Chapter 119: Sowing Discord
Listening to Orbins’ description, Anvis also roughly understood what they had encountered.
Orbins had taken a liking to an item at an auction house in the Royal Capital, but during the auction, a guest in a VIP box also took interest in the same item.
Normally, the financial resources of the brother and sister duo, Orbins, were absolutely insufficient to compete with a VIP.
But at the end of the bidding, the person in the box gave up on raising the price, and the item was won by Orbins and Shirley.
At first, the siblings thought the matter was over, but after they left the Royal Capital, they suddenly faced an attack by a Fourth Rank Professional.
Orbins never expected that while they both wore Pamir Academy uniforms, someone would dare to openly attempt to assassinate them near the Royal Capital!
The attacker concealed their identity, and instantly used a very powerful Spiritual Attack, clearly with the intention of killing them to silence them.
If it hadn’t been for the relic they had obtained by chance before, that attack would have been enough to kill them three times over!
At the critical moment, Shirley stepped forward, blocking most of the impact for Orbins. However, her own Spirit Sea was nearly shattered under the spiritual assault, leaving her in a near-death state.
Barely blocking the attack, Orbins used the brief time Shirley had bought to escape using a Random Teleportation Scroll.
