Noah almost choked on his breath as he heard his order, wadding his eyes round in shock. Not only he but also Kirin stared at the man with a stunned, baffled gaze as he asked him, "What? What did you say, C-Chief?"
"Why do you both look jaw-dropped?" The man tossed a carefree smirk towards them, blowing out a puff of smoke. "I am just assigning him a job. This time, we got a big responsibility on our shoulders since we have been asked to kill Prince Xanthus. And I believe, if someone is capable of this task, it's only Sheoran since he has never failed an assassination before."
"B-But..." Kirin's voice husked a little as he impatiently queried back, "Isn't Prince Xanthus chosen as our crown prince?"
"Yes, you are right." The man nodded and cast a sly smirk, "That's why we have been given the duty to kill the crown prince."
