Out of the corner of his eye, Nemesis noticed how Medina was looking at his weapon. Desperation to keep her secret was sinking in no doubt. Frustration build up in the vigilante, he had more work to do this complication was not wanted. If only she kept her mouth shut about the mordercai bit eariler they both wouldn't be in this mess. Her latest verbal jab at him wasn't improving his mood about it either
Another reminder why I hate this war.
He thought brittlely. Honestly, Nemesis didn't care that the woman was a mage. Yes that means she may have talents could make her dangerous but as long she didn't endanger the innocent there is no problem. Nemesis, ponder on what to do as his unwilling informant continue his confession.
"My captain is Fredrick Orwell, he would be back at his office waiting for my next report."
"Anyone else in the city guard leadership connected to this ring?"
"No, the captain thinks it better that it be just between him and those of us he handpicked to trust in the district. The rest of the gurad don't have the stomach for our operation and would stop it if they knew."
The captured thug replied, wondering what's going to happen to him next. Nemesis knew this cretin likely did not know anymore like say who could be supporting this crime wave. Even though it wasn't the whole guard involved, someone else perhaps had their hands in this affair. Captain Oswick however wouldn't be stupid enough to trust such details to the hired help, former guard or not. Realizing this man will certainly expose out the woman's secret and his if left alive, Nemesis had no options but one.
With one swift thrust, his blade stabbed through the scum's chest and the man stared at Nemesis, wide eyed and gasping for breath but death embrace him a moment later. Nemesis took the weapon out of the body and turned to face Medina.
"There that one problem solved. Now before you try anything rash lady hear me out, I have no interest in whatever you are. Exposing your secret would not benefit me truth be told. Think about it, if I really was after you specifically we wouldn't be having this conversation."
