Chapter 10 — The Lord gave my whole family the crime of Tru Di, I smiled and turned around to besiege the city

But still continue to stay here. Because this place always reminds us. Reminds us how we have come to this day step by step. Reminds us never to trust men. Emotions should never be trusted. Thanh Dai helped me take down the heavy phoenix coffin. Quietly asked:

“My lady, you seem very happy today.”

"That's right."

I look at my face in the bronze mirror. Even though she was a little tired, she still couldn't hide her brilliance.

“It's been a long time since I've been as happy as I am today.”

Defeat Northern Dich. Subdue Hach Lien Tranh. Sit firmly. I did it. Rely on your own strength. I helped the Nguyet family. Also help yourself. Regain everything that was lost.

"Niang..." Thanh Dai hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Master Soc Anh, he…”

My heart moved slightly.

“What is he doing?”

“Master Soc Anh... seems to be injured.”

Thanh Dai replied in a low voice.

"I heard someone from Brahma Cac say that when he went to Bac Dich to persuade the tribal leader to fight back, he fell into an ambush and almost couldn't return."

My heart suddenly sank.

“Why didn't he tell me?”

“Master Soc Anh is not allowed to speak.”

Thanh Dai replied.

“He said he couldn't let people distract him during the heat of battle.”

I closed my eyes. Take a deep breath. The shadow has followed me since I was ten years old. It's a gift my master gave me. It's my sharpest sword. Also the person I trust the most. Over the years. He was born and died for me. Eliminate selfishness for me. Help me build the Brahma Pavilion, this giant underground kingdom. I've always thought that. What he gives me is only loyalty. But for now. I'm not sure anymore.

“Where is he?”

“Probably recuperating in your Dark Hall.”

I stood up. Put on a cloak.

“Prepare the car.”

“Go to Brahma Pavilion.”

The headquarters of the Brahma Pavilion is located on the most prosperous street in the capital, disguised as an unremarkable tea house. No one could have imagined that underneath that bustling place where people pass by every day, there is hidden an assassin organization strong enough to make the whole world tremble in fear. I stepped down from the carriage, without alarming anyone, and alone followed the secret passage into the underground Dark Hall. The Dark Hall was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Soc Anh was lying on the bed with his upper body bare, an old man standing next to him was treating the wound on his back. On his back there was a knife wound deep to the bone, extending from his left shoulder to his right waist, the skin turned outward, looking extremely horrifying. The old man's action of applying the medicine was very strong. But Soc Anh from beginning to end never made a sound, not even his eyebrows furrowed once. Heard footsteps. He immediately turned around cautiously. When he saw it was me, he paused for a moment and then immediately tried to resist the person who wanted to stand up and bow.

“Subordinates…”

“Don't move.”

We walked quickly. Push his shoulder back. My fingertips accidentally touched the wound. His body suddenly stiffened. Only then did I discover that his forehead had been covered with tiny drops of cold sweat.

“Does it hurt?”

He shook his head. Voice a bit hoarse.

“It doesn't hurt.”

I look at him. I can't say clearly what I'm feeling in my heart.

"In Why don't you tell me?”

Soc Anh was silent. The old man next to him saw this and promptly packed up the medicine box and bowed and retreated. In the Dark Path. There's only two of us left. It was a long time before he opened his mouth.

"It's just a small wound, not worth worrying about."

“Small wound?”

I pointed to the fierce wound on his back.

“Is this what you call a small wound?”

“Soc Anh, do you think your life is not your life?”

Soc Anh lowered his eyes.

“The lives of subordinates belong to the Masters.”

I'm a little angry.

“Your life is your own!”

“I don't want you to die because of me.”

“I want you to live for me.”

“Live well.”

“Do you understand?”

Soc Anh suddenly raised his head. There was an emotion in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

“Masters...”

I interrupted him.

“Don't hide anything from me anymore.”
