Before claiming the reward for the female assassin, there were some preparations to be made.
Lu Yan first shot two sleeve arrows each into the heart and abdomen of the female assassin, then sprinkled a handful of chili powder on her face.
After setting up, Lu Yan lifted the assassinal corpse and started to walk out.
However, no sooner had he left his dwelling than three men approached him.
Lu Yan frowned, wanting to avoid unnecessary trouble, but dismissed the idea after recognizing their uniforms.
The three men also spotted Lu Yan and quickly ran towards him.
"You are... a Red-clad Guard of the Liu Family? What happened?"
Having seen the corpse in Lu Yan's hands, the three men surrounded him.
"And you are?"
Lu Yan asked in return.
He could guess their identities from their clothes, but he still needed confirmation.
"We are members of the Zhou Clan."
One of them took out a golden-yellow metal token engraved with the character 'Zhou'.
