Ning arrived inside a house with bright rooms despite the time of the night. Everyone should have been sleeping at this point, but 3 men sat by the hearth, talking amongst themselves in hushed conversation.

"… the third wanted more money actually, but they accepted with just 1000 in the end." Bass was in the middle, speaking to the two others by his side.

"They've done their job well in the past," the man on the right with long black hair spoke.

"They have, and it should be noted that they have never failed us," the other man said. "They will do this job and be back soon. It's a long travel from here, so it will take some time for the news to get to—"

Ning walked in without trying to sneak in.

The men who heard his footsteps seemed happy at the sound and turned around with great expectation clear on their faces. However, the moment they saw Ning, their expression changed from a look of hope to a look of dread.
