"You reek of blood again... who was it this time?" Serena asked softly, her voice calm and composed beneath the hood that covered her face.
"Just a scum," Ash replied, his tone flat and unbothered, as if it had become nothing more than a part of his daily routine.
Serena didn't flinch at the answer. Instead, she calmly handed him a folded piece of parchment.
"Here. Another list. These are a few more corrupted officers who have been stealing public funds and exploiting the helpless."
Ash took the list, glanced at the names once, and said casually, "I'll be right back."
And just like that, his figure vanished, disappearing as if the wind had carried him away.
Serena stood silently for a few seconds, her eyes fixed on the place where Ash had been standing just moments ago.
Sigh… He's nothing like the person I had imagined him to be.
