Su Xiao's thoughts raced. Based on what he knew, the Witch was most likely a Tier Five Contractor, with a small chance that she had already advanced to Tier Six.
For a Contractor of that rank to have learned that he had previously been assassinated was exceedingly unlikely. But considering the Witch's identity as a member of the Brigade, it wasn't impossible.
The Brigade Leader's rank was bizarrely high. Su Xiao even suspected that he was among the very top echelon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have created an organization like the Brigade.
If that was the case, it wasn't impossible for the Witch to have learned about this through the Brigade Leader. As for whether the Brigade had hired someone to assassinate him or whether it had been done by a Brigade member, Su Xiao felt that was unlikely.
The assassin clearly didn't understand Reincarnation Paradise well. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen that moment to strike.
"Not for now. I've already received news from the Void."
"Oh~"
The Witch appeared unfazed, but she was actually somewhat disappointed. She really wanted the bloodline-type item, Tainted Blood. To a new Contractor, that thing was priceless. The Witch had wanted to get herself a 'worker.'
Though the Witch had hidden it well, Su Xiao confirmed one thing: the person who had assassinated him had come from the Void, most likely from the Arcane Eternal Star.
"You weren't trying to get information out of me, were you?"
The Witch stared at Su Xiao with burning eyes. Her pitch-black eyes resembled two black gemstones.
"..."
"Just as I thought."
The Witch's speech returned to its normal speed for the first time. Though her face was wreathed in smiles, she cursed inwardly.
"You old schemers. Hmph~"
Leaving those words behind, the Witch departed. She hadn't gone far
