After he stepped out of the inn, Sharp broke like a bubble and disappeared into the dark night. Not moving his eyes back, Old Green asked coarsely, "Are you going to accept his contract?"
"Whether we accept it or not, the most important issue right now is that this place is no longer safe. We have to transfer immediately." Douglas looked rather solemn.
Fernando was also back to himself. He mumbled, "It's up to those old men whether or not to accept the contract. What we need to do is to get out of here and set up another relay station."
It was obvious that, even if the Union was to accept the mission to assassinate Alfonsol and build up a good relationship with the nobles such as Sharp, they wouldn't want to expose the relay station that was very important for the organization to any strangers. If they wanted to communicate with the nobles, a smaller, one-way channel would be better, say, through Old Green.
