Bab 182: No Time to Breathe

"Quick, get me inside!" Rory yelled as some of his men appeared in front of the building. "Ignore that body. Let's get all our defenses up. There may be more assassins in the area."

"Who would do that?" One of the men asked before the last of them entered the building and closed the door.

"I don't know. It could be anyone. It could be anything from the Scarlet Syndicate trying to get a new deal to force us to hand over our weapons to them or even the Symons family.

There are also local nobles who resent what our group has done, and soldiers too." He said as he tried to ignore the pain in his right chest, where he had already stopped the bleeding with his mana.
