Assassination System-Chapter 229 Juliet's Counterattack

A dignified middle-aged man appeared beyond the dilapidated door. His expression furious as his chest furiously bobbed up and down in fury. When he heard of Natalie's plans of escaping away through his subordinate Elder, he immediately rushed to this place and took the initiative to stop their next course of actions.

"G-Grand Elder..." Natalie's face lost its colors as her figure started trembling in fear, she fell on her knees and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, "G-G-Grand Elder, it was never my intention to escape from this place... I-I-It's just that I wanted to secure a bright future for Juliet..."

Her voice sounded hoarse as tears spilled out from her eyelids like a dam. She glanced at Juliet and signaled for her to keep quiet as the Grand Elder went inside the room and forcefully lifted her up by the collar.

"You bitch, how dare you fucking lie at my face! Do you really think that I'll believe you than my trusted subordinates?!" He angrily roared and hurled Natalie at the rundown wall which collapsed into smithereens upon contact with Natalie's frail and delicate body.

"Mama!" Juliet cried out loud and rushed towards her mother as the Grand Elder cracked his knuckles and neck. The Patriarch was about to choose his successor and judging from the fact that his potential was dried up and he wasn't at his prime age anymore, it was highly unlikely that the Patriarch would choose him as his successor.

"What a coincidence, the cultivation method that I cultivate in can siphon the innate potential of humans to boost my own. Although your talent is garbage, you still have some potential left in you, particularly when you're so young..."

The Grand Elder cupped his chin and observed Natalie's features. His eyes shone in a strange and perverted light which made Natalie felt like she was stripped off everything and her secrets, revealed.

Despite Natalie's mindset and strong willpower, she still wasn't a proper woman. Ever since she became able to bear a child, she was violated day after day and finally became pregnant to Juliet. Nevertheless, though she hated the days that she spent inside that nightmare, she never regretted giving birth to her precious daughter.

And she would do everything to protect her.

The Grand Elder stretched his hand out and caressed Natalie's chin, running his fingers across her neck, he lifted her hair and sniffed.

"Aaaah, despite the dirt and the filth that stuck to your body I can still feel the distinct and delicate aroma of a woman! What a fascinating creature you are, Natalie! I applaud your determination and resolve to protect your child!" The Grand Elder clapped his hands together and honestly praised. Glancing at Juliet, he said.

"Since you're that desparate for a safe sanctuary. How about I protect you and your little girl here? As long as you come with me, there's no way that the bastard son of that Patriarch can lay his hands on you!" He offered, his visage shone with delight and anticipation. His stridor rang loud and clear that it intimidated Juliet who ran towards her mother.

Natalie blinked and revealed a hesitant expression. Witnessing her actions, the Grand Elder rubbed her palms together and was about to persuade her. But before he could do so, Natalie suddenly replied with disgust laced in her tone.

"No matter what happens, I'll never follow you nor anyone from this despicable clan! You disgusting pig!" Natalie spat a mouthful of saliva which flew in a silver beam and landed on the Grand Elder's face.

the Grand Elder turned indifferent and touched the wetness that landed on his face. Licking his fingers, Natalie cringed in disgust as the former boisterously laughed.

"So this is the path that you chose, ah! So this is how you want everything to play out..." He continuously licked his fingers and savored Natalie's saliva as he unbuckled his robes, revealing an unsightly scene.

Natalie hurriedly covered Juliet's eyes as she forced her into an embrace, burying the little girl's face into her chest, making sure that she won't see such a traumatizing scene.

Natalie used her free hand to move backward in a frantic manner. The Grand Elder stared at her playfully and didn't immediately capture her, enjoying the thrill of the hunt as he closed into his prey.

Kneeling down, he stretched out his hand and cupped Natalie's chin as the latter tried her best to resist the Grand Elder's strength. But how could a mortal like her possibly withstand the force of a cultivator like him?

Not even a minute passed and Natalie lost her strength. Forming a sword with her fingers, she poked at Juliet's back making her lose consciousness so that she wouldn't witness the scene of her mother being violated by such a pig.

"This goddamned kid is really annoying, clinging to your mother and blocking my view like that!" the Grand Elder picked the limp Juliet off Natalie and threw her directly at the stone bed.

"Juliet!" Natalie screamed in horror. But fortunately, Juliet landed smoothly and didn't suffer any injuries to her body. Glaring at the Grand Elder, she said with tears welling up in her eyelids.

"You fucking pig! No matter what happens, I'll never give up! I'll definitely escape this place and annihilate this entire clan someday!" Natalie violently cursed and continuously spat on the Grand Elder's face.

However, she didn't expect that the Grand Elder was more perverted than she thought. Instead of feeling disgusted by what she did, the Grand Elder even opened his mouth and received all of her spit into his mouth.

"Hahaha, annihilate the entire Luzon Clan? That's the best joke that I heard in my entire life!" the Grand Elder laughed in a mocking manner and stared at her once again,

"Are you done struggling? If not, you can keep your struggles, show me how defiant you can be. Only when that happens will everything feel rewarding when I finally claimed your body as mine..." the Grand Elder exerted his weight on Natalie's frame causing her bones to crack as a sharp pain assaulted her nerves.

Suppressing her pain filled scream, Natalie bit her lower lip until it bled. But soon, her struggles weakened along with her body. Eventually, she became quiet and sobbed in a voice that only she could hear.

Juliet heard her mother's cries and the perverted Grand Elder's light chuckles as consciousness returned to her body. Lifting her head, she stared ahead and saw her mother being pressed to the ground with a figure that looked as humongous as a mountain.

Seeing her mother's gradually weakening struggles and voice, she tried opening her mouth but found that no voice came out of her throat. She tried moving her body but found that she couldn't draw any strength from her body.

"I-I-I have to help Mama..." Juliet thought in her mind, with her willpower, she managed to open her mouth and bit her lower lip. She knew nothing about what the Grand Elder was about to do with her mother but she knew that it was something horrifying and would forever scar her mother's heart if it happened.

Rolling her eyeballs, she looked around the area but found nothing that she could use to help her mother. Only a splinter the size of her forearms from her table was present that she could use against that perverted bastard.

Forcing her body off the stone bed, sweat filled her forehead as her heart madly circulated blood throughout her entire body in an effort to support her exertion. Unfortunately for Juliet, she found that the bed acted like a magnet and paired with her body that felt heavier than normal, her arms eventually gave out and she lost all of her strength.

"Nooo, arms, hands, body... Please move... I want to help Mama..." She wished in her heart and it became a burning desire that reigned over her soul and body. Summoning strength out of nowhere, she tapped on her body's potential as she finally gained control over her body and rolled towards the side of the bed.

Taking the wooden splinter off the ground, Juliet felt a domineering presence overwhelm her body as she madly ran towards the Grand Elder and subconsciously struck at his nape.

"Release Mamaaa!!!" She crazily screamed, lifting her small arms, she used all the force from her body to strike at the Grand Elder who stared at her in amusement. As someone at his cultivation, a mortal's strike couldn't possibly do any damage on his body, much more when it's a strike from such a young girl like her.

Natalie's eyes widened in shock, but not with delight and excitement. instead, her eyes shone with despair, hopelessness and worry as to what would happen to her daughter once the Grand Elder became enraged. Clenching her fists, she resolved to sacrifice even her body for as long as she managed to live.

The wooden splinter within Juliet's hands shone in a strange silvery light that looked breathtaking to behold. A whizzing sound reverberated as the air itself was split and just as the sense of imminent danger filled the Grand Elder's heart, Juliet's attack already landed on his nape and cleanly separated his head from his shoulders.

"A-a-a-aaahhh!!!" Juliet screamed in horror as blood madly spurted out from the place where the Grand Elder's head was supposed to be. Juliet's figure trembled and she fell on her butt. Blood streamed and mixed with mud as a rusty smell wafted in the air.

Natalie acted fast and kicked the Grand Elder's decapitated body to the side, pouncing at her trembling daughter. She hurriedly wiped the blood on her face and consoled her with a tight embrace. Though she didn't understand what happened and what that light from the wooden splinter earlier was. All she knew was that the nightmare was over.

Holding her child into her bosom, Juliet eventually fall into sleep as Natalie decisively carried her away from her home. The escape plan that was supposed to happen in several hours prematurely started as she desperately ran away towards the opposite direction. Heading for her uncle's home.

The plan involved smuggling herself amidst the Luzon Clan's garbage carts with the help of her uncle so that she could safely escape the Luzon Clan's Residence. With the help of the gold coins that her uncle gave to her, she should be able to reach the distant Empire of Dawn without problems.

Hiding within the shadows of buildings. Natalie eventually arrived at a luxurious residence as she scaled the fence and landed on the ground. Peeking inside, she saw her uncle sitting cross-legged on a meditation mat as she called out with an anxious voice.

"Uncle! it's me! Natalie!" She whispered and the heightened senses of a cultivator captured her words as her uncle that looked to be at the same age as the Grand Elder stood up and stared at Natalie's figure with worry and anger visible on her face.

After Natalie told him everything about what happened, her uncle snorted.

"That bastard deserves it! To die so miserably and under the hands of such a little girl, that's a small price to pay compared to the hatred and resentments that he gathered when he was still living!" Uncle Loj violently cursed.

Directing his gaze at Juliet, he was about to speak when the presence of a six cultivators simultaneously appeared within his residence via Spatial Tunneling.

"Positive, the bitch Natalie is here..." One of the cultivators said and they all turned to look at Natalie as Uncle Loj hurriedly moved in front of them and said.

"You go to the back and escape, I'll try my best to hold these bastards off..." Uncle Loj unsheathed his sword and Natalie tearfully carried Juliet into the backdoor. Little did she knew that shining behind her back was a Soul Mark that constantly tracked her location.
