Assassination System-Chapter 175 Probing

It was a cold night, inside a certain room somewhere in the Commerce Block of the Outer Sect Disciples Region.

Malachi's figure calmly laid on his bed.

His laid-back expression indicated that he seemed to be exhausted, his snores filled the air and the balanced bobbing of his chest and the minimal movements of his organs along with his rapid eye movement indicated that he's in deep sleep.

It was at this moment that a noiseless spark of lightning arrived before the doors of his room. Transforming into a slender-figure clad in black robes. The figure flicked its wrist, sending a cloud of colorless smoke that couldn't be seen by the naked eye towards the sleeping Malachi.

Malachi still slept as soundly as ever, without any hint of waking up.

Crash~

A sound of a dull object striking the wooden floor echoed out.

Malachi was still heavily sleeping, without any reaction whatsoever.

The figure gave a slight push on the door, Malachi was in his own residence and was carefree so the door was merely closed, not locked and it opened with one push. Staring at the sleeping Malachi, the figure unveiled a dagger that gleamed in a cold light of green.

Under the light of the moon that slightly illuminated the room. The figure's dagger looked ominous and dangerous. Holding back her killing intent, the figure narrowed her eyes and observed the sleeping Malachi.

His breathing was steady and his organs were in deep hibernation, all of his senses showed no signs of reactions and upon noticing all of these, the figure heaved a sigh of relief and the cautiousness in her eyes changed into tranquility.

Moving with silenced footsteps, she raised her dagger and aimed at his crucial artery.

At the moment that her dagger descended on his neck, Malachi's hand suddenly shot out like a meteor and grabbed her wrist, and his eyes that were closed throughout the entire day snapped open with a light of killing intent.

Malachi's Divine Soul Realm Cultivation base came into life, but before he realized it, Natalie's figure slipped away from his grasp before transforming into a bolt of lightning that escaped through the ceiling and fled towards the distant horizon.

Malachi wanted to give chase, but as soon as he lifted his head, his eyes widened in shock when he saw the speed that Natalie utilized in escaping. From the moment of her attack until her escape, only three breaths passed and in another short moment, she was now several hundreds of meters away from him.

Clicking his tongue, footsteps echoed outside of his door and the concerned figures of Stanley and Finley appeared, still wearing their nightwear.

"Cover your noses! Don't inhale the air in here!" Malachi warned and the two hurriedly raised the collar of their shirts and covered their noses and mouths.

"What happened in here, Malachi? Did an Assassin came in and tried to kill you?" Stanley asked in concern, staring at the hole on the ceiling and the traces of Spiritual Qi usage, he accurately deduced what happened.

"Yeah, an Assassin came here and tried to kill me. Fortunately, I'm not so retarded as you guys and kept a Defensive Artifact on my body at all times to detect for killing intent and poison..." Malachi glared at the two, if the Assassin targeted them, then there's no way that he could save them.

"Who actually dares to offend the three of us, core members of the Mercenary Pavilion?" Finley knitted his eyebrows in thought while Malachi replied, "It should be those bastards from the so-called righteous path..."

"Righteous path, my ass! How dare they act so clean when they're even filthier than us!" Stanley violently cursed and the three brothers stared at the distant skies with hatred visible in their eyes.

Natalie soared through the skies. She still felt shaken about what happened earlier. Malachi's body looked so deep in sleep, but why was it possible that he reacted that fast? Clicking her tongue, she redirected her direction and landed on the gates of the Fragrant Peak Pavilion.

Though her pre-emptive attack failed, her efforts weren't futile. At the least, she acquired valuable information that she could use against those three.

When she finally arrived, she was greeted by the sight of Dan standing on the doors of their room.

"Natalie, I also read the documents, could it be that you went there and tried assassinating them yourself?" His voice indicated his concern and Natalie hung her head low, "I did and failed, but don't worry, I gathered some valuable information that could help us in eliminating them..."

Dan shook his head and didn't argue anymore, dragging her inside the room, he carried her on the bed and placed her on the left side. With him in between, Dan said, "Let's go sleep, for now. Tomorrow is the time where we plan everything and we need sufficient energy to do that..."

Natalie who expected some activities before sleeping became slightly disappointed. Because of what happened earlier, her body was still tense and couldn't relax. Squirming under the sheets, Dan's eyes snapped open and wryly smiled.

Stretching his hand in her robes, Natalie suppressed her moans as Dan manifested his skills and satisfied her desires.
