The primary reason that the Assassin's Guild leader had come today was not to arrange a deal with Dominic. They could have done that through an intermediary.
Instead, he wanted to see for himself if the rumours about the Butcher of Wistover were correct.
Sometimes people got a bad reputation for making the difficult choices.
Now that he had spent some time talking to Dominic, it was clear that the reputation was not overblown. He did not arrange the deaths of a crime family for political reasons, or out of fear. He didn't do it out of selfishness or cruelty.
No, he had paid to have them all killed because they annoyed him, and in Dominic's mind such nuisances didn't deserve to continue to live.
That was a sentiment that the Assassin's Guild leader could appreciate.
Getting rid of problems before they became larger problems was common enough. But getting rid of problems simply because you didn't have the patience to deal with them was on a whole other level.
