The strangely-injured assassin did not answer him, as if he had yet to fully awaken

He rubbed his shoulder after placing the assassin down, for his shoulders were aching after carrying hi period of time

At the same time, he used this opportunity to take a quick rest

The old man did the same With the lantern in his hand, he walked in closer with a tense look on his face

The assassin’s breathing rhythht of the lantern Then, unintelligible words came out from his mouth when he slowly opened his eyes

His eyes remained half open His ill complexion made him look exhausted He looked like he was not fully awake, or if he ake, he was too weak to fully open his eyes

”Are you okay?” Benjamin asked
