Bab 240: 46.3 Difficulty?

SHADE

⬛⬛⬛

Shade hissed under his breath as he forced himself to calm down. He knew this man's voice, and surely, he'd let him go if he actually introduced himself.

"A-Alcian... It's me..."

"Shade?"

A second later, the assassin let him go, Shade taking in a deep breath as he placed a hand on his bruised throat. Giving his supposed friend a pointed stare, he shook his head in mirth. "Really, Alcian?"

"What're you doing here?" Alcian growled out, his voice low enough to make sure that they weren't heard. "Are you spying on us?"

Taking the hint, Shade sighed as he lowered his voice to match him. "I've heard that there are weapons of mass destruction being developed in Marquee. I'm here to investigate that."
