Slave Huan was recognized by his peers as the top dog of the killer apprentices again, since he was the first one to find a client outside the fort by himself.
Before assassinating Pot-bellied Buddha, he had killed the horse-faced man with his mentor outside the fort. However, it was his mentor's secret plan and merely used his apprentice as a weapon, and no one in the fort knew it.
Unlike the secret assassination of the horse-faced man, the prince murder case drew everyone's attention. The apprentices did not care about the prince or Pot-bellied Buddha at all. They just wondered how Slave Huan, who had visited the city only twice, had found a client for himself without his mentor's help.
During his 10-day confinement, many killer apprentices, his friends and even some casual acquaintances, sneaked to his door to visit him. After warm greetings, they all asked him the same question through the door. "How did you find the client?"
