After being followed by Garen through the alley for a while, the black shadow in front suddenly turned left and ducked out of the alley

Garen avoided a puddle and continued his pursuit with light, careful footsteps No round of the person he killed the other day, whether they would be able to trace his identity or not At this point, it wasn't just about Attribute points but, more importantly, about the safety of his family and himself

He turned into a dirty alley even narrower than the last one The sound of awith a woman could be heard from the apartments above The whole alley was filled with the stench of rotting food and waste

The person in front was kneeling beside a garbage bin with his hand inside it, digging for so soundly on either side of him

Garen quietly stood at the corner of the alley and peered into it, borrowing the faint light radiating down froh the bin and dug out a black leather purse He stuck his hand inside the purse, felt around a little and pulled out a s the key, he quickly looked around and continued to move forward

Garen retracted his head and hid behind the corner hen the person turned He slowly stuck his head out again after waiting for the sound of the footsteps to fade away

Without warning, thepain in his waist

He reflexively swung his right elbow backward

Bang!

Soroan The elbow strike had left the The person tried to turn around and escape, but only round They struggled a few ti, but it was already his second real fight Coupled with the changes in his mentality previously, this time was completely different from the first He wasn’t as panicked compared to before

He suppressed his nerves and took a few deep breaths He examined his waist where he was stabbed: there was a tear in his clothes, apparently caused by a ser-like weapon, but his skin was uninjured

"If it wasn’t forExplosive Fist Arts for self-defense which solidifiedTechnique, that stab would have killed ht at where his kidney was A shiver ran down his spine

Garen walked up to the ht hand His clothes were dirty, as if they hadn't been washed in a long time He looked like an ordinary ho now Master Jah and glared at Garen with his beady green eyes A trace of blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth, his head bent askew, and he was dead There was a hint of black in the blood that spilled from his mouth: poison

The e to even ask about the situation Garen crouched to check his pulse and breathing: he was indeed dead

Garen felt like he had been dragged into a war between two forces Theforce, and coht just to prevent hi any information

The harshness and cruelty of this warrior, so ready to die, made Garen shudder

"He probably wasn't sent to specifically tail , and this guy here was probably sent to killthat person He could also be a spy frohly unlikely that I've been exposed" Garen breathed a sigh of relief after analyzing the general situation It was clear that his accidental killing had beenside

"No wonder when I stopped the car the man so decisively ordered fortiht about the situation, the more he realized that these were the facts

He looked around hi of the ho voices from the block above could still constantly be heard, with so call sounds from time to tiold coin with black and gold stripes in the inner pocket of his coat Without taking a second look at it, he shoved the gold coin in his pocket and left the same way he came

He crept out of the alley when the crowd thinned He acted as if nothing had happened and went around the city center in circles It wasn't until the bell tower in the city chied ho

Garen shut the front door, changed into slippers and went into the living roo roo the newspaper on the sofa with his legs crossed into a figure four He earing black pajaht twitch in his brows

Eisen was a pluo hair and a full white beard; he looked like a passionate football coach

When he saw that Garen was back, he lifted his pluave him a little nod, but didn't say a word

"Where's mom?" Garen tried to act naturally as he re it on the coat rack by the door

"Since it's a holiday, she's gone to the block across the street for coffee at Madame Cadney's," Eisen answered casually "You only ca next tierous outside when it's late There have been a few murders in the city recently They've all happened in places where there were very few people about Do take care to avoid such places"

"Yeah, I know I heard so it" Garen nodded

"Especially you, always running around in places with very few people"

"Okay"
