But the news arrived way before his anticipated time.

"It is too early…way too early. Did something happen?" Frederick was panicking inside as this was too out of the norm. His friend was strong, but not strong to the point that he could take care of Zach in such a short time. This much time wasn\'t even enough to break past the defenses of the Luther family mansion let alone for the assassination of a dark mage like Zach who would definitely not go down without a fight.

With trembling lips, Frederick ordered the guard who was waiting outside to enter his bedchambers.

"What is it? Did something happen?" Frederick\'s voice trembled as he asked for the information brought to him by the guard.

"Our spies found the Tamer dead on his way towards the Luther family. There was a hole in his head as if something had exploded inside his head and his brain lay splattered around him at a considerable distance. Whatever struck him had the force of a magical ballistae behind it and had killed him at the spot. The scene indicated that the old man didn\'t even know how he died. There was no sign of his spirit animals and no sign of any battle. Whatever happened, definitely took him unawares."

The guard was a member of the small group of people who were allowed to enter his personal chambers. Therefore, the spies detailed by the family head to gather news regarding the assassination attempt had reported back to the guard so that he could report to Frederick in their stead.

Frederick looked shell shocked as he listened to the report of his subordinate. In a trance, he raised his hand high as if looking for some sort of support but couldn\'t find any.

Unconsciously he sat down on his bed…though fell down on his bed would be more accurate to describe what had happened.

If only Raisman could have seen his father at that moment when he received the news, he would never have set out to do the foolish task that he had been planning on his own.

Frederick looked as pale as a ghost. It felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained by someone and had left him as a pale bloodless husk of his previous self.

"How can this be? That old man was someone closer to an A rank mage. Even if Zach is stronger than me…just how much stronger can he actually be at such a small age. How can he kill him without even giving him a chance to retaliate?"

While Zach was heading back towards the Luther family mansion after cleaning himself up, Frederick\'s paranoia was increasing by the second.

"If Zach really was the cause of that old man\'s death, then it can only mean that Zach managed to finish job in a single blow. That is the only reason the old man wouldn\'t see an attack of that magnitude coming towards him. Or maybe Zach wasn\'t behind the incident at all…maybe it was the force behind him…AAaahhh…my worst fears are coming true."

Frederick\'s paranoid mind was busy deducing its own conclusions regarding the incident and had come up with the only logical explanation for the unfortunate incident.

Since he wasn\'t willing to accept that Zach could have the strength to take care of an A rank mage efficiently, he had to pin the blame on the unknown forces who truly had the power to pull off such a feat without leaving a single clue and without letting any news regarding the incident slip out. Otherwise he risked going completely insane.

"If the forces behind him have started to move, then I can only try to escape from this city after all grass will grow on the mountains again given enough time. We will have our chance as well in the future." Frederick was thinking of leaving his family home for the time being until the situation calmed down or he gathered enough strength to counter Zach and the support behind him.

In his paranoia, Frederick forgot the most important thing that he should have done; he forgot to rein in his son who was like a ticking time bomb in the current situation.

Excessive pampering had turned Raisman into a monster of desire. He did what he wanted without fearing any consequences. In simpler terms, he was a beast who thought with his dick.

Raisman was unable to forget Diana who had been the greatest object of his desire since the first time he had laid his eyes on her. He felt incredibly possessive towards her which was the reason that despite being engaged to her, he had kept a spy around her to keep an eye on her at all times.

His obsession was so great that he lost his mind whenever he thought about Diana doing this and that with Zach. Just imagining Zach being close to HIS Diana, Raisman\'s very soul burned with jealousy as he was taken over by possessive desire.

At first, Raisman thought that his father would be able to think of a countermeasure regarding that dark mage named Zach.

But even Frederick lost Raisman\'s respect when he turned into a spineless rat that could do nothing but hide after hearing the mere mention of the dark mage.

In the end, after waiting for a few more days, Raisman did what he always intended to do in the first place. He called for one of the swordsmen under the command of his father and ordered him to get Diana to him through force if he had to.

The swordsman definitely couldn\'t refuse the request of the young master of the Sosis family despite being under the direct command of the Sosis family head. He knew how much the head doted on his son even if he was exceptionally perverted and brutal.

And the fact that this was one of the untold and unconventional methods that guaranteed a rapid promotion in the Sosis family.

The swordsman wasn\'t willing to turn down such a rare opportunity that had come knocking at his door out of nowhere.

"Even if I can\'t have her for myself, I need to have a taste of that deliciously seductive body. I want to ravage her and mark her with my seed before she goes to that bastard. If that bastard wants to fuck her, he needs to get in line because I was there first. HAHAHAHA~" Raisman laughed villainously as he gave the go ahead for the implementation of his scheme.

Of course Zach wouldn\'t leave one of the greatest threats towards the Luther family unattended. Most of the surveillance around the Sosis family estate was focused towards Frederick who was the most insidious and responsible for almost the schemes that had the potential of harming him or those close to him.

It had to be known that he was the person mainly responsible for the current condition of Bruce who was reduced to a cripple after losing the protection of his father the previous head of the Sosis family.

Other than Frederick, the greatest threat was obviously Raisman. But Zach hadn\'t thought that Raisman had the balls to actually do something without informing his father. To him Raisman had felt to be a huge baby who was only using his father\'s power and authority to take what he wanted.

But obviously that wasn\'t the case any longer even if it had been like that before. He had already lost the respect he had for his father and was willing to act on his own unlike before.

Zach hadn\'t felt a lot of threat from Raisman because he felt that Raisman was not capable of scheming based on how blatantly he had showed his animosity towards Zach when he had visited the Sosis family. Characters like Raisman were the stupidest and mostly impulsive as far as Zach had seen.

Therefore, he was sure that he wouldn\'t have to do anything to get rid of Raisman since the man would give him a chance to act on his own.

Through the mechanical dragonflies, Zach already knew of the plans being concocted by Raisman to kidnap Diana from her home. The man wasn\'t exactly trying to keep it secret considering that the entire conversation between the employer and the employee for this job was being carried out before the servants of the household. He didn\'t have the sense to hide his thoughts from the servants like his father had done while ordering the Tamer to assassinate Zach.

Zach knew that Diana had the means to protect herself now that she always carried a gun with her after learning the way of shooting from Zach. She could be considered an expert already when it came to shooting but Zach was still worried about her. He wasn\'t as immature as to think of them as invincible.

Therefore, he planned to talk to Diana towards the end of their practice session of the day with the intention to warn her about the incoming threat.

"I need to talk to you after this practice session ends. Wait for me to finish all right?" Zach handed her a magazine for the Ruger semi-automatic rifle that she was busy practicing her shooting on today.

Diana didn\'t think it was very odd since Zach usually gave her a lecture on her shortcomings whenever she made a mistake after their practice session. She just nodded her head slightly with a slightly troubled expression as she didn\'t know what she had done today to earn one of Zach\'s lectures.
