"In other words, the original target of that assassin was Mr. Xiaojiu, but when he couldn't find an opportunity to strike, he temporarily shifted his focus to the elder master," she said.
Ye Hua was constantly observing the expression on Mu Xiaojiu's face, but unfortunately, the latter didn't show any signs of emotion.
Ye Hua fell silent for a moment before continuing, "From the looks of it, Mr. Xiaojiu, they might have put out a Death Kill Order on you."
The Death Kill Order was the highest death decree among the assailant organizations.
Failure to execute it would lead to certain death upon return.
That's why, when the assassin ran out of other methods and neared the expiration date, he had no choice but to attempt to kill Mu Lingchuan out of desperation.
His intention was to offset his transgressions by achieving something meaningful, although he wasn't really sure whether such a thing was even possible.
