The man's eyes lit up. Right, when they accepted this secret mission, the reward was triple the usual assassination reward. It was so much that he knew that he wouldn't be able to waste it all so quickly.
Hmm, the leader was right, he better thought about how to use it.
While the man let his imagination run wild, the leader was looking into the distance. He had already killed everyone from Yi Wa Organization before it was dawn. But there were more soldiers of Hai Family here.
It would be impossible for them to kill everyone.
They had limited stamina and strength.
'I better rest here until there are reinforcement before departing.' He lowered his eyes and looked at the bamboo stick that Master Jiu gave to him back then. There was nothing exactly remarkable about it, but he still felt that he wanted to keep this bamboo stick.
After all, he had never met with any of the higher ranked assassins before.
…
Prince Yang Lu's Side
Bang!
Sensing the sudden light, Prince Yang Lu's eyes narrowed slightly. He watched as Hai Fa Xia walked into the room with several soldiers following him on his back. There was no emotion within his dark pupil.
"Your Highness, get back." The guard straightened his position. Even though it hurt to move, he couldn't possibly let anyone came near Prince Yang Lu and harmed the young prince.
"Do you really think that you can stop me?" Hai Fa Xia stopped not far from them with the soldier in front of him put his sword beside Prince Yang Lu's guard's neck. With the poison was still in his bloodstream, it was hard for them to move.
"What do you want?" Prince Yang Lu asked straightforwardly. He was still holding back the pain from the poison, yet his expression remained impassive as if he didn't feel anything.
Beside him, Mu Fei Xin was holding onto his arm tightly. She looked at Hai Fa Xia with wariness as she was worried that he would do something to Prince Yang Lu with the way he did things.
Kyaaa!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The sound and cries of children came from the front.
Prince Yang Lu furrowed his eyebrows as he recalled that there were indeed a lot of officials who brought their children when they paid a visit to this place. As for their wives or concubines, they belonged to Hai Family and must have betrayed their family for the Hai Family.
How laughable.
"The children are all brought here." Hai Fa Xia looked at Prince Yang Lu. "There are also a lot of soldiers ready on the wall to face against the force that are coming. Do you really think that it's possible for you to survive in this situation without changing side, Your Highness?"
"What you want, is nothing more than a puppet, isn't it?" Prince Yang Lu was calm.
The two men were looking at each other with eyes that reflected nothing in their heart. it was as if everything that they wanted to say was already understood by the other party without even any word to say.
"My Aunt told you?"
"No."
