At the assassins organization's headquarters...

The three assassins had managed to reach their base and told their experience to their superiors.

They disclosed the fact that the culprits that they'd been searching for were the mistress of the feared Demon Lord Long Ren.

Hearing this, their leader clenched his fists. He recalled Han Chunhua and sent her a message.

Spring Courtyard, Imperial palace of Luo Ye country.

Han Chunhua's frowned when she read the letter sent by the leader of the assassin organization.

He demanded compensation because he had lost 3 powerful underlings.

Han Chunhua clenched her fists and sent a message back to him but he sent back a letter saying that her recklessness put her in this situation. The culprit they were asked to kill happens to be Demon Lord Long Ren's mistress.

At once, her face became pale.

"No! How can this be? They must be joking right? They couldn't fulfill the task and want me to pay compensation?"Han Chunhua fumed.

Recalling how she was refused the emperor's audience,20 minutes ago, her anger also rose to the highest peak.

She then sent the leader a threatening letter but he replied back saying that he would expose all her evil dealings to the emperor.

At once, Han Chunhua roared and began to smash things in her room startling the two maids who were standing guard outside her room.

They did not dare to enter because they knew the consequences of doing so.

Ever since Lan and Lihua were sentenced to the bull rod punishment, the servants had to take more caution than usual.
