After just a few seconds, Clinton died from both poisoning and the stab into his heart. In any case, both the poison and the attack on his heart were fatal. So, unless Clinton possessed something that was capable of healing him, he was definitely going to die.
Henry and the rest of the group were actually not much surprised about this. At the end of the day, Julie was actually five levels ahead of Clinton.
But of course, what surprised them was the fact that Julie was going to take action. Even they themselves had a difficult time to be able to keep an eye on Julie all the time. She was an assassin, and although she had not yet gotten much proficient, but still, she was capable of handling herself quite well.
This was actually the reason why Henry had actually given her several skills that matched her profession. With the skills that he had given her, she was now capable of moving around quite well and easily.
