Yue King Eight Swords (2)

"Chief, please allow me to say something unpleasant."

"When this bamboo slip appeared."

"And it was confirmed not to have come from any of us."

"It meant that Web of Nets had already been infiltrated without our knowledge—and infiltrated all the way to the highest level."

"Working from the bottom up is difficult."

"But working from the top down is easy."

"You have people among us, and we have people among you."

"Now, we don't even dare fully trust or deploy our own confidants."

"Web of Nets has fallen into a state of paralysis."

"It may not even respond to orders."

The lean Soul Shifter Sword Master spoke in a low voice.

As a Heaven Rank assassin of Web of Nets and a grandmaster, he differed from those rigid, ordinary Web of Nets assassins. In fact, even ordinary Web of Nets assassins were not all mindless dead men.

No matter how superb the methods, they could not completely erase a person's consciousness and emotions.

Just like Jing Ni's pursuit on that rainy night in the original story.

The Web of Nets assassin leading the pursuit of Jing Ni had emotions.

Otherwise, he would not have tried to negotiate with Jing Ni.

He had attempted to make Jing Ni return.

Abort the child.

Then restore her former combat strength and continue carrying out missions for Web of Nets.

If he truly had not a trace of emotion.

Then persuading her to surrender would have been impossible.

He would have simply killed her.

Because every order would have been absolute.

It was merely that many Web of Nets assassins lacked such authority, and their emotions had been worn away by brutal training, making them appear cold-blooded.

Yet once one reached the grandmaster realm.

Even if those flaws could not be completely removed.
