The night breeze was slightly cool.
Through the windowpane, Shen Ye saw the man in black standing on the back garden wall.
The assassination attempts-
There had been three in total.
Only then had he been given the name "Blood Seed."
From then on, the world would never be wary of him again, nor would it stop him from doing anything.
From the look of it, the assassination attempts were a form of selection.
During the three days of silence, different labels were assigned based on individual performance.
"Blood Seed" should have been an excellent rating.
Then what were the other labels?
As he pondered this,
the man in black jumped down from the wall and walked toward Shen Ye's room.
As he walked, he drew the sword at his waist.
-The assassination attempt had begun!
Shen Ye's eyes flickered.
What sort of label did he need to survive, officially and safely, after this assassination attempt?
In any case, he couldn't use Truth.
Winning didn't seem to work either.
Both Fate Lines had pointed to death.
Then what should he do?
The man in black had already crossed the back garden.
There was no time to think-
Shen Ye took a deep breath, opened the window, and bellowed:
"Thief!"
His voice carried far through the night.
The man in black stopped.
A second passed, but there was no great stir nearby.
Shen Ye's heart tightened.
That wasn't working!
He bellowed again:
"Caught them cheating! Caught them cheating! Catch the other man! Strip him naked and beat the hell out of him!"
In an instant,
the sounds of doors and windows opening rang out near and far through the night.
Lights came on throughout the entire neighborhood.
It was just past nine in the evening.
Most people hadn't gone to sleep
