“Could it be?”A few minutes later, Elise suddenly thought of something.

“What’s wrong, Master?” Vivian and Eleanor saw their master’s brows relax and tighten at times, so they became nervous.

Instead of paying attention to her disciples’ words, Elise kept muttering to himself.

“I got it!”

“Me too!”

“It seems that something big is going to happen this year. The entire assassination world is going to be reshuffled.”

Upon saying this, Vivian could not help but look at her master and asked, “What exactly has happened?”

Elise did not hide in the face of his disciple’s inquiry, “If I’m not wrong, after this year’s rookie king competition, the king of assassins competition will be held at the beginning of next year. The reason why these people were so publicly exposed was entirely because this year’s rookie king competition would determine the position of the future underground lord.”

“The future underground lord?” After hearing the new term, the two ladies, who could be said to be the heaven’s favored daughters of the assassin world, started get curious.

Elise didn’t think too much about it and repeated seriously, “Yes, that’s right. Whoever wins will be the future underground Lord! !”

“If I’m not wrong, the organization of the assassins is very large at the moment, but there is a serious dispersion in this organization. To put it bluntly, there isn’t a single dragon-headed organization.”

“This is just like an ancient army marching to war. Each side builds its own mountain and calls each other king.”

“Obviously, the organizations have already discovered this drawback. Hence, they want to completely solve this drawback through one matter.”

“And the way to solve it is very simple. Push out a true underground lord. In the future, no matter what happens to all the organizations, it will be up to him to decide,” added Elise.

With this addition, the two disciples finally understood why there was such a thing.

If they were to introduce an underground master next, then this would be the time for immortals to cross the sea and show their abilities.

First, let their disciples win the Rookie King Competition and become the rookie king killer this time.

In this way, this new king assassin would be the future crown prince.

After the king of Assassins competition ended, if this new king’s Master won the championship again and took the title, then without even thinking, the underground lord would be obtained by this person.

Even if he didn’t get it, and if someone else got the title of king of Assassins, he still had a chance to fight for what he wanted.

After all, the person who could get the title of king of Assassins was in his forties???

With his age, he might not be able to be the leader for long.

Therefore, all the assassin organizations in the world would definitely hope for a young man to be their leader.

Firstly, this young man’s thinking was better than the pedantic older generation.

Secondly, this young man was the underground lord and had lived for a long time. Naturally, the situation would be as stable as an old dog.

To any force, internal strife was far more serious than external disasters. Therefore, what they wanted was not a leader who could lead them to greater glory, but a leader who could stabilize the overall situation, an underground lord who would allow everyone to develop in peace.

Therefore, the position of the master of the underworld was leaning toward the new king, not the king of assassins.

And that was why these top bosses were willing to take the risk and report the name of their disciples in advance.

That was because everything was a publicity stunt.

A publicity stunt for their disciples to become the Master of the underworld.

In the face of this situation, Vivian and Eleanor could not help but look at their master and said, “Master, are we still participating?”

If it was before, she would definitely be angry when she heard her disciple admitting defeat, but now she could only sigh.

The main reason was that the people who went this time were too strong and terrifying.

In spite of that, after a while, Elise said resolutely, “Go, you must go. This year’s rookie king competition is different from those of the previous years. If you clearly have the strength, then you have to go. In my mind, your skills will definitely surpass me. If I give you ten years, you can also become as strong as artists, so you can not abandon the competition because of fear. Once you choose to abandon the competition, then you will stop at your current level forever. It is impossible for you to have any breakthroughs because fundamentally, you have already lost the faith of an assassin!”

“Also, this year’s competition will definitely attract the attention of all the killer organizations in the world. Those who are interested will check the list of people who can participate in this year’s competition but do not choose to participate. Once you are on this list, you will no longer be fated to be assigned with an s-rank mission. Whether it is the official or the organization, they will not give you a mission of this level because you are no longer qualified to be a top-notch killer. For this reason, regardless of whether it is for your own sake or for the sake of your future, you must participate.”

“Of course, you don’t have to be afraid. There is a rule in the rookie king assassin competition. Once you are in a desperate situation, you can activate the signal. At that time, the organization will decide that you have forfeited. At the same time, the other party can not kill you. Once they kill you, you will be ostracized by the entire organization. This is a measure to protect talents. With this rule, you can be considered to be able to keep your lives. If you make any moves after launching the signal, you will certainly be killed by the organization. There will be no leeway. Therefore, you must remember that a loss is a loss. A loss is not scary. The scary thing is that you can not afford to lose!”

Elise started to analyze the pros and cons for her two disciples.

After another round of analysis, the two sisters’ eyes gradually became firm.

At first, when they heard about the strength of the contestants, they were indeed a little afraid.

However, when they heard that abandoning the competition would affect their killer’s heart, especially when they would be ostracized by the organization, they were no longer afraid.

After all, for them, it was better to die bravely than to live cowardly.

However, after hearing that there was a signal, the two of them were a little relieved.

However, they did not know that Elise had lied here.

The so-called lie was that there were no surveillance cameras throughout the match. After the signal was sent, the organization and the master would go to rescue them.

If the rescue was fast, then everything would be fine.

If the rescue was slow, the other party could also choose to kill the other party, as long as there was no evidence left behind.

In each rookie competition, there were hundreds of applicants, but there were less than fifty people who survived.

Some killers even snatched the other party’s signal transmitter at the first moment and then killed them.

But she couldn’t say what she knew.

If she did, she would only cause fear in both of them.
