Chapter 1363


    Matthew then dragged the assassin into the house.Subsequently, the crown prince entered with Melvin


    behind him.


    "Who ordered you to kill me?"


    Matthew interrogated in a serious tone.The assassin stayed silent with a distant expression.


    Despite his ribs having been broken by Matthew earlier, the assassin showed no signs of being in pain


    and only showed an indifferent expression.


    Matthew''s expression grew cold as well, for he was already nning to torture the information out of


    the assassin.


    However, Melvin came over and interjected, "There is no need for further questions.These people are


    already akin to a killing machine.They wouldn''t have the knowledge of who their clients are!"


    "Why not?"


    Matthew was taken aback.


    "These assassins belong to Cathay''srgest assassin group called the Assassins Alliance.They were


    picked up by the alliance from a very young age and would undergo ten years of hard training to be


    professional assassins on an ind in the Pacific Ocean.Treating them as you would a human is a


    waste of time since these beings no longer have any human thoughts in them.The only thing left in


    them is just their next targets! The Assassins Alliance would notify them of their targets and nothing


    else.This is why I said there is no need for further questions.These people know next to nothing, not


    even who they were before!"


    Matthew widened his eyes in shock, as he never expected there would exist such assassins.


    Beside them, the crown prince wore the same expression of shock.


    "The Assassins Alliance? I''ve heard my uncle mention that name before.They''re not only thergest


    group of assassins in Cathay, but also one of the top three assassin groups in the whole


    world.However, I''ve also heard that hiring an assassin from the alliance costs very much.Just who in


    the world employed them?"


    Taking a nce at Matthew, Melvin gave his opinion.


    "If my prediction is not off, I would say the client is the Nns""


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    "Why do you think so?" Matthew questioned.


    Melvin shrugged before replying, "You''ve caused Gilbert Nn some big losses back at Eastcliff.Since


    Gilbert Nn has always been a vengeful man, it was impossible for him to take it lying


    still.Furthermore, seeing that it would not be convenient for him to show his face after returning to


    Bainbridge, the only option for that man is to employ assassins to carry out his deed.Considering that


    the assassins by the Six Southern States would not go unnoticed by the crown prince, Gilbert might


    have thought that it was best to hire assassins from the Assassins Alliance."


    All the pieces fit in Matthew''s mind as he frowned at the revtion.


    If what Melvin said was true, Matthew would be facing a lot of trouble as he was now a target for the


    Assassins Alliance.


    Nevertheless, he tried torturing the assassins with his silver needles for information to corroborate the


    theory but, just as Melvin said, could gain no new information.


    On the contrary, the assassins bit the poison pills hidden in the roots of their teeth and took their own


    lives.


    This action of theirs proved that they were trained by the Assassins Alliance.They will be difficult to deal


    with.


    Matthew thought.


    "Melvin, how did you know these people were from the Assassins Alliance?" asked the crown prince


    after the three of them had left the house.


    "The poison they used is exclusive to the Assassins Alliance.They are one of a kind" Melvin replied.


    Matthew was impressed further since he was still puzzled on the matter before.


    Due to Matthew inheriting the jade pendant, it meant that he knew every venomous creature there was


    in the world.Yet, even he was stumped on the identity of the poison employed by the assassin the night


    before.


    Although he was considered to be immune to all poison as he was carrying the jade pendant given to


    him by Jinny, he was almost had by that poison.


    The important takeaway from the prior night was that even Matthew couldn''t cure the poison by way of


    medicine and could only expel the poison from Lucy''s body by using his silver needles in conjunction


    with his inner energy.


    Seems like the alliance''s unique poison isn''t that simple to deal with.


    "Then how did you figure out that they were hiding here?" the crown prince continued to ask.


    Revealing his yellow teeth as he smiled, Melvin answered, "That''s a dumb question! The only hideout


    they have here in Eastshire is this one.If not here, then where else will they be?"


    Melvin''s answer left the crown prince speechless for a while.


    Matthew nced at Melvin before asking, "Then, how did you know the location of the Assassins


    Alliance''s hideout?"


    Melvin smiled.


    "Do you really think that I''m swindling people every day in the market? Let me tell you this: nothing


    escapes me should I require information about the things in the Six Southern States!"
