Chapter 175: The Assassination Failed
"You can blame yourself for provoking the wrong people," said the leader of the Black Cloaks, preparing to use a dagger.
He aimed it at Daniel's throat, but suddenly something stopped him.
"Hah? This? How!?" What stopped him was a hand—Daniel's hand.
Daniel slowly opened his eyes and, with his golden pupils, scanned all the uninvited guests in his room.
"I don't remember inviting any guests," he growled, and with a flick of his wrist, crushed the leader of the Black Cloaks.
"Retreat! Damn it, now!" For a moment, the leader's face contorted in pain, but he endured it and pulled back, ordering a retreat.
Although they outnumbered him and could have killed him, they didn't want to take that risk. Their goal was to make it look like a suicide.
According to their intel, this boy had a good relationship with the leader of the Awakened Association in this city, and they couldn't let the law enforcement or investigators get involved.
Especially considering the boy was no ordinary person. He had gained a lot of fame recently and was still regarded as an unknown genius who had defeated the number one ranked genius of the country in a ranking event.
The Black Cloaks immediately began to exit as soon as they heard the leader's command. Each one made their way to the windows and left.
One of the Black Cloaks, whose hand had been severed, pulled out a circular object from his inventory and slammed it onto the ground.
A thick cloud of smoke enveloped the room, successfully disorienting Daniel's spiritual senses.
