1 Royal Theatre of London - Part 1

"You sure this will work?" A man in a masked masquerade said through his earpiece as he walked down the aisle of seats in the Royal Theatre of London. 

"I guess he is new to the game." A lady's voice pierced through as a reply.

"You cannot blame him, this is his first time in contact with Muramasa." An older voice added into the mix as the gentleman in the masked masquerade pretended to check his seat number before sitting down.

"Why did Muramasa even choose him in the first place?" The lady asked and one could hear the older voice shrugged his shoulders.

"I have no idea, Viper. All we know is that it's a VIP target and he will give us the details soon enough." 

"You seemed too trusting of Muramasa after what I heard you went through, Moth," Viper whispered through the encrypted network. She was also masked wearing the most attractive red slick dress with a Viper Brooch at the top of her chest. She caught every single person's attention with just her body and people were dying to look at her face that was well covered by her mask. 

"And yet you are here in his mission as well even though you know that he is a control freak through and through. Last I heard, you nearly lost an arm for the crazy stunt you did for him." Moth chuckled through his reply, he was sitting at the opposite end of the theatre in comparison to Viper. 

"That means our dear new comrade was being put in such a situation too, is it not? Probably a test of some sort if memory served. Am I right, Needle?" Viper asked and Needle did not give out a reply. After all, unlike the other two, this was actually his first time working for Muramasa, the so called famous underground hacker that supposedly earned his fame through multiple hitman operations. 

There was once a tale where two crime families in Thailand had tried to bid for his tenure to kill each other's Family Head. He eventually managed to arrange for assassins to kill both of them and caused the two crime families to go for an all out slaughter but never went to the headlines because he erased all evidence of it before it got public. 

It was one of the many tales that enabled him to be on the top priority list of Interpol and many various police organisations in the world and yet they could never ever track him down. Rumours stated that Muramasa might not be a person but an entire group of organisation by itself. Yet no one ever knows. 

Thus, Needle had decided not to say anything. Not because he was arrogant enough to ignore talking to some old timer and a lady who pretended to know it all, but rather, he wanted to know how Muramasa was going to handle this operation. After all, even if Muramasa did not state the name of the VIP, the assassins had actually had an inkling who they were going to assassinate.
