Chapter 310 Shadows (2/2)
Henry was currently holding onto a pistol and a combat knife as he warily looked at his surroundings while backing onto a corner of the room. He stood there in that corner without letting his guard down for three hours straight.
...
While waiting for the opponent to strike, Henry could already guess who this person attacking him was. The only people that have this much skill in stealth were the Mutsu's and currently the strongest Mutsu, Shadow was here. Seeing as Henry was looking for Shadow's cousin, it was obvious that Shadow would come to strike him down.
'Damn playing a game of attrition with these level of assassins isn't good for me. I'm obviously going to be the first to fold.' It was at this point that the hunter suddenly became the hunted.
Henry started to clench his teeth as he started to think of the best solution to win at this moment. While Henry was thinking of a solution to his problem, he started to think about Richter, he couldn't understand what that guy was thinking sending him to capture someone like Sayaka.
Among the ten he was the second weakest of the group, which made it weird to send him to face someone of this level. 'How does Richter expect me to face off with someone like Shadow? As usual our leader is so f*cking unreasonable.'
...
An hour more passed and Henry still couldn't move from his position. That was when he suddenly thought of something. He didn't know if Sayaka was here, but if she was he might have a chance.
”Shadow and Sayaka Mutsu, I know you two are here. I'm Henry from the organization called the Shadow Mercenaries.” Henry suddenly shouted, but as expected no one responded.
”I've come to give you an invitation to attend a celebration for your friend Alexander. All of your friends will be there as well, Rachel, Emily, Evangeline, Niel, Kei, and even Oliver will be there.”
When Henry said Oliver's name he saw something move beside the closet. Henry started shooting at that position where he saw the movement, but nothing happened. At this point Henry was getting a bit irritated.
”Fine, if you don't want to come then you don't need to. I already told you about the celebration, if you don't come, I'm sure your friends might be a little disappointed... Oh right, I heard that Oliver was hurt pretty badly when-” It was then Henry saw that someone was already beside him. He slashed at the shadowy figure, and then out came Sayaka who was hiding in the shadows.
Henry didn't follow up his attack on Sayaka, since he knew, the moment he strays away from the corner would be the moment he dies. Since there was still the more threatening Shadow hiding in the room. So for now henry decided to talk to Sayaka.
”So Sayaka, are you coming to the celebration?”
