A female voice can heard from the cloaked figure as she turns to face the Li-ming.
????: Isendra could have done better this.
The assassin says as the ice that is holding her breaks apart when she tries to move.
Li-ming: I knew it! You’re the one!
Li-ming is about to cast another spell but Shang stops her by a hand gesture.
Shang: Don’t bother trying it again. If she wants to kill you, you will be silenced before you can even speak.
Assassin: Looks like Deckard has taught you well.
Shang: Thank you but I don’t think you should have show up.
Shang says while he has a knife in one of his hands.
Assassin: Oh, I don’t remember we have any conflicts with Horadrim.
The female assassin does not make any move when she sees Shang’s knife.
Shang: I wonder why Isendra’s death has no effect on you? Did Viz-Jaq'taar manage to turn you into a living weapon?
Assassin: The order has nothing to do with this. We are given orders and we follow them.
Shang: Even if it involves killing a fellow companion?
Assassin: Yes, even if it involves killing a fellow companion.

Shang: Then you should leave.
Shang points his knife to the exit where the group have entered from.
Assassin: A piece of advice. Interfering with the affairs of the Mage Clans will do you no good.
The female assassin walks slowly to the exit.
Shang: What if demon hunters learn the disappearance of Natalya had to do with you lot?
Natalya was once an assassin of Khral-Harzhek which later becomes Viz-Jaq'taar before she joins the demon hunters. Shang does not think that Natalya could leave Viz-Jaq'taar without paying any price which most assassins did to cut off their connections.
Assassin stops in her tracks when she hears that.
Assassin: You would not dare…
Shang: Try me…
Shang points his knife at himself.
There is a short silence between the Shang and the Assassin.
Assassin: Hmph…
The female assassin disappears into the shadows.
Valla: Did Viz-Jaq'taar has something to do with Natalya’s disappearance?
Valla asks when she hears the conversation.
Shang: I can only say the chances are not that low.
Valla: So it was a empty threat? You must be mad. No one dares to do that.
Shang: What else can I do? Let them kill anyone who becomes a threat?
Shang turns to look at Li-ming who is clenching her staff as she could not do anything when Shang handles the assassin.
Shang then takes out a Horadric device and brings it closer to Li-ming.
The Horadric device grows brighter as it is held closer.
Valla: What is that?
Shang: A device for detecting Nephalems.
Li-ming is deep in her thoughts when the device is brought closer to her. She then notices it when the bright light of the device distracts her.
Li-ming: Take it away, it is hurting my eyes.
Shang: Oops, sorry.
Valla:The result?
Shang: I can confirm she is one of us.
Li-ming: What do you mean one of us? What is that device?
Shang: it will be a long story. Care to come along while listening?
