Chapter 473: Return?
“So… It was my uncle who sent you!” Lily asked as she tilted her head just in time, dodging the poisoned dagger that came flying at her from behind one of the tall columns that littered the large endless corridor.
“How do you know that?” The assassin who threw two more daggers asked in shock as he moved swiftly from behind on cover to another. “Who told you?!”
“I don’t… You just told me!” she said as she flicked her hand. And in the next moment the Assassin who just arrived at his new cover, felt something was wrong… Why was he lying on the ground? Who did that headless body belong to? The moment he understood what happened, he was already dead.
Lily sneered as she slowly approached the corpse and sprayed something on it, making it dissolve at a visible rate.
“Do you believe me now?” she turned and asked Yulian who slowly materialized from behind one of the columns and walked out. His class was really amazing, and until now, only Lily has managed to find him using this Soul Invisibility skill.
“I never doubted you…” he lied. Ever since Lily told him that their uncle was planning to kill them, he had some doubts. Sure, his uncle was a douchebag, but would he really send assassins after his nephew and niece? The answer was clearly yes! “Why did you kill this guy, we could have interrogated him, or at least asked him about the others,” he asked.
“That wouldn’t work, those guys are pretty tight-lipped, if I hadn’t used that soul gas on him earlier, he wouldn’t have even revealed anything,” she spat. “And there are 12 others… The family assassination teams are usually composed of 12 agents!” she clarified, knowing many things about the family’s internal protocols.
“Then there should be 11 others…” Yulian corrected her.
“No, 12!” Lily spat as she eyed the corpse that had completely decomposed into thin air leaving nothing. “Aarak, that stupid old fox, would definitely send an agent to kill them before they leave!”
