Seeing that the Core Creation cultivator had suddenly stopped moving and was just staring at the floating platform, Apollo couldn't help but tilt his head.
"What's wrong with him?" Apollo muttered. "Is he not going to kill Arke? Wait, that can't be right. If he did, would it be considered mission complete?"
Unable to come up with an answer, he turned to the System.
"Hey, System, if Arke dies without me personally killing him, does it count as mission complete?" Apollo asked.
A translucent interface materialized before him, with words appearing on it, followed by the emotionless voice of the System echoing in his head.
"Yes, the mission states: Kill the hooded man who threw you in the alley. If the Hooded Man dies by other means, it will be considered Mission Complete."
