also.

"Wait wait wait how do you know that fire phantom is Nathan" asks Halbert with suspicion.

Monica says,it's simple I was one people who trained him to become fire phantom even though I don't want it.

At the estate of vernica family Nathan was ready to enter and destroy it, so he checks how many guards are there.

He observes there are more guards than what those 2 major families can afford to hire and some of the guards are 5th class mages and aura swordsmen.

Seeing this Nathan was shocked,he couldn't understand why these strong warriors are guarding these 2 familes because those 2 family patriarch are only 4th class mages.

He thinks that there may be two possibilities for this unusual occurance. Either some one strong is backing them or those 2 families have been concealing their strength.

After thinking all this, he comes outside the Vernica family and goes to his room and sleep. Next day morning after the breakfast he lays on the bed and closes his eyes to simulate hundreds of possibilities in his mind for morning to evening and in the evening he finds and prepares a mask of a vernica family member after killing him.

When night falls again he returns to vernica family estate after sealing his mana using a forbidden technique and also disguising him self as 32 year old person named victor whom he killed few hours ago.

Nathan thinks, before killing that guy I have tortured him to tell me what's happening in vernica family.

He told me a 7th class wind mage was residing there for some reason and that reason will be known in today's meeting.

So I have put him out of his misery after knowing basic details about his behaviour and his relations.

Before he could think about something else, a soldier told him that family patriarch invited him to the meeting.

With a smile on his face Nathan went to the meeting. There were all the strong nobles from those 2 families in that meeting.

That meeting was precided by 7th class wind mage and there 2 aura swordsmen of 6th class guarding him and all of them are behind masks.

Nathan thinks,so it is 237th possibility but I have countermeasure for this but before attacking I need to know who is this mage and what's his purpose.

The wind mage with a white mask on his face says you people might be thinking why I came here and why I have protected your families from those assassins.

"So he is the one responsible for annihilation of my shadow killers team" thinks Nathan calmly.

The wind mage says, I have already had a conversation with the heads of both families and they have agreed to help me.

Now I will tell you all why strong people like us needed the help of likes you. Because the thing we are searching for is only exist in this eastern dukedom.

Wind mage threatens all of them by saying you people don't have the permission to ask any questions. So just listen to my orders and find that thing then I assure safety of your family.

The things you people need to find is a black coloured seed to be specific it looks like a dried up round shaped seed.

Nathan thinks that, wait did came to a asylum by mistake.

Hearing those words from wind mage even his body guards turned their heads to the side with embarrassment.

Wind mage coughs lightly and says, I know it might sound ridiculous but you people need to find that seed with in a month. That seed might be in a cave or in valley or anywhere,the only clue to find it is it might be sealed in some ruins.

Vernica family patriarch says,at first I was tensed because that seed could be anywhere and it might be impossible to find but if that seed only exist in some secret ruins then we can find it because our family knows some unknown places that are yet to be descovered by the people of our empire.

Wind mage says,well that's good then you have only one month,if that seed is found by then I will personally guarantee your security but if you can't find it then I'll personally destroy this family because nobody should know about that seed except for us.

Everybody in that meeting were scared stiff after hearing those last words, so even though it is ridiculous they all wanted to find that seed at any cost expect for Nathan.

Nathan thinks, this is out my realm of possibilities. I thought I would use every weapon in my arsenal and kill all of these people including this wind mage and body guards but now things got complicated.

Because now, even I don't do anything in one month, there is high probability that these people will get killed by wind mage because finding that seed seems impossible because there are many unknown ruins and places in our dukedom and in every ruin, unknown dangers lurk.

So even if they found the correct ruin they all will be dead before finding the seed. Even if they found some seed it might not be the same seed wind mage was looking for.

I can say this because,since I became assassin in my early childhood I went to many dangerous places and ruins.

Once I was stuck in a weird ruin for a month and when I was there, even I have also eaten a weird seed which was similar to what wind mage said but it was so small like a sunflower seed and it was pure white and there was only a little bit of black exactly in the middle of that seed.

So there may be many seeds like this in different ruins and most seeds might be normal like the seed I have eaten because even after eating it, nothing happened to me.

Nathan was reminiscing about his past suddenly a magical Messenger bird directly flew through the wall and reached the hands of wind mage.

After reading the message from messenger bird wind mage laughs and says, I have a new update about that seed .

I said before, the seed was of black colour but I was wrong because only inside of the seed is black but out side will be either in white or golden in colour.

Hearing this, Nathan was shocked to the core and he thinks to himself, wait a minute does that mean the seed they have been searching this desperately was eaten by me like a snack.
