"Big brother, wake up! BIG BROTHER!", William slapped Allen so hard that the latter shouted in fright as a hand mark was left on his face.

Several seconds later...

William was sitting in the bed while Allen was standing up in front of the younger Morgan, reprimanding his earlier actions.

"I am your big brother! Even though I might be late for work, you should never, ever slap me on the face, got it?", Allen furiously asked.

"I got it.", William weakly nodded and suddenly said, "But big brother, you"re not late for work, I woke you up early in the morning."

"Oh?", Allen then noticed the position of the sun. Afterwards, he rubbed William"s head and said, "What a good little brother you are. Waking me up early in the morning!"

There was a shiny glint on William"s eyes as he said, "Thank you!"

"Now then, for doing that, I"m going to reward you something.", Allen approached the drawer and pulled it out to take something.

Meanwhile, William was giving a weird face as he thought, "Giving me... a reward?" With his intelligence, he knew that there was something fishy going on.

-whoosh-

Allen took out a long and considerably thick wooden stick from the drawer and said, "I"m going to give you a reward... of three forces punishment!"

The younger Morgan widened his eyes and frantically tried to run away outside the bedroom. However, before he could do so, Allen already grabbed hold onto the former"s shirt and closed the door of the room.

-pak- -pak- -pak- -pak- -pak- -pak-

...

William"s hands were now red after Allen gave him three whacks per hand. The former was angrily looking at the latter, while the older Morgan didn"t seem to mind it.

Suddenly, William suddenly said, "I"m really sorry, big brother."

On the other hand, Allen nodded and said, "Now... don"t do that ever again."

"I really won"t..."

...

The two brothers ate breakfast together. After eating, Allen immediately left the house while William was left behind again.

As soon as Allen left the house, William ran to the living room and checked through the window if his older brother really left.

After which, William grinned and immediately ran up to his bedroom and searched for a book.

"No, not this..."

"Nope..."

""Tree Branch in Disguise?"", William saw a thin, green book, which looked like a short novel of some sort. "I"ll probably read this later.", he thought as he placed the book on top of his bed.

"Ehh... "The Secrets of 69"? What is this? Nope.", William placed back the book.

"Hmm... here it is!", William looked at a thick book named "King Daniel Santos II"s Laws of Trigurniburg Kingdom". He carried it up and immediately exited the house and walked towards the top of the hill.

...

The top of the hill was just like a gra.s.sy patch with different kinds of colorful flowers scattered everywhere. There was a dry well under an apple tree in a particular location on the hill, which was William"s destination.

When William reached the well, he picked up an apple that recently fell from the tree and threw it down the well.

After a few moments of waiting for something, he jumped on the well without any trace of hesitation.

-whoosh-

Before he fell to the bottom of the well, an invisible force made him float into the air and he then safely landed on the ground.

He saw the apple that he just threw on the well earlier beside him, he picked it up and tossed it on the air, and never came back.

He touched the walls of the well, trying to feel for something, when he felt a rather smooth stone from the rough stones of the well, he pushed it with force until it made a clicking sound.

Suddenly, some parts of the rough stone wall behind him opened up and revealed a pa.s.sageway lit by torches.

William unhesitatingly entered and the entrance behind him closed up. He continued walking through the lit corridor until he walked to a very wide room.

The wide room was full of children whispering to each other, the boys and girls were separated neatly and sat on the two groups of benches. The room also had many pa.s.sageways connected to it, most likely where the other children came from.

William entered on the side of the room, when the other children saw him enter, they stood up and greeted him.

William just waved h.e.l.lo and immediately went to the front of the children where the was a desk and a high chair on top of a pedestal.

On top of of the desk, there was gavel and a sound block, making the place all the more look like an Imperial Court session.

William placed the book on top of the desk, he then sat up on the high chair with difficulty, and finally hit the sound blocked with the gavel twice. After which, the children sat down again.

If commoners saw this, they"d be so stunned and at the same time be intoxicated by the cuteness and imagination of the children.

However, if a n.o.ble sees this, they"d be scared stiff, because the children partic.i.p.ating were sons and daughters of high ranking officials!

"Let the council meeting begin.", William smiled while playfully swinging his feet.

"And oh... belated happy birthday, Alexa.", William added as he looked towards a girl. The girl, who was Alexa, just nodded and kept quiet.

"Before we really start, does everyone still remember the oath?", William asked.

"Never let our relatives and of others to find out about this."

"Never ask help from each other until we reach the proper age."

Meanwhile, back at the Crescent Town...

As it was not yet time for the opening of the Three Heads Tavern. Allen was travelling around the town, right now, he reached the marketplace.

Even if it was early in the morning, there were already a lot of people in the said place.

The kid felt a nostalgic feeling from the noise that was coming from this place. This was where he frequently steal money from other people"s pockets.

It"s just been more or less a month since he became an a.s.sa.s.sin. However, he felt like it was forever like because of almost dying four or five times, in just the said time period!

Nonetheless, it has paid off. Now, he was technically rich. He would try to find a chance in the future to get his brother study at a school and something with his father.

Suddenly, he felt there was something wrong and checked his pockets. There he saw someone"s hand taking something from inside his pockets!

Ironically, the pickpocket, was the one getting his pockets picked!

The owner of the hand immediately retracted his hands back and ran away, while getting a few bronze coins from Allen!

"d.a.m.n it, I may not be poor anymore, but I won"t let my dignity be washed away!", Allen angrily chased after what seemed to be like a young boy.

At the same time, at the other end of the street.

There was a muscular man walking with a thin looking frail looking yet handsome man.

"Lazar, you should calm down.", the frail looking man said.

"Robert, the only reason why I"m here is because I want to find my brother"s killer!", Lazar said, trying to hold back his fury within himself.

"So a kid killed your older brother. Hey, don"t get too rash with your actions, alright?", Robert said and took out a coin from his pockets and repeatedly tossed it into the air, which prompted Lazar to look at it.

"Well then... let"s say that kid who killed your brother suddenly b.u.mped on you... would you kill him on sight?", Robert asked.

"No I won"t... I will make him suffer first!", Lazar gritted his teeth.

At the same time, Allen was heading towards the direction of the two.

As Lazar was looking towards the coin that Robert was tossing, he didn"t notice that the kid was heading on his way, while Allen didn"t notice that he was about to hit Lazar!

The two suddenly hit each other with their legs, Allen stumbled on the ground so as Lazar on opposite directions.

"I"m so sorry about that mister.", Allen apologized as he looked at Lazar"s back.

"It"s alright.", Lazar said with an outlandish accent without looking back.

Seeing the muscular man didn"t mind it, Allen immediately stood up and tried to catch up with the pickpocket.

Meanwhile, Robert helped Lazar up, the latter didn"t get angry but sighed as he remembered something, "Kids... makes me remember when me and brother playing with each other."

"So a kid really did b.u.mp to you just as I said.", Robert laughed.

"Hmph, shut your big mouth, it always gets us into trouble. Plus, he won"t even be the one who killed my brother... the chances are too nil.", Lazar said.

"Alright, alright!"

Meanwhile, Lazar made a faint smile and joked, "You know, since we were young, you always gets us into trouble. To be honest, your nickname "White" suits you those times... so please, don"t talk too much and don"t make prophecies."

Robert felt speechless at first but immediately said: "You have no authority to command me!"

Lazar: "..."

Lazar thought: "Actually, I do have the authority."
