Early the next morning, Mountain Eagle and his crew drove away from the villa, and soon he realized, after making several rounds in Moscow, they were back near Red Square.
Watching Sofia instruct the van to enter a parking lot, she then asked Mountain Eagle to follow her alone towards the restaurant opposite the Four Seasons Hotel.
Mountain Eagle exchanged a glance with Butcher, signaling for the rest to stay behind, then he quickly followed Sofia, and somewhat incredulously asked, "Is this the 'key restaurant' you mentioned?"
Sofia nodded slightly and said, "This restaurant was opened by an old friend of my grandfather's. Ten years ago, it was on the verge of closure, and I funded it so he could continue operations.
Every Assassin who takes a job comes here to order a special meal, then they receive a contract and a deposit.
I'm not actually safeguarding against anyone, I'm using the downtown restaurant to pay commissions, which is friendlier to those Assassins."
