The Informant handed him a sealed envelope.
"All the Information sent by him is in there. As for the paynt, he requested it be delivered after the etup."
Skynder nodded and opened the envelope.
Inside was a ssage from the Chief of Police.
It had a location and a date, set for tomorrow at noon, as well as a short sentence.
"Co and et , we can talk business."
Skynder crumpled up the paper and threw it in the nearby fireplace.
He left the house. He continued as usual, studying throughout the day, until the ti finally ca. The eting place was at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. This was a known area of gang etups and other criminal activity, but now, Skynder would be eting the Chief of Police there.
A little before noon, he made his way over, stocked and ready. He was prepared to go so far as having an all out war with the entire police force of Sky city. However, he had his own contingency plans, and there should be no fighting, as long as conversation took place first.
Skynder found the warehouse and checked around it, but there was nobody around. He entered it, and saw three n standing together. One was the recognizable Chief of Police, while the other two were most likely higher ups of the police force.
The Chief of Police looked Skynder up and down.
"So this is the legendary Skygod."
Skynder did not say a thing, rely staring at him.
The Chief of Police wasted no ti, beginning to talk.
"You see, with Sky city growing, there are many obstacles. One of the most prominent is cri, which along with the growth of the city, is increasing. There are multiple evils to choose from, and I chose to choose from the least of the evils."
He paused for a mont.
"By the way, half of the police force has surrounded the warehouse by now, just in case you had plans to attack us." The Chief of Police said.
Skynder shook his head. "I have no plans to attack you. However, since you so kindly shared that information, then I must inform you that I have two people watching your wife and kids right now."
The Chief of Police's face did not change, though it was unknown if that was because he had a good poker face or because he had expected this.
"Let's get down to business. This is completely off of the books. We will pay you to take out individuals or groups of people, just like you did with the Dark Sky Gang."
Skynder nodded. "You can officiate that through the Informant. Why et here?"
"I want to extend an invitation which allows you to work with the law instead of against it. We can promise you protection, money, and a seat on the city council. All you have to do is enter the light and only assassinate who we want you to."
Skynder shook his head. "I'm not doing this because I have to, I have plenty of money. I'm also not worried about living in the dark. I have a perfectly normal life without the mask. I'm doing this simply for the love of the ga."
The Chief of Police's face seed to twist with amusent for a mont before refocusing. "In that case, I look forward to working with you. Oh. Also, I want you to personally handle our tasks, not the other assassins in your organization.
Skynder nodded as the Chief of Police and the other two left, the other two not having said a word this entire ti.
Skynder soon left as well, not encountering any resistance.
Although it had seed like a casual eting, the two n brought along with the Chief of Police had morized everything they could about Skynder.
His height, the scarring on his hand, his size, his eye color, his hair color, everything.
However, Skynder had naturally prepared for this. His mask already made his eye color seem black. His hair was mostly covered, and what was let out was fake hair, a different color from his own. He made sure to stand taller and change his voice more as well.
This wouldn't completely fool the Chief of Police, but it was enough to make their information uncertain.
Skynder brought the two assassins back and paid them for their ti.
He soon headed ho. However, as he walked through the entrance hall, he saw three police officers walking around as well. Skynder did not bat an eye. They were surely here to et his brother, the new Baron Sky.
These three were the three he had just t not too long ago.
The Chief of Police turned around and looked at Skynder. He squinted his eyes slightly, but soon stopped paying attention.
He had seen Skynder's height, though that was not much of a connection at all.
What made him most interested was the glove on his hand, the sa hand where the scarring was on the Skygod's hand.
The possibility of Skynder, an 11 year old child, being the Skygod, was naturally too ridiculous to even consider for more than a mont. It was no more than sothing out of a story.
He entered a room with the other two police officers, most likely to et Baron Sky.
Inside, he was indeed eting Baron Sky.
"How did it go?" Baron Sky asked.
"It was partially successful, though he did not end up accepting the offer."
"It was a long shot anyway. What information did you gather?"
One of the two officers took out a piece of paper, and as the two officers discussed, he drew.
Eventually, an accurate portrait was drawn.
Baron Sky looked at it for a mont, before sothing seed to appear in his mind. It was a small possibility, but that scarring was sothing his father had told him about.
He did his best to keep calm and spoke. "Alright. Thank you. Keep updated, but I must continue with my work, if you don't mind."
The Chief of Police nodded. The three police bowed and left the room.
As soon as they left, Baron Sky's eyes were filled with suspicion.
