The smoke obscured the vision of Murong Yue, Lin Fan, and the two people in red holding this Gold Ranked Assassin.

While this was happening, there was an explosion from the pile of assassins that the other people in red had been guarding.

The bodies in that pile suddenly flew out in all directions, catching the people in red off guard. At the same time, with that sudden explosion of bodies, there was smoke that came from the center of the pile that quickly filled the surrounding area, blocking off the line of sight of the people in red.

As this smoke spread, there was a figure that quickly moved through the smoke before disappearing.

When the smoke finally dissipated, there were the bodies of the assassins that were lying all over the ground with the people in red standing over them with their weapons drawn, prepared for anything that happened.

As for the Gold Ranked Assassin, he was still being held by the two people in red with Murong Yue and Lin Fan standing in front of him, but now he had a smile on his face.

Murong Yue and Lin Fan both quickly looked around and counted the assassins, but they found that there was one missing.

Lin Fan stood there with a calm look, but Murong Yue immediately knitted her brows and shouted at the people in red, "Gather them up and quickly find the other one that escaped!"

When the Gold Ranked Assassin heard this, he suddenly broke out in laughter.

Even though they heard this, Murong Yue and Lin Fan both ignored him as they walked around the area, looking for clues as to where the escaped assassin could have gone. While they were doing this, a few of the people in red put the assassins on the ground against the wall while the rest of them ran off to search for the assassin that had escaped.

After around five minutes, these people in red came back and one of them reported to Murong Yue, "Boss, we weren't able to find them at all."

When the Gold Ranked Assassin heard this, his laugh became much more confident.

He knew that they wouldn't be able to kill him just yet since they clearly needed information from him. If all of them had been captured and no one knew that they were captured, then there was no way for them to survive.

However, if one of them escaped, they would at least have a chance to survive.

That was what both of the Mid Child Soul Realm assassins had agreed to.

If there was a chance, one of them would help the other escape to bring word back to the Assassins Association and find a way to rescue the other.

While he wasn't certain whether the other person would uphold their end of the deal, he did know that this was his only way of surviving. If no one knew that they were being held captive, no one would come and save them since they were disposable pawns to begin with.

However, if that other Gold Ranked Assassin escaped and were to return to the Assassins Association, they would have to try to save them since it affected their reputation. Not to mention that they had taken the job from Shi Yan, so they would at least send someone else to finish the job because behind Shi Yan was Lei Feng.

Lei Feng was not a customer that the Assassins Association could ignore, especially now that there was the new alliance between the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association.

It was the rare alliance between three of the twelve great factions, the Assassins Association wouldn't let themselves seem weak in front of the other two factions by failing this mission.

With all these reasons, the Gold Ranked Assassin was confident that everything would turn out his way.

However, that joy that he felt was cut short by a single laugh from Murong Yue.

When he heard that laugh, he immediately stopped laughing and looked at her with a shocked gaze.

After giving that laugh, Murong Yue gave a nod and said, "All according to plan then."

When he heard this, the Gold Ranked Assassin felt like the world was crumbling around him as he began searching his memories for what had gone wrong.

That was right, it seemed off from the moment that they had been ambushed.

Why had they incapcitated everyone instead of just killing most of them and leaving one or two people to get information from?

They were being attacked, so the most logical thing to do was to take care of them so that it would be easier for them.

However, the people in red had chosen to knock out all the assassins.

Then the next thing they did was pile all the assassins in one big pile instead of lining them up against the wall and making sure that they wouldn't be able to do anything. This wasn't something that a normal person would do when they had a prisoner since it was much easier for them to make a move and talk to each other secretly when they were in that pile. After all, that was what the two Gold Ranked Assassins had done.

Now they didn't seem worried at all that the other Gold Ranked Assassin had escaped…Could it be that their plan was to let one of them escape all along?

But why would they do that?

There was no benefit for them unless…

Unless they had a way of tracking the person who had escaped!

Murong Yue and Lin Fan ignored the changes in the expression on the face of the assassin in front of them as Murong Yue said, "Mister Lin, how is it going?"

Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "It's all good, I have his tracks right now."

When the assassin heard this, it confirmed his guess and he had a very ugly expression on his face.

Murong Yue gave a strong laugh before saying, "I wasn't sure about your plan when you mentioned it, but if this really works, it'll mean we'll be able to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

It wasn't actually Lin Fan who was tracking the assassin who had escaped, but rather Brainy.

If this was before Brainy had broken through, this might have been harder since Brainy wouldn't have been able to infect the Child Soul Realm Expert with her parasite seed. Then again, if the assassin had been in perfect form, Brainy wouldn't have been able to do it either.

It was all because Lin Fan had seriously injured the Gold Ranked Assassin that Brainy was able to infect him with her parasite seed.

Currently Lin Fan was tracking that assassin who escaped with the parasite seed and he was just waiting for the assassin to stop so they could find the location of their hideout.

While Lin Fan was focused on tracking the assassin that escaped, Murong Yue turned her attention back to the Gold Ranked Assassin that her subordinates were holding in front of her. She looked down on his ugly expression and knew that she had dealt a strong blow to him.

Now that she had used the stick, it was time for her to use the carrot.

Murong Yue revealed a smile and said, "You should understand what is happening now, there is no escape for you. However, as long as you're willing to cooperate, I can guarantee your safety. What do you think?"

The Gold Ranked Assassin looked up at Murong Yue with a hesitant look on his face.

He knew when he had been beaten and all he cared about now was his own life.

Since he knew that the person who had escaped wouldn't be able to help him, it was better for him to trade some information to see if he could keep his life.

But of course, trading information was an art and he couldn't rush it, so he had the same hesitant look for a bit before he said, "How do I know you'll keep your word?"

Murong Yue had the same smile on her face, but there was a slight chill that also appeared as she said, "You don't. You just have to trust me." Then after a pause, she said with a shrug, "Of course, it's not like you have much of a choice right now."

The Gold Ranked Assassin gave a sigh before saying, "I can give you some information now and then depending on how I'm treated, I can give you more. What do you think?"

Murong Yue stopped smiling as her face turned cold and she said, "That depends on what kind of information you have. I advise you to start talking now when I'm still in a good mood. If you keep wasting time, I can tell you that this mood will get worse and worse and that will not be good for you."

The Gold Ranked Assassin gave a sigh and was about to speak, but Lin Fan suddenly cut in by saying, "He stopped."

Murong Yue turned over to look at Lin Fan before turning back to the Gold Ranked Assassin to say, "Wait here for me, I'll be right back."

Then without even waiting for his answer, she came over to where Lin Fan was.

Lin Fan had pulled out a 3D map of the city on his watch that Murong Yue had provided him and was currently focused on the location of the assassin as per Brainy's instructions.

This was a place that wasn't far from here, it was a small bar that no one would normally go to.
