is too weak, too weak, too weak.

Chapter 49 is too weak! Too weak! Too weak! (Please continue reading!)

Li Wei truly hadn't expected that the assassin who tried to kill him would be so wealthy!

He poured all the gold coins he had looted into a small bag. He estimated the weight to be around three thousand coins!

"Is being an assassin really that lucrative? Maybe I should just quit being a lousy lord and become an assassin instead." Li Wei was somewhat shocked.

What Li Wei didn't know was that this Knight Bernard, as a silver-ranked assassin, had already successfully completed many assassination missions. As a mid-level knight with the highest success rate, the commission for hiring him was usually tens or even hundreds of gold coins. After the organization took its cut, he could still get a lot of gold coins. In addition, with the property of the assassinated people that he took away, three thousand gold coins was quite normal.

Bernard, however, was determined to redeem the land. Having earned so much, he dared not spend a single penny except for necessary expenses!

It's not that making money is difficult; it's just that the easiest ways are all written into the criminal law.

If a person can disregard morality, law, and even their own life, making money isn't actually that difficult; the difficulty lies in whether you have the life to spend it.

Three thousand gold coins, weighing over thirty kilograms, have now all gone to Li Wei.

It's just that Li Wei is very strong. Ordinary people would get tired from carrying so many gold coins, and he would actually get cramps from counting money.

Li Wei searched the assassin's house again, hoping to find the diagram of the assassin's breathing technique lineage.

So far, this assassin's speed is the fastest among all the enemies Li Wei has encountered.

If this assassin hadn't been so unaware of his own abilities, Li Wei, with his mid-level knight strength, might already be dead.

Ultimately, to Li Wei's disappointment, he did not find the inheritance diagram and had to give up.

……

As night deepened, a cold wind howled and crows cawed.

Li Wei, leaning on Frostmourne with one hand, sat at the long table in the assassin's house, eating the dry rations and water he had brought with him while waiting silently.

He has adjusted himself to his peak condition, and the minor injuries he suffered before have no effect on him at all.

He was very fortunate that his family's ancestral breathing method was a defensive breathing method, and that when faced with such a sudden attack, wearing the thickest armor was the best course of action.

Time passed by, but Li Wei felt no drowsiness whatsoever.

The next day, before dawn.

The crows returned to their nests, and soft footsteps echoed on the street outside.

Li Wei's eyes flickered, his muscles tensed, and he looked like a jaguar poised to pounce.

A slightly hesitant figure entered Bernard's mansion. He stared at the broken gate and the bloodstains in the courtyard, his black robe filled with doubt. It was the broker who was responsible for liaising with Bernard.

"What happened to Bernard? Was his house burgled while he was out on a mission last night?" The figure in black hadn't yet realized what was going on.

A towering figure, as imposing as a demon god, had appeared at the doorway, blocking the entrance. He wore a white wolf mask, and his knight's sword was stained with blood. He said menacingly, "You've finally arrived. Prepare to die!"

"You...you're Levi?! You're not dead? Where's Bernard? You killed Bernard!" the broker exclaimed, finally realizing what had happened.

But what awaited him was a cross-shaped sword light that pierced the darkness and brought the dawn!

boom!

A sword strike imbued with the power of ripples aimed directly at the broker.

A broker does not refer to a specific person.

Anyone who provides this intermediary service for the cry of the dead bird is a broker.

They are also considered members of the Deathbird's Voice, but they are not responsible for assassinations, so they are not very good at fighting.

Even so, he was a genuine, official knight.

He drew his sword and swung it at Li Wei.

Click.

Just one strike!

Under the influence of the Ripple Force, the longsword in the broker's hand flew out of his grasp, and he was completely engulfed by the Ripple Force, unable to resist it at all!

He didn't have the strength of Sir Bernard. Even Bernard met with misfortune, and he knew he was no match for Baron Levy!

Escape! You must escape!

Baron Levi's strength is terrifying. We must tell the organization about this. There's no need to waste the lives of our members on this!

Unless that big spender is willing to pay more to get one of the organization's rare top-tier assassins or even the five leaders to personally take action, silver and bronze-tier assassins would only be throwing their lives away!

He must have killed the Phantom Knight too!

But Li Wei wasn't about to let the only clue slip away. He leaped up like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

His fourth-tier Frost Wolf Breathing Technique brought explosive speed that was no joke. Although it couldn't compare to that assassin, it was more than enough compared to this broker!

Li Wei grabbed the broker's shoulder with one hand and pressed down hard!

boom.

The broker was knocked down by Li Wei's powerful blow, his head hitting the ground, spitting out blood, his head bleeding profusely.

Even though they are both official knights, the difference between him and Levi is too great!

"Too weak! Too weak! Too weak!"

Li Wei roared, his longsword piercing the broker's shoulder blade and pinning him to the ground.

"Now tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?!"

Li Wei squinted, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Sorry, no comment." The broker was quite stubborn, refusing to say anything even in this situation.

He was a trained assassin, absolutely loyal to the organization, and a fanatical believer in the Lord of Shadows!

Only such a person can serve as a crucial intermediary.

Li Wei traced Frostmourne across his chest, leaving a gaping wound where his internal organs and flesh churned, and blood flowed out as if it were free.

The broker, pale-faced, used his last breath to say, "Kill me! The Lord of Shadows will bring me back with him, making me an everlasting, cursed shadow behind you!"

puff.

Frostmourne tore the broker in two.

"Fine, don't talk nonsense. You'd be better off dead!"

After speaking coldly, Li Wei searched the broker's body, hoping to find some useful clues, but as he expected, he found nothing.

"Heh, you won't talk, huh? Come on, send more men if you dare! Come on! One day, I'll find you!" Li Wei's eyes were bloodshot as he swung his longsword in a fit of rage. He chopped the broker into mincemeat after countless blows, and the mincemeat was thrown into the fireplace, sizzling as it went.

Smelling the aroma of roasted meat, Li Wei went outside, took a deep breath of the cold, fresh air, ate some dry rations, and regained his composure and rationality.

By the time he had recovered enough, the sky was beginning to lighten, and the first rays of dawn shone on Li Wei's face, which was covered in blood and sweat. He washed himself clean in the washroom, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and remained silent.

They then confirmed that there was nothing of value inside the mansion.

He took out the resinous pine wood that Bernard had stored for heating from the warehouse and piled it all up in the mansion.

He then took a fire from the ashes and charcoal pile in the fireplace, and the raging flames engulfed everything. His figure disappeared from the mansion where the bloodshed had taken place.
