"There's another assassin!"
This was Capricorn's first response.
Capricorn was now very confused, she didn't understand, wasn't this an assassination targeting Taotie?
Why are the assassins coming after me?
As Capricorn wondered, Tom, who was hiding in the tree, leaped down with a black Dagger in his hand, aimed to strike Capricorn's fontanelle from above.
Taken aback, Capricorn hastily dodged.
At the same time, she quickly counterattacked, her whip making a crisp "snap" sound as it struck out toward the hand Tom held the knife with, from an eerie angle.
Tom spun around, avoiding Capricorn's whip, and moved in again, determined to draw some of Capricorn's blood.
Meanwhile, the katana of Hummingbird was unsheathed.
Slashing out obliquely, aimed at Capricorn.
Along with Tom, they attacked Capricorn from both sides, putting her between the hammer and the anvil.
