Chapter 915 Assassination On A Stormy Night (Part One)


    Before it even got dark, rain had already began to pour hard. As it got progressively darker, the


    booming thunder and crackling lightning made people feel very depressed. For Shawn, however, the


    storm gave him an opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief as it could give him and his men a chance to


    rest. With such a heavy downpour, the Great Jade Kingdom wouldn''t be able to continue attacking the


    Dragon Pass.


    "Guard," Shawn authoritatively called out.


    "Yes, General," a guard replied respectfully.


    "I believe the heavy rains would deter the Great Jade Kingdom from trying to stage another attack


    against us. Despite that, we must not let our guards down. So deliver this message to every one of our


    soldiers: be alert and do not let your guard down. A sudden attack from the Great Jade Kingdom


    cannot be ruled out, so we all need to get ready." Shawn was always very scrupulous. Although he


    knew that Rndo wouldn''t attack the pass at such a time, he still ordered his men to be on high alert.


    "Yes, general," the guard replied, leaving at once to fulfill his duties.


    As he stood by the corridor watching the rain drench everything around him, Shawn suddenly thought


    of Felton. Before Harper left, she asked him to keep an eye on him, but he hadn''t had the opportunity


    to see him. Now that he had a bit of a downtime, he figured out it would be best if he paid him a visit.


    "General, where are you going? The rain is pouring really hard outside," the guard at the entrance


    remarked as he saw his general getting ready to leave. "You will be soaked, General, so I suggest you


    just stay inside."


    "I just want to go out for a walk." As soon as he said that, he disappeared in the rain.


    The guard scratched his head in confusion as he asked his fellow guards, "Who the hell would want to


    go on a walk in such weather?"


    His fellow guards in the entrance looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. They all


    knew that no sane human being would want to have a walk when it was raining so hard outside that


    one couldn''t see what was in front of him. Besides that, the roaring thunder and lightning would be


    enough to make anyone reconsider their ns.

    "The general has been so stressedtely. This is the first time he has had time to rest, so maybe he


    just really wants to go out and rx for a while, notwithstanding the storm."


    "Rxing... under the rain?" another guard said incredulously. "Our general sure has a peculiar way to


    rx."


    Felton lived in a quiet house located in a somewhat remote alley. While there were people passing by


    from time to time, they were generally scarce. That day''s heavy rain made sure that no one else would


    be there, except Shawn.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, something made him stop before he set foot on Felton''s


    property. Though very vague, he felt the energies of some murderous assassins lurking around. He


    didn''t know whether their target was him or Felton. If it was him, the assassins might have been


    surprised by his sudden decision to take a stroll in this raging storm; if it was Felton, well, it was his


    lucky day!


    ''Why is Shawn here?'' The assassins—all of whom were hiding behind vegetation that surrounded


    Felton''s house—were shocked. They knew that Shawn was a central figure in the Dragon Pass. Now


    that they were under intense attack by the Great Jade Kingdom, how could he have time to be there?


    They were are clueless about his reasons, but they all knew that if he stayed, their job would be a lot


    more difficult.


    Shawn hesitated for a while, but soon enough, turned around and left, disappearing into the rain.


    Because of this, the assassins breathed a collective sigh of relief. If Shawn continued to walk inside


    Felton''s house, they would definitely be exposed by him. An alerted Felton was almost impossible to


    capture, so they were thankful.


    Shawn didn''t leave, however. Instead, he entered Felton''s house from the other side of the alley. When


    the assassins didn''t follow him, he immediately knew that they were there for Felton. ''But why?'' he


    thought, confused by what was happening. As far as he was concerned, Felton was just an ordinary


    person. Why would someone hire assassins to kill him? But no matter what the reason was, he knew


    that he couldn''t let Felton get hurt.


    In the courtyard, Felton was ying the zither. The melody sounded soft and soothing, making Mathias


    feel a little bit strange. His master had told him that guests would show up that day, but it was already


    dark and the guests hadn''t appeared yet. Aside from that, it was raining hard! But soon enough, he


    realized that the melody his master was ying wasced with his spiritual power! That only meant


    one thing: the "guests" he was talking about were enemies!


    Mathias knew that he shouldn''t continue letting Felton use his spiritual power, but since the enemies


    surrounding them seemed to outnumber them and their guards, he couldn''t do anything. His master''s


    ying could be considered a protective barrier!


    Shawn had to climb the wall to get into Felton''s house, and when he did, both Felton and Mathias


    turned their heads to look at him. Although he looked like a mess—wet all over and disheveled from


    scaling the wall, Shawn wasn''t embarrassed at all. "There are numerous assassins along the front


    door''s alley. I have no choice but to climb over the wall to get in."


    "What are you doing here at this time?" asked Felton, confused and shocked. Especially in such heavy


    rain, why would Shawn think of visiting him? Somehow, he was sure that the assassins that were send


    to hurt him were top of the ss, and so he was not sure whether or not they would survive. Even


    Shawn''s life might be in danger!


    "I don''t know. I just had a sudden impulse toe here and see you. I didn''t expect that you''d have


    dangerous visitors tonight!" Shawn wiped the rain on his face. "But who are they? Do you have any


    idea?"


    "Our Qin n has many enemies. I don''t know who they are. But I''m sure they are hostile." Of course,


    Felton knew who the people lurking outside his house were. There were many spies of his enemies in


    the Dragon Pass. Besides, before Harper left, she had reminded him to be careful. But he just didn''t


    want to tell Shawn in case he might be involved in it.
