Chapter 709 – Assassination

After realizing what the actual problem was, Shang told Lucin about the changes to his warrior's body that the Custodian had performed.2

When Shang was done speaking, Lucin looked at him with a worried expression. "How do you feel?" he asked.

"Like someone is planning on killing me," Shang said.

"I can assure you that nobody within the Lightning Manor is planning on killing you yet," Lucin said.

"Yet?" Shang repeated.

"Well, you are essentially a competitor to the other Clouds since we can only send one King Contender into the Grand Tournament. It is obviously forbidden to kill your colleagues in the Lightning Manor, but that doesn't stop some of them. From time to time, I still have to execute one of the Clouds for failing or succeeding in a plot to assassinate another Cloud," Lucin explained.

"Right now, they barely know anything about you, but when they learn more about your true powers, some of them might plot to kill you."
