Chapter 31: Crushing Defeat
Su Nan looked at the two mangled corpses in front of him, then glanced at the Hidden Dragon lying innocently on the ground. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Through his connection with the magical pet, he had a rough idea of what had happened.
As soon as the two assassins climbed over the courtyard wall, they were spotted by the Hidden Dragon, which had been sleeping in the courtyard.
Initially, it was just curiously observing them. But once the two approached the corridor and drew their weapons, the Hidden Dragon marked them as enemies and launched a ferocious attack, resulting in the immediate elimination of both.
"Next time, remember to leave one alive," he said, patting the Hidden Dragon's head before shifting his focus back to the corpses.
From the muscle density and bone strength of the bodies, it was clear that both men were formal knights, at least of the high knight rank.
The fact that two high-ranking knight assassins had been sent at once, along with their clear motive, indicated who was behind it.
"Since they sent people after me, my brother is probably facing the same situation," Su Nan thought, glancing toward the main building. He extended his senses and indeed heard a commotion in the distance.
Narrowing his eyes, he cast a Shield Spell on himself, and a layer of blue aura enveloped him as he swiftly dashed out of the courtyard toward the main building.
Behind him, the Hidden Dragon let out a hiss and leaped, vanishing into the night.
In the courtyard before the main building, the sounds of clashing metal rang out.
