"What do you mean the assassination failed?" A furious voice echoed through the Goblin Guild's main office in the capital.
"I'm sorry, sir! We didn't expect the target to be that strong," a young woman stood in front of Jason with her head lowered in fear.
It was clear she didn't dare lift her head. Meanwhile, the furious man glared out the office window in frustration.
"What's the current status?" Jason asked.
"All of the attackers are dead except for one. As for their bodies... we weren't able to recover anything," the young woman replied.
Jason sighed and sat down in his chair. He hadn't expected a mission to kill a kid who had only Awakened two months ago to end in failure.
How was that even possible? According to official records, the kid was only D-rank. No matter how strong he was, he shouldn't have been able to wipe out the entire team they sent.
"Did you investigate whether someone was protecting him?"
