"You—"
The guard finally realized something, and a profound sense of unease washed over him!
He opened his mouth to shout, but the other man was faster!
A blur flashed past his eyes, and in the next instant, his throat tightened!
"Ugh—"
The words died in his throat.
He grabbed his attacker with both hands, struggling with all his might, but was horrified to find he couldn't budge him an inch!
Within a few breaths, a sharp pain shot through him. He gradually stopped struggling, and his hands fell limply to his sides.
King Yan Nan was stunned by the sudden turn of events unfolding before him.
Th-this—
While he was still frozen in shock and confusion, the young guard had already efficiently laid the man down, hiding the body behind a tree where it wouldn't be easily spotted.
Dusk was falling, and the area was remote and quiet. Even if the others realized something was amiss, it would take them some effort to find anything.
Then, the young guard turned and walked toward him.
