"You know where it is?!" The woman asked. "Please, you must give it to me. You do not understand the importance of that item to my master."
"If I just gave it to you, nothing would be stopping you from killing me." Joshua said. "Besides, it is very valuable. I wouldn't be able to just give it to you."
The woman looked sad as she heard his words. The thought of killing Joshua and searching for it crossed her mind, but he was able to find her and follow her movements. So, a fight might be risky. There was also no guarantee that she would be able to locate the hand cannon afterwards.
"Perhaps a trade?" She asked.
"Oh?" Joshua asked, with an intrigued sound in his voice. "What are you willing to trade me for such an expensive item?"
"I can offer my services." She said. "Do you have anyone you need assassinated? I can do it before dawn."
