The assassination was a success. But it was not something I could complete effortlessly on my own.
While checking around the party venue, I noticed that there was a powerful Magician nearby. He was a mental Magician. Magician who excel in magic that affects their target's mind. So it's like brainwashing or hypnosis.
Giselle didn't know about that person because he was not discovered when she was investigating before. But after checking the target's phone call history, we found out that the target, Manuel, has called the Magician to do a favor a few months ago. And it was through this phone call that I learned about a mental Magician.
So, Manuel actually prepared something. He wanted to stage an assassination attempt on himself. Then the attempt will end with a failure. But he will continue with the party so the others will look at him more favorably. Seeing him as someone strong and dependable. To be able to escape from an assassination and still go on.
