Matthew was shocked.
However, he thought that since even the crown prince was tolerant of how outrageous Melvin was
acting, it only meant that Melvin was no ordinary man.
Melvin could be an extremely skilled person hiding in such a city.
Thus, he explained to Melvin what had transpired the night before.
Listening to Matthew's retelling of the incident, Melvin nodded.
"Alright, I have heard enough.Let's go find the culprit!"
Saying that, he kept his mirror and comb by his chest, patted his bottom, and led the way.We're going
now? Matthew was dumbfounded.
Regardless, he and the crown prince followed after Melvin before he quietly tugged on the crown
prince, whispering, "Who is this man?"
The crown prince shrugged.
"Frankly speaking, I don't know much.The rumors from the northwest has it that he was a ruthless man,
but none of the rumors clearly indicate his identity.Regardless, he had saved me and my mother a few
years ago.I've actually stayed with him for two years."
Matthew nodded after listening to the crown prince's explanation.
Looks like Melvin Lennon is indeed not an ordinary man.
The three of them went back to the crown prince's car before squeezing into the sports car.
Under Melvin's direction, they drove the car to the suburbs of the city, and came to a stop in a remote
village.
After that, Melvin pointed at a house at the east end of the village.
"There.The assassin you're looking for is in there.However, I'm guessing there's more than one of them
inside, so you'll have to tread lightly."
Matthew nodded before heading over to the house with the crown prince in tow.
As the two stood in front of the door, Matthew asked the crown prince to keep a lookout
outside.Subsequently, he pushed open the door and entered the house.
Inside, only eerie silence filled the house.
The moment Matthew entered, he could clearly feel that there were small movements in the house, but
even those movements stopped soon after.
Clearly, the ones in the house had already realized his presence.
Nevertheless, he went deeper into the house while practicing great caution.
As the curtains were drawn and there was no lighting, the inside of the house was rather dim.
Matthew raised his attention to the maximum while walking deeper into the house.
However, just after three steps in, he heard something from on top of him.He looked up to find a man
dressed in black falling toward him with a knife clearly aiming at him.
Simultaneously, two other men leaped out from the dark corners of the room and came at Matthew
from both sides.
Furthermore, he could hear a weapon drawn from behind him as well.No doubt there's someone hiding
behind the door.
Right now, the only option left for him was to move forward.
In front of Matthew was a large empty space with only a table in it.
On top of that table was a wooden box.
Having not the luxury of thinking, Matthew rushed forward to evade the incoming attacks.However, the
moment he took a step forward, the floor beneath him collapsed a little, which immobilized his
movement.
Immediately after that, the wooden box on the table opened before three blades came flying like bullets
at him.
No one would have been able to imagine such a situation, that the real danger was that wooden box on
the table, Regardless, all efforts to avoid the incoming blades at such a distance would be in vain.
With a grunt, Matthew immediately tore off his sleeve and used it to knock the blades aside, avoiding
certain death.
Following that, the assassins behind him made their move instantly and came at Matthew once more.
Matthew immediately rolled on the ground to avoid their attacks before scattering the silver needles he
was holding at the assassins.
Two of the men screamed as they were stabbed by the needles before falling to the ground, while the
other two decided to make their retreat after considering the situation.
Matthew acted swiftly and caught one of the men by their ankle, causing the man to fall on his front
which resulted in a few of his ribs being broken.
The last man standing had already reached the front door, but his escape was in vain as the prince—
who was guarding the door—kicked the assassin back into the room immediately.
And so, Matthew came over and dragged the assassin back into the house.
After the scuffle, Matthew checked the rest of the house and found that there were no other people
here besides the four assassins he encountered.
Taking a glance at the four, Matthew immediately recognized the one responsible for filling the room
with poison the night before.
It was just as Melvin said—the culprit was really hiding in this house.
