Leo took a deep breath as the call disconnected. Then he mumbled, "Fooling them is fun."

On the other side, Socrate was made a call to Amor. He didn't dare to disturb Bishop in the middle of the night. The steward picked up the call and asked, "How can I help you, Master Socrate?"
Socrate said, "Amor, I just received a call from a person who identified himself as Death Gaze. Some hitman, he said that the Counselor is dead and before dying The Counselor hired this man to kill Kastya. I have no idea what is going on here. Did you get any heads-up from the Counselor regarding this issue?"
Amor shook his head and replied, "No, Master Socrate. He was given a free hand to deal with this assignment by the old master. How much is this Death Gaze asking for?"
Socrate replied, "No matter how much, if it is true that the Counselor hired this man then this man should be worth it. I will run a few checks and see what he is capable of and then pay him money."
