Finally, faced with a truth or death situation, the Blood Wolf Team spilled the beans pretty quickly, with no details to spare.

"All right, all right! It was Raymond!" the man blurted out. "Raymond from the Flaming Sun Valley hired us to kill you!" There was a brief moment of silence as Austin took in the news.

"Hang on, WHAT? Raymond? From the Flaming Sun Valley?"

Austin was utterly confused. Of course he had heard about the Flaming Sun Valley. It was touted to be the second strongest among all the five sects in Violet Orchid Empire. In fact, people said it was even more powerful than Sun Sect!

That was exactly why he was confused, though! As someone who was merely an outer disciple of the Sun Sect, why would someone from a more powerful sect want him dead? Yet here they were, even willing to pay others to kill him? As far as he could remember, Austin hadn't had any associations with the Flaming Sun Valley ever in the past.

'Hang on a second!' something suddenly struck Austin. The name Raymond sounded a little familiar to him.

He began to search the depths of his mind, and sure enough, it wasn't long before the revolting face of an arrogant man came to him.

"Ah! It was this guy! The bastard!"
