But he had no choice; the circumstances forced his hand.
Some were still captured alive. Rangu believed they wouldn't talk, but the agony of torture could drive a person mad.
It would be best to understand them.
However, too many of their people were already exposed.
Continue to kill our own? Rangu mused. That won't be easy.
The enemy, intent on capturing them for interrogation, wouldn't allow them to be killed so easily.
Further action would only lead to more losses.
"Alright, let's observe for a while," Rangu decided. "After all, the sound of the great path for the fifteenth level hasn't appeared yet. The person who triggered the sound of the great path three times in a row might have died in the SSS-level trial for the fifteenth level!"
Rangu considered this assassination attempt a success.
Nearly half of the operations succeeded, and a third of the primary targets were assassinated.
That's enough.
The crucial targets now were those within the aristocratic families.
