Although the poison didn't act immediately, the assassin still felt unwell. Fortunately, he wore gloves, so the poison didn't directly touch his skin; otherwise, it wouldn't just be discomfort.
Damn it!
The assassin cursed under his breath. For years, he had never failed on the job. He hadn't expected to fall into the hands of a woman.
No matter, even if he fell, he still had to complete the mission first. Luckily, he had a good physique and could hold on for an hour or two.
Moreover, he also realized he had been ambushed, quite possibly poisoned. The fastest way to detoxify was naturally to find the person responsible for the poisoning.
So today, he must see Jiang Xue no matter what, preferably to take the antidote from her and to kill her.
The assassin's plan seemed fine, but he didn't know it would fall through. Because at that time, Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue were just outside the door. If he left now, he might still make it.
