Herag's question was indeed just out of curiosity.
Robert was surprised and said, "Sir, how did you know it was me following that day?"
He remembered he was far away that day and had found cover to hide, so Herag couldn't possibly see his face.
"Don't worry about it." Herag naturally wouldn't answer his question.
Robert thought to himself, Mystics have many methods, so knowing it was him was quite normal.
He said, "Originally, according to industry rules, I shouldn't say anything. Even if tortured, we have to adhere to professional ethics. But since it's you, sir, asking, I will answer."
"The one who hired me to assassinate Josh was actually Count Hu En."
"Count Hu En?" Herag was somewhat surprised by this answer, but not entirely.
Robert laughed and said, "I also don't know what these nobles are thinking, hiring assassins to kill their own young child. But as an adventurer, as long as they pay me enough, I won't bother with the reasons."
