As I entered the dimly lit alley, the faint smell of damp earth filled my nostrils. Two figures stood at the far end, both cloaked in black clothing that allowed them to blend seamlessly into the shadows. Their eyes glinted dangerously as they watched my approach, like a pair of wolves ready to pounce.
"You two, you must be assassins, right?" I said, my voice steady despite the racing of my heart. I kept my stance casual, but every muscle was tense, ready to react at a moment's notice.
The two men exchanged a glance, their eyes widening slightly in surprise at my boldness. They clearly hadn't expected to be found out so easily.
"You're waiting for Father to beat those guys and suddenly attack so you can catch him off guard," I continued, narrowing my eyes at them. I needed to buy time, gauge their reactions, and maybe throw them off their game.
