Chapter 166 - Mark Button's Assassination
Assassin Ed arrived at Star Line City's train station a few days later. Then he reaches the middle of the city. "It's a magnificent city with a much lower population than other cities. As expected, the city exudes a luxurious aura." He thought to himself.
Observing the people's clothing, it's difficult to tell if this is normal civilian attire. He recognised his target's family business as being in the clothing industry. Many more small and medium-sized businesses are profitable in this area. He shook his head and decided to stay in the lodge.
First, he must locate Mark Button's current location. He gathered up-to-date information about the button family from his men.
Mark, the youngster, may be on his way to his home in this city. According to information, there is some internal strife within their family. He was able to recall the information in his mind. He couldn't tell because of the kill list.
Even in major underground organisations, kill lists are not widely known. Even their higher-ups have access to this information after scrutiny.
"Because Intel isn't enough." It's best if you go to his house." Assassin Ed muttered something under his breath. Getting these thoughts out of his head. He then goes on to find a nearby lodge. He must first disguise himself, and then change into another disguise. Otherwise, these security cameras may detect the problem.
After a few minutes, Assassin Ed found a decent lodge that did not raise any suspicions. The majority of the lodges in this area will be booked by repeat customers.
Outsiders rarely came, and if they did, they had to register their identity. Assassin Ed, on the other hand, was unconcerned. It doesn't get any more difficult when it comes to tier-8 cities. He can take advantage of some loopholes. He successfully reserved a room for a few days after carefully analysing the lodge. He intends to move to Mark Button's house at night.

At a distance, there is a restricted forest zone.
A young man with a bad temper viciously beating down a lone adventurer. He simply retrieves his monster core after knocking out the person. He couldn't help but sneer internally as this solo adventure had an idea about his monster core. After taking a quick sidelong glance at the body. He turned around and walked away. The solo adventurer's condition is unknown.
This restricted forest zone is an excellent location for hunting and gaining combat experience by fighting monsters. When this lone adventurer attempted to attack the wounded class 2 Monster and then robbed his monster core, a fight erupted. His scalp nearly exploded with rage as he witnessed the event. The hot-tempered young man then taught that lone adventurer a harsh lesson.
This class 2 Monster was previously wounded by a hot-tempered young man. He is, in fact, Mark Button. Mark button intends to pay a brief visit to this restricted forest zone after leaving Saw Scale Academy. He is currently at the Trainee Apprentice Warrior Peak level.
It's been six months and there has been no breakthrough. It is normal for a warrior to have a five to six month breakthrough period.
However, it is only for the most rudimentary warriors. They are almost thought to be average. He would not be placed in the same category as them if it weren't for his dual element.
He is a dual element user in his eyes. To make a breakthrough, he requires resources from both elements. That's why he takes advantage of every opportunity. In this monster zone, he tried his luck. Following the collection of the core. He exited the restricted zone and returned to his home in Star Line City.

After a few days of staring at the button's residence. Assassin Ed had a good idea about the domestic strife in that household. It's a deliberate financial breakdown caused by competing industries. In his room, he was thinking about it. "It's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?" He thought to himself.
Previously, people were afraid to take action against the Button family because of his son's identity. They are now causing havoc without regard for Saw Scale Viper Academy.
If there was something exposed, he knitted his brows. Then he wants to get to the bottom of things. This could be a problem for his client. He believed he sent an encrypted message to his subordinates and client organisation to gather information about this issue. He sighed as he sorted things out. His sci-fi wrist watch suddenly buzzes with a notification. When he looks at this, a glint flashes in his eyes.
He smirked as he read the message, "Looks like that Mark button is back." It's time to get rid of him." Assassin Ed arrives at Mark Button's house a few minutes later.
A long courtyard with a medium-sized castle structure. Ed, the assassin, was secretly disguised. He left no trace of himself.
Assassin Ed frowns as he observes the residence with small movements. But his expression soon returns to indifference. He enters the house quickly in search of Mark Button's Room.
He was startled to hear footsteps from upstairs. When Assassin Ed hears this, he quickly hides behind the door, concealing his breath. He used his awareness to observe his surroundings. He eventually tracked down the person responsible for the footsteps. He sneered inside after confirming that. "Poor brat, he'll die today," he thought to himself.
He follows the Mark Button through his consciousness after looking at the back of him.
" This brat went downstairs to get some water. He is now returning to his room upstairs. " He made a mental remark.
Then he discovered his room upstairs. He was unconcerned about silencing others. Because his reward money is contingent on a single kill. He didn't want to squander his efforts or his time. After Mark pressed the button, he entered his room. Seeing this, I proceed upstairs while holding my breath. To open the door, he tinkered with the lock.
I observed the brat after carefully withdrawing my consciousness. However, his actions made my job much easier. "This fuck"ng brat is currently engaged in V.R simulation." In his heart, he laughed. V.R helmet is worn by Mark Button. He is currently oblivious to his surroundings. He probably thought that by locking his door, no one would bother him. But he couldn't have predicted that he'd make it easy for his assassin.
Ed, the assassin, made his move. He swallowed an antidote for gleaming multicoloured pill. He put the pill in his palm as soon as he did. The fragrance of the pill began to permeate his room. Ed didn't mind because he had taken antidote assassin.
Mark Button, on the other hand, smells fragrant, but he can't figure out what it is. As a result of his feelings, he fell asleep. Assassin Ed took advantage of the situation and placed his body in the bed.
Then he stuffed the multicolor into Mark button's mouth. Assassin Ed then used his energy to guide the pill to his stomach. The pill melted completely a few minutes later, and the energies gathered inside his heart.
The operation was observed by Assassin Ed. As the energy gathered inside his heart, it instantly stopped his heart. Mark Button had gone unconscious as a result of the pill, and he couldn't even feel his heartbeat.
When Assassin Ed saw Vicious, a smile appeared on his face. Then, as soon as he finished the mission, he returned to the location. Mark Button, who was wearing a V.R helmet, died a few minutes later.
Then half an hour ater, the accumulated energy within his heart dissipated. Few household servants and maids are aware of it. Even the Mark family's butler, who came to Mark's room to call for dinner, failed to notice the difference. He mistook young master Mark occupied in an V.R simulation player.
He went downstairs, shaking his head.
After finishing the mission, the assassin travelled to the next city for his mission. Six hours later, a massive storm swept through the city. The news of the death of Young Master of the Button Family sent shockwaves through the community.
The most shocking aspect of his death is that it was declared natural. There are no anomalies in his body. There is no poison or injury to his consciousness, in particular.
Many news outlets blamed it on V.R Helmet. They suspect that the product is faulty and lead to damaging the brains.
On the other hand, Mark Button's father, Olle Button, examined the death report. There is a nagging feeling in the bus's heart. Something had gone wrong; how could his otherwise healthy son have died of a heart attack? He went through all of his house's security cameras.
With the permission of the citylord, I even gained access to Starline City's security camera. His mind has gone numb. Because of this news, his wife became bedridden. As a result, he went in search of the clues on his own. But so far, there has only been a dead end. "Perhaps it is natural death." "I'm just not convinced." He thought to himself.
Assassin Ed read the news report the next day. When he realised the effect of the pill, he couldn't help but smile. Nobody had any suspicions. This method of killing is part of one's personal arsenal.. Most of the time, he completed his mission without spilling any blood.
