"Damn it! Did you betray us?! "
The first thought that arose in Ryan's mind wasn't 'you betrayed us', but 'why didn't you ask me to betray you?' After all, at this point, it was obvious that the other party wouldn't allow someone they hadn't interacted with to join them. So if his old partner really betrayed them, he would be dead for sure!
"Relax."
But once again, someone appeared behind him and pressed down on his shoulder.
"He's our amulet to enter the capital of Demacia. Or rather, it's because of him that we can enter the city. Am I right, my dear young master? "
The person who spoke sent a chill down Ryan's spine because he would remember this horror even if he died. Or rather, it was a voice that made him unable to resist. The obedience and silence in his partner's eyes also confirmed his memory.
Ducao …
The strongest assassin in the Empire!
"Hmph, even if that's the case, don't expect too much help from me. I'll help you enter the city and you'll help me kill that woman. And …"
Tears welled up in the eyes of the low-ranking Demacia officer who was discovered by Ryan. He couldn't help but hold onto a pendant. Through the faint light, Ryan could see that the Demacian officer was holding a brand new portrait of a woman with a brilliant smile in his hand. The portrait was obviously stained with blood, as though it had been taken out from a pool of blood.
Coincidentally, he knew the person in the portrait as well.
Ryan suddenly realized something, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Of course, this is just a deal. We'll avenge your lover and you'll let us avenge her. This is a perfect deal, am I right?"
At this point, Ryan felt the hand on his shoulder leave, and he could finally heave a sigh of relief. But he didn't dare to show it, because if the person in front of him found out that he relaxed for a moment or was afraid of him, then it was very likely that he would be suspected by the other party and be sent out to carry out some terrifying missions. However, when he saw the middle-aged man slowly walk past him, he suddenly realized a fact that made him shudder.
He was like a coward who lost his head and vented his fear on a scarecrow. Perhaps this Master Assassin had seen it too.
I'll probably receive an extremely difficult mission later on …
He suddenly realized this fact.
"That's right, I hope so. But please remember, if it weren't for the revenge of my lover, Luna, I would never work with Noxus barbarians like you!"
That Demacia man, an unfavored child of a noble family, a young master who had enjoyed a luxurious life since birth and felt that he didn't need to pay the price for it. However, like Ryan, he felt how scary Ducao was, and when Ducao got close to him, he instinctively stepped back. However, he seemed to think that this was too cowardly, so he took a step forward to show his bravery.
But frankly speaking, Ryan didn't think that this person was this disgusting.
"Of course. After all, you're a great poet and painter. You should be wielding a brush and not a sword. You shouldn't be involved in this kind of killing."
Ducao revealed a smile as though he wasn't mindful of the young man's slander. Instead, he praised the young man's identity and bowed. His eyes paused on the young man's pendant for a while. Then, when the young man's face turned red as though it would explode at the next second, Ducao lifted his body.
"Alright then, we'll be waiting for your grand arrival at the agreed location."
He gestured for Ducao to leave, but the noble young master seemed to have been insulted. He glared at Ducao with hatred, and Ryan couldn't help but worry that his head might not be able to stay on his neck. He spat at them fiercely, then left angrily with a high-pitched voice.
"You better keep your promise!"
Ryan had never seen such behavior before. He had never seen anyone who betrayed their country in such a righteous manner. However, he didn't dare to look at the young man. Instead, he lowered his head to Ducao who appeared here for some unknown reason. But what surprised him even more was that Ducao grabbed his collar and expressionlessly pointed at young master Demacia's body, telling Ryan to look at the young master's departing figure.
This action only stopped after the foolish Demacian left. Ducao's ice-cold voice also reached Ryan's ears at that moment.
"He'll try to sneak us into the capital of Demacia at dawn a week later, but this idiot won't be able to hide from the people of Demacia. So you have to kill him before dawn, and you have to kill him in front of many Demacians. Do you understand?"
This is a sure-death mission! This is to attract firepower for my other plan!
Ryan immediately thought of this. But he quickly calmed down because if Ducao really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have made it this far. So if Ryan could display abilities that exceeded Ducao's plan, not only would he be able to survive, but he would also receive rewards that were worthy of this adventure.
He also knew that he was the only one who could do this, because the young master was too stupid. Even if he was killed by an assassin, it would be assumed that it was done by his family. So, there had to be someone who was confirmed to be from Noxus in order to make the people of Demacia realize that there was a Noxus conspiracy going on! Then, the situation that Ducao needed would appear and help him achieve his goal. So Ryan, who had exposed his identity as a spy for Noxus but was still alive, was the only candidate.
"Understood. I'll bring his head back as promised."
Ryan promised. As though it was an illusion, he saw a hint of a smile on Ducao's face.
"There's no need to bring it back. This fool's head should be left for the Demacians … But when you return, I will report your achievements truthfully. But you know, if you die, there will be nothing left. "
Ducao turned around, and Ryan found that a dozen black shadows had appeared around him. They were all following Ducao silently. One of the black shadows passed by Ryan and gave Ryan a map of the capital of Demacia with many markings when the crows cawed. It was obvious that Ducao was giving Ryan a chance of survival: he told Ryan how to escape from the capital of Demacia, or hide for a while.
But Ryan did not feel any joy from the map. He only felt a wave of fear.
Because the person who gave him the map …
It was Runa.
