He had realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.

The mission was supposed to be just to assassinate a child, but it ended up costing the Shadow two of its top generals.

Each and every one of them is a renowned assassin; their mere reputation is enough to strike fear into the hearts of others.

But now, they have all fallen one after another.

Upon hearing this, the short man's expression turned serious.

The Shadow Lord said, "With two generals falling one after another, the opponent must have unimaginable strength. We must be cautious!"

The elderly man in the Taoist robe cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Then, his gaze shifted slightly as he looked up at the Shadow Lord, "But what happens next?"

It is now quite obvious that the other side has unexpected trump cards.

But after the investigation is complete, the question remains: should we continue the operation or abandon it?

If you want to fight, it means that even if you know the opponent has powerful trump cards, you still have to take risks.

The Shadow Lord's voice turned icy cold, "The dignity of the Shadow is inviolable. All who violate it shall die!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came, "Before indulging in such unrealistic fantasies, worry about yourself first."

The group was taken aback. Following the sound, they saw a young man wielding a sword enter the hall; it was none other than Xiao Huhai.

The old man in the Taoist robe's gaze darkened. "Who are you?"

Xiao Huhai looked at the three of them and said, "The person who was supposed to be investigating is standing right in front of you, and you can't even recognize him?"

The old man in the Taoist robe frowned slightly. "How did you get in?"

Xiao Huhai said calmly, "Kill them all and let them walk in."

The old man in the Taoist robe looked up at the doorway. The guard was lying there, his scarlet blood staining the ground crimson.

The short man grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and looked at Xiao Huhai with a sinister gaze. "I didn't expect you to dare to come looking for me. How interesting!"

The old man in the Taoist robe stared at him. "What is your purpose?"

Little Hu Hai slowly raised the long sword in his hand. "Nothing special, I'm just preparing to kill you all!"
