"What do you mean, you paid him? I thought he was supposed to be dead. DEAD!" Joffrey said, yelling at Jared.
They were both inside the little room in a reunion which Jared had to explain to him how he could not kill his target.
"I don't know how, but he survived the lizard men down the sewer, and probably killed the two men we sent," Jared said.
Joffrey was as red as a cherry, and he wanted to find something to punch, but restrained himself from venturing his anger on Jared's face.
He breathed deeply, trying to reassess the situation, "right, Damian got me that time during the tournament, so he is not as simple as he looked. Our prophet warned me, saying I should not mess with him, but who cares? It is not like he is the chosen one!"
The first attempt may have failed, but Joffrey was ready to do many more, at least during the time he had a vacation.
"Look for him again, but this time, don't fail me."
