At the corner of the stairs
A middle-aged man in flashy, trendy clothes stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall. His presence wasn't low, but it didn't increase the difficulty of the assassination because in the current world of the Spirit Realm, people like him weren't uncommon.
On the contrary, dressing like an ordinary person and appearing in a place like this would make one look unusually conspicuous and easily seen as out of place at first glance.
The middle-aged man nonchalantly retrieved a dagger from his Storage Space and carefully checked its attributes, as well as the effect and timing of the poison coating.
'Preparations are complete, no problem.'
'If I could, I wouldn't want to oppose such a person. The Celestial Ladder Rankings' prodigy... truly terrifying, but the more of a prodigy they are, the less likely they would give up opportunities within their grasp, right?'
