With the assassins dispersed, I approached the lead assassin. He was glaring hatefully, trying to get up but unable to as long as Lydia pinned him down with her spear.
I walked up to him. “Who hired you?”

“B? Ahh… I think that’s my current adventuring rank.” I snapped my fingers. “That’s why you guys were confused.”
