Inside a mansion on the edge of the Port Carlin market district.

A half-elf male, who looked slightly blessed, was sitting in a chair, staring nervously at the door of the room, as if waiting for something.

He was none other than Mook, who had made up his mind to kill his master and then fly solo himself.

Although in the chaotic pirate gang, such betrayal plays are quite commonplace.

Some pirate gangs will even kill old captains who can't lead them to more looting for weeks, and then elect a new one.

But Hallette is different!

The "Bloody Hand" captain had never experienced a single rebellion since he went to sea.

Because anyone who tries to betray him ends up either disappearing inexplicably, or being thrown into the sea to feed the fish in the budding state.

After all, Hallette is not one of those brainless idiots who can only vent violence and death.

He is very intelligent and perceptive, not only does he know how to handle his ambitious men, but he also has a very close relationship with Am's shadow thieves.

Otherwise, it would have been wiped out by the fleet sent by Ascatra several times.

If it weren't for the fact that Harriet was now imprisoned and captured, Mook wouldn't have dared to take such a gambling risk.

As soon as he thought of the terrible retribution that he might suffer after the failure of the adventure, his heart was full of struggle and fear, and he immediately asked without raising his head: "How long has it been?" Hasn't anyone come back yet? ”

Another man standing in a dark corner next to him shook his head slightly: "Not yet." But I think it should be soon. After all, Yelinia has received the most rigorous training from the Shadow Thief, and has completed several tasks to eradicate hostile forces. I don't think anyone will escape her assassination. ”

"I hope so.

After so many years of operation, Harlett's power is too huge.

Even I don't know how many secrets he hid or what organizations he worked with.

If we fail to kill him this time, then there will be endless revenge that awaits us.

As for Yelinia, I'm not too worried.

After all, no matter how powerful the power of magic is, the mage itself is vulnerable.

Many times it only takes a dagger from behind to easily solve them.

The seemingly powerful mages who have died in our hands over the years are not one or two.

What's more, this necromancer named Soth is just good at poisoning and deceiving. ”

With that, Mook opened the drawer and took it out and gently put in a pipe-like device.

Seeing this, the man in the dark corner couldn't help but remind, "Suck up less of these damn things provided by the red-robed mage!" It doesn't do any good for your body and spirit. ”

Unfortunately, Mook did not heed the advice, and just as he was about to suck all the powder into his mouth, the closed door was suddenly slammed open.

A strong man in armor rushed in and shouted in panic: "Monster! Monster! There are monsters! Die...... He's dead! Everybody's dead! ”

"What?! What the hell is going on! Make it clear to me! ”

The man standing in the corner rushed forward with a lunge, tugging at the collar of the other man and questioning loudly.

But before he could ask anything, he saw a dull gray hand appear out of thin air, grasp a black dagger without light, and thrust it into the bone slit under the strong man's ear with incredible speed.

Burst!

As a mixture of blood and brains gushed out of the wound, the latter stopped breathing and heartbeat before he could even scream.

Destroy the brain!

Fatal with one hit!

This incomparably familiar assassination method suddenly made the hairs on the man's whole body stand up, and he immediately subconsciously pulled out the short sword on his waist.

Unfortunately, before he could attack, the dull gray-white hand holding the dagger turned into a black mist and disappeared on the spot, as if it had never appeared.

Only the warm corpse lying on the ground, and the large amount of blood flowing from the wound, proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

"What's going on? What's going on! ”

Muk, immediately threw away what he was holding and staggered up from his chair.

However, due to the effects of smoking large amounts of powder, he was visibly not very conscious and unable to maintain balance.

He stood up and walked less than two steps before he fell to the ground with his head down.

Vaguely, through his blurred vision, he vaguely saw a black mist emerging from the shadows in the corner of the room, slowly condensing into the form of a woman, and silently approaching the man standing at the door from behind.

"Be careful!"

Mook shouted inwardly.

But the problem is that he can't control his body at all, and his mouth can't make even the slightest sound.

I could only watch as the deadly dagger thrust through the back of the man's heart, piercing directly through the heart.

The sharpest end tore open the chest, sending dark red blood gushing out like a fountain.

At the same time, the cold negative energy also poured into the body along the wound.

"Yelinia! Sure enough, it's you! For...... Why? How did you become the ghost you are now? ”

The man struggled to turn his head and questioned with what little breath he had left.

I'm sorry!

I can't help myself right now.

The female assassin's red eyes revealed indescribable sadness and apology.

Because just now, she had killed all the living people in this house with her own hands.

Including your most cherished friends, partners on dangerous assassination missions together.

Right now, in the corridors, halls, and courtyards outside, corpses could be seen lying in pools of blood.

The astonishing efficiency of the Shadow Assassin's assassination is vividly demonstrated in this dark environment where you can't see your fingers.

Even the two hired arcane spellcasters were easily killed in their sleep.

Every successful killing made Yelinia feel the extreme pain caused by the tearing of her soul and consciousness, and even had suicidal thoughts more than once.

Unfortunately, this thought was quickly suppressed by the powerful dominance that the cards conferred.

Especially after becoming a shadow servant, she was even cruelly deprived of the ability to cry, no matter how sad she was in her heart.

"Well done! You didn't disappoint me! ”

The moment the man slowly closed his eyes and lost consciousness, Zuo Si appeared in the corridor at the door of the room with Hallette and the leopard.

Behind him, there were also two werewolves who maintained their beastly form.

Obviously, when Yelinia was killing in the house, Zuo Si was not idle.

Instead, he brought men to follow behind to mend the knife and collect the remaining magical energy, life energy, and valuable loot from the deceased.

Especially the spell books of the two mages, as well as the scrolls, potions, and magical equipment that they carry with them.

In addition to this, there are a small number of magic weapons, armor, and a large amount of possessions.

One of the most important secret strongholds of Captain Bloody in Port Carlin, the house's underground warehouse alone contained at least hundreds of "trade bars (bars of precious metal made of gold and silver used to trade large quantities of goods)".

Now it's all Zuo Si's spoils.

Just look at the angry expression on Harlett's face to see what a huge financial loss Mook's defection has caused him.

You must know that a large part of this money was originally used to pay the ransom.

But now?

It's all gone!
