Unfortunately, Claire and Lena were present, so I used the less violent version of [Soul Scanning] .
However, it was more than enough . Once I got the information I wanted to know, I crushed the assassin's soul into smithereens and stood up .
To be honest, I felt it was a bit of a shame . Not many people manage to get a glimpse of the laws, and much less a law so hard to understand as [Space] . If this assassin continued to live, I'm sure he would have become a very powerful figure eventually .
Unfortunately, he met me .
After I stood up, I snapped my fingers and the assassins' bodies turned into dust . I then turned around and looked at the girls .
Of the three, Claire was seated on the ground . Her face had turned pale-white, and her body was shaking slightly due to fear .
Louise and Lena, on the other hand, were trying to calm her down .
I heaved a soft sigh and walked towards her . Crouching down, I looked into her eyes gently .
"Are you alright?"
Claire looked at me and forced a smile . "I am… Thank you for saving my life . "
I chuckled and patted her head . "What are you speaking about? This is just an illusion . You would have been fine even if I do nothing . "
"An illusion, huh…" Claire looked at me before nodding . She then looked at the place where the assassin's body was just a moment ago and fell deep in thoughts .
"Hidden Cave sure did a good job with this attraction . " Lena sighed in admiration . "For an instant, I even thought that the assassins were real . And brother, you moved so fast! How did you do it!?"
"Who knows, I just did . " I forced a smile and Louise snorted . Only Claire stayed silent as though she was thinking about something .
Poor girl, it was her first time facing killing intent, but she received all the killing intent of a tenth-layer assassin head-on . I just hope she doesn't develop a trauma .
When I made sure that Claire was mostly fine, I used my gaze to ask Louise to follow me . Louise instantly understood that it was related to the assassination and nodded .
"Claus and I are going to make sure that there are no more enemies nearby . You two think of a way to open the door . " Louise said to the girls .
Lena looked at us suspiciously, but when she noticed our serious expressions, she nodded .
"Okay . "
Louise and I walked a few meters away . When we were sure that the girls could not hear us, Louise asked .
"What is it?"
"I got some information from the assassins . "
"Information? But how? You never interrogated th–" Louise then remembered how I killed the assassins and smiled wryly . "Right, you also killed a bunch of high-level assassins as though it was nothing, it's not strange if you have a way to get information . Hey Claus, how strong are you really?"
"… Do you truly want to know?"
"Yes . "
"Then become my lover . "
Louise rolled her eyes, but her cheeks turned slightly red . "… I'll think about it . Anyway, what information did you get?"
"I think it's better if I show you . " I smiled at Louise and put my finger on her forehead .
Instantly, a set of memories appeared on her mind .
The memories belonged to the tenth-layer assassin . Most precisely, it was what happened a few minutes before they attacked us .
"You have a new job . " A servant-like man around thirty years old notified him .
The assassin nodded . "Tell me the details . "
"The target is the fourth prince, Claus Quintin . He is currently inside the new attraction of Hidden Cave together with Princess Lena and the two daughters Earl Riea . "
"… It will be a bit difficult . I heard the fourth prince is being protected by a powerful master . "
"Don't worry, the Transcendent beside His Highness assured us that nobody powerful is protecting the princess . Even if Prince Claus truly has a powerful master, that master is not with him right now . "
"… I understand . But there is the possibility that the prince's master left him a life-saving treasure . Moreover, there are many nobles with their bodyguards nearby . They will act immediately when they feel the commotion . "
"Actually, that is not a problem . " The servant smiled . "The prince is currently inside an illusory array, so nothing that happens inside will be detected outside . Furthermore, it doesn't matter if you fail to assassin the prince . "
"What do you mean?"
"Besides the prince, His Highness also wants that you kill the other three girls . "
"Oh?"
"Think about it . If the prince dies after meeting His Highness and the Earl, then they will be the biggest suspects . But if the earl's two daughters and the princess also dies, then nobody will suspect them .
"After all, nobody will think that the earl killed his own daughters, and His Highness doesn't have a reason to kill his sister . Even if someone suspects something, His Highness will not be the biggest suspect .
"And if you fail to kill the prince, but kill the other three girls, it'll be even better . After all, what do you think will happen to the prince if he is the only one that survives the assassination and the other girls die?"
"Do you mean…"
"Yes . We just need to fan the flames a little, and the prince will become the biggest suspect . " Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
The assassin looked at the servant in admiration before nodding . "I understand . I'll accomplish my mission . "
