Chuck couldn't wrap his head around it.

As for yesterday's assassination attempt, he had merely intended to give Kurt a warning, thinking Kurt would take the money and handle things. He never expected such an outcome.

A male Catellonian approached Chuck. "Sir, should we send someone..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture, and Chuck immediately understood.

"No," Chuck said. "If someone dies in Catellon, suspicion will fall on us. Though it's not a big deal, it's troublesome.

"Our preparations are all set, right? Let them investigate first. If they find anything, we can act later!"

He remained calm under pressure. After all, he had seen storms before, and this was nothing.

Moreover, Chuck believed that even if Kurt found something, he could handle it.

Assassination? That was a last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best avoided.
