But none of that mattered anymore.
He had originally thought that out of the eight assassins, he could at least capture one or two.
That way, once they were sentenced, the lifespan he had lost would be added back.
Unexpectedly, only one of the eight assassins was left, and even then, he died by Li Nuo's hand.
Legalism places extreme importance on procedure.
After a case is filed and a sentence is pronounced, even if he were to commit suicide, it would not affect the addition to his lifespan.
But if he killed someone before filing a case and without sentencing, would the Law Code recognize it?
Li Nuo's gaze looked forward; the "Law Code" quietly hovered in front of his eyes.
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
But the two lines of text on the cover completely chilled his heart.
"Name: Li Nuo."
"Lifespan: one day."
Seeing the number on the last line, his heart sank completely.
It hadn't increased after all.
