Chapter 448: Backstab!

Walsh carefully made his way towards the location he had arranged to meet with that Noble.

The spot was a dense forest on the side of the road between Kemir Manor and South Los, which appeared no different from the other dense forests from the outside—utterly ordinary.

Only those who had entered this forest before, with guidance from someone familiar, could discover the hidden mechanism—

"Death is as common and as special as breathing."

Remembering the Noble's words and guidance, Walsh climbed towards the thickest tree.

Once he reached a tree hollow concealed by branches, he didn't immediately reach inside, but instead gently tapped one side of the trunk.

Thud! Thud thud!

One tap followed by two more.

Each tap was very heavy.

Suddenly—

Hiss, hiss!

In the hissing unique to snakes, a camouflaged poisonous snake that blended with the color of the tree bark and branches emerged from the tree hollow and coiled around a branch.
