We're out!
Finally, by God, we made it out alive!
At this moment, Du Xishan and Sun Lin were both supporting you, as you laughed weakly, taking in deep breaths of the fresh air outside.
Shadow One suddenly approached you, bowed deeply, and without a word, walked away.
As you shrugged your shoulders, Shadow Six came over, handing you the dagger in her hand that, even in the sunlight, couldn't gleam the slightest bit, "Thank you."
It was a simple expression of gratitude. You smiled and nodded at her, while secretly hoping in your heart that this meeting would be the last.
It was clear to anyone that Shadow One and Shadow Six were assassins, dead-set on serving their master. This time, an alliance was possible due to the absence of conflicting interests. If there were to be a next time, circumstances might place you on opposing sides.
