As for money, as long as Lacuna had funds, Noah would never be short of it.

“An old friend,” he said without elaborating. He took a cigarette case from his pocket, shook out one, and held it between his lips without lighting it. “It’s just a small job-finding someone. I’ll be back in three to five days.”

His tone was casual, as if it truly were nothing more than a trivial errand.

Spence leaned back in his wide executive chair. He knew Noah well: the more lightly he spoke of something, the less simple it usually was.

Besides, for a “small job” that required Noah himself to ask for leave, the background of the person involved was bound to be interesting.

“Finding someone?” Spence said slowly, studying him. “You know, I’ve also taken on a job recently-looking for someone. That person… is named Ryan Douglas.”

Noah had just picked up a lighter from the desk. Hearing the familiar name, his hand slipped with a soft scrape.

His expression, however, did not change. He calmly lit the cigarette, took a drag, and only then said, “Does Lacuna take on jobs like that now?”

It was Spence who saved him, encouraged him to live, taught him his skills, and told him with his own mouth that darkness was not to be feared, nor were bloodstained hands. What was truly frightening… was having no faith.

Death existed to give meaning to life. Killing and war, at times, were also for the sake of protection.

He was not a desperate fugitive with his life hanging by a thread. He was a blade that could help fragile souls trapped in the dark.

When Spence took him along as a mercenary, the two of them wandered from place to place, often going hungry. Yet, they never accepted just any job for money. They only wanted to help more people.

The founding of Lacuna had been the same.

In its earliest days, Lacuna took in the homeless, taught them skills so they could protect themselves and those they cared about.
