“...Wow.”

Milano, Italy.

Inside Colaion family’s Leolen Mansion, Vanessa and Paolo were watching the CCTV footage of Friday’s assassination incident.

“Perfection as expected.”

Jeronimo’s workmanship was flawless. Siemens was instantly killed, and the assassin disappeared as though he never existed. He had escaped from Torino, which was deep inside Colaion family’s sphere of influence, without leaving behind a trace.

“But what killed him?”

Paolo asked. Vanessa rested her chin on her hand and replayed the tape. However, the CCTV’s low quality footage couldn’t capture exactly what happened.

“I’m not sure.”

“I... think it was a bullet.”

“No way.”

Guns were indispensable weapons even in the current era.

Although they were called well-assembled toys compared to artifacts, in terms of market size, the firearm market was the same as the artifact market.

This was because cold weapon artifacts were mostly traded between two guilds, two individuals, or between a guild and an individual. Alternatively, they were traded in auction houses or special markets like the Violet Banquet.

On the other hand, guns were usable by even ordinary civilians, and high-class masterpiece guns were even capable of killing low-intermediate rank monsters.

In other words, the firearm trade was much more active and frequent than artifact trade.

“There shouldn’t be anyone in Jeronimo Mercenary who uses a gun.”

But that was the extent of guns. A tool for self-defense used by ordinary people against weak monsters.

There was no reason for the powerful to use guns.

“But it looks like a bullet no matter how I look at it....”

“How would a magic bullet pierce through the barrier? Anyways...”

Vanessa’s expression stiffened intimidatingly.

“You better keep quiet about the whole thing. Don’t open your mouth no matter what happens. We know nothing of what happened, got it?”

This matter was a secret they had to carry to their graves.

Godfather Colaion cared the most about the safety of his family. He would surely be enraged by Siemens’ death. No matter how much of a fool Siemens was, it was Godfather Colaion’s unbreakable creed that the punishment of a family member be carried out openly.

“...Of course, I know.”

Paolo nodded as if to ask why she would mention such an obvious thing.

“....”

However, Vanessa was worried. In movies, it was always someone like him who slipped up....

Unable to trust her own brother’s words, Vanessa even took out a ‘magic contract’.
