That night, in the guest room of the tavern, Mike felt as if someone stood above him.

He slowly opened his eyes, and bestowed upon him was Crow's fair face.

At that moment, Crow's face was paler than usual. Coupled with her rapid breath, it was obvious that Crow was not in a good condition.

Mike looked at Crow with a puzzled expression and asked, "You... Why aren't you wearing a hood?"

"... is this question very important right now?" Crow's face gave off an ugly expression.

"It's quite important to me, yes." Mike slowly sat up.

Due to the changed angle of his sight, Mike managed to pick up other details of his surroundings and Crow's features.

Crow's left hand was being dragged down, and her arm bled non-stop. On the ground, was a hoodie that had been cut open.

Mike was slightly stunned. He looked at Crow's ugly expression and revealed a mocking smile. "I say, did you just attack me while I was sleeping?"

"..."

Crow did not answer, but in Mike's eyes, this was no different from acquiescence. Her silence spoke volumes.

"Let me guess. Although I don't know what your goal is, you did want to kill me while I was asleep.

"However, your attack was blocked by me, in my sleep.

"Not only did you fail to hurt me, but you were also injured in the process.

"Am I right?"

The smile on Mike's face turned crooked, and Crow's face became even more unsightly. Obviously, he had guessed correctly.

"So, what do you plan to do?"

Crow covered the wound on her arm as she panted slightly. She knew that the man in front of her looked very indecent, but he was very ruthless at the crucial moment.

She most likely will not survive in this situation. As she stood in front of this man, she knew she would not be able to escape.

This was because he was too powerful, so powerful that it was incomprehensible.

How could someone block and counterattack while asleep?!

It could be expected for her to wait upon her death now.

However, what she did not expect was that Mike did not care too much about the attack just now. Instead, he asked about another matter.

"How's the assassination of the Princess going?"

Crow was slightly stunned. His question baffled her again.

Was this man not in rage?

Was he not furious? She had planned to kill him just now!

Why did this guy not care about this matter at all?

Was it perhaps, that the assassination of the princess was very important to him? Of course, although Crow was very confused, she knew what she should say next.

"It's done." Crow calmly with her eyes fixed on Mike.

She wanted to know how this man was going to deal with her. After all, she had already done what she had to do for him. She had almost lost her left doing so.

Maybe he would kill her right now to prevent her from leaking out this matter.

However, she expected the unexpected.

"It's fine as long as you're done. You can go now."

Mike lay back on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and signaled the direction of the door with his eyes closed.

"Close the door for me when you go out. Thanks."

"..."

Crow fell silent again.

She could not understand the thoughts that the man in front of her had. Nonetheless, she was happy with the result. As for the benefits that Mike had promised, she dared not mention it again. She was lucky to live for another day.

Crow silently walked to the door and mindfully looked towards Mike from the crack of the door before she closed it.

This guy was very special and yet, also very annoying.

It was because of this guy that she had lost an entire organization that was easy to manipulate.

Now, she had to leave the city and find a new place to live.

As for this man...

Anyway, she had already left him a 'surprise.'

When her thoughts went back to it, a rare smile appeared on Crow's mouth and she closed the door.

The room was quiet again.

And Mike fell back asleep again.

…

Mike felt someone push on him, so he slowly opened his eyes. What he saw were many torches.

Mike, who had just woken up from his sleep, felt that these flames were a bit dazzling. He subconsciously raised his hand to try and block these dazzling flames.

To his surprise, he found that his hands were bounded to iron shackles.

"What's going on?" Mike frowned in dissatisfaction and muttered softly to himself.

"What's going on?! Heh!" An elven man in armor walked out from among the elves beside Mike's bedside. He looked down at Mike, widened his eyes, and shouted,

"Is your name F*ck?!"

When Mike heard this, he was taken aback, "Yes, it's me. What seems to be the issue?

"I can tell that you're most likely a member of the elven royal family. But I'm telling you, no matter who it is, you can't barge into someone's room in the middle of the night and disturb their sleep!"

Mike's tone was very relaxed. Although he did not know what had just happened, he did not think that these annoying vermin could hurt him.

However, the next sentence of the armored elven man completely stunned Mike.

"He admitted it! Take him away!"

After the man spoke, he pointed at one of the young elves who was dressed as a guard and said, "You, go and inform Her Majesty the Queen and Her Highness the Princess that we have arrested the murderer of the Eldest Princess!"

"Yes, General Osmond!" The young guard replied and walked out of the door.

Meanwhile, Mike sat on his bed in shock, his thoughts were in a mess.

What was going on?

Why did these guys say that I was the murderer of the eldest princess?

What exactly went wrong?

However, before he could figure out the situation, these soldiers had already surrounded him, they intended to bring Mike back for interrogation.

"I say, wait, is there a mistake somewhere?" Mike could not help but ask. Although he did not have to worry about the upcoming trial with his strength, he still wanted to figure out the situation first.

"A mistake? Ha!"

General Osmond sneered and said to Mike word by word, "You should be very clear with what is happening now, right? We have evidence!

"You did such a bold action, and now you want to deny it?!

"At first, I thought you were a warrior, but I didn't expect you to be a dirty and weak mouse!"

This time, Mike was even more confused.

He wanted to say 'you have no evidence', but the other party actually told him that they had evidence.

Wait, evidence?

Mike paused for a second, and a thought popped into his head.

Had Crow been arrested?!
