Book 2: Chapter 3
My body moved unconsciously.
I jumped down from the roof and landed in a back alley without making noise. I made full use of 【Eyesight Enhancement】,【Night Vision】,【Hearing Enhancement】, and 【Smell Enhancement】, and found no other presence but the assassins.
I wasn’t sure if the nobleman was a villain or not, but I just felt that I had to do something.
「The first one will be for Viscount Nougu who was destroyed by you.」
The assassin readied a crossbow; it is easy to carry and has a high accuracy.
When the arrow was shot, it pierced the nobleman’s left palm. His face distorted in pain, but the nobleman still showed no emotion.
「…Hmm. So the blood flowing through the “Cold-Blooded Lord” is the also red, huh…」
I was already 10 meters behind them when the next arrow was nocked.
The nobleman should have obviously noticed me coming up behind them, but he didn’t even look at me, let alone change his expression.
