My queen is rebelling!

Prince Hauguer looked puzzled.

Cohen briefly narrated his and Isabella, the Golden Wing's, plan to Hauguer.

Prince Hauguer's eyes gleamed, and he murmured:

"That's a good opportunity! I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with the 'Pale Wings.' No wonder they've been protecting you so much these past few days."

As he spoke, the unfortunate Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven had already woken up. Discovering his situation, a look of gray despair and dimness appeared on his face.

There was only one ending for a failed assassination and capture. Every assassin had this awareness when they entered this line of work.

Cohen coldly asked:

"Who is your superior?"

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven indifferently replied:

"Just kill me."

Cohen played with the communication stone, and said casually:

"Effien is a duchy, so it should be equipped with three Gold Badge assassins.

However, due to the situation in recent years, Effien's workload is estimated to increase sharply. There should be other Gold Badges entering.

Tell me, who is your boss?

The character 'Shield'? The character 'Witch'? The character 'Knight'?"

Unlike Silver Badges and below, who are referred to by numbers, Gold Badge assassins use single characters as code names.

Cohen looked at the assassin's face, which showed an expression of disbelief, and continued:

"Don't expect to die together. Your self-destruct scroll has already been destroyed by me. Silver Badge assassins should be qualified to receive advanced magic scrolls, right?"

Despair completely appeared on Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven's face, and he asked in a hoarse voice:

"How do you know so much? Are you a colleague?"

Cohen sneered:

"You've already accepted a job to kill me, and you still don't know who I am?"

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven was suddenly shocked. Only then did he realize that the other party was wearing a strange mask, and his figure was also very familiar. It was the target of his mission this time, the very popular 'Lord of Shadows'.

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven smiled bitterly:

"If I had known you had such powerful guards, I definitely wouldn't have taken this job."

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven hesitated:

"I actually know very little. Since you know so much about us, you should also be clear about our organizational structure.

As a Silver Badge, the only people I contact are the 'Salesman,' a Gold Badge, and a few Bronze Badges I've developed. The information I can provide is very limited, and it's unlikely to be of any value to someone like you who has a Legendary Rank guard."

Cohen shook his head:

"Whether it's valuable or not is up to me to judge. You just need to say everything you know."

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven sighed and said:

"My superior is the Gold Badge 'Knight.' He developed me a year ago.

I heard it was because one of his Silver Badge subordinates failed, so he urgently recruited me.

I've only developed five Bronze Badges during this time.

They are all mercenaries and members of third-rate gangs. Apart from these, I have nothing else to tell you."

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Only a year? Does the Gold Badge 'Knight' know your real identity?"

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven nodded uncertainly:

"He should know. He went directly to my house when he developed me. He should have investigated me."

"Then you..."

"Of course, I don't know his identity. Since you know so much about 'Black Tomb,' you should also be clear that subordinates are absolutely not allowed to inquire about everything about their superiors."

"Then what is his profession and what combat characteristics does he have? You should know, I don't believe you haven't been on missions together."

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven hesitated for a moment and said:

"He is a [Dragon Lance Knight]. His mount is a Golden Rank Storm Gryphon."

Cohen and Hauguer exchanged glances, and the latter firmly remembered the characteristics of the Gold Badge "Knight."

"Good cooperation. Okay, last question, unlock your communication stone for me."

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven stretched out his hand, signaling Cohen to bring the communication stone.

Cohen chuckled:

"You're still playing tricks at this time. Do you think I don't know that there is a hidden alarm device on the communication stone?

Just tell me the password!"

Silver Badge Two-Zero-Seven completely despaired and honestly reported a string of numbers.

Cohen opened the communication stone, and a simple page popped up.

There are several menu options at the top of the page, namely [Contacts], [Orders], [Account Balance], [Completion Rate], [Review Rate], and [Feedback].

Cohen clicked on the [Contacts] column. There are only seven frequently contacted people inside.

They are [Salesman], [Gold Badge "Knight\
