Chapter 958 Into the Cell
- Hearing that, Marcus Crawley stiffened. Was Long Yu planning to go in hard right away? If so, then Long Ren was in danger. Marcus hesitated. Should he jump down and save him? But just then, Long Yu suddenly barked, “There’s an assassin on the roof! Get up there and drag him down!”
- That threw Marcus for a loop. He’d thought no one would notice him on the roof. Didn’t expect to get spotted in a flash. Looks like Long Yu isn’t some random nobody, Marcus thought. When he vaulted onto the roof, he’d been suppressing his breath the whole time. Normally, masters sensed others by feeling their aura. But Marcus had hidden his aura on purpose—and Long Yu still found him.
- “Who goes there?” “Hurry, grab him!” A squad of imperial guards rushed in. Marcus knew sticking around up top was pointless now. Since he’d been made, he only had one choice—drop down. “Don’t panic, Your Majesty. I’m not an assassin,” Marcus said calmly as he slipped into the royal study.
