Looking at Eva, who bowed her head and apologized, Joanna and Kyran's faces darkened, and they were about to rebuke her.
However, at this moment, there was a loud noise on the street outside.
This made Joanna and Kyran went on alert mode. They held their breath, leaned against the window, and looked out.
Through the gap in the window, they could see a group of people rushing out of the street, fully armed and controlling the pedestrians on the street.
Joanna had a puzzled expression on her face as she asked in a low voice, "Are these the members of the Alchemist Association and the city guards?"
"Eva, did you really fail to assassinate him?" Joanna asked again.
Eva said, "Mattham's father has specially prepared an armor of the fifth grade of the Earth Level on him. My fatal stab pierced his armor, but failed."
"Fifth grade of the Earth Level!" Kyran murmured.
Upon hearing this, he could not help but take a deep breath and look surprised.
"I wonder how much money he took from the civilians to be able to use such high-quality armor," Kyran said.
While they were talking, the noise on the street became more and more intense.
Seeing this, Joanna winked at Kyran and said, "Go and find out what happened."
"Yes, master!" Kyran cupped his hands and went downstairs.
Joanna pulled Eva to her side and looked at Fade with vigilance. Then, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Fade's throat with her right hand.
Fade's expression froze and his eyes darkened. He slid to dodge Joanna's attack.
Then, he looked at the woman in front of him coldly and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"
At this moment, Eva also came to her senses and hurriedly shouted, "Master, what are you doing? Fade is my savior!"
"Humph, savior? I don't think things are that simple." Joanna snorted heavily and stared at Fade warily. She pulled Eva behind her.
She continued, "Eva, you met an inexplicable foreign merchant coincidentally. Then, the next day, he happened to accompany you to participate in the examination of the Alchemist Association, and even entered the association with the first place. In the end, he happened to save you, who failed the assassination."
"There are so many coincidences. Is it really just an accident?" Joanna said.
After hearing her master's words, Eva couldn't help but be stunned.
However, she still insisted, "Master, I believe that Fade is not a bad person. Otherwise, there is no need for him to save me. In that case, I would have already been caught by Mattham. It is meaningless for him to do so." Joanna shook her head, glanced at her disciple, and said, "Eva, you are still too young."
"Some things are definitely not as simple as youthink," Joanna said.
She continued, "For example, if Fade was in cahoots with Mattham, and he deliberately appeared beside you and showed kindness to you. What if Mattham deliberately asked him to save you?"
Eva was puzzled and said, "It, it doesn't make sense!"
Joanna said in a deep voice, "Why doesn't it make sense? Hasn't he won your trust now? Moreover, he also drew Kyran and I out."
"If Mattham brings his people here at this time, we will be caught in one fell swoop and even get more information about our organization. Now, do you still think it's meaningless?" Joanna said.
After listening to her master's words, Eva was stunned. She looked at Fade with a complicated look in her eyes.
After all, the possibility that her master said was still very likely.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room couldn't help but become tense.
Joanna narrowed her eyes, stared at Fade with vigilance, and said sternly, "Tell me, who are you? What's your purpose?"
Seeing this, Fade sighed faintly and said lightly, "You're overthinking. I saved Eva for the sake of her kind reminder to me once."
"As for your own conjectures, that's because you've been thinking too much," Fade said.
