"Boss! Is this the place?" The man glanced at the residence's layout.
"Yes." The other man nodded.
The two of them, moving cautiously, were about to enter. Just then, a figure in black emerged from the residence. Judging by their build, it was a woman.
"What are you two doing here?" The woman seemed somewhat surprised to see them. "Weren't you at the stronghold? Why have you come all the way out here?"
Her tone was ice-cold, hinting at a killer's intent and revealing an absolute alertness and sharp perception.
"Well..." the two men hurriedly explained, "the stronghold has issued a mission."
Hearing this, the woman frowned. "A mission? What mission?"
"The Great Village Chief received word that the Imperial Court will be transporting a shipment of military supplies to Nanjiang Pier. He wants you to join the operation in three days to intercept it."
