"Over a decade ago, I had a client in this city, the matriarch of the Thomas family. We have been working together for a very long time.
Back then, which was my last time going there, I had another appointment with her and we were talking about dealing with a certain sensitive matter. Since it was sensitive, it needed to be dealt with delicately without leaving any flaws.
Because of its nature, only the trusted people were supposed to be there, but during the discussion, a slave was eavesdropping and that didn't look well for any of us.
If that slave reported the matter to the patriarch of the family or the authorities, it wouldn't do us any good. So, Shadow did what he knew was best. Expose the slave and let the family take care of her!"
