At this moment, all sorts of hushed whispers appeared in the entire tavern.

"Did he say 'kill' just now?"

"I heard it too! These guys seem to be a little dangerous!"

"Having dressed like this, they definitely aren't normal people."

"I heard that someone died in this tavern this morning. It seems like it was from two people that wore black cloaks who killed them!"

"Stop it, stop it, don't let them hear you!"

Table after table of customers quietly stood up and left the tavern. Soon, only Mike's occupied table was left in the tavern.

The tavern owner stared at them with wide eyes. After all, these customers were all potential paying customers to the tavern owner! But he dared not to say anything.

Others might only have some guesses or heard some rumors, but he had seen it with his own two eyes. It was these very two people who had killed two guards here in the morning!

He did not expect that these two guys would be released so brazenly after only half a day!

It seemed that their 'history' was very strong. Such people were definitely not to be provoked!

With this in mind, the tavern owner silently took a cup of pure milk and delivered it to Mike's table.

"Dear guests, if you have anything else, just let me know. I might have to go behind the bar and check the storage by myself for a while now."

The tavern owner put down the milk and left quickly after he gave a few instructions. He did not dare to leave directly for fear of provoking the Gods of Pestilence.

However, he did not dare to stay here either as that too could provoke the gods of pestilence too. With great thought, he came to the conclusion of using this method to deal with it.

Fortunately, the two cloaked guests did not say anything and only nodded slightly. As the backdoor of the tavern was closed by the owner to 'tend' to his storage, only Timus, Mike, and Crow were left in the tavern.

"You're really... quite a high-profile person..." Crow said helplessly. This was the first time she had dealt with such a guy.

This style of doing things was something she had never come into contact with before.

Mike took a sip of milk and spoke seriously, "At least now there's no one here, isn't there?

"Then we can be rest assured and plot out the details of the specific plan I just requested."

When Timus heard this, he looked at Mike in confusion and asked, "Plot? But the entire tavern now knows that we're intending on killing someone next."

"That's not important." Mike waved his hand and forcibly avoided the question Timus just brought up.

He looked straight at Crow and calmly spoke, "So, what's your answer?

"Yes or No?"

Mike naturally referred to the suggestion of him requesting for Crow to do the dirty work for him.

Crow was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Do I have the option to refuse?"

"Of course not." Mike smiled even more happily.

"... So, who do you want me to kill?" Crow really did not like dealing with such people. She planned to get straight to the point and to quickly understand the details of the commission.

That way, the sooner she completes the commission, the sooner she would never have to deal with this high-profile guy again.

"Very good, I like your directness. It's always easier to deal with people like you."

Crow picked up the glass of lemonade and gulped a mouthful into her mouth. She muttered in her heart, 'It's not easy to deal with people like you though.'

But when she heard Mike's words, Crow's hand froze in the air.

"You should know the person I want you to kill.

"The first princess of the Ancient City of Life, first in line for the throne to become queen, Veronica Sabrina. How is it? This mission is not difficult for you, right?"

As Mike spoke, he gulped down another mouthful of milk. This act caused a pale white mark to be imprinted on his upper lip. This image, coupled with what he said made it much more difficult for people to think that he was serious.

Therefore, Crow naturally raised a baffling question, "Are you serious?"

Mike grinned again, "Of course I'm serious. Who would joke about such a thing?"

"..."

Logically, it had to be said that there was nothing wrong with his words. Naturally, no one would joke about assassinating the elf princess.

However, another issue appeared in Crow's at the same time. "With your strength, you should be able to do this very easily. Why are you looking for me to do it?"

"Because of your concealment skills," Mike answered quickly and decisively, almost as soon as Crow's voice fell.

He raised his right index finger and spoke his next line seriously, "Although our time together is very short, you must have a simple impression of me.

"As you can see, I am a very low-key and cautious person."

As she heard this, Crow's eyes, which were hidden in the hood, twitched twice.

Timus too found an angle that Mike could not see and made a vomiting expression. Cautious and very low-key? He was unsure if Mike was speaking about himself. Both Crow and Timus really underestimated the extent of Mike's shamelessness.

Mike did not have any reaction to their behavior at all and continued on, "If I were to do this, I would definitely do it in a very high-profile manner. By doing so, the whole world would know that I killed the elf princess.

"Of course, within that time, I might even accidentally demolish the entire Ancient City of Life to the ground."

Crow's eyes twitched twice yet again, and Timus revealed an expression of disbelief. Did Mike not just f*cking say that he was a very cautious and very low-profile person?

Why did he just confirm that he would be very high-profile?

These were both very contradicting statements!!!

However, Mike still did not care about their reactions. Instead, he leaned forward slightly and said to Crow, "I really admire your skills. If you were the one to do this, you would definitely be able to do it without anyone knowing.

"I think that if you were the one that completed the assassination, it would save us all a lot of trouble.

"Of course, if this matter would bring me any trouble, it has nothing to do with you.

"You just need to wash the blood off your hands in this matter.

"How is it? Is it easy for you?"

Crow fell silent once again.

She did not think that this mission was easy. However, she had no say in her choice.

Assassinating the elf princess might cost her her life. On the other hand, if she refused, she would definitely lose her life.

Since she was stuck between a rock and a hard place, it was better to choose a path with a higher chance of survival. At least, there was still a chance to take it as a gamble!

"Alright, I'll accept this mission."

"Very good!" Mike smiled and clapped lightly. "But I won't let you work for free. Other than buying back your life, I'll also give you some rewards that you'll be satisfied with."

"I hope so." Crow begrudgingly nodded and left the tavern.

She really did not want to stay by Mike's side anymore.

Now, only Mike and Timus were left in the tavern.

Timus finally asked the question he had been keeping in his heart this whole time, "Teacher, why do you drink milk in the tavern?"

"Because it makes me feel special."

"..."
