"I apologize for our Assassin's Guild's negligence this time..." Li Jiya knew that to get information out of Terence, she couldn't afford to sour their relationship. If Terence were to leave Nuta City, finding him again would be difficult.
Yan Xing scoffed. "There's much more you need to apologize for. The Magic Tracking Potion on my clothes—that was your doing, wasn't it?"
"Yes," Li Jiya admitted straightforwardly.
She knew such tracking tricks couldn't work for long on a top-tier thief like Terence; indeed, she had already lost his trail yesterday.
Yan Xing sneered. "I'm not in the mood to dwell on what has happened. But this assassination failed because of a leak from your Assassin's Guild. Shouldn't my deposit be fully returned?"
Now, other assassins were also hounding the Assassin's Guild for their surety money. The Guild was in disarray after last night's events.
How to manage the aftermath and handle the situation had yet to be decided.
