****(POV)
At first, I was hesitant to accept the job.
As assassins, we need to have a clear concept of boundaries.
At least it is the case in this city.
We need to know who we can target and who we should steer clear of.
For example, anyone closely related to the city is a red flag.
Or anyone related to the biggest sects or families.
From time to time we do accept one such job, but only with the approval of the higher-ups.
Funny enough we have no way of knowing who they are.
All we know is we each have an assassination mentor.
One that we should refer to if there is any issue appearing.
Well, they are not babysitters either.
They won't care about our life and death.
They do watch us closely…from afar.
Should we commit anything dangerous for the organization we will be terminated.
That simple.
That job offer was dangerously close to breaking those.
Discussions between professionals are the best.
Right?
