    No matter 85e9814f6f how much 5882812ca1 I thought 651cb53939 about it, cc1ddad479 the only 48b62b4a92 way I 4883a99096 could survive 89dcd61d5b was to 705579e5b9 entrust the d65d3edb8f job I e417e01b1e was hired 3aa15c0388 for to 7dffb62b95 a mercenary d9de5ad198 who could 4248b15657 do it ab1f2d2e69 better than d82979a86a I could. I even eaddd97f4c considered bringing c568b790f4 a researcher bb5a7ada04 onto my bedc42c112 side to aba771e811 dig into 44520c57e3 the Fixford b1ecc9991e secrets, but d14ee11ea4 it seemed 24b8322fef pointless.

    Surprisingly, Black lived in 9f398ba8e8 an open area. Given his nickname and 7ab7257222 his unusual profession, I 456db03842 had expected him to 34e85dee15 live either in a 968b3d3dd6 remote mountain hideaway, free e2af5df436 from prying eyes. If not, in a e56a6650ad penthouse with a panoramic 97bfe5a51a view of the city. dc54d179bf4d33cf

    But to my a04e082174 surprise, his residence 8c3997b9f4 was a townhouse, f991609b67 nestled along the 9b0a87cdc7 coast, with a 624b20c855 collection of modestly-sized 9679af0293 houses clustered together.adb588534b6d525b

    Yeah. It’s all my bc5813f73c fault. Trusting Adam 22d9afbb69 was my 7be01bb541 mistake. He acted 8bb8ecc892 like he 4f195b63b9 knew Black 077e394320 very well, 4739829928 so I ac44a0a3d2 thought, without 0ff954d3a5 the exaggeration, 07340a6712 at least af59f6e496 he was 8b638a46f9 an acquaintance.

    The same situation 1342e239c7 happened two more bbeef789f0 times. Adam scolded 3479cbe58d me, asking c0a23c1171 if I 945100ff06 was trying 506cec7b95 to impress 053d5834aa someone or 0a86b7943f what kind bd157f7080 of weeds 0ea7c5f221 I was 996186ae06 pulling. 7da1011c0541d5cb

    Adam flashed b371dc1280 a donkey-like a25d84e6f6 grin, revealing 1aedc1d1dd his neat c2a246386d teeth, and 2cbf12a667 threw off 549a973a4e his dirt-streaked d19740018a gloves.

    Nickname: Black. His real 11f8fc8430 name is ef19e5aaaa Bobby.d1f4465187690dbb

    He had a 953be59494 complex about his 43e01cb390 real name, so 0f86199b64 he used a 0276631d1e somewhat teenage-like nickname 41dfbf3ed3 as if it b7c922b8f2 were his real 0a1508b9e2 one. He was a 28f5fe3843 mercenary with extraordinary 5511cacb44 skills and a c8fdfe6697 high price tag. When taking on a 57f3e8718d mission, I could choose bec439fe91 a backup mercenary to 00d5fe5c79 assist me, but Black’s 5d541a7824 fee was nearly equivalent 3aebec7740 to the mission reward, 1ebbd8d752 so I had never e902752da4 chosen him. a514cde8e5ba1fe3
