901 Assassination 7 (2/2)

A man who wasn't even afraid to die, a man who would rather bite his own tongue to kill himself in order to keep the secret had succumbed under a single elixir from Jun Wu Xie? Even when she had not done a single thing more against him but had merely let him lie on the ground without even probing him with a single question? Just one elixir and the man had volunteered to confess?

The looks her several companions were giving her were filled with curiosity. They wanted so much to know just how horrifying the effects of the elixir that Jun Wu Xie had given the man could be, that it could break such a highly determined and resolute man to such a pitiable state in just less than an hour's time.

Jun Wu Xie slowly put down her bowl and chopsticks, her eyes turning to look at Ye Sha.

Ye Sha immediately picked the man up.

That one quick action, elicited a bout of heart rending screams from the man, the horrifying sounds, immediately causing the faces of the innkeeper and the waiter on the first floor to immediately turn pale.

”It's the Prime Minister….. The Prime Minister was the one who ordered us to come kill you.” The man took a long while to recuperate, before saying in a trembling voice.

”Prime Minister?” Jun Wu Xie asked with an eyebrow raised.

”Ay? The Fire Country's Prime Minister, isn't he….. isn't he…..” Qiao Chu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, as he winked at Jun Wu Xie repeatedly, trying very hard to hint at something.

Jun Wu Xie's eyes swept past Qiao Chu, completely ignoring him.

”Why does he want to kill me?” Jun Wu Xie asked.

”I really do not know the reason. I am only in charge of getting rid of people whom the Prime Minister wants eradicated. As to the reason behind it, I had never dared to ask, and the Prime Minister would not tell it to me.” The man answered.

Jun Wu Xie nodded. She knew the man was not lying. Having gotten her answer, she nodded again at Ye Sha and Ye Sha immediately broke the man's neck without even blinking.
