章 269: Her Feral Gaze

The man who had wet himself in fear was obviously not as stubborn as the other man. When he saw the other man's tragic state, his last sliver of resolve vanished.

"I, I'll talk…"

…

Hong Xiu waited for a long time, but the assassins she had sent had not yet returned. Sensing that something was wrong, she hurried back to the Eastern Palace.

Although the two who had been sent on that mission were not the best assassins in the house, they were good trackers, so their skills were naturally up to par.

These two had never slipped up before, so why were they not back yet this time?

However, she was not too worried. The assassins in the house had all undergone strict training. Moreover, when they went on missions, they would hide poison between their teeth in case they faced an emergency. If they were unfortunate enough to get caught, they would bite down on the poison and kill themselves.
