Protect the Target [1]

Max had been given an assassination quest, and he didn't know what to do.

Of course, it was completely logical, and it would probably follow the same path as the last two.

Yet... he couldn't help but feel like something was off.

'Why would I need to kill the leader of the shadow wolves?' He thought, 'And why now?'

He didn't know the answer, but he knew that he had to accept it, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to move forward, that supposed fate his divination was talking about had already been decided long ago, it's just that it hadn't told him about any of this.

'Yes,' he accepted the quest, and the screen started changing once he clicked on the option.

The assassin looked at the crowd and saw that nobody had noticed his somber expression, probably because they were too focused on Iris and her speech.

He looked back at the quest, and read the details.
