?[1]: Klaus, are you there?
K: Yes, I'm here.
?: What do you see?
K: Abdulrazzak Hassani[2], his brother, and his sons—they're in a meeting.
?: Then may I ask? What exactly are you waiting for to take them down?
K: I'm waiting for them to feel it.
?: What nonsense are you talking about? Feel what?
K: Death.
?: Ridiculous.
K: There's a reason they call me "Wraith," my dear ?.
?: Oh really? And what is that exactly?
K: Those whose sins are unforgivable… always feel me before death comes for them.
?: …..
After Klaus finishes speaking, silence falls over the line.
As Klaus watches them through the scope of his sniper rifle, he notices Abdulrazzak Hassani looking out the window.
Klaus smirks and pulls the trigger. One shot to the head. Abdulrazzak Hassani is now dead. As his body hits the ground, his brother and sons stare in shock, unable to comprehend what just happened.
Klaus wastes no time—he fires consecutive shots, burying everyone there into the dusty pages of history.
K: ?, Abdulrazzak Hassani, Suleiman Hassani, Cabbar Hassani, and Malik Hassani. They are no longer a threat to the world.
?:
K: ? Are you there?
?: Uh… yes. I'm here.
K: Good. Wraith out. See you at home.
?: See you, Klaus. Good work.
