Mordret showed no reaction to Sunny mentioning the Nihilist — outside of how a normal person would react, that was. Unease, discomfort, and a hint of indignation showed on his face, but nothing more.
If he was acting, the man deserved to be a lead performer in a renowned theater.
But then again, that was exactly what Mordret was capable of.
He sighed and shook his head.
"I see. I heard there was a new victim?"
Effie nodded.
"Indeed. The body was discovered yesterday, in a park by the river."
Mordret seemed saddened by the news, but also a little curious.
"How very tragic. However, detectives… I wonder why you deemed it necessary to speak to me, of all people?"
His expression was full of innocent confusion.
Sunny cleared his throat.
"Well, you see, the victim was an employee of yours. A graduate of one of the Valor Group's charities and a security guard right here in this building."
Hearing the name, Mordret seemed genuinely shocked.
