Ruel smiled contentedly as he gazed at the snowman he had just finished building, its curves perfectly formed.
Extending his hand towards Cassion, he awaited the carrot to complete the snowman’s nose and enhance its perfection.

He had recently learned that a bounty of 10 million gold coins had been placed on his head.
It was shocking enough but Ruel couldn’t decide whether to laugh or scold Cassion for not informing him earlier, especially considering he had acquired this information by eliminating most of the assassin’s guilds in Leponia.
“It seems that most of the remaining assassins in Leponia are preparing to leave. That’s why I went out yesterday,” Cassion explained, handing the carrot to Ruel.
Pausing before placing the carrot on the snowman’s face, Ruel seemed to savor the moment, as if on a leisurely stroll.
