After some introspection, it can be noted that the Dictum of Death had not made its appearance for quite some time. The one who had possession of it must not be a man of simple character. For him to execute this dictum, whatever the reason, it would mean that the consequences as a result of the Dictum of Death's emergence this time around would be no minor thing.
Those involved with the Dictum of Death would not be able to profit easily from it either. Before the Dictum of Death's possessor could say anything more, the many assassins would serve as the first sacrificial batch. Then, the dark clouds and its intimidating aura were not something that they could easily shrug off!
All in all, it was better for them to continue their observation for a few more days before deciding their next move.
