1702: Where Is King?

Where Is King?

King and Queen were absolute nightmares to the international assassin and mercenary world. They haunted the sleep of all assassins and mercenaries, making them feel a shiver from the depths of their souls.2

Seeing these assassins retreat one after another, attempting to escape over the low wall behind them, Nangong Nuannuan smiled faintly. "Looks like you guys know me."

The assassins were terrified. The remaining 12 assassins made the same choice at the same time—

Run!

Everyone prepared to jump over the wall to escape. Then, they scattered in all directions. Perhaps they would be lucky and Queen would chase after some of them, leaving the others to escape.

However, these assassins had only heard of Nangong Nuannuan's notoriety. They had never really fought against her.

The two who were running at the front were about to jump off the wall, but their legs were cut off by the cards Nuannuan had thrown.

Just as the two of them were about to jump off the wall, they suddenly realized that they had become shorter. Then, as their bodies distorted, they threw themselves against the wall.

They initially wanted to run and jump again, but they felt a sharp pain under their feet. When they looked, they realized—

Both their feet were gone!

Only their calves were on the ground.

The killers let out a series of horrified screams and scattered in all directions. They did not dare to run anymore and stood rooted still on the spot.

Nangong Nuannuan glanced around at the killers who were so frightened they looked like little wives who had been raped by bandits. She asked coldly, "Who sent you here?"

The killers were trembling like they were sifting chaff. They were about to bite at the poison pills in their mouths to commit suicide, but Nuannuan said, "Actually, you don't have to die."

The assassins who were about to bite off the poison were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After all, they had fallen into Queen's hands. They never imagined they would be given a chance to survive.

"Your bodies have only been injected with a mild substance. I can help you remove it, and from now on, you will follow me. My only request is that you tell me who sent you here? Why did you try to kill them? Also, where is your lair?"

"What right do you have to say that you won't kill us? What if you go back on your word after we tell you?"

One assassin asked a question, but another immediately stabbed his dagger into the other's neck.

"Idiot, Q..."

Before he could finish his sentence and say someone's name, he received a hint from Nangong Nuannuan's eyes. He was so frightened he hurriedly said, "Ma'am, you always have your word. How could you lie to us? Ma'am, thank you for sparing our brothers' lives. From now on, we are your people."

"Well, then tell us. Who sent you here to kill people?"

"King." The assassin did not hesitate to reveal the mastermind behind it.

"King?" Nuannuan glanced at him and confirmed that he was telling the truth.

"Yes. King asked us to kill the brother and sister."

"Why?"

"Because King said that one of them was comparable to the world's best hacker, Dan Qi. He asked us to kill them all."

"Where is King?"

"We don't know either. He only gave us orders."

"How did he give you orders?"

"We have information on King. Every time he issues a mission, we can see it through fingerprints, facial bones, and corneas. As long as we accept the mission, we can get a deposit for the reward."
