The assassin fainted after he gave an unintelligible speech. Benjamin had no choice but to continue carrying him and walking down the path with the old man.
Soon, they exited the secret passageway.
Both did not mutter a single word on their way out.
The old man did not say another word after he revealed that the assassin was his son that he had not seen for the past thirteen years. He walked on in silence as if he had lost any desire to talk.
Benjamin did not dare to question on anymore as well.
He regretted joking about the assassin to the old man. Although the old man replied with a smile on his face, Benjamin believed he had hurt the old man with his insensitive joke.
Although the old man seemed calm all the time, Benjamin felt the bitterness hidden in the old man’s witty tone as he said the word "son". Furthermore, Benjamin would never understand the feeling of being separated from his son for thirteen years.
