The next morning, my apprentices and I went to meet Élise. What they didn't know, was that Élise is the daughter of the Grand Master Templar leader, François De La Serre.

"Is this even safe to do Arno?" Asked Benjamin.

"If the Order finds out-" Auguste went on, but I interrupted him.

"I know, but having a friend on the inside who's a Templar can help us a lot more about Alphonse and the Templars." I explained.

"I suppose that's a good enough reason." Said Antoine.

Heading inside the Assassin's Cafe, known as the Café Théâtre, we saw Élise sitting there waiting for me.

"Never took you for the chef." She said with a gentle laugh.

"At one point, neither did I. What do you have on Alphonse?" I asked her.

"So far nothing about him, but I suppose three of his followers can tell you that." She answered.

"Where might we find them?" I asked.

"As far as I know they are called La souris, serpent, te faucon. One of them are quick, second one is slimy and dirty, and the third has good eyes." She explained.

"Merci, we'll check them out." I told her.

La Souris, a man fed up with the law because of one particular policeman accusing him of a crime he did not do. He makes life hard for the pauvre. Once we found him, Benjamin volunteered to kill him.

"This connard deserves the worst. Let me do the deed." He explained.

"Alright Benjamin, go for it." I told him and he went inside the house.

A man working on his desk. I quickly and quietly move out of the way and watch Benjamin.

"Are you La Souris?" Ben asked.

The man didn't say anything. He took out a dagger and tried to stab him but, Benjamin used his hidden blade to clash with the dagger. Benjamin then took out his sword and slashed his opponent's chest, then activated his blade and stabbed him.

"What do you have on Alphonse?" He asked.

"He meets with two other people to plan out the mission. He has me send weapons to Serpent te Faucon." He answered and died.

"Repose en paix." Answered Benjamin.

Next was La Serpent, a cruel, evil being who enjoyed blood and gore. Once we found him, Antoine volunteered to take him out.

"Men like him don't deserve to live. I'll do it." He explained.

"Qui suis-je pour arrêter un homme avec une telle détermination?" I asked and he dropped down and attacked him.

Antoine overwhelmed his opponent so when he saw an opening, Antoine jammed his ax into him.

"Alphonse speaks with two of his followers. What does he need to complete his plan?" He asked.

"Pistolets, épées, anything that will kill a man. He lives in the place he was born into Alphonse the Hunter." He answered and died.

"Merci repose en paix." Answered Antoine.

Auguste knew what needed to be done. Once he saw the last man, he fired his sniper and got a direct tir en pleine tête.

"Excellent tireur!" I told him.

"Merci." He said and we returned back to Élise.

"They're dead." I told her.

"What did they say?" She asked.

"Alphonse meets with two other followers for a supply of weapons. He lives in a place where he became Alphonse the Hunter but, that's all we know." I answered.

But then it made me think.

If he lives where he became the new him then that means he's... I quickly trail out of thought and run as fast as I can with Élise and my apprentices following me.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"I believe I've found our Hunter." I answered.
