The server was beside Lord Nine Brown, placing the tray on the table, and lifting the lid.
Suddenly, without warning, something unexpected happened!
The server's body was covered with dark curse seals, and with a flash, a black dagger magically appeared in his hand out of nowhere.
He took advantage of the moment when the view was blocked by the act of removing the tray lid, and lightning-fast, he stabbed towards Lord Nine Brown who was close at hand!
Upon sensing the sudden surge of murderous intent, Leonard Churchill's pupils constricted sharply, and he gasped in his mind, "A formidable assassin!"
But by the time he noticed, the assassin's knife was already aimed at Lord Nine Brown's throat.
The attack came so quickly that before the image in his eyes could fully transmit into a signal in his brain, the pitch-black tip of the knife had already pierced the skin.
The throat is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, with many unprotected blood vessels and nerves.
