"Y-you… how did you?" one of the elders asked with a trembling finger pointed towards the closing gate behind Alex.

Alex looked back at the gate and turned back around to say, "I have my ways."

The sect master was dumbfounded as well, but she quickly got a hold of her emotions. "What happened inside? We sensed someone dying," she said.

"Someone did," Alex said. "I would like to speak in a little more private scenario if possible."

The sect leader frowned and looked at the elders beside her. He gestured for them to leave and everyone flew away.

"So, tell me what happened," the sect leader asked. "Did you kill the other person? That's not a crime I can help you get away with."

"I did kill the other person, but you don't have to worry. It was no crime," Alex said. "The other person was an assassin that had gone in to observe me for some reason. He seemed to be part of the same group as the Jade-Faced assassin."
