Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

"You three better get out of here, before things get even more out of hand." 

"Sir Mark, why don't we help? Allow me to crush all those Star of Dawn scum."

Liu Yue spoke with her pride and resolve at full display. The aura she emitted made her look like a valiant warrior from the distant past. Ye Rong was a little irritated since Liu Yue had spoken before him, but he agreed with her statement as he nodded his head in approval.

On the other hand, Loki wanted to blend into the shadows and leave so that he can do some recon. He didn't want to join in the conflict since he had no idea what kind of organization the Star of Dawn was. Yet as he was surrounded by three rather powerful martial artists, he wouldn't be able to disappear without arousing their suspicion. Heck if he disappeared now he might be considered to be part of the terrorist group Star of Dawn. So Loki had no choice but to stick close to the two for now. 

"We can't allow any of you three to join this battle. The two of you might have great strength and have gone through that tournament but this is something else entirely. If anything were to happen to you two your clans, and your sects would go crazy and fight the Star of Dawn to the death. If that were to happen many more would die, and your two clans and sects would be annihilated. It's entirely possible the reason they attacked today is because of you two..."

Hearing Mark's explanation the famed Twin Stars frowned as they clenched their fists. 

"You might not understand it now, but there is a reason that the Star of Dawn still persists to exist until now, even though it's the most wanted terrorist group in the world. Their strength runs deeper than you can imagine." 

While Mark was talking another explosion shook the building. 

"Tsk, those b*stards are really going at it today. The three of you follow me." Mark walked towards one side of the hallway and pulled on three books in a sequence. After he did that the bookshelf disappeared and a hidden passageway was seen. 

"You guys go through here, at the end of the hallway you'll arrive at the garrison of the Elite Dragon Brigade." 

The three of them nodded their heads, but the Twin Stars were still reluctant to leave the fight. Seeing the expression on the faces of the Twin Stars Mark who always had an indifferent look smiled a tiny bit. 

"There's no need to worry, even though the Star of Dawn is strong, we're no pushovers either," Mark spoke with confidence as he closed the door to the hidden passageway. 

...

The trio had now been walking for a few minutes now, and seeing that no one was following them Loki asked a question. 

"So what is the Star of Dawn?"

Even though Loki had read almost all the books in his room, and many memories of the original Loki had returned, Loki had little to no knowledge regarding the Star of Dawn. All he knew was that the Star of Dawn was the most dangerous terrorist group in the world. 

"Huh, you don't know the Star of Dawn? Have you've been cultivating in some kind of cave?" Of course, it was once again Lie Yue that responded first. 

"Of course, I know what the Star of Dawn is, but at most all I know is that they're a terrorist group, but based on the conversation a while ago it would seem that they are more than that." 

"Didn't your sect tell you anything?" 

"... I don't have a sect." The moment he said those words even the silent Ye Rong reacted.

"What?! Are you really a sectless martial artist, if you don't have a sect are you from some huge martial arts clan?"

Loki shook his head making the two look at him with even more shocked faces. How could some random person become a rank seven martial artist at such a young age? As if able to read their minds Loki then started to explain that he hasn't even been ranked yet and had just taken the assessment test today. 

'A late bloomer with the inner energy of a rank four martial artist. I see, this person isn't strong yet but has great potential.' Ye Rong had now reassessed his thoughts on Loki. 

"I understand now Junior brother, after your rank assessment, if you want to join a sect why not think about joining the Heavenly Dragon Sect." 

"Don't get ahead of yourself Ye Rong, if junior brother wants to join a sect he should join the Dazzling Phoenix Sect." 

The two then glared at each other and once again started arguing. After a while, Ye Rong made a rough cough before shifting his attention back to Loki. 

"Sorry about that, so regarding the Star of Dawn, this is all I know about them." 

...

As they were walking Loki listened to Ye Rong's explanation regarding the Star of Dawn and Lui Yue chimed in whenever she can. 

Basically, the Star of Dawn was a terrorist group that was made entirely by non martial artists. Their goal so to speak was the destruction of all Martial Artists. They believe that the Martial Artists are alien to this world and do not belong to it. They hate Martial Artists for all they had done in the past. Even now in an era where everyone believes in fake equality the Martial Artists were still part of the upper class and were treated differently.

This was of course, false, as not all Martial Artists were some rich a**hole that was part of the upper class. There were many that could be dirt poor as well. In fact, a lot of the one percentile were made out of the Non Martial Artists. 

It was also basic knowledge that the only people that could hold any political position from becoming Senators to being the President were the Non Martial Artists. On the other hand, in the Military only Martial Artists could get higher military ranks. 

"Those sickos think that all Martial Artists are monsters that aren't human. They believe that now that science has risen there is no need for false gods like Martial Artists, and it is now the time for the so called mortals to kill the false gods. Basically, they're just a bunch of crazy people that believe what they want to believe. They blame all the tragedies that happen in their lives on the Martial Artists. They blame all the wars on the Martial Artists, even though it was the Non Martial Artists that created the greatest weapons of mass destruction. They blamed the Martial Artists for poverty, even though all the politicians who are supposed to help them are Non Martial Artists.. These guys foolishly believe that some sort of paradise will arise once all Martial Artists were dead."
