Jiang Ce and the man in black were both extremely fast. Within a few short minutes, Jiang Ce noticed the tall buildings of the city receding behind him as his surroundings plunged into pitch darkness. He had unknowingly followed the man in black all the way to the suburbs of Dragon Capital.
It was at that moment that Jiang Ce suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was already too late.
The man in black, who had been fleeing just ahead, abruptly turned and stopped. Immediately, figures dressed in the same black attire leaped out from the surrounding darkness, tightly encircling Jiang Ce.
Jiang Ce frowned. He hadn't expected them to send so many people after him. The two assassination attempts back at the snack street were merely a feint, designed to make him believe all their assassins had shown themselves and lure him into pursuit. Combined with his own haste to secure evidence, he had walked right into their trap.
