Chapter 261: Last Minute Changes.
The warehouse was shrouded in darkness, as expected. It wasn’t that big of a problem since the interior was mostly empty, but Rose still wished that they would turn the lights on. It didn’t help that the floor was covered in cheap steel plates. Stepping on it felt like walking on thin ice that could break at any moment and plunge them into cold water.
Soon after entering, they noticed a man sitting on one of the crates piled near the back. His features remained concealed in the darkness until he walked toward the center of the warehouse, where the faint glow from the streetlights outside illuminated his face.
"It’s good to see that you made it out safe and sound," Viktor said with a smile. "Well done, everyone."
Silence lingered between them for a moment before it was broken by a sigh from Rose.
"You won’t believe what we had to go through." She said. "I’m definitely going to have nightmares after today."
"This has been the single most stressful job I have ever participated in." Said Mr. Pike.
"Well, you are coming out of this with a loss." Said Kirk. "It’s a shame about that red sword of yours."
"A shame, indeed." Letting out a wistful sigh, Mr. Pike looked around then turned to the fixer. "I take it the client has yet to arrive."
Viktor lingered with the answer, looking at the three one by one.
"There have been some last-minute changes." He said.
