The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Even if he only needed to let go of the obsession in his heart, he would be able to find eternal sleep.

But he never gave up.

Kate knew that he was now the spiritual pillar of his adopted daughter Awu, and he couldn't fall down like this until she found the next pillar.

Having saved her that night eighteen years ago, Carter had no intention of giving up halfway.

After all, he is a very stubborn person.

"Can not be done..."

Kate struggled to get up from the bed, apparently intending to get some water.

And just as Kate picked up the cup of water, a black shadow fell from the corner of the wall above Kate, and the dagger in his hand went straight to Carter's head. There was a hint of dark purple on the matte dagger.

But just before the dagger was about to touch Carter, Kate disappeared.

The shadow was stunned for a moment.

This is the fatal moment.

The shadow fell onto the old floor.

The rotten floorboards made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

Kate reappeared at the head of the bed.

He looked at the dead assassin on the ground, feeling no surprise but relief.

They still found it.

Kate staggered and collapsed to the ground. He leaned over to the edge of the bed and barely managed to avoid lying on the ground.

Just that one blow had consumed a lot of his remaining vitality.

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

Kate started coughing violently, and anyone who saw her would definitely worry that she was going to cough out her lungs.

His vision went blurry.

I wanted to get up and get the medicine, but found that I couldn't even do that.

It looks like my life is coming to an end here.

Kate didn't feel any fear, he just felt a little regretful.

He was unable to see his adopted daughter at the last moment of his life.

That child will be sad for a long time, right?

It's a pity that I couldn't comfort her.

Kate's consciousness became increasingly blurred as she coughed.

He just hoped that his situation would not affect Awu in the end.

And just a second before Kate completely lost consciousness, he seemed to see the door of the room opened.

A golden figure walked in.

"Is it too late?"

The other party seemed very anxious.

Kate then lost consciousness.

He thought he would die just like that.

But unexpectedly, he opened his eyes again a day later.

Chapter 258: Embarking on Another Path

When Kate opened her eyes again, she saw her adopted daughter Awu lying on the head of the bed.

"Kate, are you awake?!"

Awu was awakened the moment Kate woke up.

She was so excited to see Kate wake up that she almost cried.

Awu wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes and gave Kate a bright smile.

"Where is this?"

When Kate woke up, she immediately realized that this was definitely not the Pinewood Inn.

"This is the Breath of the Dragon."

Awu's answer surprised Kate.

"what on earth is it?!"

"actually...."

Awu told Kate what had happened to him before.

“…That’s it. In the end, I was saved by Lisha and the others. Kate, you were also saved by Lisha.”

"..."

Kate placed her furry little hand over her heart.

He felt his heartbeat was much stronger than before, and he knew that he must have taken a high-level healing potion and was treated by a very powerful priest.

Otherwise, with his previous physical condition, it would be impossible for him to survive.

"Awu, you met a really good person..."

Only someone like Kate who has experienced so much can understand how rare the existence of Team Lisha is.

"I know, so I will try my best to repay you in the future."

Awu nodded vigorously.

She knew that Lisha and the others had done a lot for her.

So she will try her best to repay everyone.

"Awu, is your adoptive father awake?"

Suddenly, Ilsa's questioning voice came from outside the door.

"woke up!"

Awu said as he opened the door for Ilsa.

After opening the door, Awu discovered that standing outside was not only Ilsa, but also Lisha and Olivia, the owner of Dragon's Breath.

"Please come in."

Awu moved aside and let the three of them enter the room.

"I want to talk to your adoptive father. Please go out and wait."

Olivia patted Wu's shoulder.

"Kate?"

Awu nodded. She looked back at her adoptive father Kate and found that Kate was also motioning for her to go out. Then she walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Kate, I think you should know what I want to discuss?"

Olivia crossed her arms and looked down at the little cat person Kate lying on the bed.

"Ms. Olivia, thank you for saving me."

Kate didn't take up the topic, but thanked Olivia first.

"You don't need to thank me. It was Lisha who saved you, and it was Merilu who treated you. It has nothing to do with me."

Olivia's expression remained unchanged.

“But you let me stay here.”

Kate thought that if Olivia really wanted to find out, she would have no way of hiding her affairs, but she still allowed herself to stay in Dragon's Breath, which meant that the owner of Dragon's Breath intended to protect her.

"Heh~ If it weren't for the pity for Awu and the little one's plea, do you think you could stay here?"

Olivia certainly knew what Kate's previous identity was, so she didn't treat him well.

"Thank you for saving my life."

Kate sat up with difficulty.

He is still very weak, but just a little better than before.

"You have some serious old injuries."

Ilsa stared at Kate and spoke.

"If you didn't have that old injury, you would be a silver-level professional."

"If you want freedom, you have to pay a price. My price is already very light. At least I am still alive today, not like my colleagues who died a long time ago without leaving any trace."

Kate said with a relaxed look.

He had nothing to hide about himself, at least not from the three people in front of him.

"Kate, assassin codename Kumquat, was once the most talented silver-rank assassin in the Assassin's Guild. If it weren't for the limitations of your own race, you would have a great chance of becoming a gold-rank assassin. Your mission completion rate was as high as 90%, but you failed and died in your last mission."

Olivia tells Kate's story.

But Kate's expression didn't change at all.

He would not be shaken by these things.

"Your last mission was a large mission for the Assassin's Guild eighteen years ago."

"At that time, the Assassin's Guild was hired by a vice president of the Ruby Merchant Guild. Because he failed in the competition for the president, he wanted to make a desperate move to kill another candidate for the president who was about to succeed. The Assassin's Guild sent a Ruby-rank, two Gold-rank, and four Silver-rank to assassinate the candidate for the president and his family."

"You four Silver Ranks are targeting the two daughters of the Guild President candidate. But in the end, it seems that this mission is only half completed."

Olivia said this, staring straight at Kate.

"No, it's not actually finished."

Kate continued what Olivia was saying under her gaze.

"We were a team of two at the time. I and another person were responsible for assassinating the younger sister of the pair. But when I saw the child, I couldn't do it."

Kate had a bitter smile on her face.

"I was an assassin with blood on my hands, but I couldn't bring myself to kill the weak baby right in front of me. Even when my teammate was about to kill me, I stabbed him in the back."

"It was also from that day that I realized that I was not a cold-blooded monster. I also have human feelings."

"Then why did you take her away?"

Lisha asked Kate in confusion.

From any perspective, it is difficult to understand why Kate took the girl away, who was still a baby at the time.

"I didn't take her."

Kate shook her head.

"How can I take her away?"

"I actually ran away from the scene because I was scared. I was scared of the child."

There was a slight tremor in Kate's voice; he was not as calm as he looked.

"But maybe it was fate. I got to see her again in the end."

"In that heavy fog, I waited for my teammates at the location marked by the code. What I finally waited for was a seriously injured person holding a baby. He was also the strongest among the four of us."

"I don't know why he took the child out, but by the time I realized what was happening, I had already killed him and taken the child away."

"I had planned to return it secretly, but I didn't expect to hear the news of the death of the candidate for president the next day. Although the Assassin's Guild lost a Gem-rank, a Gold-rank, and three Silver-rank, they still succeeded in killing the candidate for president and his wife. All the servants and guards died, and only a baby girl survived at the scene."

"Under such circumstances, I can't send the child back because if I send her back, she will most likely die inexplicably within a year."

"So I could only live with her in hiding. Fortunately, the situation was chaotic enough at the time. The Assassin's Guild thought I was dead, and the Ruby Merchant Guild thought the same. That's why I was able to live quietly with that child in a small town in the countryside for twelve years."
