Chapter 266: Chapter 193: Silver Pot Knight Flun!_2
Earl Lawson didn’t know what had been discussed with Kafli, but he left the exhibition’s Great Gate with a spring in his step. Sunny Xiaoyu and two other players, along with a dozen bodyguards, followed closely behind him.
However, just as Earl Lawson was about to board the carriage, a newsboy shouting advertisements ran past him. Nearly everyone failed to notice that the newsboy had pulled out a flintlock gun from his bag.
Sunny Xiaoyu casually threw a Scout, but the next moment her face turned pale, and she shouted:
“Protect the Earl! That kid is an assassin!”
Hearing her warning, the bodyguards immediately rushed forward, tensely surrounding Earl Lawson to shield him from the attack coming from the shadows.
Several bodyguards also pounced toward the newsboy, trying to tackle him to the ground.
The newsboy, confused about where he had made a mistake that led to his exposure but having no time to think further or keep his cover, raised his flintlock and pulled the trigger towards Earl Lawson.
Bang!
The bullet was blocked by the body of a bodyguard; Earl Lawson wasn’t injured.
The newsboy’s eyes showed regret and unwillingness as he got punched twice, spat out blood, and was then subdued and pinned down by three or four burly bodyguards.
In the ensuing chaos, everyone sprang into action, even more vigilant as they encircled Earl Lawson. The Earl retreated continuously, his anxiety palpable.
“Go! Escort me home quickly!”
Startled, he bellowed loudly.
But at that moment, five more people leaped down from the rooftop above them.
These five, dressed as workers, appeared to have been setting up advertisement boards and banners for the jewel exhibition on the upper floors. Surprisingly, they too were assassins!
Bang! Bang bang…!
They fired their flintlock guns mid-air towards the people below, killing several bodyguards.
After tumbling to the ground, they discarded their firearms and each pulled out a black dagger, slaughtering their way through the bodyguards like wolves among sheep.
The killers only had one target, Earl Lawson, and the bodyguards in front of them were obstacles to be quickly eliminated.
“They’re five Transcendents from the Black Knife Brotherhood! All of them Sequence Nine Thieves!”
Sunny Xiaoyu, having thrown a Scout, said to the two players beside her.
“We need to move! These ordinary bodyguards can’t stop them!”
The players from the Chuxi Guild made their move.
Honey Fool tossed a scroll into the air, which burst into a strange red symbol. The guild members, including other bodyguards on the scene, immediately felt inspired, their fear receding and their desire to fight surging, fearlessly engaging the killers in combat.

Bang bang bang…!
The female players pulled out blunderbusses the president had bought for them and opened fire.
The killers cursed silently and swiftly evaded, suffering only minor injuries.
Honey Pomelo drew a short bow, nocked an arrow, and shot at one of the killers.
——Whoosh!
The killer’s expression changed as he pulled back the dagger he was about to stab into a bodyguard and dodged to the side. But the arrow was too fast and seemed to have anticipated his evasive move, piercing through his chest.
Blood splattered as the killer grunted and fell to the ground.
Bang!
Sunny Xiaoyu fired her blunderbuss to finish him off, killing him on the spot.
“Well done!”
Earl Lawson’s face was pale as seven or eight of his bodyguards were killed by the assassins in just a few breaths, and he himself was in grave danger.
Seeing the female bodyguards cooperate to finally kill one of the fearsome assassins filled him with hope, and he cheered loudly.
“Kill them all! I’ll quintuple your reward!”
Earl Lawson shouted to Sunny Xiaoyu and the others.
Although the bodyguards were influenced by the “Bloodthirsty Art” from Honey Fool’s Magic Scroll, and their combat desire was ignited, they were merely ordinary people and could not match the skill of the killers.
The four remaining killers quickly dispatched the remaining ordinary bodyguards.
“There are still two Transcendents, finish them off quickly! The Shelter will be here any moment!”
One of the killers said.
“No need to waste time, have two people hold them off while the rest of us kill Lawson, then we all leave together!”
Another killer responded.
After a brief exchange, they split up with clear tasks and efficiency.
Thus, two of the four killers charged at Honey Fool and Honey Pomelo, while the other two went for Earl Lawson.
“Quick! Stop them!”
Earl Lawson, his legs weak with terror, screamed loudly.
Honey Fool, merely a Scholar, was no good in close combat; if an assassin got close, she would likely be easily killed.
With a moment of composure, she threw another scroll and then closed her eyes.
Hum!
A bright light erupted from the scroll, and the killer rushing towards her was momentarily blinded, cursing and hastily retreating.
Meanwhile, Honey Pomelo, relying on her agility, dodged the killer by running circles around him, weaving back and forth near the carriages parked at the entrance of the exhibition.
But since the killer was a Thief, which also implied agility, Honey Pomelo didn’t have the advantage. Fortunately, she occasionally turned back to shoot an arrow, widening the gap between her and the killer and bringing them to a temporary stalemate.
However, the two Transcendent players couldn’t free their hands to help their employer, Earl Lawson.
“— Vice President! We’re being held back, it’s up to you now!”
“— I can only say I’ll try my best.”
Sunny Xiaoyu replied briefly, pulled out her blunderbuss, and took the lead in shooting at the two killers, trying to disrupt their movements.
