The coffee gave her senses a kick, like she woke up for a second time. A satisfied sigh escaped her lips after drinking like a quarter of her drink already. Standing in front of the cafe to get a carriage, the vampyress shoved her free hand into her pocket and waited. There were lots of carriages looking for passengers since it was the town center and there were lots of people there. Joan got her own carriage just a few minutes later since the queue was moving fast. She directed the carriage drive the way she normally would, to a spot near the warehouse that she was supposed to be at, and asked him to stop there. The reason she did not go with a carriage that allowed many passengers on it was obvious. She was supposed to keep this place a secret, and bringing a carriage full of people was a bad idea in this case. Once the carriage stopped, the vampyress hopped off, paying the carriage driver for the ride and standing there at that same spot until she was sure that the carriage was out of sight. She looked around to check if anyone was watching her or anything, then headed to the abandoned warehouse where she would find the Cold Colliers. The men at the door greeted her and gestured for her to enter, which was something they normally did. Giving them a nod each, the vampyress stepped through the door.

There was also someone else who was probably one of the Cold Colliers who kept checking Mattoro’s vitals all throughout this time as if he was going to see a huge difference in such a short amount of time. Mattoro did not look like he was about to drop dead, but you could tell that he had taken some serious damage from the battle, and if he was not careful, something bad could happen, like death, although in this case he was not too close to death. Hopefully Frankan was not going to target Mattoro, because he was the one paying Joan for doing all this work. The vampyress kept silent the whole time. Mattoro took some time to start talking as well. He was not completely well yet, obviously, and he needed some time to do literally everything. When he started talking, he went straight to the point, saying everything he wanted to about the mission this time. It almost felt like he was venting instead of giving her instructions and details about the mission. He was quite angry with how Frankan had them all fooled, but he trusted Joan and he trusted that she could turn this situation around for the Cold Colliers. The doctor that was sitting on the opposite side had a frown on his face. He probably wanted his patient to rest and not get so riled up over this situation.

Joan did not say a word while Mattoro recollected his energy to say more. She wondered what else he had to say. He probably did not have Frankan’s address. Joan was pretty sure the contractor was not that dumb. After all, he had managed to fool even herself, although you could say that the vampyre had underestimated him the first time. So she was not going to let that happen again for the second time. The last thing that Mattoro said was that she would probably have to take out the two bodyguards before she had a chance at Frankan. She almost rolled her eyes since a non-mage was telling her how to do a job, but she just nodded instead. She was a woman of few words, so when Mattoro lied back down on his hospital bed, she stood up from the chair and nodded towards the doctor who seemed relieved as soon as Mattoro stopped straining himself. The vampryess left the hideout. So it was her job to find out where Frankan was now. And how the fuck was she going to accomplish this if she had not a single clue on where to start with this? Letting out a very stressed sigh, Joan stood outside the abandoned warehouse for some time before she started walking. She would have to look for him anyways since that was her job. Mattoro did promise a bigger reward for this since she stuck with him throughout the whole operation and this was the final mission.

Since the address provided was not like on the other side of town, Joan decided to just walk there. Sure she would not be at a hundred percent if the distance was greater than she expected, but why the fuck not. It could not be that far from where she currently was. It was still in the afternoon so the sun was still out, though it was kind of cloudy at the moment. Joan was sort of thankful. She hated sweating. But thanks to the current weather condition, it seemed she would not have to worry too much about sweating. Looking up at the sky as she walked, she saw that the sky was currently filled with clouds that were in different shapes and form. She stuck to the sidewalk so that she would not bump into anyone or any vehicle while she stared at the clouds. She was trying to figure out what the clouds were shaped like. She saw that one of them was shaped like a dented boat, another looked like a really fat fish. There were a lot of shapes and she almost bumped into a streetlamp while staring up at the clouds. It was quite boring walking to the given address, so she needed something to kill her boredom. She was getting close to the address now.

Joan was nobody’s assistant. She was doing a job and her client was Mattoro. Since Mattoro wanted Frankan killed, she was going to kill him. Simple as that. It was as if she was called for a some kind of weird talk show. Because as soon as she set foot in the warehouse, Frankan started speaking and would not shut up. Because of the blank expression on her face, he probably was not sure whether or not she was still his enemy. He did add in that he was going to give her rewards for helping him get rid of Kalaus and the other one, Giroud. Joan kept a straight face as she listened to him boast about what he was going to get after all this. That was not the only thing he talked about. What he said next confirmed what he thought of Joan. She knew the guy was not stupid. He already knew that she was not going to switch sides so easily. Joan gave him a small smile. He was far from being done with his great speech. He seemed to have been dying to say all of this to Joan’s face, given the expression on his face. The more she controlled herself so that she looked like she was paying attention to what he was saying, the more she felt like killing them already. Frankan was talking about his plans for when he was done killing the vampyress here.

It seemed that finally, Frankan was ready for the action. That was when Joan’s attention snapped from studying her surroundings to the two huge men standing in front of her at the moment. Since they were wizards and not actually brutes (even though they looked like it), they simply stood there, ready to hurl some spells at Joan. Hopefully her strength and speed surpassed them. That way she could dodge or deflect whatever they were going to use on her. Frankan smiled smugly as he stood behind his bodyguards, ready to watch the match. All he needed was some popcorn. Instead of popcorn, though, he had something else to munch on. Joan noticed that he had brought some snacks with him, which was kind of funny. She had not expected him to be that that prepared. Anyway, the vampyress stood in a position that showed she was ready to fight. While keeping her eyes on the both of them, she balanced her weight on the balls of her feet so that she could move with fluidity. This was all a result of a lot of training. Even though she didn’t have a lot of spells to hurl at them, she was trained in physical combat, so hopefully she would not even need to bring in her magic for this fight. Hopefully, she could just use her vampyric strength and speed. The two wizards raised their hands, ready to fight her, just like she was ready to take them.

The vampyress dodged the fireball that came flying her way, stepping to the side so that it simply missed her and hit the door behind her. She was looking for an opening to strike the male first. He seemed to be supporting the woman while she probably playing offense. Since offense was the best defense, Joan thought it was time for her to strike back. Which was when she almost got blasted away with another fireball. Thanks to her fast reflexes, she was able to dodge that one too, although she missed it by like an inch or so. She could feel the heat of the flames as it passed by her. The vampyress decided that if she was dodging the whole time, soon she would be trapped. In the blink of an eye, a pair of bloody wings sprouted out of her back, stretching out. The vampyress then swiped her left wing across, causing a strong wind to travel towards her enemies. Immediately after, she would dash towards them, taking the male wizard and biting into his neck as hard as she could, draining him of his lifeblood. Due to how shocked the female wizard was, Joan was able to buy some time to completely drain the man. She was a fast eater when it was necessary. Then she turned towards the female, who screamed before she was drained of life as well. Licking her lips, the vampyress turned towards the contractor.

After feeding from all three of them, Joan’s wings disintegrated and she wiped her mouth so that it was not a bloody mess. She left all three bodies just like that. There was obviously going to be evidence that this was the work of a vampyre, given the bite marks on their necks, but Joan did not care at all. Now that she was done with them, she had one little thing to do first before she went back to Mattoro. Since Frankan the dumbass had given her an address where his money was stored, she was going to pay it a visit and take what he would have wanted her to have if he was alive. Dead or alive, it made no difference really. Joan was going to get that money anyway. So the vampyress walked to the location, got the money, and now got a carriage to the spot she usually stopped at to go to the Cold Colliers’ hideout. It took a few minutes, and once she got there, she hurried into the room in which Mattoro would be on a hospital bed. As soon as Mattoro saw Joan, he almost jumped out of his bed. He was so relieved that all of this was over, and so was Joan, to be quite honest. She could finally be at peace now and probably leave Baska as well. Mattoro rewarded her generously for the mission and Joan bid him farewell before she left.
