In the underground Sect, Malam Bei just arrived and was angered by the talisman she had gotten.
"Which fool dares to slander my family?" Malam Bei made her voice echoed through the chambers.
Most assassins were already out forced to by the guard and the assassin. It was the them two along with other stationed guards. The guard made sure to run to Malam Bei when her voice echoed through the walls.
"Generous Malam Bei, please follow me to the room where the offer was conducted." The guard spoke slowly and softly.
"Very well, lead me now. Also, I want to know who else dared to say such false things about my family." She voiced her opinion loudly.
"Malam Bei, I was in the room when the man spoke. I also used a talisman to record the entire speech." The guard spoke and handed her the talisman.
Now she was slightly angry at her daughter. That could not be helped. She needed to ensure that what was said was true. She had already burned the online talisman from the assassin. Hearing it a second time would be disastrous.
The duo arrived in the room. The smell gone and the assassin completely cleaned up. He even looked like royalty compared to the guard from the Sect.
"Malam Bei, I take it you heard the recording?" He asked.
"Shut your filthy mouth. I have not yet talked about that recording." She answered angrily.
"Malam Bei, we all honor and respect you here. He just wanted a confirmation about it." The guard spoke.
"Yes, you damned muscle brain. I could not believe that someone would tarnish my family name. Yet, you stand here like he was the one who could have manipulated you." She rebuked.
"I have fifty assassins all round him currently. Even if he lied to us, he would not live ten minutes." The assassin reassured her.
"At least you have some knowledge and not a complete muscle brain." She replied angrily.
"Should we invite him here and make sure that his testimony is as close as to what he said last night?" The guard asked.
"Very well. We need this to be perfect and so that I too can listen without him knowing." She responded.
"We have three rooms available. Please choose which one like and we will call him here." The assassin was bowing.
"Very well. Make sure that you know where we are and send some guards to fetch that wretched man." She replied.
Meanwhile
"I believe Malam Bei entered the town." The man sent the message to the others.
"I will die." He concluded.
This was not because he knew that it would be a certainty. He concluded it because of how he talked about her daughter.
"I hope that I at least have the vision to see my killer's face." The man thought.
He began to rest waiting for the lunch bell to ring. Instead, loud knocking was heard on his door.
He went to open it up. Four people stood ready to kill him.
"We are in demand of your presence. Please do not make us you." The tallest guard spoke.
Although they were dressed like royal knights, these guards were the highest ranked soldiers in the Assassin Sect. They performed duties such as this to make sure that the public does not try to scurry favor with them or help the person out.
Even though they led him downstairs, the lunch bell rang. The five enjoyed a lunch on his bill. Although it hurt him for several days of full meals. He could at least skip some lunches.
"Very well now let us continue." The tallest spoke.
These guys always took their job seriously. This could be considered either a free meal for them or a way to ensure that no leaks came from him.
By the time lunch ended, they were certain that no artifacts on him were available to be life saving treasures.
Once they reached the room where he would once again tell of his tale. The original guard and the assassin both looked much higher in royalty now than before.
"Before we begin, I want you to know that if the knowledge we have does not compare to the knowledge you gave last night. You will die. If you attempt to sugarcoat the news from last night, you die. If you attempt to flee during the testimony, you die.
If you have to piss during the testimony, you die. If you need to go to the bathroom, now is your time. Also, make sure that any artifacts you have on you are removed to ensure that we have the proper security. We cannot afford this to be wrong now." The assassin spoke.
Although, he went above and beyond what he should have. The guard wanted him to know the absolute truth as to what would happen.
This caught the man into a net with the only way out was to almost repeat what he said word from word last night while the people sent out to look at the Sect belonging to Malam Yui would be giving their testimonies shortly.
