Chapter 1292: I Am An a.s.sa.s.sin With No Sense Of Direction“I am an a.s.sa.s.sin with no feelings,” Rex said coldly as he swung his black windbreaker over, and walked out of the Bastie Prison.
“I am an a.s.sa.s.sin with no sense of direction,” Connie said meekly as she put her helmet on.
Rex, who was walking in front, stumbled and almost fell. He turned around and knocked on Connie"s helmet with his fist as he said, “Can you not wear this tortoisesh.e.l.l when you"re a.s.sa.s.sinating someone?”
“Master, didn"t you say that an a.s.sa.s.sin has to be mysterious?” Connie said with grievance as she lifted her visor.
“If you killed those who saw you, you would be very mysterious.” Rex pressed his lips together. She really was a blockhead.
“That"s… too cruel, isn"t it?” Connie was hesitant.
“Bear in mind that an a.s.sa.s.sin is never kind. Once you"re kind, the one that"s dead could very well be you,” Rex said with all seriousness as he looked into Connie"s eyes. After that, he pulled Connie"s helmet off, and threw it at the bicycle 50 meters away casually. It landed nicely into the bicycle"s basket.
“Whew… seriously. Even if I don"t wear it when I kill someone, I can still wear it to keep myself warm on the way…” Connie grumbled as she s.h.i.+vered.
Rex"s eyelids twitched. Why did he take in such a disciple?
No matter what, he had to go on teaching her since she was his disciple, so he coldly said, “Let"s go.”
“Oh.” Connie quickly caught up with him.
Two shadows moved in Chaos City"s night sky like cats, flying across roofs silently as they moved towards the northern part of the city.
“Are you certain? Princess Connie is really hiding in that restaurant?” In a room where an oil lamp was lit to cast a faint yellow glow over it, three orcs were sitting around at a wooden table, whispering to each other.
“Mm-hm. She always wears a strange sh.e.l.l on her head wherever she goes, but the bracelet she wore on her hand, which was given by the chief, gave her away. There is an opal on it, and I happened to see it the day before, so I stalked her for two days. I can basically confirm that she"s Princess Connie based on her figure and the bracelet,” a skinny orc said with a nod.
“Hmph. I can"t believe the princess of the falk tribe would actually end up among service staff in a restaurant. We"ve been having such a hard time looking for her. Now that we"ve found her, we will go over tomorrow morning again to make sure, then we can set out to capture her back on the same night. The chief has promised us a lot of goodies. This time, we will return to become big shots in the tribe.”
The orcs all laughed delightedly. They were the ones who had made a great contribution in this rebellion. As long as they could successfully capture and bring Princess Connie back, they would be able to enjoy a life of unlimited women and money. On top of that, they would also become the new chief"s aides.
After they were done planning for tomorrow"s operation, one of them stayed up for night watch duty, while the others went to sleep, taking a good rest to prepare themselves for tomorrow"s operation.
“It"s here. Make sure you do a clean job. I"ll only wait for you for 10 minutes,” Rex said coldly after the two of them landed silently at the entrance of an alley.
“Alright.” Connie took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the dagger, and dashed towards the second courtyard.
“It"s that side.” A hand grabbed her shoulder. Rex pointed to the courtyard on the opposite side speechlessly. How awkward would it be if she a.s.sa.s.sinated the wrong people?
“Master, why didn"t you say so earlier?” Connie rolled her eyes at Rex, and turned to dash towards the other courtyard. She tapped her toes on the wall, arched her back, and landed silently in the courtyard without making any sound.
That"s my fault too? Rex was speechless.
After entering the courtyard nimbly, Connie quickly got close to the three rooms near the courtyard like a black cat as she stuck close to the wall. Her erected kitten ears trembled slightly as she listened to the slight sounds of movements in the room.
The three rooms were all occupied. There were two people each in the rooms on the left and right side, while the room in the center had only one person in it. From the sound of their breathing, she could deduce that they were already in deep sleep. This would be the best chance to a.s.sa.s.sinate them.
“Zzz~ Zzz~”
Just as Connie was about to use the dagger to pry open the bolt and enter one of the rooms, she heard soft snoring coming from the side.
There are more people? Connie"s hand shook. She was already very nervous, and that made her almost drop her dagger. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then held on to the roof, and swung to the other side of the room. She saw an orc with a mace in his arms as he leaned against a wall, sound asleep.
This is the fellow who killed my brother! Connie"s grip on her dagger tightened. Her face turned paler as memories of the day the rebellion army marched into the palace and scenes of the ma.s.sacre flooded into her mind. This was the one who was always by Gary"s side. He used that very mace to kill her young brother.
Revenge! I want revenge! That was the only thought in her mind. She jumped down from the roof and pulled her dagger out silently. She plunged the dagger accurately into the sleeping orc"s heart just like how she practiced usually.
“Ugh…”
That orc woke up with a start and stared wide-eyed at Connie, who was standing in front of him, in disbelief.
However, before he could make a sound, the dagger, which was pulled out from his heart, was already stabbed into his mouth, coming out from the back of his head.
Connie pressed onto the orc"s head and pulled the dagger out slowly, letting him lean against the floor and slowly slide down to the ground. All the while, not a single sound was made.
Connie took two steps back and looked at the orc lying in a pool of blood. Her breathing became heavier. Her hand that was holding the dagger was trembling. There was blood splattered all over her body and her face. She felt disgusted with the smell of blood, but her eyes were gleaming.
She had killed this sc.u.mbag and avenged her brother!
When she escaped from the Twilight Forest alone, she didn"t think that she would ever be able to get her revenge. She had been weak ever since she was young, so how would she be a match for Gary and his henchmen?
However, she had killed this opponent she used to think was undefeatable. That was a very miraculous feeling.
After she calmed herself down a little, Connie"s gaze turned cold again. She looked at the three rooms, and hesitated a little before walking to the room on the right.
The orc sleeping in the middle room was the strongest, so she planned to kill the other four weaker orcs before dealing with the strongest one.
She lifted the bolt with her dagger, and entered the room very smoothly. Meanwhile, the two orcs who were snoring loudly had not the slightest idea about it.
The sharp dagger slit the two orcs" throats open easily, and she cut their heads off. Until their death, the two orcs did not even manage to make a sound.
After she wiped the dagger clean on the orcs" clothes, Connie entered the room on the left, and cut the two orcs" heads off using the same way.
Bam!
Just then, the door that was half-closed was kicked open violently. A huge orc was standing at the door, looking at Connie, who was throwing an orc"s head onto the ground. He said in disbelief, “It"s you!”
Connie looked at the orc who had suddenly appeared, and was equally fl.u.s.tered. Why was he awake? However, after getting a clear look at his face, the fire of vengeance burned in her eyes once more. He was the one who killed her mother!
That orc lifted his long knife, and coldly said, “Hmph, I can"t believe you actually came over yourself, and even killed my brothers. Today, I"m going to bring your—”
Stab…
A section of a sharp sword emerged from his heart and interrupted his sentence.
“Since you"re going to kill everyone, you should start from the strongest. That way, even if anything happens, it would be easier to deal with. Get it?” Rex said as he pushed that orc away gently and looked at Connie, who was covered in blood.
“Yes, Master.” Connie looked at Rex and nodded hard. After that, she dove into his embrace and started crying softly.
