Lord Canon

Ning stood where he had appeared. Below him, he could see the two women's dead bodies. From what Ning could see, they seemed to have been cut across their chest with a sword. 

The white marbled floor had blood pooled up in it. The walls had splashes of red on what should have otherwise just been white.

Ning was very confused as to what was going on. 

'Did the remaining bandits come to attack after learning that their boss died?' Ning thought. That was a genuine possibility. 

From the bandit's perspective, somebody invaded their secret hideout and everyone died. The only one who had enough manpower, as well as knowledge of their hideout, was Canon. 

'It must be that,' Ning thought and decided to walk out of the room. 

As soon as he stepped out, he stepped on more blood. He looked down and saw a dead man. 

'Canon's bodyguard?' Ning thought in surprise. This was the same bodyguard that had helped him with Zand's diagnosis yesterday.
