Chapter 129: The Astonishnt of a Legendary Assassin
Indeed!
William’s mind was as clear as a mirror, just as he had guessed.
With mories from his past life, he knew that Ashley’s talent was “Child of Shadows,” which was quite suitable for those in the assassin profession. He just didn’t expect even Joyce to be tempted to take him as an apprentice.
And not only did Joyce express it so directly to him, did he feel that there were so things that didn’t need to be hidden from him anymore?
Although William had probably guessed the situation of the Cain family, he could only pretend not to know until Joyce took the initiative to reveal it.
Looking like this, Joyce should be sure that he had already guessed sothing, after all, with Apollo as his godlike teammate, but he still didn’t know as much as he thought he did.
“So, what are you suggesting?”
Since the big shot didn’t intend to conceal anymore, William naturally switched to a respectful tone.
As for , William, honesty is my policy!
“So, when her elder wake up, I plan to ask for his opinion.”
Joyce looked at William with a smile, sowhat relieved.
William had beco so outstanding, which was also why Joyce was willing to disclose his identity to him.
If William were just an ordinary person, not knowing Joyce’s identity would have been the best protection for him.
“I understand, you can rest assured.”
William nodded, understanding the big shot’s aning, his serious expression almost reaching the point of promising with his hand on his chest.
Big shot, I’ll handle it, you can trust !
Joyce nodded, still elegant, but in William’s eyes, that was clearly the composure and deanor of a legendary powerhouse.
“Young Master William, since you’ve guessed sothing, I won’t say much more.”
“When you have enough strength, I will tell you everything.”
“In the future, you don’t need to be so respectful, after all, your father and I are brothers.”
With the big shot’s affirmation, William felt reassured.
Joyce smiled, he was quite satisfied with William now.

“Where am I?”
Jack struggled to open his eyes, feeling pain all over his body, his limbs weak and powerless, which made him, a golden-level strongman, sowhat uncomfortable.
But what he saw when he opened his eyes wasn’t the familiar black of his own shop, but the deep yellow ceiling with fine patterns.
“You’re awake?”
“It seems the physician we hired is quite skilled, you’ve regained consciousness so quickly.”
Hearing this sowhat familiar voice, Jack was dazed for a mont before he realized who was speaking.
“If it wasn’t necessary, I wouldn’t have co to you.”
“Is the situation so serious?”
William was curious. After all, with Jack’s character, he must have left so backup plan.
“You should already know, it’s the vampire who attacked , right?”
Jack said weakly, Ashley should have already told William so of the situation.
“Yeah, it’s the vampire who was hunting its own kind before.”
William nodded, these things weren’t hard to guess.
“I only realized it after our confrontation.”
Jack sighed and continued:
“This vampire’s actions in the lower city have caused quite a stir.”
“Not only the city guards and the Dawn Church, but even the underground forces in the lower city are looking for him.”
“If those people can’t find this vampire, they’ll certainly do everything to find first.”
“With my current condition, I really can’t be sure if I can protect myself and little Ashley under that level of search.”
William frowned. He could understand the city guards and the Dawn Church looking for Marion, but why would the underground forces in the lower city be after Marion? Are they seeking revenge for those dead vampires?
William didn’t believe in the brotherly sentint between those people; there must be a problem.
But that was the extent of Jack’s intelligence, and he didn’t know the thoughts of those hidden forces in the shadow of Canlight City.
“Why would that vampire co after you?”
This was the question William was most concerned about, because this matter was sowhat beyond William’s expectations; there shouldn’t have been such a situation in the plot of his previous life.
Jack’s face suddenly beca vivid, filled with both resentnt and a hint of fear.
“That guy is just a lunatic, he’s out of his mind!”
William was now quite curious, what was going on? But after listening to Jack’s explanation, his expression beca peculiar, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed to do so.
You’re truly pitiful! Being freeloaded with a treasure and inexplicably getting beaten up.
Jack took a few deep breaths, adjusting his emotions, and said to William seriously:
“I might need your help during this ti. I’m willing to pay any price as long as I can ensure the safety of and Ashley!”
“No problem!”
For William, this was just a matter of raising his hand, and being able to establish cooperation with Jack could be considered an unexpected joy.
Of course, William had sothing to trouble Jack with right now.
“There’s sothing I’d like to consult you about.”
So soon? Jack was sowhat surprised but still said, “No problem, go ahead.”
“I have an elder who saw Ashley.”
“He likes her very much and wants to take her as an apprentice, I don’t know…”
Jack stared at William dumbfoundedly, finding it hard to believe that William’s nerve was so thick.
What’s going on? Are you trying to undermine ?
Tell the truth! Did you have this idea when you ca to my place before?
But having just made his promise, Jack felt awkward about refusing directly. He took a deep breath and said:
“I don’t know who your elder is, but I’d like to et him.”
In fact, Jack wasn’t too concerned about Ashley having one more teacher, after all, it was possible for a professional to have several teachers during their growth.
However, Jack still wanted to et the elder ntioned by William. If it was just a silver-level professional, he felt it wasn’t necessary for Ashley to waste her ti.
William rubbed his nose and pointed behind him, saying:
“It’s the one behind .”
What! Jack suddenly looked up and saw an elderly man with gray hair standing quietly behind William, surrounded by a hidden aura.
Soone has been standing there all along, my subconscious was misled, and I didn’t even notice!
Jack looked at Joyce in astonishnt, with an expression of disbelief.
Joyce nodded slightly at Jack, no longer concealing his aura. A sharp and extrely intimidating pressure bypassed William and extended towards Jack.
“Cough! Cough!”
Jack gritted his teeth. Just as he sensed this pressure, he understood what kind of existence the old man standing behind William was.
A legendary assassin!
The pinnacle powerhouse on this continent!
Luckily, Joyce’s pressure was fleeting, otherwise Jack’s heavily injured body wouldn’t have been able to bear it.
Jack heaved a sigh of relief, recovering from the shock just now.
He felt sowhat unable to accept such a stimulating situation and looked at William with an extrely complicated gaze.
“What kind of person are you exactly?”
“A legendary mage takes you as an apprentice, and a legendary assassin is your elder!”
“Are legendary powerhouses, which ordinary people struggle to find, so common to you?”
“Why haven’t you reached the peak yet?”
