Chapter 91 The Executor
“What brings you here today, sir?”
“I need to register as an assassin.”
The receptionist nodded her head and typed a few things on the tablet screen in her hand. A servant came to the reception and looked at Liam and said
“This way please, sir.”
Liam was then guided to the registration place by the servant.
The Nine Roses hotel had 100 floors in every branch. The 40th to 50th floor belonged to Scelestus’s assassin branch. On these floors, the assassins could take on missions, get commissions, get paid or just rest and relax. These floors had many recreational and entertainment facilities such as bars and restaurants.
The interior of the hotel was very lavish and extravagant. The flooring was made through the most exquisite white stones, the ceiling was high and there were different types of gold and silver chandeliers attached at various intervals. The walls had fine and delicate paintings on them and the furniture were usually of darker colours with a beautiful luster on them.
The servant brought Liam to the 40th floor. The lobby of the 40th floor had many semi private tables around and there were also many comfortable sofas and chairs to sit and talk. The servant guided Liam to one of the semi private tables where a person who looked like a butler was sitting. The servant then excused himself and left.
Liam sat down and the butler like person asked for Liam’s membership card. He took the card and inserted it in his laptop and got Liam’s personal data from it. Liam was using a fake identity that he got from the Witches. The gold card was also based on this fake identity and so everything related to him that was being taken down into the database of Scelestus was fake.
The attendee didn’t bother to confirm it with Liam either as using a fake name and having a disguise was a common occurrence among assassins. After he was done, he looked at Liam and said
“What will be your alias?”
Liam thought for a bit and then said in his disguised deep voice
“The Executor.”
The attendee nodded and typed it down. He then said
“You are now an unclassified assassin. Unclassified assassins are the ones who have just joined and their resumes are blank. To class up from an unclassified, you need to first do a F class mission. After being a F class assassin or higher, you can take missions of below your class, your class or one class above yours.
You are not eligible for taking missions which are more than one class higher than yours at any given point. But there are exceptions and you can accept invitations of a higher class mission from someone else at your own risk.
Your private jobs can be of any class that you want, we only take five percent of the reward as our commission. But since you have a gold card, it’ll be two percent. The other general information have been emailed to you. Please have a look at it and if there’s still any queries, you can contact the reception of any branch of the Nine Roses hotel.”
Liam nodded his head and took his card back. He opened his phone and looked at the email sent. There was general information written on it and the access code for the assassin website of Scelestus.
Liam logged in to the assassin website and took up a random F class mission. He got up and left without saying anything else to the attendee present.

Royal Castle, Nightingale.
Lith was currently having breakfast. He was eating toast, sausages, eggs and bacon made from a tier 4 beast and a cup of tea on the side. Lilith and Lucy too were having breakfast along with him. They both were having the same thing as Lith. They didn’t need to eat food but to accompany Lith, they too started eating along with him.
Lilith looked at Lith and asked while cutting up a sausage
“There are still a few days left until the opening ceremony. What are you going to do until then?”
Lith gulped down the egg and after taking a sip of tea, he said with a smile
“Laze around with big sis and you. I’ll train a little and then spend time with you and big sis, mom. After the academy starts, I’ll get less time to do so.”
Lilith nodded her head and continued eating her food. Lucy like always, didn’t speak much but she was happy knowing that her little brother wanted to spend more time with them.
After having breakfast, Lith went to train with Lucy. After training he along with his mother and sister, went to the rooftop of the highest tower of the castle and watched a tv show together out in the open. Later, he slept while snuggling together with Lilith and Lucy.
This simple routine may seem boring but Lith enjoyed it. Spending time with family was never really boring and he knew that once the academy starts, he’ll be busy. So, everyday he trained and went to different places with his mother and sister to hangout or just stayed in the castle and watched anime or a tv show. It was also during this time that he toured his castle fully.
It was his first time exploring his own castle and he was amazed by how big it was and how majestic it looked not just from the outside but also the inside. After touring the whole castle, the courtyard became his favourite spot to have afternoon tea and snacks with his family. He also met many maids and butlers who worked solely for his clan and he was shocked when he got to know their level.
His family basically had a small army with them that could, if wanted to, flatten a big piece of an entire race. Though there were only two hundred people who were there, just from their level alone, it was enough to do such a thing.
Lith was able to meet all the two hundred servants as due to the Royal Banquet, they had all come back from their vacation. They were out only for three years and their vacation was cut short. They didn’t mind it as their sole purpose was to serve the Clan who raised them and thus, Lith was able to meet them. The servants were all happy while interacting with Lith just as much as Lith was happy interacting with them.
Though their status was different, they didn’t mind it and Lith too didn’t act cocky or arrogant in front of them or show them that he was the Vampire Prince. He didn’t need to. He wasn’t an arrogant young master from a xianxia world. He was infact happy while interacting with them as he got to understand that their subservient behaviour was natural and due to their own accord.
This meant, they were one hundred percent loyal to the clan and would never betray it. He found them trustworthy and them serving his mother for such a long time and her not being displeased by their service was another point that made him feel them being as such.

Days passed.
The opening ceremony was tomorrow, that is, the first day of the month of February. This would mark the official admission of the selected 10,000 candidates.
The selected students were all very excited to start their new term and Lenz City was packed once again with many families. Though they were not needed to be in Lenz City as the students would be teleported to the academy automatically, the families still came over and stayed, to say their final goodbyes to their children.
These students would not be able to meet with their families until next year’s month of January. In January, the academy hosted the entrance exam and all the students were given a holiday and sent back to their homes. There wasn’t any extra holiday given to them in between to go back home. They were given vacations, but weren’t allowed to leave the academy grounds unless permitted to do so.

Auckland City, Villmer.
Liam was called to his father’s study and he had no idea why that was the case. He nevertheless didn’t disobey and walked into the study. As soon as he entered, he saw his father, Graham Novius, doing some sort of paper work behind the desk.
Graham Novius looked at Liam and said
“Do you know why I have called you here?”
Liam shook his head.
Graham looked at him and said in a serious yet calm tone
“It is about your assassin identity, The Executor.”
