On the rooftop, the assassin let out a scream and tumbled straight to the ground headfirst from above.
Andrew slowly walked over, looking at the assassin on the ground who was groaning and could not get up. Then, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly remembered a popular joke he had heard recently.
With a smirk, he said, "Get up. No sleeping here."
The assassin, struck in the backside, glared at him with pure fury.
Andrew crouched down and first sealed his pressure points to prevent any sneak attacks. He had to be cautious since Eastonia's assassins were notorious for their cunning tricks and ability to kill without a trace.
Only by preventing his opponent from circulating his inner energy could he truly feel at ease.
After that, Andrew grabbed the assassin's mask and ripped it off. When he looked, he could not help but freeze in surprise.
"You're actually a woman?"
The female assassin on the ground gave a cold laugh and said through gritted teeth, "So what if I'm a woman? If you've got the guts, wait until I recover from my injuries and we'll have a proper fight!"
She spoke with a distinctive Etharic accent.
Andrew grew impatient and said, "You really are a warrior from Eastonia. Let me tell you upfront, I don't have a particularly good impression of Eastonians! So whatever I ask, you'd better answer honestly. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll ever make it back to your homeland again!"
Seeing the coldness in Andrew's eyes, the female assassin's delicate body shuddered. She could tell that Andrew was not someone who showed mercy. This was obvious from how Andrew had just killed all the others.
Before Andrew could even press her for answers, the female assassin volunteered, "My name is Trinity Aguilar. Currently, I'm a high-ranking assassin, affiliated with Eastonia's Aguilar family."
Andrew nodded and said flatly, "The Aguilar family is one of Eastonia's eight great martial arts houses. However, you use twin blades. That means while you were born into the Aguilar family, your martial arts lineage comes from someone else. If I'm not mistaken, it's Eastonia's twin blade master, Cassius Dillard, right?"
Trinity was delighted and immediately stood up to guide him.
Andrew watched her back, his expression hesitating briefly. In the end, he still could not bring himself to kill her immediately. After all, she was from Eastonia's assassin world and had nothing to do with his feud with the Knowles family.
Killing the innocent was not his style!
Of course, some might say he only spared her because she had a good figure and an attractive face, so he could not bear to strike her down.
However, Andrew swore that really was not the case.
If you would not believe him, may he be pierced by poisons through the heart!
