"What do you mean there are still people targeting Xander Emerson?" Sal asked, shock evident in his voice after hearing about what had happened the previous night. "I thought we were the only ones hired back then."
"I assumed the same thing," Ivy replied quietly, her expression thoughtful. "But what happened yesterday is still bothering me."
Back when Raven had accepted the assignment, she hadn't cared about anything beyond the mission itself.
Her only objective had been simple—eliminate Xander Emerson and disappear.
She never bothered digging deeper into the forces surrounding him because, at the time, none of it mattered to her.
But now things were different.
The Dark Knight Clan had already fallen into ruin.
Which meant the people who attacked last night were someone else entirely.
And that raised an even bigger question—
Why was Xander still being targeted?
