Chapter 161 (2/2)

This was a quintessential assassination caya first sent a macheteman to tap on his hoon Society for infor the layout of the residence, the situation of the guards, and Huang shi+’an’s daily routine

Next, the bribed ned a further task – he would attempt to bribe the chef and et’s food

There were tooattempt, and that hy it was not Stone Castle’s preferred means for an assassination Gu Shenwei’s rationale for this on Society discovered the presence of a mole, it would falsely believe that the assassination was still being prepared

Two days after the abortion of the duel, in the evening of the eleventh day of the first lunarplan was carried out The five killers set off in their full outfits and gear, unbeknownst to anyone else

Their journey began slightly past 9:30 pm, and it would be nearly five hours later when they entered Horned Dragon Society’s stronghold They did not attract attention fro the way The two anonymous killers would keep watch while Maid Lotus perforht errors, and Gu Shenwei coordinated the overall situation

Dark clouds covered the sky and obscured the ht There was not the slightest hint of failure in the cold air

Maid Lotus was about to ju shi+’an’s roo at this time

Some areas seemed a little odd The courtyard was too quiet – there was not a single guard on duty, and it had been very well cleaned up Although he could not see everything clearly, he could confirm that there was hardly any junk in the courtyard

Gu Shenwei recalled his ier was acco of machetemen whenever he went He was chatty and humorous, and never seemed like someone who enjoyed quietude The owner of this courtyard, however, seemed to be a monk who had little earthly desires

This was not the first time Gu Shenorked on intuition He believed in its accuracy, and so, with a gentle shake of his head, called off the assassination

Though Maid Lotus was surprised, she obeyed the order and retreated towards him Liuhua remained at his spot and only followed behind when the two of them had walked past hi He was keeping guard on a rooftop, and also followed behind after the prior three had walked past

The second killer on lookout was Slave Yuan, and he hid on a courtyard wall These two killers were for, and were people whom Gu Shenwei trusted

Slave Yuan was dead

He laid on top of the wall in the same way he would if he was alive The moment Gu Shenwei past by the body, he knew the latter was dead

The fatal wound was at the back of his head It was extremely small and did not bleed much Slave Yuan did not feel any pain

The four killers took turns to carry the body back to the stronghold Lighting a few candles, they stood round the corpse silently, while bouts of uncertainty and fear arose in their hearts

It was a sound once again

It seeht, all of Jade City’s assassins had switched to learning swordcraft instead

Slave Huan was certainly not a mediocre killer Otherwise, he would not have survived thethe apprentice years, and furtheruan Ru

The person who killed him had to be an elitewas that Slave Yuan did not know, up to his death, that soot close to hi a mask on his face, and so did the other three killers nobody said a word

So, and yet this tion Society to elily complicated

Slave Yuan’s death was kept private such that few people in South City knew about it However, in the n, a hue It belonged to the hidden traitor whoe which Gu Shenwei had painstakingly built up was destroyed overnight Within Golden Roc Fort, the life of a killer was considered cheaper than an ant’s, but outside of the stone walls, it was n which Slave Huan had planned not only yielded anything, but also cost the life of a companion This was an extremely severe offense

Gu Shenent alone to North City to aduan Yushi+ intended to punish Slave Huan according to Stone Castle’s rules by chopping off one of his fingers, but was stopped by Shangguan Ru

She was also displeased – she only had ten killers under her command, and with one dead, she was left with nine This o less than her brother Shangguan Fei However, instead of bla Slave Huan, she ejected everyone else from the room and kept hiuan Yushi+ revealed a spiteful look, and when she reached the door even turned back and co Master, please consider carefully If your heart is soft now, it’ll ache in the future”

Shangguan Ru nodded in response When the room was left with only two people, she peered at Slave Huan with her jet black eyes “For so in half sentences I’ll like to knohat you were thinking”

“There’s aus” Gu Shenwei had not planned to say this because he knew it sounded like he was deflecting responsibility, but Shangguan Ru had read his mind and thus he could only speak frankly “And that person is one of Tenth Young Master’s killers”
