A female voice can heard from the cloaked figure as she turns to face the Li-ming.

  ????: Isendra could have done better this.

  The assassin says as the ice that is holding her breaks apart when she tries to move.

  Li-ming: I knew it! You’re the one!

  Li-ming is about to cast another spell but Shang stops her by a hand gesture.

  Shang: Don’t bother trying it again. If she wants to kill you, you will be silenced before you can even speak.

  Assassin: Looks like Deckard has taught you well.

  Shang: Thank you but I don’t think you should have show up.

  Shang says while he has a knife in one of his hands.

  Assassin: Oh, I don’t remember we have any conflicts with Horadrim.

  The female assassin does not make any move when she sees Shang’s knife.

  Shang: I wonder why Isendra’s death has no effect on you? Did Viz-Jaq'taar manage to turn you into a living weapon?

  Assassin: The order has nothing to do with this. We are given orders and we follow them.

  Shang: Even if it involves killing a fellow companion?

  Assassin: Yes, even if it involves killing a fellow companion.

  If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Shang: Then you should leave.

  Shang points his knife to the exit where the group have entered from.

  Assassin: A piece of advice. Interfering with the affairs of the Mage Clans will do you no good.

  The female assassin walks slowly to the exit.

  Shang: What if demon hunters learn the disappearance of Natalya had to do with you lot?

  Natalya was once an assassin of Khral-Harzhek which later becomes Viz-Jaq'taar before she joins the demon hunters. Shang does not think that Natalya could leave Viz-Jaq'taar without paying any price which most assassins did to cut off their connections.

  Assassin stops in her tracks when she hears that.

  Assassin: You would not dare…

  Shang: Try me…

  Shang points his knife at himself.

  There is a short silence between the Shang and the Assassin.

  Assassin: Hmph…

  The female assassin disappears into the shadows.

  Valla: Did Viz-Jaq'taar has something to do with Natalya’s disappearance?

  Valla asks when she hears the conversation.

  Shang: I can only say the chances are not that low.

  Valla: So it was a empty threat? You must be mad. No one dares to do that.

  Shang: What else can I do? Let them kill anyone who becomes a threat?

  Shang turns to look at Li-ming who is clenching her staff as she could not do anything when Shang handles the assassin.

  Shang then takes out a Horadric device and brings it closer to Li-ming.

  The Horadric device grows brighter as it is held closer.

  Valla: What is that?

  Shang: A device for detecting Nephalems.

  Li-ming is deep in her thoughts when the device is brought closer to her. She then notices it when the bright light of the device distracts her.

  Li-ming: Take it away, it is hurting my eyes.

  Shang: Oops, sorry.

  Valla:The result?

  Shang: I can confirm she is one of us.

  Li-ming: What do you mean one of us? What is that device?

  Shang: it will be a long story. Care to come along while listening?
