Meanwhile, Gideon was at the lakefront, looking at the figure in black with keen interest. He chuckled and asked, You seem strong, but I don’t recognize you. Where are you from, or rather, who sent you?” 

“Tom,” the man replied flatly. 

“Ah, I see. That fat pig’s got some nerve to be still causing trouble,” Gideon remarked. 

Reaper’s gaze turned ice–cold. He stated, “Tom is my friend. Insulting him is insulting me, and doing so is a death 

sentence. 

“Take ten seconds to savor the sun and this world one last time because I’m sending you to meet your maker soon. 

Gideon laughed, genuinely entertained. “At least tell me who you are, so I don’t die clueless.” 

“Reaper–Ninth on the Hitman Guild’s Shadow Ranking!” 

“Hitman Guild?” Gideon pondered thoughtfully. He suddenly remembered the self–proclaimed King of Hitmen, Jeremy Boisclair, who ranked first in the Hitman Guild’s Shadow Ranking. 

Jeremy had been caught and brought to Oasis Vale years ago, initially defiant but eventually became completely submissive. Having served his time and fully reformed, he left Oasis Vale six months ago. 

Gideon grinned. “Ranked ninth, huh? Not bad, but you’re a long way from Jeremy.” 

Reaper sneered, “You talk as if you’ve met him.” 

“Oh, I have. Beat him up, too. That guy trembles at the mere sight of me.” 

“How dare you!” Reaper roared in fury. “You dare disrespect the King of Assassins? You deserve death a thousand times over! Your time’s up! When you meet the Devil, tell him Reaper sent you.” 

In a flash, Reaper moved with uncanny speed. His explosive power brought him before Gideon in the blink of an eye, and he aimed his dagger at Gideon’s throat.
