Unexpected?

The headless body fell to the ground. The workers, who were building the statue, were stunned, panic breaking out. Screams and shouts followed instantly.

"Assassin!"

"Assassin!"

"Lord Krecko has been assassinated!"

...

As they voiced their panic and fear through their screams, the workers scattered away.

Pride stood where he was and didn't stop them. His target wasn't the workers.

Looking down at the head in his hand, Pride's arrogant face showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Now I see! No wonder the host changed his plans! But…"

Sou!

The thoughts in his heart didn't slow down his movements or lower his guard. When the air-breaking arrow whistle sounded, Pride had already dodged it.

Bang!

After a loud noise, a refined iron arrow plunged into the wall behind Pride.

The arrow didn't just plunge into the wall, it created a sizeable crater upon impact, cracks spreading around it.
