Old John’s body trembled as he looked at Mike with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He believed that the human adventurer in front of him was not joking at all.

If he refused to reveal the information he knew, the man in front of him would definitely send him to God without hesitation.

His strong desire to survive made him speak subconsciously.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything I know. Please don’t hurt me!”

Mike nodded in satisfaction, motioning for Old John to answer his question.

Old John took a deep breath and said with a dim gaze,

“Actually, I was just an ordinary tavern owner, and my life was pretty decent.

“My wife was sick last month, and I ran out of ways to treat her…”

He stopped speaking at this point.

There was no other reason. It was because the tip of the umbrella that was pressed against his neck was slightly pushed forward.

A drop of blood slid down from the wound on his throat.

Mike said coldly,

“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in these things. Answer my question directly.”

Looking at Mike’s cold eyes, Old John’s throat was a little dry. His Adam’s apple moved slightly as a mouthful of saliva was swallowed. Then, he gave a few short answers.

“We’re from the Shadow Brotherhood.

“The higher-ups asked us to assassinate this elven woman.

“I don’t know who our higher-ups are either. I only know that his name is Dark Night.”

This time, Mike did not give an immediate response. He tried hard to search through his memory to see if there were any similar keywords.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he still could not think of any information related to Dark Night or the Shadow Brotherhood.

Obviously, this organization was very well hidden.

From their way of doing things, it could be seen that aside from their targets, they would also kill witnesses or any obstructions.

To confirm this, Mike continued to ask,

“What do you mean by the rules that the Dwarf killer mentioned before?”

Old John dared not hesitate and immediately answered, “We will try our best to kill in a deserted place, but if there are people nearby, we will kill them altogether.”

Mike nodded. This made sense.

Old John wanted to let go of the little tree spirit Stone for emotional reasons, but this was in conflict with the rules of the organization. That was why the Dwarf killer said that.

Mike asked one last question.

“Where is your organization’s base of operations?”

“There is no base of operations. I was only informed of every operation.”

Mike frowned slightly because this information was very vague.

The answer given by Od John did not mean that the organization had no base of operations.

On the contrary, his answer made Mike think that the organization had a base of operations, but the requirements to enter the base of operations were very strict.

Old John should have joined the organization for a month, but he still had not been to the base of operations.

In other words, it was very difficult for Mike to sneak into the organization.

He had no choice but to give up the idea.

“Alright, you can go back.”

After saying this, Mike turned around and left.

Old John was slightly stunned. He had never thought that this man would actually be willing to let him go.

He was even mentally prepared to be killed. He answered all these questions merely hoping for some luck.

However, a miracle happened.

Tears flowed out of the corners of Old John’s eyes.

He still had his life, his family, and his children.

It was great that he could survive.

However, a female voice suddenly appeared.
