After acquiring information about who was related to the broker and who was behind the introduction, the gang quickly moved to find Joe.
Joe was not too big of a person in the criminal underworld of the city and could only be recognized as being a murderer for hire.
He did not have loyalty to one group in particular and followed his whims and desire for money more than anything.
If he was not killing others for money then he was beating them up.
If he was not doing one of those things then he would kidnap others to use for ransom money or to sell them off into the slave trade.
While he did do a lot of things that earned money from doing evil deeds, he was more well-known for killing others since he took a special liking for it and was driven by his bloodlust at times.
Joe would become quite brutal to the point that he would sometimes take his tasks too far and would murder someone he was only asked to go so far on those tasks.
His reputation in the criminal underworld was both bad and good as a result of his actions.
There were those who viewed him as being useful for tasks that involved killing but he was less trustworthy when it came to tasks that required having more self-control.
His location was not too easy to uncover but there were a couple of spots that the broker knew of where he would show up on occasion so they were the only locations to monitor and look around for some time.
The current location was located near a pub that was on the outskirts of the city.
He entered the pub for some time before exiting as he looked a little tipsy.
Joe moved through the street he stumbled a little before correcting his walking posture a little as he continued to move forward.
He kept walking until he soon arrived at a small junkyard and entered.
What he did not realize was that he had been seen some time ago and he had someone tailing him.
A moment of carelessness had ended up resulting in him and the location he was staying becoming exposed.
Joe was just settling into his environment as the day was soon coming to an end.
The sun was already down and it was becoming a lot darker.
The surrounding junkyard was small compared to most so walls and gate were still quite visible from where his building was positioned.
Joe passed by the window when something caught his eye all of a sudden. "What was that?"
He was certain that he spotted something and it looked like a shadow of someone that appeared and moved briefly.
It appeared and disappeared so quickly that he was unable to get a proper look at it but that was all it took for his guard to raise.
Such a small coincidental moment resulted in him changing his mind about what he was originally going to do for the day.
A cold and murderous look appeared on his face as his paranoia set in. "I wonder who dares enter my territory..."
The moonlight shone through the window showing his appearance for a moment as he looked mostly human but there were some parts that were a little unusual.
His whole body shape was like that of a human as he had a well-built muscular body with a light skin tone.
Joe had a pair of black eyes with reddish brown hair while his face had sharper features and a single scar on one side of his cheek.
The main features that stood out was that his eyebrows were a little different than others as if they were curved a little with a pointed edge and his nose was a little more pointed than most.
He was dressed in a simple sports jumpsuit and trainers while he held nothing in his hands when he started to move toward the back door of his home.
His movements started to become more covert as he sneaked out of the back door and slipped away into the darkness of the junkyard.
Meanwhile, a small number of people were currently sneaking inside the junkyard after scaling the walls.
Each of them had split up as if to circle around the outer edges of the junkyard before slowly making their way further inward.
They all moved through the junkyard the best that they could as they tried to remain as quiet as possible.
Each of them was aiming to approach the house in the middle and to cut off all possible exit routes which would make it difficult for someone like Joe to escape from them unless he was able to overpower them in some way.
One figure cautiously moved forward as they tried to navigate the surrounding environment in the darkness with only the moonlight coming down to light up the open areas a little more.
What they did not notice that among some of the trash they passed by, a shadowed figure was lying in wait.
There was a little noise from the rustling of their movements but it was already too late.
Something came from them suddenly as if being swung out toward the back of the other person.
That figure seemed to be startled upon hearing the sound coming from nearby so their guard raised and they began to turn but it was not enough.
Pain came from their side as something pierced through them and then there was more to come as their pierced flesh was tugged at.
Rather than being released once the thing that pierced them was pulled at, it only seemed to remain in place like it was caught on something so they were the ones being pulled back toward the attacker.
The body of the attacker morphed as the fingers curved to become shaped like sharp hooks which were aimed toward the figure that was being pulled toward them.
A murderous look appeared in their eyes as if they were enjoying the thrill of the hunt.
