章 173: A Wooden Plate?

Hei Bao and Hei Wan were already tense from the assassination attempt and were expecting another attack, and this is what they thought it was. But even after a couple of seconds, nothing happened, and that feeling faded away.

Hei Bao looked at Hei Wan with eyes filled with confusion. It was as if he was asking what had just happened. Hei Wan did not speak and simply shook her head in response, showing that she did not know either.

Hei Wan then looked at Lin Mu and spoke.

Lin Mu looked up at Hei Wan upon hearing her speak.

"What about that mercenary?" Lin Mu asked.
