Chapter 78: To See

Wintersin Assassin's Guild

City of Cugmhan

"Show your identity passes!"

"Do not crowd!"

Assassins from every corner of the world assembled in the secretive city of Cugmhan, a place cloaked in shadows, concealed from the prying eyes of outsiders. They came to partake in the ruthless trials that defined the exceptional essence of the Guild.

"Are the weapons ranked in?"

"The masters have designed new batches. He said he will reward some of the year's most outstanding performers."

"How high was the top this year?"

"Killed more zeroes than your fingers!"

"So high?"

"We can only look up and sell what we can. We can never surpass the top thirteen."
