Chapter 356: Whose Illegitimate Son Are You?

In order not to arouse the assassins suspicion, I can only sacrifice my reputation.

Rheagar looked at the two of them in a daze.

What are you talking about? What is it about assassins and a man? After a long time.

Under Matthews incessant chatter and Lorraines undressing display, he finally understood the situation.

You mean that Alena sent her cousin to dress up as her to divert the trouble and negotiate with me, but in the end, her cousin just happens to be your friend? And your friend here claims that our ball will be attacked by assassins?

Is that right?

Rheagar stared at Lorraine suspiciously.

Lorraine waved his hand.

Thats what happened. I apologize on behalf of Alena. I believe you can understand her difficulties.

Rheagar thought for a moment.

I can understand Alenas difficulties, but I doubt your intelligence.

The security of Rolling Stone Town has always been very good. Ive never seen any assassins or killers.

Matthew reminded,

The Drow Assassin troop that Lorraine mentioned matches the rumours about Red Mountain that we discussed before. We have to be on guard.

Rheagar nodded. Youre right. Then what should we do?

Lorraine replied,

Its very simple. The targets of the assassins on both sides are you and me. Then lets stay together for the rest of the night.

We cant stay in the changing room all the time. The assassins will get suspicious, but we cant mix in the crowd either. That might hurt others. Is there any open space nearby that is suitable for assassins to attack? Rheagar immediately replied,

The back garden is next to here, but no one usually takes care of it. Most of the landscape has been abandoned. There are only some weeds. It looks okay at night, not too dilapidated.

Lorraine said decisively,

Thats it then. The two of us will go to the back garden to lure the assassin. Matthew, go and inform the other reliable helpers to get ready.

The three of them quickly discussed for a while.

Not long after.

The three of them deliberately wrinkled some of the details of their clothes and then left the changing room one after another under everyones watchful eyes.

Matthew thought regretfully.

The hands on the clock moved diligently.

An hour later.

The number of people on the dance floor decreased. Some of them went to the other changing rooms in the corridor, while the older ones left one after another.

Matthew looked at the audience in confusion.

He had yet to find any trace of the assassin. Could it be that Lorraines information was wrong?

Thats not possible.

Matthew had seen the power of alley gossip before. After the incident in Marsh City, Lorraine had successfully advanced to become a demigod. His related abilities must have been further strengthened. Besides, he had no reason to lie about such things.

But where did the assassin go?

Matthews eyes revealed a hint of determination. What a patient assassin!

Let me see how long you are willing to hide!

He turned around and looked in the direction of the backyard.

I should get them in here soon. There arent many people on the dance floor. If they keep walking around in one place, it will arouse suspicion.

Matthew yawned and thought.

Another hour passed.

It was one oclock in the morning.

There was still no sign of the assassin.

The interaction between Rheagar and Lorraine had shifted from the back garden to the dance floor. The two of them danced all kinds of dances that Matthew had never seen before.

It had to be said.

Rheagars acting skills were also considered professional. He looked as if he was really mesmerized by Alienas beauty.

The two of them danced until they were exhausted.

In the end, they lay on Matthews sofa without any regard for their images.

The three of them stared at each other on the sofa. Matthew rubbed his eyes in a daze and asked,

What time is it?Immerse Yourself in the Storyverse: N♡vεlB¡n.
