Chapter 44: A Cut to the Face to Atone for My Sins



On his way back to his study, he opened the mission prompt.

[The Snake Gang will soon learn of their members' deaths! You must take the initiative to destroy this organized crime group before they become a threat to the Firecrown Household! Reward: 2500 Fate Points, 3 Years of Cultivation Experience, and 3 Years of Combat Experience!]

Once he completed this mission, he would have 6950 Fate Points. That would only make him 3000 points short of gathering 10000 Fate Points to merge his two cultivation methods. Both the True Sacred Flame Heavenly Tome and the Ice Revolution Divine Method were transcendent-rank cultivation methods.

If the two of them were merged, he couldn't even begin to think what kind of monstrous cultivation technique would be created.

"The Firecrown Household wasn't supposed to be destroyed, but I became the variable that changed the direction of the family's fate. I must do everything I can to stop its destruction and also to save myself from my fated demise!" Fredrinn's eyes flashed with unyielding light. He was determined to change the bleak future that he had seen!

***

The day of the guards unit's first official mission finally arrived.

In front of the Firecrown Household's main mansion, the guards unit gathered and lined up according to their respective squads. Standing at the very front of the formation were Captain Gunnar and Deputy Captain Aurelius.

Everyone was donned in their new uniforms with their swords strapped on their back.

At this moment, Fredrinn walked in front of the group and cleared his throat.

"Everyone, I know that some of you are nervous, but you don't have to be ashamed of it. Fearing death is normal, but you must never do something that would compromise the safety of your team! Our targets in this operation are felons and criminals who had fled into the slums. The number of people who had died in their hands is probably in the hundreds!

We must get rid of them and ensure the safety of residents!"

"Get rid of them!"

"Kill them!"

"Protect the residents!"

Fredrinn could feel the blood-pumping atmosphere. "Enter the carriages! We are setting off!"

"Yes, Lord Fredrinn!" Everyone responded in unison.

Their loud shouts attracted the attention of the servants and the martial practitioners of the family.

"What's going on? What are those guys up to this time?"

"Is Lord Fredrinn planning to bring them around the city to show off?"

Everyone had different opinions about them. Some thought that they were out to cause trouble, while others believed that they were on their way to complete a mission.

Whatever their thoughts were, it had little importance to Fredrinn.

For this journey, he didn't bring Olivia and Alice. Their cultivation was still low so they wouldn't be able to provide much help even if he brought them with him.

Fredrinn was inside a carriage together with Kristine's squad.

"Cousin, I haven't congratulated you yet for your recent breakthrough. We should hold a small celebration after the mission is over." Fredrinn took the initiative to speak with her.

"You noticed?" Kristine stared at him in surprise. She hadn't told anyone about her breakthrough so she was surprised that Fredrinn knew about it.

Fredrinn chuckled. "Of course. That's also the reason why I appointed you as one of the squad leaders. Although your cultivation is not that high compared to some of the veterans in the unit, I'm sure that you will surpass them in a few years given your potential."

Kristine didn't expect him to say such words. He used to look down on her because of her inferior bloodline and he would even sometimes take advantage of her. She only put up with it because of his status, but in truth, she harbored a deep grudge against him. It was only recently that her perception of him slowly changed.

"Why are you saying this now? Didn't you say back then that someone with an inferior bloodline like me isn't fit to serve the Firecrown Household?" She muttered while looking deeply at him.

Fredrinn was stumped by her words. He didn't even know how he would respond.

The martial practitioners inside the carriage felt the awkward atmosphere. No one dared to speak. No one dared to breathe loudly.

In the end, Fredrinn looked away from her and leaned against the wall. If he could bring back the previous Fredrinn Firecrown, he would beat him up until he was half-dead. The bastard left so many issues for him to deal with. He even felt like he was a nanny who was brought here in this world to clean up his ass. The feeling was terrible.

Kristine realized that she had spoken out of turn. She wouldn't have dared to say those words back then, but because of the piled-up of emotions, she ended up letting out all her frustrations. "C-Cousin… I-"

Fredrinn suddenly lowered his head before she could say anything. "Kristine, I know that I have done many terrible things to you in the past. I hope that you can forgive me…"

Kristine and the others were shocked when they saw this scene.

The arrogant heir of the Firecrown Household, Fredrinn Firecrown, lowered his head and apologized!

It was the first time this had happened so everyone thought that they were dreaming.

"C-Cousin, you don't need to-" Kristine was flustered when she saw this.

"I was immature and stupid. I know this isn't enough to pay for what I have done…" Fredrinn suddenly grabbed a knife from out of nowhere and made a cut on his face.

"Cousin!"

"My lord!"

"My lord, you don't need to go that far!"
