Chapter 73 Murderous Intent
Yelena must’ve sensed the murderous intent too, which was why she returned to her room to change into her night suit. Emrys was already aware of Yelena’s secret identity.
Back when they first met and exchanged blows, he ascertained she was an assassin because no ordinary person could fight the way she did.
However, he didn’t look into it because, no matter what she did, she was his sister. Additionally, she still doted on him as she did in the past.
Therefore, Emrys respected Yelena’s decisions.
He watched Yelena bolt toward the source of the murderous intent. Just as he was about to follow her after jumping out of the window, he ceased his movements. I sense another killing intent! There are two assassins here tonight!
Frowning, he speculated, In this case, their target may not be Yelena. It’s possible one purposefully led Yelena away. Is their target me or the others in the building? I don’t know why they’re here, but they’re as good as dead for barging into this place.
Concurrently, the assassin hiding in the darkness had spotted Emrys. Upon confirming Emrys was one of his targets, he prepared to strike.
Unbeknownst to him, his murderous intent had already exposed him, even though he thought he had concealed it well.
Emrys intentionally turned away, leaving his back exposed to the assassin.
The assassin was vigilant as he patiently waited for a few more minutes before attacking.
In a flash, he flung a sharp blade toward his target.
Right before the tip of the blade reached Emrys‘ back, he twirled around. He fixed a cold gaze on the assassin, frightening the latter.
Trembling, the assassin thought, None of my peers has a look as terrifying as his! Still, he’s going to die!
While stifling his fear, he watched his weapon glint coldly as it zipped toward his target’s heart.
What happened next bewildered him.
The blade did stab into Emrys‘ chest, right where his heart was located, with great force. However, instead of piercing into his flesh, the blade was stuck, as though his muscles were made of metal.
hea
an expert? The color drained from the assassin’s face. During his brief daze, he felt something smash into his shoulder. Soon, he was dragged away from the mansion’s vicinity.
Is
He’s not an expert! He’s a godd*mn grandmaster! After his b*dy was hauled hundreds of meters away,

he felt as though his soul had departed his b*dy, and he was unable to return to his senses.
Suddenly, Emrys cracked the assassin’s rib with a kick and interrogated, “Who sent you?”
The assassin gritted his teeth in pain but kept quiet.
Information about clients had to be kept a secret. That was the basic principle of the assassins.
“Not going to tell me, are you?” Emrys kicked again, breaking more of the assassin’s ribs and puncturing the latter’s innards.
Blood poured from the assassin’s nose and mouth as he roared, “I won’t tell you anything! You may as well just kill me!”
“Kill you? Oh, no. I’m not letting you off that easily,” Emrys sneered and applied the reversed” version of Needle of Ninth Revival on the assassin.
The assassin endured the agony brought on by the needles quite successfully until Emrys stuck the fifth needle in his b*dy.
Then, he started to wince.
By the seventh needle, he thought he was in hell.
Finally, his mental defense was shattered when the tenth needle was stabbed into his b*dy. “Kill me! Please, just kill me!”
His face was scrunched up terribly from the torment.
“Tell me who sent you, and I’ll grant you a swift death,” spat Emrys mercilessly.
Just as he was prepared to insert the eleventh needle into the assassin, the latter blurted, “I’ll tell you everything! Please don’t torture me anymore!”

The assassin could’ve endured the pain if it had been purely physical. At most, he would pass out from the agony.
However, he was subjected to mental torture, too.
Each needle that pricked his skin was another blow dealt to his mind. No matter how strong- willed someone was, they would suffer a mental collapse eventually.
The assassin revealed tremblingly, “It’s Gabriel Leeson. He hired us.”
“From Allure Group?”
“Yes! That’s him! He spent a small fortune hiring us to kill you and Cordelia! I’ve told you everything! Kill me now-
Crack!
Emrys instantly snapped the assassin’s neck. His arm trembled for a moment before he injected a bout of powerful life energy into the latter’s b*dy. Following a subdued explosion, the assassin’s corpse was turned into a puddle of blood.
Not even the assassin’s bones were spared.
“Gabriel!” Terrifying murderous intent surged into Emrys‘ eyes. I didn’t expect Gabriel to send these assassins to kill us. When he tried to prevent Cordelia Group from entering the market, he ordered people to take Cordelia’s nudes. However. I noticed his trick in time. After that. I only asked people to blacklist Allure Group from the industry instead of giving Gabriel trouble. Yet, that b*stard has the nerve to send assassins to murder Cordelia and me! He clearly has a death wish.
Immediately, he called Osmond. “I want you to send me Gabriel’s address tonight!”
Osmond was sleeping when his phone rang. However, when he answered the call and heard
Emrys icy voice. he was so shocked that his b*dy was covered in a cold sweat. What did that b*stard Gabriel do to anger Empyrean Lord that much? He’s courting death!
Without delay. Osmond mobilized his social network to locate Gabriel’s address.
Concurrently, two figures were speeding away from Verdant Estate.
Like an agile feline, Yelena chased after the assassin under the lunar glow in her night suit. They’re not weak, so why do they keep running?
Suddenly, she realized something and ceased her movements.
Concurrently, the assassin ahead of her stopped running too. Upon turning around, he sneered. “Have you finally realized the truth, Nightrose?”
