Eva thought and said, "Even I don’t know much . But from my personal experience, I saw enough from Prince Lukav . He is someone who can take a lot of things to the extreme . But a lot of times it was to provoke Prince Felix However a lot of innocent bystanders were hurt and tortured because of his actions . Even I would advice you to be cautious of him . "

One of the Templer assassins spoke to other guys who were disguised as commoners after they saw John coming with Eva in the Market, "After such a long time, we got to make our move now that he is in open . We will target both that woman and that sinner . From our information, we know that he has quite a good relationship with that woman . She is also the great-granddaughter of that grand-potioneer . Make sure to target him before reaching Hope as there is a lot of security over there nowadays after that previous event . "

Joe gruntled as he walking to the police station after the institute, "Hmph, why won’t they believe me . "

***

John nodded and spoke to Eva, "Okay I will keep that in mind, Meanwhile how is work at the institute, I heard Glenn was your acquaintance, How do they feel after coming here . I still didn’t get an opportunity to meet them at the institute as I was busy these days because of all these events surrounding Duke Fjord and Prince Hector . "

Eva thought and spoke, "Well, Work at the institute is quite good . A lot of people are enthusiastic about learning at the institute . The problem guys are actually the teens and those brats who don’t like studying . I rather hope to teach grown men and women . That guy Joe and his men from the Police are quite a nuisance as they curse whenever it comes to work of the institute, I guess they are muscleheads . However, they still study seriously as they understand that all the officials need to be educated in this domain . Well, I knew Glenn from my capital days, I had even invited him as I knew that he wasn’t happy there but it is quite hard leaving Imperial university as a professor . I guess your printers did the trick . These printers are quite useful for us as well as it has reduced our book costs and that thing called pencil is quite useful as well . Glenn quite likes Joe as he keeps a Joyful mood at the institute . "

John nodded as he heard her, "I guess he understands the proverb, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy . This is also the reason why I have created a holiday one day every week so that people can rest in our domain . "

Suddenly a Short blade suddenly just grazed Eva’s hair near her eye as John pulled her back while the other Knife was stuck on the right side of his chest with the inner armor being penetrated .

Eva was quite shocked as she saw the scene that nearly claimed her life . She gazed behind at John who was bleeding profusely from his chest . Her chest was beating quite heavily as she saw John saving despite the danger of this assassination attempt .

John had a grave expression as he spoke sternly to her, "Eva, stay behind me until our men arrive . These men are dangerous . "

Eva had a worried expression as she tried to stop the blood, "John you are bleeding heavily, You should leave immediately . These men are the Templer Assassins from the church . We can’t match them in combat . "

John took out a knife as he threw one of the knives at the assassin who attacked him . The knife was clad in fire and wind magic as it was launched at a very high speed .

He roared as he threw the knife, "Just do as I say, Our lives are at stake here . Do you expect me to abandon you and run? What face would I be able to show to Grandma Melanie if she were to hear about your death under my watch?"

The man’s throat was immediately pierced by John’s knife as people couldn’t even react as to what had occurred .

There was a big commotion in the market as people were scrambling for their lives .

The head of the Templer assassins spoke gravely as he saw one of his men falling, "Be careful men, it seems he is more dangerous than that Jake guy, Surround him and target that woman . "

While John took out a short Blade so that he could protect both himself and Eva . There were 3 men still there excluding the head . All three targeted Eva immediately on the orders of their head .

John was quite angered as he heard the head . He deflected all the 3 knives as he dueled with the head who was wielding a scimitar . He threw another knife at one of the men, however, this time all the men were quite cautious unlike the previous time as this time the knife only grazed past one of the men . Little did he know that the knife was filled with poison .

Looking for an opportunity, Eva too threw a Fireball at the men ahead of her .

The other men spoke as he heard the rumblings of the policemen coming at the scene, "Boss, those policemen are coming, what do we do? Abandon or try to complete this mission?"

The head spoke, "We will complete this mission even it means our death . This sinner has to die . He has a Handicap right now while being injured at the same time, We won’t get the same opportunity in future, All three of us would attack him simultaneously without caring about our deaths . "

John tried to move his hand to throw another knife but he couldn’t as the injury on his chest acted up . The man who was grazed fell on the ground while John dueled with the head while at the same time parrying the attacks of the other assassin .

John roared to Eva as he saw a chance, "Take this chance to make some distance, go towards the policemen at Jay’s direction, this will create some space for both of us . "

The head signaled the other assassin, "A do or die attack . "

John meanwhile saw Jake who was coming behind these assassins .

Jake threw his knife on the ankles of the other assassin as John saw him as he calmly parried the head without any worries this time around .

The head moved his gaze towards Jake as he said, "Weren’t you one day away from this city? How did you guys reach here so early?"

Jake scratched his head in confusion as he spoke, "I guess we caught a ride from one of the carriages . The trader knew me as he had seen me earlier . Does this answer your question? Was it that difficult to comprehend?"

John didn’t waste was any time as he moved forward and disarmed the man .

The Templer Assassin asked in horror and confusion, "Weren’t you guys traveling cautiously all these days . Why did you suddenly change your approach . "

Dearil came from behind as smiled and spoke, "I guess he is quite eccentric some times . So you can understand that we decided to take a carriage . "
