The outcome of the battle was already clear.
Blood poured from the masked man's wound, rapidly soaking his clothes.
Resentment and indignation filled his eyes.
'I thought this would be the easiest of missions... Who could have imagined I'd die here?'
'To go out like this... I can't rest in peace!'
"You..." He gripped the blade piercing his chest. "Who... who in the world do you work for!?"
He could tell these people didn't know Ye Chutang well, but they were obviously tasked with her protection.
But in the vastness of the Capital City, who could provide such powerful guardians?
Moreover, all his previous investigations had turned up nothing on them. Clearly, they possessed not only strength but also cunning.
Otherwise, how could there have been no word of them at all?
The man in black looked down at him expressionlessly. "You are not worthy to know."
As he spoke, he twisted his wrist. The sword spun in the wound, and blood exploded from the masked man's chest.
