The Assassin Who Failed / A Commission from Alyssa

We are deeply saddened by the passing of your sister and her family.

But public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters.

You made a grave mistake by mobilizing the Armorless Union without authorization, and now they've all perished here..."

Lazurite Roy of the Azure Gold clearly didn't want to hear his explanation.

Chapter 270 The Assassin Who Failed

Before White could say anything more, a throwing knife shot out from the woman's hand and embedded itself in front of her.

"You need to understand one thing: we're not here to ask you to go back, but to take you back to be held accountable."

"If you remain stubborn, you will be met with arrows from the Blacksteel."

"Monique, calm down." Roy glanced at his teammate beside him before looking up at White, his eyes turning icy cold.

"For the sake of friendship, I don't want to make things too ugly, but if you still hold onto unrealistic ideas, with Ingra as an example, then losing another family in Kazimierz won't be a big deal."

Upon hearing Roy's words, White finally stopped being stubborn, because he understood just how ruthless this person who kept calling him a friend could actually be.

And if the Armorless Union were to actually turn on him and his family...

"Alright, I'll go back with you."

However, I still believe that the person named Ibuki Suika is the murderer who killed the Ingra family.

Even if she tries to hide it..."

After White finished speaking to Roy, he turned and led his men back to Kawaleriel.

After watching White leave, Monique looked at Roy with some confusion.

"Aren't you going back? Are you planning to stay here and collect these people's corpses, or are you going to catch up with that guy named Suika?"

"Aren't you curious?" Roy looked in the direction Suika had left and a slight smile played on his lips.

Curiosity is a killer's greatest taboo...

"Go if you want, but if you die, I won't collect your body."

After saying that Monique turned and chased after White and his group who were returning.

Roy, meanwhile, headed off alone towards Suika's direction.

Suika had no idea what happened next, and even if she did, she wouldn't be interested.

However, having killed someone again, she quickened her pace and arrived at the small town where she planned to rest the next day, which she was supposed to reach the next day.

After checking into a hotel, she asked about the surrounding attractions, then took her camera and strolled out.

That evening, as she sat on a bench by the roadside, watching the crowds come and go while eating pizza, a man who seemed both strange and familiar sat down next to her.

"Phew... you run really fast..."

After sitting down Roy looked at Suika, somewhat shocked.

He considered himself to be a fast runner, but he hadn't even caught a glimpse of Suika after chasing her all the way.

The scariest thing is that she didn't even leave any footprints.

One of the most important methods an assassin uses to track down an enemy is by tracking their footprints.

Along the way, he even thought the other person hadn't taken this route at all.

Just as he was about to give up, he received news that Suika had appeared here and stayed at the hotel.

He estimated the distance and was stunned.

The distance from where the enemy was attacked at noon is nearly eighty kilometers.

Traveling 80 kilometers in one afternoon... wouldn't be a big problem with a vehicle, it could be done in an hour or two, but on foot...

Having no other option, he had to call someone to call a car to bring him over.

Once there, following the informant's directions, he finally found Suika eating by the roadside.

"Um, is it fast? What if we don't hurry and someone catches up with us again?"

Suika finished the pizza in one gulp, wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, and then spoke.

"If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you running so fast?" Roy leaned down and looked down at Suika, trying to put pressure on her.

"A guilty conscience? I have a clear conscience and never feel guilty."

Kazimierz, on the surface, is a kingdom of knights, but in reality, it's a place of petty scheming and despicable behavior.

It's not even as good as Victoria, who I think is rotten to the core.

Suika retorted without hesitation.

"By the way, could you move over a bit? I'm here to do some street photography and look at the pretty ladies."

You're in my way, you man."

Before Roy could even reply, Suika shoved him aside, moving him several steps away.

Before he could react, he saw Suika pick up her camera and start snapping photos of a white-haired Kuranta girl not far away.

The sound of the camera caught the attention of the Kuranta girl, who looked over and was somewhat angry when she realized someone was taking pictures of her without her consent.

But when she saw that the person taking the photos was a girl younger than herself, she didn't know how to get angry.

Suika then took the photo, quickly wrote a few words on the back, and went to the other person's side.

"You look so beautiful, sister. This photo is for you."

"Um, thank you..." The Kuranta girl took the photo and looked at it. In the photo, she was carrying a pile of food and eating as she walked. She remembered that Suika seemed to have written something on her back earlier, so she turned the photo over to look at it.

--To the legendary muffin-hair glutton Oguri Cap.

"Um, my name isn't Oguri Cap..."

The Kuranta girl wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she found that the girl from before was no longer there.

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Suika hummed a little tune as she skipped happily on her way back to the hotel.

Kazimierz truly lives up to its reputation as the land of horse girls. Besides Kuranta, who looks remarkably like Oguri Cap today, she has seen several other Kuranta who resemble other horse girls from her memories.

Roy followed behind her, and feeling somewhat helpless, he realized that she really didn't seem to take him seriously.

He had considered taking action to defeat his opponent.

But every time he had this thought, his sixth sense was frantically warning him.

He was warned that if he took action, he would encounter unpredictable and terrifying events.

So even though there were few pedestrians on the road and the other person had their back to him, he didn't have the courage to make a move.

"Hey bro, you're practically following me to my door... If you don't have a place to stay, I recommend you go to the lobby. I saw some chairs there when you came in; you can easily spend the night there."

Suika's sudden words startled Roy, who was deep in thought.

He looked up and realized that he had unknowingly followed the other person to their room.

"Feel sorry!"

After leaving two words, Roy turned and left without hesitation.

Upon exiting the building, she saw a car parked in front of the door, with Monica sitting in the driver's seat waiting for her.

"Oh, you messed up?" Monica raised an eyebrow as she saw Roy walk out of the hotel empty-handed.

"Let's go back, we can't afford to mess with this guy..." Roy didn't say much, and after getting into the car, he closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to talk.

"Hey, we're on the same level. I came to pick you up late at night, you should at least say thank you..." Monica angrily slapped the steering wheel.

"Thank you!" Roy didn't open his eyes, not because he was aloof, but because he was somewhat dejected.

The girl named Ibuki Suika was so much younger than him, but he didn't even have the courage to draw his weapon in front of her...

Chapter 271 A Request from Elisa

"Is the opponent very strong? They don't seem that way!"

Monique glanced at Roy beside her; she knew her colleague's abilities and personality quite well.

Those assassins were people he had spent a lot of time training, and they all died here before he could even recoup his investment. Given his petty nature, he wouldn't let White and Ibuki Suika get away with it.

She drove over to help Roy dispose of the target's body.

But the result was completely unexpected.

Roy returned empty-handed.

"We didn't fight, but my gut tells me that if I did, I'd die..."

This was a sense of oppression I hadn't even felt when facing Blacksteel.

Seeing Monique's eager expression, Roy gave her a reminder.

After hearing his words, Monique lowered her eyes.

"So strong, even the two of us together can't take her down?"

"Sure, at most the Armorless Union will hold a meeting tomorrow to re-elect the two Lazurite. Although that Platinum guy has never said it, he has probably been coveting our positions for a long time."

We all died here, and she just happened to go up and fill the void."

Roy admitted that he was indeed cunning and ruthless, but also a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.

When he encounters an opponent weaker than himself or of equal strength, he will try every means to eliminate the opponent and achieve his goal.

But if he feels the gap is too big, he's not stupid; he'll never deliberately act tough when he should back down.

After all, an assassin who is too reckless doesn't live long.

Upon hearing Roy's words, Monique's pupils dilated; she hadn't expected Roy to speak so highly of the girl.

It's important to know that the fact that these two could become the only two Lazurite in the Armorless Union shows that their combat strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

It can be said that in the path of assassination, apart from the three Blacksteel Grand Masters at the top, they have never been afraid of anyone.

Even under these circumstances, he was so frightened by a little girl of unknown strength that he dared not make a move.

As both an old friend and a long-time rival, Monique didn't think he was deliberately trying to fool her.

But that's precisely what made her even more curious.

On the other side, Suika stood by the window, watching the car leave with a sense of melancholy.

The two current Lazurite are still somewhat Firstborn and naive.

After a few years, when he became a seasoned veteran and realized that he was just cannon fodder in the Commercial Union, he decisively quit his job and joined the army of hand sanitizer sellers, even trying to trick Platinum into becoming one of their hand sanitizer saleswomen.

Looking back now, it's quite interesting.

After watching the car drive away, Suika walked back to the bedside and picked up the Shanghai Dolls she had just finished cleaning, placing it on the bedside table.

"Shanghai, I'm leaving the night in your hands!"

The next morning, she slung her small shoulder bag over her shoulder and continued her journey.

This time, no one came to stop them, and even though they lost their Armorless Union, it was as if nothing had happened yesterday.

As for White, the price he'll have to pay for this is considerable, Suika needs to be concerned about that.

A few days later, she finally left Kazimierz and returned to Victoria.

"You, you can't even sit still when you're watching a game."

Do you know how shocked I was when I saw you on TV?

Even if you're very skilled, they're still locals. If you, a mere visitor to see a performance, get into a conflict with them on their turf, what if something happens?

Elisa immediately began criticizing Suika upon meeting her.

Suika waved her hand dismissively.

"I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? Besides, he lost his temper with me, a spectator, because he couldn't beat his opponent on the field. If I backed down with someone like that, wouldn't that just make him smug?"

And you're becoming more and more authoritative and dignified as a principal..."

"You, you!" Elisa was getting a headache from Suika's inexplicable confidence in her own abilities, her fearlessness, and her stubbornness.

"I remember you said you were going to Kjerag next, right?"

Knowing that Suika would never mistake her identity, Elisa changed the subject to Suika's next destination.
