The Lyn family was dead, Vitor knew it. He knew it the second that Barker's lifeless body was found on a shuttle port. He knew it the second his perimeter sentry went dark and the rest of his family started dying. The emperor had sent one man, and that's all it took, one stupid sin was wiping out his whole family and all Lyn could do was sit there and stew about how Trezlan maneuvered him and then wiped him out. He recalled a conversation once with an associate to never underestimate the Lorentinos, never be at odds with the weapon dealer. But that was a memory he'd rather forget as he waited for the sin.
There were four of them in the room watching the only door inside. Body armor and high tech weaponry spread among them. The door went red for a brief moment and exploded, they all opened fire, just dumping round after round into the hall. Their guns ran dry and the hallway was filled with smoke and shrapnel. Six shots answered the din of gun fire and after it was all done but Lyn was left standing and his weapon was rendered inoperable. The one eyed assassin emerged his robotic eye surveying the damage.
"Kill me." Lyn did not want a speech from this stone faced killer.
"Not my choice." The man withdrew a communication device and the emperor in his naked glory was suddenly in the room.
"Vitor Lyn, I see my assassin reached you, I guess he's slightly better than yours."
"MINE SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU!"
"Either way Vitor, I just wanted to let you know I beat you, Mr. Dubois if you please." Dubois fired two more bullets and Vitor was dead, his exploded head laid amongst his men.
"The empire will cover my expenses."
"As always Mr. Dubois we pay our debts and thank you for your service."
"There is one thing else Emperor."
"And that is?" The emperor was slightly annoyed with Dubois, he did not expect this man of little words to speak so much.
"A matter about a lieutenant Lorentino..."
