After bringing back the Krila Bird, the adults were truly astonished.
At their age, being able to hunt a Level 2 Danger Beast together was an extraordinary achievement.
After this hunt, Ibia and the other two became even more convinced by Esdeath.
Over the next few months, Esdeath often took them out hunting on her days off.
Under her leadership and command, they were always able to successfully locate and hunt Danger Beasts.
As time went on, this small group gradually came to revolve around Esdeath.
“Beep.
Congratulations to the host for completing the mission.
You have gained three subordinates and acquired the skill: Master-Servant Mark.
You can now check the loyalty of Ibia, Rune, and Safi towards the host.”
Esdeath clicked into the subordinates panel and discovered that the loyalty of all three towards her was 50, neither high nor low.
The system issued another mission: “As a villain, how can you not have your own team?
Become the leader of the young people in the tribe and make all the young tribesmen willing to follow you.
Completing the mission will reward you with the Leader Aura, which increases your subordinates’ combat power by ten percent when they are fighting alongside you.”
It is worth mentioning that over these three months, Esdeath had been taking the three of them to hunt Danger Beasts and animals everywhere.
Since she had hunted a large number of species, it brought her a massive amount of villain points, all of which were converted into attribute points.
Now, Esdeath’s strength, speed, and even her physique and spirit had reached a terrifying level.
She could now tear apart a Level 2 Danger Beast with her bare hands.
Her Wave Fist had also successfully broken through, allowing her to unleash a Triple Wave Fist.
With the Triple Wave Fist combined with an explosive burst of strength, she could even take down a Level 2 Danger Beast with a single punch.
It was precisely because they witnessed her strength growing stronger day by day that Ibia and the others were so devoted to Esdeath.
The Danger Beasts in the nearby territory had basically all been hunted, and killing more would no longer yield any villain points.
Esdeath lay on the grass, feeling that life lately had become a bit dull.
“Boss Esdeath, I know of a place with new Danger Beasts, but that area is the territory of the Chinubi Tribe.”
“Oh, I see.
We’ll talk about that later.”
After dismissing her surrounding subordinates, Esdeath remembered the mission to cut down a passerby that she hadn’t done yet.
She decided to take a stroll into town to see if there was anyone she disliked.
Esdeath had used the money earned from hunting these past few days to buy an exclusive white horse.
The white horse was very beautiful, and she liked it very much, riding it whenever she went out.
Esdeath rode her horse to Black Stone Town and decided to first visit the tavern she hadn’t been to in a long time.
Having not come for over three months, the people here seemed to have forgotten her.
But the bartender had not forgotten her.
“I’m not here to cause trouble.
Give me an order of grilled lamb chops, accompanied by a bottle of beer.”
“Oh, little girl, you really made a mess of our tavern last time.”
Esdeath said, “I didn’t smash those things.”
The bartender handed her the beer she ordered: “I hope you won’t cause any trouble this time.”
“Of course.”
Esdeath focused on dealing with the grilled lamb chops and beer.
The spices were added generously, and with the secret sauce, it didn’t take long for Esdeath to finish off an order of grilled lamb chops.
Esdeath now had a huge appetite; a plate of grilled lamb chops was just a snack to her.
Her height had also shot up during these days.
Now, not yet thirteen years old, Esdeath was already 1.65 meters tall.
Esdeath strolled around the town but didn’t see any passerby whose appearance annoyed her.
Esdeath felt she had a very good temper; why would she dislike someone for no reason?
This mission was just too difficult.
Just as Esdeath was thinking of heading back, the system popped up: “As a villain, how can you not do something shocking?
Do something big and let all the residents of the town know the host.
Upon completion of the mission, you will be rewarded with an exclusive weapon.”
Esdeath realized that the missions issued by the system were getting harder and harder.
Do something big—what could count as something big, and it had to spread so that all the residents of the town would know?
Rob a bank?
If she robbed it and got caught, she would be immediately wanted by the Public Security Bureau.
She would never be able to enter Black Stone Town openly again and would only be able to hang around outside the town.
Esdeath shook her head.
The bank was the most heavily guarded place in Black Stone Town, even more so than the mayor’s house…
That’s it, why not assassinate the mayor?
If she killed the mayor, all the residents of the town would surely know her.
Besides, the mayor’s family should be quite wealthy.
The mayor’s house was easy to find just by asking around; it was the largest household in town.
It was a detached villa with a field in front of the house and a pasture and stables behind it, looking very wealthy at a glance.
Esdeath circled around the house.
The farm servants at the entrance were working hard at farming, and a security guard with a gun and sword hanging from his waist was leaning near the gate smoking.
It wasn’t easy to make a move during the day, so Esdeath planned to wait until nightfall to sneak in.
So, Esdeath spent 1 keton at the only inn in town to rent a room and slept until late at night.
At 1:00 AM, Esdeath put on a black robe, tied up her hair, put on her hood, and, carrying her hunting knife, crept lightly to the outside of the mayor’s villa.
She didn’t enter through the front door but snuck to the back of the house.
She broke the window with her fist, and with a little force, the wooden window frame was snapped by her bare hands, revealing an opening she could crawl through.
After carefully entering, the house was pitch black.
Esdeath waited for a while, and after her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could quickly see the facilities and environment inside the house.
This was the living room.
As Esdeath passed through, she couldn’t resist rummaging through cabinets and drawers to look for valuables.
A silver earring, take it.
A platinum watch, take it.
There was nothing else on the first floor.
Just as Esdeath was about to go upstairs, footsteps and voices suddenly rang out.
“Who’s there?
Is that you, Audie?”
A man dressed as a servant walked over slowly from the porter’s lodge.
Esdeath was startled, worried about being discovered, and crouched down at the opening between the living room and the hallway.
As the manservant approached, Esdeath immediately grabbed his throat from behind.
The powerful force prevented the startled servant from making a sound.
Immediately after, a blade flashed, blood sprayed, and the body in her hands slowly stopped moving and fell.
Esdeath put his body down and headed straight for the second floor.
There were four rooms on the second floor.
Esdeath didn’t know where the mayor was, but none of the doors were locked, so she entered every door she saw and killed everyone she saw.
Some were stabbed to death in their beds while asleep, and others were still at their desks.
However, she didn’t let them make too much noise and quickly assassinated them.
These people were all ordinary folks; killing them was no different from crushing an ant.
Esdeath looted the boxes and cabinets on the second floor, finding a full three hundred ketons and a small box of jewelry.
Jewelry was hard currency; rubies, emeralds, sapphires, a platinum bracelet, and jade bangles were all packed into a bag.
She had struck it rich this time.
Esdeath looted the valuables and then left through the window she had originally broken.
