Chapter 200: Blackbird. Take two.
Lee was engrossed in thoughts and didn’t hear what the merchant next to him blabbed about. His thoughts ranged from why the hell did I ever think to start the revenge? to what am I supposed to do with my life?
Fortunately, in the long struggle of self pity and remorse, it was the common sense that won in the end.
’What the fuck am I doing?’ Lee thought, ’The whole revenge thing was supposed to be something fun! Something to spice up this life! Why I’m pussying out all of sudden? So what if she’s super powerful now? That only makes it more interesting!’
Yes, during the years he was going back and forth with the idea of revenge, and yes, he had suffered because of it. But the drawbacks were caused by his own foolishness and, objectively speaking, his life surely was much more fun than it could’ve ever been in Sunwell. His life wasn’t boring at all!
And why couldn’t he become the male version of Blackbird for a change? Obviously he would never ever in his lives dress up as a women again, but the prospect of becoming an assassin for one job actually sounded amusing.
The country merchant kept rambling on, but Lee was already busy drawing plans. He couldn’t devise anything specific, though, and mostly outlined the next course of action.

They sat in a corner of a packed alehouse in the outer part of the Celestial Abyss sect. Lee found the man after many suggested the guy was the one he needed to consult if he wanted to attempt anything shady in the neighborhood.
