Chapter 26: Artifacts - King’s Landing in Chaos!
Stealth was in Kai’s bones.
The last two years of his previous life weren’t anywhere enough for him to become a master of assassinations. Not when Kai had only himself to rely on; only himself to learn from. But with the help of his Blood Essence, he had successfully bridged the gap of experience.
How else he could have survived the wrath of an entire world?

However, the presence of Perception had made Kai warier in this new life of his.
No matter how nimble and surefooted he was, a Contestant with higher Perception would sense him. Kai knew it. He had seen it happening personally. So Kai had decided to act fast, the sooner the better.

"Damn this smell!" Kai cursed, trying to pinch his nose without hands. "It sure brings back memories, though. Sigh..."
"Mmm... Hmmm..."
"Shut up!" Kai spat. "No one can hear you down here, old man."
