Mission [8]

The masked figure looked at the two Master-rank guards and said in an emotionless tone,

"No one will leave this place alive."

As soon as the two Master-rank guards heard those words, their expressions became even uglier.

They already knew that, no matter what they did, they couldn't defeat these two.

One of the guards tightened his grip on his sword and asked, "Why are you even killing us? We have no animosity between us."

The masked figure replied calmly,

"Because I'm paranoid, and I don't trust you."

He paused for a moment before continuing,

"And why would I trust complete strangers to keep this secret?"

His gaze then shifted toward the Viscount's daughter, who was trembling in fear behind the two guards.

After looking at her for a few seconds, he spoke once more.

"And the biggest reason you're all dying today..."

"...is because you're weak."

A brief silence followed.
