Chapter 673


    The woman was shocked.


    She thought that Adrian would still be at the church. How could he have possibly gotten ahead of her?


    After identifying Adrian, the woman slowly lowered her dagger and pursed her lips. “Hey, Legate, what


    are you doing here sote at night? Are you trying to stop a helpless little woman like me?

    Adrian gestured. “Hand over that book”


    The woman quickly hid the book behind her back when she heard this


    “It’s not even yours, so finder’s keepers,” she coldly replied.


    Adrian jumped down from the rock and walked toward the woman, causing thetter to retreat a little.


    Soon, he stood before her and carefully studied her before asking, “What’s your name? Why did you


    show up here?”


    “My name?” the woman chuckled as she said, “Prepare to be shocked when you hear my name…


    “I’m Bloody Rose’s top assassin–Ivy Cox!


    “Are you quaking in your boots yet?”


    “Bloody Rose, you say?” Adrian mumbled.


    me sounded familiar to him.


    That name


    Bloody Rose was an organization simr to Wyvern Peak that belonged to the ounders. It was filled


    with women trained to be exceptional assassins and was really expensive to hire.


    More importantly, they did not serve Navia but served money.


    Thinking of this, Adrian replied, “I know of your organization. I think you’re nothing more than a bunch


    of women doing boring stuff that have nothing better to do.”


    When Ivy heard this, she coldly said, “Are you loalding down on us? So what if we’re women? We’re


    still capable of being assassins that move around silently but are deadly. Are you afraid of us now?”


    “Who hired you?” Adrian asked.


    Ivy folded her arms and let off another grunt. “We never leak our employer’s information. You’re just


    wasting your time by asking me that question.”


    “You’re right.” Adrian nodded. “That was a little silly of me. I won’t ask you anymore since you aren’t


    willing to tell me anything. However, I need you to hand over that hook before you leave.”


    Ivy’s gaze turned sinister. “And what if I refuse? Are you going to kill me?”


    Adrian smiled, “You wouldn’t be the first woman to have died by my hands”


    “That depends on whether you’re actually that capable. Also, what’s with the mask, jerk? I’ve been


    wanting to tear it off your face to see what you look like for a long time now,” Ivy said coldly.


    After that, she fiercely reached out, trying to rip off Adrian’s mask while he was off guard. However, she


    failed and caught air as Adrian turned his head sideways.


    Ivy pursed her lips once more. “You seem like a worthy legate, I’ll give you that. I’m going to leave now.


    I don’t have time to y with you. Ciao!”


    She then took out a ball–shaped throwing item and was about to escape after releasing another cloud


    of smoke. Yet, Adrian managed to catch her wrist before she threw it, causing thetter to be slightly


    startled.


    Enraged, she shouted, “Get your filthy paws off me, you ferid”


    Ivy struggled for a while andunched a lock toward Adrian, but he lifted his knee before her kick could


    connect. Instead, Ivy


    got kneed in the stomach.


    Adrian had put so much force into his kick that Ivy was unable to dodge it in the slightest.


    The force of the impact caused her expression to twist in pain. She gasped for air as she copsed


    onto the floor. Her stomach was churning as if a volcano had erupted inside her, causing her so much


    pain that she was even in tears.
