Chapter 2 - Flashback
"Hey, Neah, what took you so long?" a guy with short black hair asked him.
"Babysitting again?" another guy, with long blonde hair said.
They both then laughed at their own jokes, hands pressing against their stomach as they laughed like it was the best joke ever. Neah was annoyed by them.
"So, why did the earl want me here? I quit the gang two days ago." Neah said to them. He really want to go back home, spending his time with his nephew. He couldn't trust Allen to be alone. Especially, when Allen lost Mana.
"Indeed, you quit the gang. However, you are still my best man to complete a certain job."
The trio turned their heads towards the newcomer.
"Earl." they bowed their head in respect as they greeted the newcomer.
"Neah, just this once. Get the money back from this bastard…" the earl showed Neah the man in a photo he took out from his pocket, "… and I won't bother you anymore." he continued. Neah sighed.
"As much as I want to help you, I still have to decl-"
"He has the proof." the earl cut his speech.
"…What?" Neah asked in disbelieve.
"I said, he has the proof that you killed someone. You won't get to spend your time with your nephew anymore if he showed those proofs to the police."
Panic and guilty rose inside of Neah.
"He'll showed it to the police by tomorrow morning. Finish him off before it's too late." The earl continued.
Neah remained silent.
"I know you hate this killing job. But, only the dead can't keep secrets. Or, do you rather Allen learns the truth about you being a murderer?" The earl patted Neah's shoulder.

He did it.
He killed the man and took the money from him.
He done his job.
Why can't he felt relieved?
Allen won't know about him murdering someone if this man died.
So why was he, the merciless killer, felt guilty as he killed the man?
Just when he tried to escape, a young figure caught his attention.
"…Dad…?" the little boy slowly walked toward his father and knelt down.
"Dad, wake up…Don't sleep here. You'll catch a cold, dad…." the boy continued to try and wake his father up. (A/N-I'm making Leverrier the good boy here….=.=…I should made him the bad one…)
"I'm sorry, kid…" Neah muttered as he quickly flee the house.
-another page break-
"Very well, Neah." The earl clapped his hands as he praised his ex-best man of the gang.
"You had my words, Neah. I won't bother you anymore." The earl said to Neah as he guided Neah to the exit.
"YOU MURDERER!" someone shouted.
Everyone turned their heads toward the source of the sound and Neah froze. It was the little boy. "YOU MURDERER! YOU MURDERER! I, LEVERRIER, WILL REVENGE FOR MY FATHER!" the little boy shouted and lunged himself towards Neah. The earl ordered his men to stop the kid while creating chance to let Neah flee the scene.
"I'll never forgive you! I'll make you pay for this!" he heard the boy's last word as he dashed out of his house. He mentally prayed to god, hoping his nephew will be free from all the sins Neah had done.
But, his prayers were in vain.
God ignored his prayers and now, his nephew have to suffer in his place.
