Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Quest Rewards: Unlock a new map, receive a massive 5 billion experience points, and the title "Path to Legend".

In addition to the increased basic attributes, this new title also features a new aura, which is an upgrade of the [Weakness Aura Ring] that Anran previously obtained. Based on the level difference, it causes attribute suppression to all non-legendary creatures.

There are no restrictions.

The Weakness Aura Ring is only an 80-level item and is no longer effective against these high-level monsters.

But this halo is different. Even if you are a star field ruler, An Ran can suppress you by mindlessly stacking experience and leveling up to a higher level.

A true weapon for crushing noobs, and there's no limit to the number of times you can suppress them.

Compared to that, 5 billion experience points are nothing.

Anran specifically asked Ella how she sensed the key.

Ella didn't understand the principle either, she just vaguely said that this thing was destined for her.

"..."

If I didn't see it every day...

An Ran thought that two Western saints from the primordial world had suddenly appeared beside her.

That's what they love to say the most.

The masked man stared at the key.

It’s over.

He was utterly despondent.

The woman seemed to realize the importance of the key.

The items are definitely gone, and the person is probably going to die too.

I regret it so much. I wish he hadn't come.

The chances of success are much higher if you go directly to assassinate the family that issued the mission.

An Ran squatted down: "Actually, I think we can cooperate."

The masked man muttered, "What kind of cooperation?"

“You’re interested in this key, and I’m interested in this key too. Aren’t we on the same side?” An Ran said “doubtfully.”

How shameless!

The masked man did not answer.

"I've come up with a plan!" An Ran's eyes gleamed. "There are five keys in total, and we only have one right now..."

Damn it, the key was already in your hands!

"Now we have a chance to win the second round!"

I originally had a chance too!

"If you cooperate with me and expose the person who issued the quest, we have a hundred plans to get the key from him! That way, you won't die, we'll get two keys, and we'll reach 40% of the progress right away. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

What you're saying is giving me a heart attack...

The key is in your hand, so what does it have to do with me?

“If you’re not willing to cooperate, I’ll have to find other assassins,” An Ran said regretfully. “We should be on the same side.”

How could you be so shameless?

"Never mind, I'll go talk to other people about collaborations..."

"Wait!" the masked man called out to An Ran.

"you……"

"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you!"

There may still be a chance to save his life.

"You made a wise choice!" An Ran was delighted. "Tell me your name first?"

“Ibn”.

"It's been a pleasure working with you. Now, can you tell me who issued the mission?"

Iben grimaced, still in pain: "It was the Wang family who did it, the Wang family that's currently working under the Second Prince of the Elimeria Empire."

Wang family?

An Ran frowned.

Chapter 19 Do one job, get paid three times

"It's pretty much a done deal. Others may not know, but I know for sure that the Hanging Gardens of Capari ended up being registered under the royal family's name after all the twists and turns," Ibn said.

He paused for a moment: "Considering what happened recently, the possibility is even higher..."

"Okay, stop talking, I understand."

Anran stopped Ibn from continuing.

Just as Ibn said, there is a very high possibility that the royal family is the mastermind behind it all.

But was the Wang family's action instigated by the Second Prince?

This is crucial.

There's no such thing as a lasting friendship with someone like the Second Prince; the only thing that can be discussed openly is self-interest.

Moreover, there is no such thing as friendship between them.

The initial collaboration was just Enron extorting a hefty sum of money from them.

The energy coins, worth five trillion peals, cost the Second Prince a fortune.

He was definitely unhappy.

At this point, it makes perfect sense to find an excuse to sneak around and ambush someone.

"The most crucial thing is..."

An Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.

Everyone else looked at her with suspicion.

“This task has been posted for many days now,” An Ran said.

Ibn nodded: "I accepted the mission within two hours of it being posted. Excluding the time I spent traveling, it took about eight days."

An Ran murmured, "Eight days, that's about enough time. A force of that level couldn't possibly be unaware of such a major mission as the Assassin's Ladder. Since they've noticed this situation, they'll definitely report it to the Second Prince. If the Second Prince hadn't tacitly approved it, this mission would probably have been withdrawn long ago."

The quick-witted Ibn immediately understood what Anran was thinking.

An Ran turned his gaze over and immediately said, "I'll investigate for you right away and see if the mission has been withdrawn."

Young man, you understand people's hearts!

⑧ Wrong!

You're worth nurturing! I have high hopes for your future!

“Go ahead and investigate. I don’t think you’d dare to do anything underhanded,” Anran secretly warned Iben.

Those who understand will understand.

Ibn knew it well.

So he didn't do anything underhanded, but used the time-space network to log into his task backend and take a look.

The mission to assassinate An Ran was still hanging there as usual.

"It's still there."

An Ran squinted her eyes slightly.

"Let's give them some time, and also give ourselves some time to think."

The representatives of the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were both at this time. They had said to Pavlo that they would seriously consider their cooperation proposal, so let them consider it.

An Ran planned to see what the Second Prince would do next.

If he withdraws the mission, it means he still wants to cooperate properly.

If we don't withdraw...

It seems they think they're in the way. Once they've conquered the Selene military industrial zone and established a foothold, they'll definitely make their move.

But it's okay, I wasn't completely unprepared.

At worst, we can just take an even more difficult path.

Considering that version 2.0 is coming soon, and as an important pawn for the Royal Knights, even if I suffer a huge setback here, I still have a chance to turn the tide.

If we're not forced into a corner, we should be even more determined to take the plunge.

An Ran didn't want to wait until she had nowhere else to go before unleashing her inner power.

At this point, she increasingly felt that working one job and receiving three salaries was a method worth considering carefully.

Having temporarily come to her senses, Anran looked at Ibn again: "You really want to see that gate, don't you? You really want to see the Silent Land, don't you?"

A smiling expression, a slightly seductive tone.

These items are a devastating weapon on Anran, who has only 11 points of charm without any equipment.

The kind that appeals to both men and women.

Ibn took a step back, swallowed, and said, "That's right."

"Do you think you have the ability to snatch the key from me? Or rather, do you have the ability to snatch the key from the Wang family?"

He asked two questions in a row.

Iben was silent for a moment before his teacher replied, "If it were before, I would have said I was very confident, but after actually fighting you, I realized that even an S-rank assassin in the Assassin's Ladder is no match for you. To complete this mission, I'm afraid only a legendary assassin can do it."

It's not that I'm arrogant, but among S-class assassins, I'm practically the ceiling. Actually, I have many more tricks up my sleeve that I haven't used yet, but even if I did…”

Ibn shook his head and said, "I simply cannot understand why I felt nothing when the dagger went in. Could it be that..."
