The man in black was stunned.
His gaze flickered as he looked at the young and petite princess in front of him.
Noble Consort Qiao, who was carrying her, narrowed her eyes and immediately understood her daughter's thoughts.
Noble Consort Qiao said in an arrogant voice, "As an assassin, you don't have any room to fight back anymore. As long as I call someone in…
"You'll be caught immediately. Even if you don't reveal the mastermind, the emperor will definitely not let you off. And you now only have one way to keep your life.
"The princess has already told you what it is you need to do. No matter how much the other party offers, we'll pay you double. We'll pay you to kill them instead. After the favor is returned to them, I'll help you escape."
It sounded like an absolutely tempting deal.
The man in black fell silent, feeling complicated.
He had killed at least a dozen people, even if not a hundred.
