Jiang Yi guessed that the masked man was likely sent by Prince Matthew to test him, wanting to know if he harbored murderous intent towards him or could be bought off by the Eagle Kingdom's royal family.
If Jiang Yi hadn't known Minasha, he would have fallen for the trap this time!
Prince Matthew was very clever, but he miscalculated!
Jiang Yi did not expose him on the spot, but pretended not to know.
Since Prince Matthew wanted to test him, he would play along with the masked man.
"You need to think clearly. If you don't cooperate properly, your end will be miserable. I've already told you!"
The masked man stared at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi decided to play along and said, "How can I believe you? If I help you kill Prince Matthew, and you turn your back on me, won't I be digging my own grave?"
"I know your Eagle Kingdom's royal family. You will surely blame me for killing Prince Matthew, and I will definitely die!"
"You can rest assured about that. I can swear on the credit of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family that this will absolutely not happen!"
The masked man said.
"Your Eagle Kingdom's royal family has a history of breaking their word. This is common knowledge. You have no credibility at all. If I believed you, I wouldn't even know how I died!"
Jiang Yi said.
"Then what will it take for you to believe our Eagle Kingdom's royal family?"
The masked man asked.
"No matter what you do, I won't believe you!"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
These words made killing intent flash in the masked man's eyes. He said coldly, "You've been talking nonsense for so long. It's useless to stall for time. If you don't cooperate with us to kill Prince Matthew, you'll have only one way out, and no one can save you!"
"I don't need anyone to save me!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "You can't kill me!"
"It seems I have no choice but to kill you! Didn't you say I couldn't kill you? Let me show you the might of our Eagle Kingdom's royal family now!"
After saying that, the masked man shouted loudly to the crossbowmen outside the woods, "Kill those two men!"
"Yes!"
The crossbowmen responded, then acted. Countless arrows flew towards Ning Yan and Cui Xi.
Under normal circumstances, they would have been dead by now, their bodies turned into hedgehogs.
Ning Yan and Cui Xi were prepared. They quickly hid behind the car, finding cover.
The crossbowmen did not intend to let them go and immediately moved closer to the car.
Seeing that the opportunity had arrived, Ning Yan and Cui Xi made their move.
These crossbowmen got too close, rendering their crossbows ineffective. Moreover, Ning Yan and Cui Xi were both experts. In less than a minute, all the crossbowmen were dealt with!
The masked man was flustered upon seeing this.
"I didn't expect you to have two experts by your side. I underestimated you!"
"I'll spare you today. Go back and think carefully. I will come for you again. If you still refuse to cooperate when I come for you next time, I will have no choice but to kill you!"
The masked man then turned to leave.
"You think you can just leave?"
Jiang Yi said sternly.
"What? Do you intend to attack me?"
The masked man stopped, looking dismissively at Jiang Yi and saying, "I am from the Eagle Kingdom's royal family. If you lay a finger on me, you will die horribly! Do you have the guts to go against the Eagle Kingdom's royal family?"
The masked man directly threatened Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was not swayed by this.
Besides, if it was an act, it had to be a complete one.
"So what if you are from the Eagle Kingdom's royal family? I will still deal with you!"
Jiang Yi said.
"Then let me see if you have the ability. I doubt those two women can defeat you, but dealing with you is more than enough. If you're capable, tell them not to interfere, and let us have a one-on-one duel!"
The masked man said solemnly.
In the masked man's opinion, Jiang Yi was just a doctor and had no fighting skills.
With his own abilities, he was more than enough to teach Jiang Yi a harsh lesson.
"Alright, we'll duel!"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
The masked man pulled a sharp dagger from his waist, waved it, and then charged at Jiang Yi with a swift movement. The sharp dagger aimed straight for Jiang Yi's chest.
The masked man did not intend to kill him. While it looked like he was stabbing Jiang Yi's chest, his actual target was Jiang Yi's arm.
Jiang Yi took a step back, easily dodging the masked man's attack.
At the same time, Jiang Yi's fist shot towards the masked man.
Jiang Yi's movements were incredibly tricky. Although the masked man was skilled, he couldn't dodge them. He took a heavy punch to the face.
This punch dazed the masked man. Before he could recover, Jiang Yi's fist came at him again.
The masked man couldn't block Jiang Yi's attacks or evade them. He took several consecutive punches from Jiang Yi, his entire face swelling up, looking like a pig's head.
The masked man was completely at Jiang Yi's mercy, only able to take a beating.
Jiang Yi didn't want to mess around with the masked man any longer. He kicked him, sending him sprawling to the ground.
The masked man broke three ribs and lay on the ground for a long time before he could recover.
The masked man stared at Jiang Yi with eyes full of killing intent and anger.
"I'll give you a chance to live. Tell me which member of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family sent you. Tell the truth, and I'll spare your life. If you don't, I'll have to kill you!"
Jiang Yi said to the masked man.
In reality, Jiang Yi had already guessed that the masked man was sent by Prince Matthew. He was deliberately pretending not to know.
Only in this way could killing the masked man be considered justified.
Even if he killed him, Prince Matthew would have no grounds to object.
The masked man became somewhat fearful, worried that Jiang Yi would really kill him.
"Ring ring..."
Jiang Yi's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Prince Matthew calling.
"Jiang Yi, where are you? Hurry and come treat me!"
Prince Matthew's anxious voice came from the phone.
"I'll be there immediately!"
Jiang Yi said.
"Then hurry. I don't like waiting!"
Prince Matthew hung up the phone directly.
Jiang Yi put away his phone and noticed that the masked man had already run towards a car in the woods.
"We can't let him escape!"
Cui Xi ran over, ready to pursue him.
"Let him go!"
Jiang Yi said. "He won't escape. Later, we just need to tell Prince Matthew to have people keep an eye on all the stations, airports, and toll stations in Simon State. He won't be able to fly away."
Hearing this, Cui Xi stopped chasing.
"By the way, what did you talk about with that masked man for so long?"
Cui Xi asked.
