Levi frowned as the darkness of night crept across the city and the skylights burned brightly like beacons. Night has arisen and with it, the evil intentions arose.

Levi was currently in the city of Shiganshina, or to be more precise, waiting. He had received orders the day prior to meet a man on the top of one of the largest incline buildings which is also widely known for housing a restaurant.

This is where Levi found himself waiting when the man appeared before him, suit immaculate and shoes shined to perfection.

"Ah, Levi. You came," he said with a small smile as he sat down on the remaining open seat, although they both knew it wasn't an invitation Levi could simply refuse.

It only took one glance for Levi to easily spot the bodyguards surrounding the perimeter of the restaurant, and Levi wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it turned out that every worker and customer in that very room was one of the man's subordinates.

A woman had then appeared to take his order, but the man had simply waved her off with a small smile and a whisper that he would simply take a bottle of French wine, Domaine de la Romanee – Conti, to be precise. Levi narrowed his eyes and sniffed with disdain as the man continued to poor himself a small glass, and when offered some by the said man, had immediately declined.

Although the man always had a habit of smiling at you seconds before he destroyed your life, Levi felt no need for such formality and instead leaned back in his chair with a harsh glare aimed towards the mob boss.

"What do you want Erwin? I just finished your last assignment a few days ago, and I'm not in the mood for another," Levi spoke harshly although this only seemed to amuse Erwin as the said man let out a chortled laugh.

"Oh, I think you'll quite enjoy this one," Erwin spoke calmly while holding out a file towards Levi in a somewhat friendly gesture. "Let's just say the price can be compromised."

Levi glanced wearily at the folder knowing fully well that opening it could lead to information that would, and could, quite possibly kill him in the future. But then there was also the prospect of money. With a resigned look on his face and a deep sigh of annoyance, Levi took the folder form Erwin just as the man let out a smirk.

Levi then proceeded to flip through the files before placing the files back onto the table with a look of befuddlement and a slight edge of anger.

"I'm an assassin," he spoke gruffly with eyes narrowed. "I don't kidnap people, I kill them, and I most certainly do not kidnap annoying brats."

Erwin laughed before speaking in a slightly languid tone as if berating Levi, "Yes, I'm fully aware of that, but wouldn't you want to see your old friend again. It's not everyday that you get to return to see what you've done, seeing as it was you who-"

"Enough!" Levi yelled harshly while slamming his fist on the table. This causing the glass to shake in rhythmic circles as the wine splashed against the sides. "What do you want?! Surely this boy is useless to you."

Erwin was no longer smiling. "Useless? Quite the opposite I'm afraid. You've must of heard of it I presume. Seeing your familiarity with the Yeagers." This caused Levi to scoff in annoyance, but Erwin continued without interruption.

"Yes, I suppose you would seeing as one of your acquaintances is infected by it, but what she has is a copy and thus a weaker strain. What this boy has is something else entirely."

Levi stared at the documents for a long moment, pondering over his next actions before letting out an aggravated sigh. "Fine, I'll do it."
