After the Starfall Empire officials left, the courtyard fell deathly silent.
Chen Yi tapped the table, his unrestrained malice spreading outward.
He was telling the people behind him that he wanted to kill.
None of the Rank 7s present doubted that he would act.
"Tap."
"Tap."
"Tap."
Each tap on the table felt like it was striking the hearts of those Rank 7 assassins.
This was Chen Yi's current prestige.
Every one of Chen Yi's achievements had been earned through real battles.
Not all Rank 7s were the same.
At last, the tapping stopped.
Chen Yi looked at Ziyuan. "Go on. How do you prove it wasn't you?"
"You didn't carry out the mission to feint an attack on the Holy Church headquarters last time either, did you?"
Within an assassin organization, they could accept people killing one another to rise through the ranks, because only the strong could lead them.
But colluding with outsiders was taboo.
That was betrayal!
No one dared act alongside a traitor.
They did not need to support one another back-to-back, but at the very least, they could not stab each other in the back.
Chen Yi's newly established base had only existed for less than two and a half months...
Yet someone had already blocked its entrance.
The mission assigned to these Rank 7s last time had not been carried out either.
Ziyuan looked around. "Boss, why are you looking at me? You don't think it was me, do you?"
"Boss, you know me. I never take jobs that don't make money. If I were a traitor, I wouldn't be so broke that I couldn't even afford the highest-quality slime in your hands."
"Besides, during the last mission, I held off a Pseudo Rank 7 beside you."
Chen Yi shifted his gaze.
