Back at the Inn where Nora used to work before, the branch head of the Three Fanged Shadow Hall was sitting on a chair in his room, holding a book in his hand though his eyes seemed to be unfocused.
A face of a young girl who he brought from the streets flashed through his mind from time to time.
Shaking his head ruefully, Moonwalker continued reading.
Tomorrow, he would go out to kill Danny glover, his target, and then go back to the Castle of Count Nathan to collect the rest of the payment.
He was about to extinguish the candles on his desk when the hoot of an owl sounded from the direction of the window, bringing him out of his reverie.
Moonwalker closed the notebook with a sigh and rose from his chair to pick up the note tied to the owl's leg that had just landed on the window sill.
"Count Nathan is... dead!" A frown appeared on the assassin's face, and he turned the note and read what was written on its back.
