???'s POV
I watched from the rooftop as my target ran through the dark streets of Vale City. As I gave chase, I leapt from the roof and tackled him to the ground. Pressing my foot on his back, he was unable to get up.
Target: P-PLEASE, WHATEVER HE PAID YOU, I'LL DOUBLE IT! JUST LET ME GO!
???: if I remember right, my employer hired me to kill you 'cause you're the one who murdered his "little girl", the satisfaction of killing a bastard like you is payment enough.
The target kept begging for his life before I reach for my side of pulled my sword from its sheath.
???: good riddance, may your soul suffer in your next life.
Without another word, I impaled him through the back, his final moments on the ground, under the boot of his killer.
I reached into my pocket and took out my scroll. After typing out my employer's number and dialing, he answered.
Employer: is it done?
???: yeah, he's deader than a hairless rat in the snow.
Employer: good...thank you. I already paid you upfront, so our business is over. See you around.
???: you too, I hope you're daughter can finally find peace.
He hung up and so did I. Just then, a voice spoke from behind me.
???: impressive, I would expect nothing less from a hitman as skilled as you.
I turned, only to see a woman with black hair, wearing a red dress.
???: if you're here to talk about a job, I prefer to speak with clients over a meal, not out in the open like this.
???: alright then, let's go. I know the perfect spot.
???: lead the way, miss...
???: Cinder.
After a good 2 or 3 minute of walking, me and Cinder arrived at a hole in the wall restaurant just outside of Vale City. We took our seats, I ordered, and waited for our food to arrive.
Cinder: you know, for someone who prefers to keep quiet about his work, you have quiet the reputation.
???: I don't wanna brag, but I HAVE been doing it for years.
Cinder: so I've heard.
After a little more small talk, our food arrived, and we began talking business.
???: so who do you want dead?
Cinder: me and my associates are planning something big, and I'm pretty sure he just might get in the way. He's a Beacon student, his name is Midnight Nox.
???: let me stop you right there, I know for people like you, it doesn't matter who you hurt, but I go by a code when it comes to accepting hits.
I then started counting each rule of my fingers.
???: No killing if the target is a child, no killing if the target has a family, and no killing if the hit is ordered out of spite. You're breaking rule number one.
Cinder: oh, but Midnight isn't an ordinary child, take a look at this.
She placed her scroll on the table and began playing a video. In the video was the Midnight kid at the Vytal Tournament with black spirals on his arms and black eyes.
???: those eyes, those markings...
Cinder: keep watching.
Later in the video this kid under went a transformation, turning into a terrifying monster that I haven't seen in years.
???: the Night Prowler.
Cinder: I assume you recognize that creature?
???: consider it done.
Cinder: glad to hear it
She handed me a piece of paper.
Cinder: take this number and wait for us to call you. Only then can you start your hunt.
???: got it.
I stood up from my seat and slapped some cash down on the table. As I was walking out of the restaurant Cinder called out to me.
Cinder: just one moment...
I turned to back to her and saw her smiling at me.
Cinder: I never got your name.
???: ...it's Croyal.
