Time flies!
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Prince Sam, who had been anxiously waiting for some movement, became impatient and sent his men to the small inn again, urging Ye Cangtian and the others to act.
In the small inn.
Sam's subordinates had already left. Ye Cangtian looked at Huang Wu and Huang San and said in a deep voice, "You two have gotten a rough idea of the situation in the royal city these past two days. We'll make our move tonight. We must succeed and not fail!"
These past two days, the three of them had been secretly investigating the individuals on the list, thoroughly understanding their routines, routes, and security arrangements.
The division of labor remained the same: Huang Wu and Huang San were responsible for assassinating the eight ministers who were supporters of Xibeya's faction, and could be considered loyal subjects of the old king.
As for Ye Cangtian, he was responsible for assassinating the other four people on the list, who were the confidantes of the other two princes.
Although all these individuals were high-ranking members of the royal family, they naturally had many bodyguards or guards around them, making it difficult for ordinary assassins to succeed, let alone eliminate all twelve people on the list in one night.
However, the three of them were no ordinary individuals. After all, being a Yellow-ranked member of the Dark Association meant their strength was already beyond the reach of many top assassins.
Huang Wu, having been involved in the underworld, had killed many people, so he felt no pressure undertaking assassination missions.
On the other hand, Huang San hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Supervisor, if there are ordinary people near the target, should we... should we kill them?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Wu sneered and cursed, "I say, boy, why are you still being soft-hearted? If there are ordinary people blocking the way, just kill them!"
Ye Cangtian shook his head and said, "There's no need to kill ordinary people. Just remember one thing: our targets are the people on the list. We must not waste our energy on unimportant individuals, lest we delay our progress!"
Each person was responsible for assassinating four targets, and each target was located in a different area, so time was of the essence.
Otherwise, once the news spread and others became vigilant, the difficulty would increase even further!
Huang Wu remained silent; he understood this logic.
Ye Cangtian wasted no more words, glanced at the time on his watch, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, we'll set off now. We'll make our move precisely at two in the morning!"
"Yes!" the two responded in unison.
Soon, the three appeared on the rooftop platform of the small inn, parting in three different directions, and then disappeared into the darkness.
...
This night was destined to be not peaceful.
In the direction of the Saudi royal palace, Xibeya looked out the window and sighed softly.
After tonight, the royal city would be in turmoil, and there would undoubtedly be bloodshed. This was not what she wanted to see, but it was the only way to resolve the royal family's issues once and for all.
On the other side!
In a luxurious private estate, Sam held a glass of expensive wine, looking into the distance and asking, "Have they made their move?"
"Your Highness, they have already acted!"
"Heh heh, that's good. After so many royal ministers die tonight, let's see how Xibeya faces the entire royal family then."
Prince Sam was in a good mood, he downed the wine in his glass and wore a satisfied expression.
At this moment, a subordinate hurried over to him from behind.
"What is it?" Sam did not turn around.
"Your Highness, I've received some news! Prince Sachi has gone missing!" the subordinate said urgently.
"What?" Prince Sam stood up.
Prince Sachi, as the sole heir to His Majesty the King, was the one who would inherit the throne. Sam had been contemplating whether to orchestrate an assassination to eliminate him, thereby securing the throne for himself.
He never expected that Prince Sachi would disappear under these circumstances!
The subordinate explained, "Actually, Prince Sachi has been missing for nearly a month. Xibeya's guards have been searching for him. Only in the last two days have they had to expand their search efforts, and the news leaked."
Upon hearing this, Prince Sam burst into laughter.
This was simply divine intervention!
...
At two in the morning, it was the time when ordinary people were asleep, and when many security defenses were at their weakest!
Huang Wu quietly slipped into a hotel and, without much effort, pried open the door to a presidential suite. He entered a luxurious bedroom.
In the bedroom, a middle-aged man lay on the large bed, holding a young and beautiful female model.
Through the dim light, Huang Wu recognized this person as one of the ministers on the list. He immediately brought a dagger to the man's neck and slashed it.
The sound was not loud enough for the young female model beside him to notice.
Huang Wu swallowed, cursing inwardly. If the mission wasn't urgent, he would have enjoyed himself before leaving!
With the target eliminated, he didn't hesitate and turned to leave the presidential suite, leaving behind only a body bleeding profusely.
...
At the same time, in a luxurious private villa.
A light and agile figure quietly scaled the villa's wall, like a nimble monkey, easily avoiding the bodyguards in the yard.
He then stealthily infiltrated the villa.
A moment later, a slight noise was heard from the villa's upper floor. The sound was so faint that the guards below did not notice anything.
Soon, the figure slipped out of the villa as if by stealth and scaled the wall.
Huang San let out a light breath, muttering to himself in disbelief, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth. But, don't blame me for being ruthless; I had no choice!"
After mumbling a few words of remorse, Huang San's figure disappeared, and he hurried towards the residence of another target.
The entire royal city was quiet, unbeknownst to them, at the same moment, several important ministers of the Saudi royal family were being assassinated in multiple locations.
...
The sky was about to brighten!
Sam sat on the luxurious sofa in the villa's hall, tiredly looking back and asking, "Still no news?"
Soon, a subordinate rushed in.
"Your Highness, something major has happened. Officials have been assassinated in multiple locations in the royal city. The royal family is in an uproar, and they are currently dispatching people to pursue the killers!"
"Haha, they actually succeeded?" Prince Sam's weariness vanished, and he became visibly excited.
Indeed!
Overnight, a total of twelve royal ministers were killed. This not only shocked the entire royal family but also shook the entire royal city.
Xibeya was now sending people to investigate the crime scenes and had issued a Level One alert to apprehend the killers!
"It's truly like divine assistance; everything went too smoothly! Quickly, inform a few ministers and ask them to come see me at once!"
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Prince Sam was completely exhilarated.
The individuals on the list had all been assassinated. The heavy stone in his heart had finally been lifted. Now, who in the entire royal family could contend with him?
His dream of kingship was finally about to be realized!
