LeBlanc was obviously relieved after receiving a positive reply, and immediately said: "Then, please allow me to explain to you in detail the path I have paved for you and -"

"No need." Chen Ce suddenly interrupted the other party.

LeBlanc was still a little surprised, but he already said slowly in a tone that could not be rejected: "I already have my own plan."

"Ok?"

"If I follow your plan, I will only be led by a cunning woman like you. Now I plan to re-plan everything."

Chen Ce breathed out easily, then smiled and looked directly into the other person's beautiful eyes.

"From now on, it's not me who cooperates with you, but you who have to cooperate with me. Do you understand?"

"..." A strange look flashed across LeBlanc's eyes, and she quickly returned to her charming and submissive expression and posture.

"Of course, I will listen to you~"

After a short pause, she asked in a pitiful tone: "Then can you tell me your plan?"

"No." Chen Ce refused decisively, but the smile on his face remained.

"I can only tell you this... Although it is not advisable to use force to seize power without preparation, I will use force within reason to seize what I want."

At the same time, on the other side of the Noxus capital.

Caterina du Cuckault, the eldest daughter of General Cuckault, leaned against the wall panting, the shadow covering her beautiful and pale face.

It also covered the blood seeping between her fingers.

She is hurt.He was stabbed in the abdomen with a sword.

Fortunately, she also managed to escape.

In this moment of pain and confusion, she suddenly remembered a figure.

The man who humiliated her...

"Could it be that... what he said is true..."

Chapter 6 Carter: When a man sits at home, his name comes from heaven

Catalina dragged her injured body back home.

A few drops of blood dyed the clean carpet and chair red. With a pale face, she took out the medical supplies and briefly treated the wound.

This injury can be neither serious nor light.Not fatal, but enough to allow her to recuperate for a while.

When the gauze was completely wrapped, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She leaned on the back of the chair tiredly, the occasional stabbing pain in her abdomen and the empty silence in the room making it difficult for her to fall asleep.There were shadows hidden in the extinguished fire, and the raven's scarlet eyes seemed to be twinkling in the deep darkness - she knew it was an illusion.

She did not dare to close her eyes. All that emerged in the darkness were the horrors she had encountered not long ago... Those terrible ravens were wailing, and their scarlet eyes were staring at something... They were waiting for death, and they longed for carrion... …

Jericho Swain, the new commander...his laugh is as hoarse and shrill as the crow of a raven...

He has a pair of demon wings...his arms...that is definitely not a power that humans can possess...

He seems to be able to see everything...the devil's eyes...

He knows everything, he knows all the secrets of the empire...

Assassination...impossible...

Katarina shook her head painfully, trying to put the horrific scene out of her mind for the time being - even though she knew it was absolutely wrong for a failed assassin.

But unfortunately, she couldn't get rid of it.

The shadow of failure and the fear of death completely enveloped her. She just looked at the clock hanging on the wall and seemed to see the scarlet eyes of a raven.

Her assassination attempt failed completely.

She firmly believed that the timing of her attack was absolutely perfect...the angle, strength, and method were absolutely in line with the way of an assassin.

But she just failed.

The moment she jumped out of the shadows, the terrifying man turned around with a smile - he stretched out his left hand, which was rumored to have been chopped off in Ionia, from his coat, glowing with a scarlet glow. Illusive and terrifying... those are the arms of the devil.

And then...he spread his wings...yes, wings...

But how can humans have wings?

There is no doubt that he is a demon...a terrible demon...

In just a moment, the so-called assassination was over.It's like a child's game of pretending to be the villain and the righteous assassin.

He used his demonic powers to deflect her away, and laughed at her overestimation, claiming that she might be looking for the wrong target.

She started to run away... But this hasty and failed assassination attracted all the guards in the palace... She ran away desperately, but was stabbed with a sword in the end...

She barely managed to escape, but she didn't know how to face her father.

Marcus du Cecao, the legendary assassin of the Empire, the heroic general who led Noxus to expand to Shurima... He surrendered to Swain long before the establishment of the Trifali Council, but his daughter To assassinate his loyal commander?

This is an unacceptable choice and an unforgivable mistake.

It was her ego and desire for glory that prompted all this.

Her father was the leader of all assassin guilds, but she accepted a commission that was not handled by her father, and even against her father's wishes.

She won't regret any of the choices she made, but now may not be the time to "submit the law."

Everything is possible... Even if you fail this time, there will be another chance...

What she has to do now is to continue to hide it...

Before her father finds out...

"Damn..."

Catalina stood up despite the severe pain, and then packed up everything in the house with difficulty.

Now that her father is no longer in the manor, she must clean up all traces before the latter returns.

She quickly sorted out the blood stains on the floor, the used medicine box, and the obviously tampered cabinets, then took off the blood-stained coat and put on a clean training suit.

She controlled her facial expression in front of the mirror and used some cosmetics to cover her pale complexion.

Now, she looked like she had just finished her daily training, and there was nothing unusual except for being a little breathless.

She sat down again and breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Catalina instantly became nervous.

She wasn't sure whether the person knocking on the door was her father or someone else - in fact, the former was unlikely, since no one would knock on the door before entering their home.But at this time, she was already frightened, and any movement would make her feel extremely nervous.

She approached the door cautiously without making any sound.

The knocking on the door just stopped.

But it was replaced by a man's voice: "Dear General Marcus du Couture, I would like to discuss something with you."

Catalina was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the owner of the voice - that strange man wearing a fox mask, Swain's lackey...

Without any hesitation, she began to hold her breath, planning to drive away the other party with silence - after all, her father was indeed not at home.

In addition, the entire manor was full of guards, servants and gardeners, but the other party knocked on the door without anyone accompanying him, apparently sneaking in...

It's even possible that all the guards have been killed.

Obviously, the comer is not good.

Catalina waited quietly through a door.

But she waited for a long time but failed to hear footsteps.

Just when she was hesitant, the voice outside the house sounded again:

"I know you're in there, General du Couture."

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open - it was already locked.

The solid door lock made of mithril was fragile in front of the people outside the house, and it gradually broke open with a terrifying sound of metal breaking.

Bang - the door was completely pushed open.

A familiar figure came into view, and Catalina immediately assumed a fighting stance vigilantly - even though she was now extremely weak.

The other party's sudden intrusion made her feel surprised and uneasy.

But what makes her even more uneasy is...

The other person was not wearing a mask.

Among the creeds that assassins must abide by, the first one is this: [The true identity must not be revealed during the assassination process. If accidentally exposed, it must be ensured that no one is left alive. 】

So, the man in front of me...

Him not wearing a mask means...

He's here to kill everyone...

"Huh? Is it Miss Catalina?" The visitor - naturally Chen Ce, showed a kind smile.

"Damn..." Katarina cursed secretly, immediately retreated, and at the same time pulled out a sharp dagger from under the table.

But because she moved too much, the newly treated wound opened again, and blood continued to flow out.

"You asked me to find you before...but I came to your door...do you really still want to kill me and silence me..."

Facing the "accusation" of the red-haired girl, Chen Ce only continued to smile, "No, you misunderstood, I'm not here to see you - as I said when I knocked on the door, I'm here to see Marcus Du · General Cocao, and not our lovely Mademoiselle Caterina du Cocao.”

"You're here for Swain, right..." Katarina seemed not to have heard what the other party said, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent and uneasiness. "I failed... He ordered you to come and eradicate the roots..."

"No, no, no...you don't seem to understand what I said?"

"This matter has nothing to do with my father and family... They are all unaware... I am responsible for the work alone, and you can't even think of implicating them with the crime of being imprisoned..."

"Are my words so profound?" Chen Ce sighed helplessly, and then strode towards the house - he was sure that Marcus Du Kecao was here.

LeBlanc's information is not wrong.

It's just that the general hid on purpose.

But just when he was about to go directly past Catalina to find General Cecao, this female assassin with a fiery temper and strong nature took action.

She dragged her injured body and forcefully swung the knife, but her speed and strength were more than half weaker than usual.

Chen Ce didn't bother to waste time on her and knocked down the sharp dagger with a wave of his hand.

Then, [Deception Magic] was launched, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

Only the joking voice echoed in this spacious and luxurious house:

"So it turns out that our great General Kecao is just a coward? Watching his eldest daughter suffer but refusing to come out? Or...have you been planning to harm this good daughter who admires you since a long time ago?"

"Pity our dear Miss Caterina... She doesn't want to involve her father and family, but you treat her like this?"

"Oh, he is indeed a hero of the Empire who is devoted to Noxus... For the sake of the country, even his own daughter can be sacrificed at will, right? In your eyes, she is just a killing machine of the Empire?"

"I feel sad for her, and I feel ridiculous for you."

"Perhaps a partner like you is not worthy of trust."

After saying this, General Kecao, who was hiding in the dark, was not anxious, but Catalina was anxious first.

She would never allow anyone to slander her father's honor.

"Don't try to sow discord...!"

She picked up the dagger and slashed in the direction of the sound - although she couldn't see the invisible Chen Ce, her five senses were extremely sharp and she could roughly guess the opponent's position through the sound and the movement of objects.

Unfortunately, she failed to hit anything with her several consecutive attacks.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that the figure appeared on its own.

right in front of her.

Snap!Her wrist was grabbed again and she couldn't move.

She wanted to use her other hand to resist again, but her father's voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the corridor:

"Stop it, Katarina."
