Inside a dimly lit chamber, surrounded by hard brickes all around, sat a figure on a wooden chair. His arms were tied behind his back, cuffed with strong chains. His waist was strapped to the chair he was sitting on, legs binded together with the chains.

The figure was that of a man, his face was covered with a black cloth. His body slumped about on the chair. His breathing was normal and calm, he was only unconscious.

The chamber was illuminated by candles placed on the holders on the wall. Shadows cast on the edges while no sound could be heard inside the room.

Suddenly the candles flickered, like wind blowing but that wasn't the case since the room was isolated from the world. A foot came out of the shadows before a leg,followed by the whole body appeared in the light.

The figure was wearing a White-cloak ,[Assassin Creed] outfit. The cloak had a hood on the back which covered Kite's face. A sword hanging around his waist. Kite held an apathetic look on his face, like nothing could influence his mind.

His face was hidden by the hood he was wearing but the [Reader] streak glowed in the darkness like neon. His eyes were cold, face indifferent ,he glanced at the person trapped in the chamber.

The nobles of [Longsong Stronghold], had sent a messenger to express their intention to provide protection in exchange of the gold coming out of the Mines in the border town.

Roland refused their offer and cut of any kind of connection with that place, enraged by what this 'Worthless' trash did, the most influential noble decided to sent some people to burn the food stock of the people in the border town and also to destroy the wall who's construction was nearly complete.

He glanced back, his eyes seemed to pierce through the shadows and locate his target.

Soon after he removed his gaze from the shadows, another figure emerged behind him. She was wearing black-colored maid uniform. Her hair was slightly messy, indicating that she was a bit tired.

Kattara was tired after taking care of 25 intruders ,she had used much mana to collect all the useful information she could get for her master.

Kite turned around and lightly patted her head before saying "After this work is done you should sleep, I will ask the others to not to wake you up early." His voice didn't contain much emotion, even though Kattara was only half-a head shorter than Kite, he still had unknowingly made a habit to pat her head.

'Strange habit????...Must be due to the memories and muscle memories that the original had devolped.' thought Kite as he once again focused his attention to the guy sitting in front of him.

'Cynthia didn't pull back any punches huh.....' blood flowed down from the long cut ,freshly made by Cynthia from his face.

"Wake him up....." He stared at the man in front of him. Squared structured face, black hair long enough to reach his neck, his face wasn't anything much, especially after the wound that Cynthia gave him.

Kattara, standing beside him extended her hand and channeled her Mana. Her eyes gained a white color instead of the usual black ball.

She sent a [Mental shock], strong enough to wake him up. The previous unconscious man, opened his eyes, his thoughts were a little hazy after suffering the attack but soon regained his clarity.

He focused on the people in front of him and tried to remember what happened. His eyes widened as a torment of memories ȧssaulted his mind.

Fear clouded his thinking ,struggle began to break free from his restrains and escape. Last time before he lost conscious, he along with some other were tasked to burn the food stock of the border town.

But while doing so, they were suddenly intercepted with a demon, witch. She could control the shadows and even [God's retaliation stone] could suppress her powers. Their squad were wiped out by her whereas he was knocked unconscious.

"Struggling is useless.....You can't escape from this place nor will somebody come here to save you. Tell me who was the one who ordered you to burn all the food." Kite asked with no expression on his face, no emotion in his voice.

"I wil tell you....Please don't kill me. It was the the Nobles of [Longsong stronghold]. The top influential house head wanted to cripple you after they heard your speech about fighting of the demons." He quickly spilled the beans after all mercenaries were never loyal to anyone.

Kite ,after making sure that what he said inclined with what Kattara had found. He nodded and spoke in a calm tone "Thanks for the information."

Saying so he pulled his sword and stabbed his heart. Kattara had an uncomfortable expression on her face.

The man's eyes opened in horror as he managed to squeeze out some words before his conscious faded away.

"W.. Why Yo..You Pro...Promised to let me go....???" Blood sprayed out from his ċhėst ,dyeing him along with the floor with red color.

Kite still had his apathetic expression on his face as he pulled out the sword and said in a calm tone "I never said anything about sparing you....."

His lifeless body limply laid on the chair, the light inside his eyes slowly diminished, his body had already gone cold due to excessive lose of blood.

Kite turned towards Kattara, looking at her uncomfortable face. He said in a neutral tone.

"Steel your heart Kattara, don't hesitated to kill people like him. If he were to successfully burn all the food stocks, not only the hardwork we did would have gone to waste but also many would have died due to shortage of food."

"Just for a meager amount of money, he was willing to kill some many people. He deserved to die." Saying so he turned towards the shadows and disappeared.

Kattara stood silently, gazing at the lifeless body lying in front of her and thinking about what her master had said to her.

After some time she too turned and allowed the shadows to swallow her. The room regained it's previous tranquility. The candles once more flickered ,the lifeless body which was lying on the chair ,in the pool of its own blood suddenly disappeared.

About 5m away it reappeared, not a hint of blood on it could be seen, the eyes were pure white whereas the blood was abnormally cold.

"Hmm...At this rate it will take some time to digest the potion. Well he did say that soon I will get a golden chance, let's just wait." A figure made of darkness appeared in front of the corpse. His crystal yellow eyes glowed in the darkness.
