In the darkness, the Shadow Fiend hovered in front of a big bed.
A fat man was sleeping on the bed. The man looked to be in his thirties, his face was greasy, and he snored loudly while sleeping.
"This is the target?" Vladimir looked at the other person indifferently, thinking to himself, "Celestial Dragon, although there's no grievance between us, I'm really sorry. The way of heaven is a cycle. I'm just acting on behalf of heaven?"
Thinking like this, Vladimir slightly raised his right hand, and endless black smoke condensed, and a sharp blade appeared in an instant.
As if sensing the danger, the Celestial Dragon on the bed unconsciously scratched his face, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly, completely unaware that in the darkness, a pair of eyes with murderous intent were looking down at him from above.
Without hesitation, Vladimir struck.
It was his first time killing someone, and he had no experience. He could only rely on his limited knowledge of the human body and take vital attacks.
The heart!
Puff!
The pitch-black Shadow Blade pierced in, penetrated the luxurious bedding, then pierced the skin, and finally pierced the heart.
Suddenly, the Celestial Dragon on the bed widened his eyes. He raised his hand to touch the painful area, but his heart was pierced, making him weak all over.
His open eyes could only see a piece of darkness, and in the darkness, those terrifying eyes.
"I'm really sorry for making you feel the pain before death."
Vladimir spoke softly, and suddenly pulled out the Shadow Blade. The next moment, the sword light flashed, and the blade pierced through the throat.
After struggling for only five or six seconds, the man on the bed died with his eyes wide open.
He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound. Until his death, he couldn't believe that in the absolutely safe Holy Land, he, as a Celestial Dragon of the World Nobles, would be assassinated!
"Hoo..."
Breathing out lightly, Vladimir confirmed that the target was dead, and then pulled out the Shadow Blade.
After a moment of silence, he used the blood-stained tip of the sword to write words on the wall.
Killer: "Phantom Pirates" Shadow Fiend!
At the end, he also left a skull.
"This can be considered completing the task," Vladimir nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the corpse on the bed, "This is just the first one. I hope the next buyer finds me quickly..."
With a low laugh, the next moment, Vladimir's body began to turn into smoke and dissipate.
...
Vladimir returned to Amazon Lily Island. At this moment, it was the time when the sun was rising over the sea.
"Today will be a beautiful day. After all, I have cleared a tumor for the world."
Yawning, Vladimir found a big tree, sat down leaning against the trunk, looked at the bright light of the sunrise, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
He killed someone and went to sleep, it could be said that he was relaxed.
However, the World Government was shaken violently because of his actions, no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The person who discovered Nerudic's body was a maid in the house. When she was preparing to serve her master to get out of bed in the morning, she saw a cold corpse. The blood had stained the bedding red, and the blood-red words on the wall were even more frightening.
The maid screamed and fainted on the spot.
After that, the incident completely exploded, and everyone in the mansion knew that the Celestial Dragon master had been assassinated, and everyone became extremely panicked.
Not to mention being killed, even if a Celestial Dragon was bumped into by an ordinary person, it would be a big deal.
What's more, the murderer had quietly killed a World Noble in the World Government's base camp, which was almost the same as declaring war.
Soon, the incident was passed on layer by layer and entered the ears of the World Government's high-level officials.
"Who did it?"
In a magnificent office, five old men were sitting around a round table. One of them, who was holding a knife, couldn't help but speak first, "This is the Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
"The murderer left his name on the wall," a square-faced old man snorted, "This is blatant provocation!"
"Phantom Pirates? I've never heard of them. They have the ability to sneak into the Holy Land silently. Could it be someone from the Four Emperors?"
"Shadow Fiend? There's no such person under the Four Emperors."
"Rather than this, let's seal off the entire Holy Land first. We can't let the murderer escape. Otherwise, where will the World Government's face go?"
The five old men each said a sentence, and their words were all high and mighty.
These five people were the pillars of the World Government, the highest authority "Five Elders." Each of their identities and positions was above Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
"There has never been a Celestial Dragon assassinated in the past. This matter is not easy to handle."
"Let's block the news first, otherwise it will cause chaos in the Holy Land, and all the other Celestial Dragon nobles will be in danger."
"It's too late. The whole Holy Land already knows about this. It's a mess outside now."
"Damn it, it seems we can only hand the murderer over to the Navy to deal with."
"Let the intelligence department CP0 investigate the Phantom Pirates. Let's stabilize the situation in the Holy Land first."
The five men discussed for a while and quickly made a decision.
"Someone, take the Den Den Mushi and contact the Navy Headquarters!"
When Sengoku, who was far away in Marineford, received the call from the Five Elders, he was terrified.
He never expected that there would be such a bold person in the world who dared to commit murder in the so-called absolutely safe Holy Land Mary Geoise, and even kill a Celestial Dragon.
"This is simply a joke!!"
Bang!
When he hung up the phone, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was so angry that he smashed the new table with one palm.
"Someone! Go summon the Three Admirals!"
The Marine waiting outside was startled and quickly went to notify the Navy Three Admirals. Before long, three men wearing coats of justice came to the Fleet Admiral's office.
Not only that, but a Vice Admiral who was munching on rice crackers also came in with them.
"Sengoku, you're so angry early in the morning. Do you want some rice crackers?"
The Vice Admiral was in his fifties and smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
