Never Let an Offense Go Unanswered

As the old saying goes, if you walk by the river often enough, sooner or later your shoes will get wet. Nan Yin, an assassin who takes on every dirty job there is, has finally learned just how true that saying is.

At this point, Nan Yin was reminded of another old saying: Even the wicked have their match.
