Chapter 44: Roy vs Swift Death

Roy's expression told Swift Death all he needed to know.

The assassin stopped and narrowed his eyes at him. "It's a surprise to know someone as intelligent as you don't know who wants you dead. You manage to fool the world into believing you're not worth a cent when actually you're the best among the unawakened. The fact that you tackled two trial grounds alone and succeeded in triumphing over them proves it. I don't know why you hid yourself so deeply, but you must have your reason, just like I had for becoming an assassin."

The assassin was silent for a while.

"Uh… well, now that I think about it, it's not too surprising you don't know. Actually, you don't have much of a beef with my client. You are just in their way. So they want you out. How about this? I'll tell you who they are if you beat me."

With a smile, Roy gladly accepted his challenge.

"Alright, bring it on."

The minute his last word was spoken, the feminine youth charged toward him.
