Sherrinford and Xavier, immediately rushed towards the abandon Opera to investigate a certain someone.

On the abandon Opera, there is music that is playing. A music, that no one anticipate to hear. It was relaxing, mesmerizing and beautiful music.

There's a man playing the piano. He's wearing a cloak and his face is covered with darkness. The man's skill on playing the piano is superb, he's perfectly pressing each chords with majestic aura. He was unstoppable, fast, and dazzling.

Until he stopped on an unknown note, with the music suddenly turned from peace, to violent. He was trying to perfect it, as if it was an unfinished one. Yes, he's trying to recreate the unfinished piece of Mozart which is the "Requiem". He sighs heavily and gave the piano a little bit of disappointment. He removed the cloak from his head and it was revealed that it was the late doctor.

Before he stands up, someone from the audience clap. He shouts;

"Bravo Dr. Oliver Evans! Amazing as always, would it be ashamed if you were to perish right now."

The look on the doctor's face was priceless, as he saw the hitman clapping on the audience while the sniper is sitting besides him on the audience.

The doctor couldn't stand up, nor he could speak. The hitman proceed with his words and told the doctor;

"You know, I always wonder how pitiful would it be if I were to kill someone important as you to society, since, you did infact unintentionally kill someone, I might aswell kill you unintentionally by shooting you and burning this place to the ground."

Dr. Evans is in tears and close his eyes. The hitman smiles and grabbed the gun. He stands up and walk towards the doctor.

"Oh my" the hitman said, "how wonderful to see a man of talent crying and begging for mercy. HAH! how does it feel to run until the end of times? Oh well, after this, I might kill your wife aswell. After all, you love him so soooooo dearly! Eh?"

The doctor stands up and defended his wife, the fear he has was changed into anger, he won't let the hitman murder his wife aswell. So he sneakily grabbed his knife from his pocket and pointed it to the hitman.

The hitman laughs as he saw the big disadvantage of the knife against a gun.

He pointed the gun towards the doctor and said;

"I have a train to somewhere in Durham tomorrow, I will burn this place like an accident. I can't wait to put this bullet on your head. Goodbye now, Doctor!! HAHAHAHA!"

The hitman shots the doctor at the leg and he felt the pain. The doctor fell, crying for help but it was no use. The doctor tries doing medical treatment to himself but the hitman stopped his hands.

The hitman laughs and said;
"HAHAHAHA! oops! I missed? What if we shoot the hands next?"

And so the hitman did. He shot the right hand of the doctor and he screamed in agony. He could barely talk with the tears he has. The tears are flooding as if he drinks a full gallon of water.

The hitman laughs again and pointed it on his head. He said;

"This time, I won't miss Dr. Evans. I'll see you in hell!"

Just before the hitman pulls the trigger, he was punched from the back by Sherrinford! The hitman was blasted away from the audience seats and the gun was caught by none other than Xavier! Sherrinford jumps on the audience seat to give the hitman a stomach pain but he missed. The hitman kicks his leg and Sherrinford fell.

The hitman then grabbed the knife that the doctor has and was walking towards Dr. Evans. But unexpectedly, Xavier shots him at the leg, telling him to not move. The hitman felt the pain but he recalls that the gun was only loaded with three bullets. So when Xavier tries to shoot again, he was instead punched by the hitman.

The wife then shows up and saw his husband lying on the floor covered with blood.

The husband terrifically asked;
"What are you doing here!?"

The wife then replied;
"We've come here to save you, dear!"

The wife and the husband argued while the duo were fighting the unstoppable hitman.

(Just some context, the hitman is 6'11 tall and has a strangely big physique. He can dominate the hand to hand combat and long range shooting. He's also bald)

Sherrinford then grabbed the same knife and stabbed the hitman on the left side of his hips. He then punched Sherrinford away, blasting him all the way to the piano.

Xavier punched the wounded legs and the hitman fell. But the hitman headbutts Xavier and Xavier fell.

The hitman uses the same gun but with one loaded bullet so that he could end the wife of the doctor.

Xavier and Sherrinford saw this and immediately told the wife to run. But the wife was so busy focusing on treating the wounds of his husband. The doctor then told his wife to run but it was too late. The hitman pulled the trigger, the wife unconsciously look at it and...
