The Assassin League Friend

A second after, the door opened and Vernon slowly moved toward it.

He looked into the door that was shrouded in darkness, and after pondering about it for a brief moment, Vernon took a twig on the ground and threw it in.

The twig vanished just as expected, and after getting the green light he wanted, Vernon stepped inside the door.

Unbeknownst to Vernon, as he walked in the door, a set of eyes were fixed on him the whole time. And as he disappeared from the surrounding, the owners of the eyes walked out of the hiding place.

"What do we do next?"

The people who had been watching Vernon were none other than the members of the assassin's league.

While they had suffered an immense defeat from Vernon, Orpheus and the other death merchants didn't give up on their pursuit.

"Go report to lord Orpheus about what you witnessed, I will go into the door, and continue to keep track of the target."
