The Emissary Of The Night Shadow
Tragedy of the past.

When Rito and the assassin who were fighting each other attacks instantly fell silent for a moment after seeing a mysterious man who looked big. The man wore an iron mask with handcuffs that became bracelets on both his wrists.

Not to forget also with a weapon that looks like a machete is perched on his right shoulder. The man's right hand clasped tightly onto the handle of the machete which had a fairly large diameter considering its size and weapons that surpassed ordinary weapons.

"Who are you?" The Assassin spontaneously asked for the identity of the mysterious figure.

"Hahaha, that's so funny! You guys really don't know me? Joseph the crazy max?"

"W-what?! It can't be!" Rito looked up at the big tall man who stopped his fight.

Rito's face was sweaty and looked slightly pale after knowing the identity of the figure currently in front of him.

Naturally, Rito was surprised because the mysterious man was one of the most crazy and very feared criminals in the underworld.

Rumor has it that he killed both of his parents at the age of ten. Later that same year, he also killed the family that adopted him illegally.

As a result of his growing madness, five years later he massacred a village by committing mass murder and massive arson that made the village disappear instantly into a collection of ashes.

"Who would have thought that the guarding system in the residence of a noble could be this bad? At first I only intended to play around in this place after I escaped from that boring prison." Joseph yawned long while stomping the cleaver on his right shoulder.

"I should be grateful to be able to find such an interesting show. It's just that your conversation is really very disgusting. My ears would break when I heard it." Joseph turned to look at Rito with a cold and sharp gaze.

"Hey, you rancid boy! Have we met before?" Joseph watches Rito's goal. The man looked at Rito from the tip of his foot to the tip of his head. Rito gulped looking at it, quickly shaking his head.

"really? I feel like I'm no stranger to your face. What's yourname?"

"Why are you asking for my name?" Rito refuses outright to answer Joseph's suddenly curious question about his name.

"Maybe if I knew your name, then I could remember where we met." Joseph squinted his eyes, looking at Rito seriously.

Rito could only swallow. From his aura alone he already knew that Joseph was no match for him even if he and the assassin worked together.

There was no other choice for Rito than to answer his question, yet he would use a pseudonym just in case.

"My name is Andie, just Andie. I don't have a clan because I'm an orphan."

"Andie..the orphan.then why does your face remind me of someone."

"My mom and dad died somehow. By the time I got home their bodies were already split into pieces. Then I was taken care of by someone else and met two little angels that I considered my own family." Rito unknowingly tells a little about his background and past. Rito's words made Joseph's eyes widen.

"Ah.it also reminds me of an incident when I killed a couple who lived in a house that was quite luxurious and quite located. If it's not wrong they mention letting their son live, but I don't see his son anywhere." Joseph shook his head while clucking softly.

"I also still remember her red, clear eyes. That crazy woman pulled her own hair out of frustration." Joseph laughed at the end of the sentence. He again felt an incredible sensation when he imagined the murder he had committed several tens of years ago.

"Did you kill my parents?" Rito hardened his jaw. His hands clenched tightly while holding Gladius in one of them.

"Oh..Was that your parents? It's only fitting that I didn't find their son, that you were outside."

Rito who was ignited by the flames of anger thoughtlessly ran towards Joseph and immediately attacked with all his might but rito's attack could be canceled by Joseph with just a small wave of his machete, instantly Rito crashed as far as five meters.

The Assassin who saw that instantly shuddered and felt anxious after seeing the power of one of the most terrifying villains from the underworld.

"Hey boy! how about we work together to defeat that guy?" The assassin disappeared in the dark and appeared beside Rito to make a deal with Rito.

"Why don't you just run away? Can't you just take away your entire existence and escape from the darkness?" Rito asked with a gasping breath. He wiped away the sweat that was pouring into his face and body.

"If I could've done that since, unfortunately I can't lose a hundred percent of my existence. I tried to escape but his eyes glanced at me as I lost my presence and it gave me goosebumps." The assassin spoke with a pale face.

"What if you work with me?" The Assassin made the offer because he realized that there was a huge difference in ability between their individual strength and the power possessed by the big man in front of them.

Rito seemed to be thinking before accepting the offer. He did not know whether the assassin would use it as bait to escape or anything like that. The point is there is no guarantee that the assassin really wants to invite him to cooperate.

"All right let's work together." After considering a few things, Rito decided to pursue the match with the assassin.

"Hahaha, you stupid boy! When we've defeated that stupid mask, I'll kill you for payment because you killed my brother." The Assassin was humming slowly while smiling broadly at the thought of a crafty thing without Rito knowing.

Rito put up his horses and immediately darted towards Joseph followed by an assassin who also darted quickly to the back of Joseph's body. Rito and the assassin launched a simultaneous attack on the front and back of Joseph's body, hoping that the man would not be able to withstand two attacks coming from opposite directions.

Rito and the assassins, who had felt that his attack hit and injured Joseph's body, were shocked by the fact that denied it, because the attack that Rito launched can be easily detained and the attack of assassins can be held by Joseph by utilizing iron handcuffs on his arm.

"Hahaha, a good combination of attacks is a fucking sneak, but unfortunately it's still not enough to kill me." Joseph laughed while looking down at the two of them. He pushed back Rito and the assassin up to several steps.

Rito started to growl. Aside from the fact that the man in front of her was the mastermind behind the deaths of her parents, the fact that Rito was unable to defeat the man made her even more frustrated.

"It's getting boring, even this can't be called warming up. I'm tired of killing weaklings like you, you're lucky I'll leave without killing anyone." After saying that Joseph immediately turned around and left them.

"Huh, she just left?" Rito asked in astonishment. He tried to catch his breath which began to hunt. Rito dropped his body, rebuking just like that because of the fatigue from the endless fight he was going through.

Seeing the golden opportunity the assassin took the initiative to kill Rito right then and there, but before his dagger pierced through Rito's chest a needle shot right at the neck and killed the assassin.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Rito was surprised to see the assassin fall with a face that seemed to feel pain.

"He's dead because of my poisoned needle." There was a familiar voice from the corner of the room.

"Huh! Ballut?"
