“They first refused to say anything, but they eventually talk.” Nan Si was not the one who personally arranged the torture. It was naturally left to other member in the Dark Moon Organization who specialized in that matter. There was no need for him to take his hand on everything.

“Speak.”

“They might have received an offer from Princess Hu to cause trouble, but at the same time, some of their family members are part of Skull Liu Organization.”

Skull Liu.

Ever since that assassination event in the palace, Nan Hua hadn’t had the time to care about those assassins’ organization. She did say that she would pay them a visit, but there hasn’t been any chance in the past.

“I see.”

It was a rather small assassination organization that focused on the area not far from the Capital City. Since they even dared to interfere with her real identity, shouldn’t Nan Hua present them with some gifts?

Nan Si could sense the coldness from deep within Nan Hua’s bone. He paused for a moment before continuing. “Their target is to make chaos in the Capital City. Princess Hu’s request matches their intention.”

“It has been a while since we make a move.” Nan Hua looked at Nan Si. Her black obsidian pupil looked exceptionally clear within her eyes. “Issue a mission to destroy the organization.”

“Yes!”

Swish!

Nan Hua naturally would not participate in this matter. Skull Liu was a small organization that was going against Emperor Yang Zhou’s reign. She had no interest to personally watch those people fought.

It could be handed to the others in Dark Moon Organization. Many of them who were stationed in the Capital City had been itching to have some exercise since they had been very low key and cautious most of the time.

“You may go, Fei Mao.”

Swish!

At this moment, Fei Mao disappeared from where he used to be. He was pretending to work in the alley not far from where Nan Hua’s Quarter was located. Even though it was still covered by the wall and some trees, he would rarely sneak in, this time he did in order to receive the order from Nan Hua.

Since Nan Hua had allowed him, Fei Mao soon disappeared from his position.

He regrouped with the other members, to be exact Nan Si.

“Miss allowed me to participate this time.”

Nan Si looked at Fei Mao and nodded. He didn’t really like to speak unless when it was reporting some matters to Nan Hua. Because of that, he would not talk needlessly with Fei Mao.

“You handle it.”

“Ok.”

After receiving the necessary information, Fei Mao smirked. He spent most of his time following Nan Hua and become a messenger. This made him felt like he was not a proper assassin and more like a spy rather than an assassin.

Since he was finally given the chance to make a move personally, he would naturally do his best.

Swish!

With Nan Si gone, Fei Mao moved to one of the branch of Dark Moon Organization and put the mission. It would spread quickly and many other members would surely make their moves.

“I’ll take the headquarter.”

“Yes.”

Fei Mao swiftly rushed out of the Capital City by disguising himself. He knew that the headquarter of Skull Liu was located in a small village. It looked like an improvised village and rather poor, but it actually contained a lot of experts that could make people’s jaw dropped to the ground.

Skull Liu might be a small organization, but there were still a few dozen people inside it. In the headquarter, there should be at least 20 to 30 people.

But that number was not a problem for Fei Mao.

Their skills were not up to par against him who had sparred with Nan Hua so many times. Despite his loss streak, he knew that his skill was no longer the same as when he first met Nan Hua in the past.

Swish!

‘They’re patrolling.’

Fei Mao noticed that the members of Skull Liu were patrolling one by one. Since it was the case, he would start with eliminating those members who were currently patrolling.

Slash!

Sneaking behind them, Fei Mao sliced their neck and blood spurted out. With their vocal cord basically cut, there was no chance for them to even scream for help. All they could do was to watch as their blood drained out of their body and their lives disappear.

Then darkness enveloped them.

Fei Mao didn’t stop with just one group. He continued moving within the forest to kill the other assassins. His swift movement was very quiet. It didn’t alarm them and aside from the smell of blood that grew thicker, no one else noticed anything else.

‘How many are left?’

Taking the list that the Dark Moon Organization had compiled, Fei Mao silently count the head he had gotten. He had to make sure that everyone was already eliminated before he could submit the mission as clear.

Failure to kill everyone meant failure of the mission.

Those who fail their mission would be punished heavily and Fei Mao naturally didn’t want to make such low level mistake.

After checking a few times, Fei Mao confirmed that he made no mistake and left the place.

As for how the cleaning up…

That was unnecessary.

He only needed to leave the marking of ‘Dark Moon’ in order to let them knew who did this.

…

By the next day, there was an uproar because of the massacre that occurred. Many people were talking about how many people died in a village nearby. Some said that it was done by bandits while some other said that it was by organization.

In any case, the news was not curbed at all.

Even if there was some restriction, there were still many people who were talking about this matter because the number of people dying reached a few dozens.

“Have you investigated about it?”
