"I never imagined, Junior Brother Ling Chen. Despite our meticulous planning, we still let you slip by. We underestimated you."
Lu BaiChuan shook his head and sighed in disappointment. He couldn't believe their operation had failed, especially after they had attached such importance to it.
This assassination attempt had seemed foolproof. Yet, a vulnerability had appeared right before Ling Yin. She could actually pinpoint their positions and movements in the darkness. Such an ability was unheard of.
"Speak! Who hired you?" Xu Ruoyan demanded coldly, pressing her Long Sword against Lu BaiChuan's neck.
Lu BaiChuan shook his head. "Shadow Tower never discloses client information. Besides, I genuinely don't know who the client is."
They were merely assassins carrying out orders, with no direct contact with their employer.
