Before he could even finish his exclamation, the young assassin abruptly closed his mouth.
More precisely, he bit his tongue with his teeth.
Death was scary.
But there were some things that were scarier than death.
Losing control of oneself was one of them.
The state of being conscious but doing things against one's will like a puppet was enough to drive one crazy.
The young assassin would never want to fall into such a state.
So, when he saw [Mesly Ring], he chose to commit suicide.
However, committing suicide in front of Kieran was much harder than the assassin could imagine.
Kieran raised his hand and dislocated the assassin's lower jaw.
Although Kieran's [Hand-to-Hand Combat] was specialized in [Kick Combat], some techniques and knowledge related to both hands were still in Kieran's mind.
It was just that he didn't have the support of a specialized skill.
"You recognize this ring?"
"That couldn't be better!"
I think we can have a better conversation! "
Kieran said with a smile.
Kieran's original intention was to use [Mesly Ring] to control her, but she recognized [Mesly Ring] and even had the additional title of [Witch's Ring].
It made Kieran pause his previous thoughts.
Based on Jeanne's way of doing things, the [Mesly Ring] must be her biggest secret.
An assassin with an unknown background who wasn't even the best of the best knew Jeanne's biggest secret, it wasn't a coincidence no matter how one looked at it.
An organization!
There must be an organization behind the assassin!
An organization that had investigated Jeanne in detail!
Plus, the assassin used the Snake school techniques.
"Snake school wasn't wiped out, did some of them escape?"
Kieran asked.
The assassin didn't answer but his expression told Kieran that his guesses were correct.
"I think you can write down what you know … If you don't want to, I can use other methods."
Kieran shook the [Mesly Ring] in his hand.
The assassin cooperated and shook the ring.
Kieran nodded in satisfaction and lifted the tent.
Mary had already brought a military doctor over.
"Bandage him, but don't treat his lower jaw. I also need some paper and pen!"
Kieran ordered the military doctor.
There was pen and paper in the tent, but it was inappropriate for Kieran to go through Mary's belongings, so he could only ask their owner to pass them to him.
"Thank you!"
Kieran smiled as he took the pen and paper and placed it in front of the assassin.
Under Kieran's gaze, the assassin endured the pain and started to write on the scroll.
About ten minutes later, when the military doctor confirmed that the bandaging was complete, a piece of paper filled with words appeared in Kieran's hands.
Kieran glanced at it and passed it to Mary.
The girl examined it carefully.
"A hidden sect in Riverdale. It was destroyed by Holly before but now it has over a hundred members … And the headquarters is in Riverdale?"
Mary frowned.
She had heard about sects from her mother before.
There used to be two biggest sword sects in Warren. One was Snake School and the other was Raven Sect.
However, one of the two sects was long gone and the other one was secretive, completely breaking away from the control of those in power. However, it had an unusual influence among some shadowy figures and mercenaries.
Some of the commoners had even heard of this sect before.
Mary didn't like it though.
The real culprit who killed her mother, Galeart, was from Snake School.
[Viper Kick] was the best proof!
So, when Mary looked at the assassin again, her eyes were filled with killer intents.
Never underestimate the rage a person would feel when their kin was taken away.
It was enough for a kind person to pick up a butcher's knife.
Though, Mary was still calm.
The young girl had a maturity that would make others sigh at themselves for being inferior.
After calming herself down, the girl walked out of the tent and Kieran followed.
"Is it because Folly and the Viper Sect appeared under Jeanne's command at the same time, so you are puzzled?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes, Holly was the biggest culprit behind the destruction of Snake School. The remaining members of Snake School wouldn't ignore the hatred and willingly serve Jeanne, unless Jeanne used [Mesly Ring] on them, but obviously she didn't. So, when they attacked me and my mother … Was it because of the [Thorn Blade]? "
The girl seemed to have thought of something.
"The [Thorn Blade] is very tempting but I am quite sure that it was the product of Galeart's greed. His superior didn't even know about it. Otherwise, Galeart wouldn't even have the chance to appear!"
Kieran hinted.
Kieran remembered the Legendary weapon [Thorn Blade] in his heart.
If the Viper Sect had known about Kieran's powerful attack and powerful attributes, they wouldn't have sent Galeart alone.
It must have been someone of a higher rank.
The confession of the young assassin who was captured further proved this point.
The young assassin and Galeart were just fringe members of the organization, not the core members yet.
"Then why would they be so persistent towards me?
"Galeart failed and now he sent another assassin after Jeanne James failed?"
The girl was even more confused.
"You'll have to ask them!"
Kieran pointed at some clearly marked addresses in the confession.
…
A night had passed.
When dawn arrived, the reconstruction of Thunder Fortress was bustling with activity.
After last night's battle, the soldiers of Warren had recovered quite a bit of their morale. They started to reinforce the defensive line and the soldiers on duty climbed up the high tower, watching the Prairie invaders' movements.
The wagon that Bosco was riding on was stopped before it even entered the camp of the Warren garrison.
Four soldiers were looking at the wagon with vigilance. Two soldiers further away even drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
The atmosphere inside the wagon wasn't friendly at all.
Bosco, the king's consultant, was tied up inside the wagon with a sword pinned to his neck. A handsome young man with a pair of cold eyes was holding the sword.
The young man had a high nose bridge and the tip of his nose was slightly hooked, adding a sense of viciousness to his handsome face.
Coupled with those cold eyes, it made people feel that there was a cold aura around him.
"Bring Torstar to me!"
The young man said coldly.
The soldiers didn't reply, they were still looking at the young man who kidnapped Bosco with vigilance.
"Hurry up!"
The young man emphasized.
Still, the soldiers weren't moved.
Killer intent flashed over the young man's face. The sword pinned to Bosco's neck started to move to other places.
Bosco wouldn't kill Torstar before the young man got his hands on him.
But he could do something else.
Like cutting off a finger or poking a hole somewhere else.
"Wait!"
Bosco shouted loudly when he sensed the kidnapper's intention.
The kidnapper paused and looked at Bosco with his cold eyes.
"I have two cute daughters, when they get married, as a father, I must stand beside them with dignity. Please don't cripple me …"
The kidnapper frowned when he heard Bosco's words.
He felt like he was being played.
He stabbed the sword down without a second thought.
However, the voice that stopped him sounded again.
"Wait!"
However, it wasn't Bosco.
The voice came from afar and the soldiers around him backed off.
The kidnapper was relieved when he saw the black figure.
