Naisike held the note, struggling to control the surge of emotions within him.
What happened?! Why was I discovered as soon as I came in? No... It seems the other party already knew I had accepted the mission to assassinate Yan Xing and knew the plan I had devised. And only my so-called assistant and I knew all of this. Was I betrayed by the Assassin's Guild?
Naisike could only arrive at this deduction.
But why would the Assassin's Guild betray me? Aside from damaging the guild's reputation, what good would it do them? If Yan Xing knew I was coming to kill him, why didn't he kill me? Why did he want to meet me instead?
As the note said, Naisike's heart was filled with questions.
To unravel these questions, I must meet Yan Xing.
He knew that choosing to leave immediately might be the correct choice. However, curiosity about the answers behind these questions prompted Naisike to risk meeting Yan Xing.
