Heartbroken Ya
Inside the Secret Chamber.
"Title Assassin? Which one?" the woman asked.

"Not really. Lord, this is your Title-level Assassin badge."
"All right, thanks. I'll look for him myself."
Gu Qingshan took the badge and vanished on the spot.
Bars usually had all sorts of defensive and concealment measures in place to
