Daniel shifted his gaze to Edward again. He was just a scapegoat, and there was no need to make things difficult for him.
"No, he didn't do it."
At that, Edward couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief. At that moment, he understood Daniel wasn't someone he could provoke at all.
He was after money, but he would never sacrifice his life for it.
As soon as Daniel spoke, he suddenly looked up and smiled. "He's here!"
Alden, sensing the gravity of the situation, immediately ordered his subordinates to be on high alert. Joshua, with his sharp eyes, scanned the dark surroundings, trying to pinpoint the location of their enemies.
Meanwhile, Omari was pushed to the opposite side of the abandoned building, flanked by a group of people dressed in dark clothing, each carrying a long blade on their back.
"We only have one chance!" Remember—Daniel is highly sentimental. We must exploit that weakness!" He narrowed his gaze. "Of course, it'd be even better if we can manipulate Jennifer."
Nyx, wheeling him, was confused. "I thought Jennifer and Daniel aren't on the best of terms now."
"Even better!" Omari glanced at his severed leg. "But it's precisely because Daniel resents her that he's less likely to allow others to kill her. That… is also one of his weaknesses."
Nyx laughed.
"Go on!" Omari waved.
The assassins from Sunrise Isle, who had been lurking for days, no longer waited and began to blend into the night.
At the same time, Daniel also spotted Omari. "I originally planned to spare you for another two days, but I didn't expect you to serve yourself on a platter! Well, I guess the timing doesn't matter anymore, does it?"
Daniel sneered, then glanced at Joshua and said, "These people aren't bad. Want to give it a try?"
