Things were working out smoothly, but William sensed something was about to happen. It was only a matter of time until someone showed up to attack Nathan.
It happened after Nathan spoke with a few merchants, going directly into their houses to speak in private. They were the last ones who would be leaving tomorrow.
Nathan felt proud. He managed to get all 500 people in one day, something most couldn't achieve. Even William was quite surprised. Nathan had many contacts and was one of the most famous guards in the city; people liked him.
This was because he wasn't corrupt; he helped people not for money, but because he wanted to, which charmed the hearts of the citizens.
"Nathan," a voice came from one of the alleys, "how are you doing, my friend?"
When Nathan looked, he saw it was Alderon, a fellow guard and friend. "Hey, Alderon, what are you doing here? Isn't it too late? Your shift starts early tomorrow," Nathan said with a smile.
