Chapter 707: Lanci, The Chosen One of the Empire_4

The assassin lay in a pile of ruins.

This was the least noticeable magic Talia could use.

If she had fought with seventh or eighth-order magic, let alone whether the other passengers would have been spared, it would likely have been impossible to explain who had acted afterwards.

The woman assassin struggled stubbornly on the ground for a while until she became certain that the old man was at least of the seventh order and that she was no match for him, so she gave up.

Lanci approached her.

He needed to investigate the cause and effect from the woman assassin before the dust settled.

Landry's death could not go unexplained.

As much as he regretted Landry's death, there was nothing he could do; with a master like Landry around, Lanci could not take action himself, or it would reveal his true intentions and blow his cover.

In the end, Landry would become the hero who died protecting the passengers, and that was all Lanci could do for him.
