Devour

In one of the Hammergust family courtyards,

 "What did you say? there is no news from the assassin sect and its disciples?" the young man with a light golden color robe shouted at the kneeling servant in front of him.

 "Young master, they are not giving any reply to the mission we placed on their mission tab," the kneeling servant whose face is entirely covered in sweat replied respectfully.

 "Do you have any idea, why they are not replying to us?" the young master asked after thinking about the situation.

 "Actually, there is a rumour recently which spread like a wildfire among the five main families and the three sects," the servant wiping his forehead answered.

 "Don't stop in the middle, continue what you are saying," the young man angrily shouted at the kneeling servant make him sweat again all over his body.
