Swish!
In the darkness, Nan Hua could sense several people were moving quickly towards the residence before her. Sneaking from the side door, they rushed over to one of the few buildings there.
"Stay here."
"Yes."
Nan Hua then leapt down and sneaked towards the same building.
Cai Yun Shao and Fei Mao followed her from a certain distance while a bit further away from them, Hou Lin was trying his best to hide his presence. His heart had been erratic from the very moment he followed Nan Hua to the cloth store.
Now that he saw her interacting with so many powerful assassins, he felt that his heart had fallen into the deep pit.
'Would Young Miss be alright?'
Even if he knew that Nan Hua was powerful after countless training with him, he was still worried. She was only 9 years old, going to be 10 in a few months' time. It was understandable that he would be worried that Nan Hua wouldn't be able to conduct herself well in front of so many experienced others.
But he didn't dare to move forward.
Tep!
Nan Hua reached the location and hid behind a pillar, listening in.
"Bad news! There's a fight and it seems that Leader Dou is killed?"
"What? She's a powerful assassin. How can it be possible for her to be killed so easily?"
"That's what I heard!"
"Damn it! Gather everyone and charge to that clothing store! We're going to settle the score."
"What if they have been prepared to receive us?"
"Nonsense! No one should know about us! Go!"
Swish!
Before the group could launch their attack, several needles appeared and killed them instantly. They were stunned before one of them yelled, "Attack…"
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Bodies fell on top one another as if they suddenly lost strength. Not a single one of them saw the trajectory of the attack before they suddenly fell to the ground. The screams were all cut off before they could even finish a sentence.
Those outside were also moving swiftly but before they knew it, they had already fallen one by one.
The quiet night soon no longer turned to be that quiet.
It was eerie.
The two people outside were still waiting. Even if they knew that there was something that happened inside, they didn't dare to move forward in fear that they would be implicated in the battle.
No, they were not afraid.
