Chapter 377: Hunter and Prey!

The black-clad figure wearing a white mask stared unblinkingly at Zhan Lan, then lightly chuckled and said, "Miss Zhan truly is a clever woman. Unfortunately, I still have to kill you."

Zhan Lan's hands were bound behind her back. She gazed at her opponent, her voice calm yet unwavering, "Tell me, why do you want to kill me?"

The black-clad figure's voice was soft, barely audible to the two of them. "You have obstructed the Regent King's years of planning. You made him abandon his grand scheme of restoring the kingdom!"

Zhan Lan frowned. She had never known Mu Yan to have abandoned the restoration of Zhongzhou Kingdom.

Finally, she understood the reason behind her would-be assassin's actions.

"Aside from that, do you have no personal feelings in wanting to kill me?" Zhan Lan continued to ask.

The black-clad figure smiled faintly, looking at Zhan Lan. "To be honest, a little. But it's far from enough to warrant murder."
