@ItchyLongThing "Bruh I hate it when MCs bring out evidence out of thin air. When the fk was that recorded and where in the world did they get the phone"
An assassin is coming to kill you and you don't take his cell phone and his papers, I think you are ..., it is obvious that this is where you have to look to verify the information that the killer told you and by the way prove your innocence if you find yourself accused
And it is obvious that the author will not show us that, otherwise he does not know how to write a story (build up tension, ...)
They could never have been caught doing harm, it is normal to want to have audio proof
It is also very likely that he is bluffing at the end.
and I think he recorded it, because he felt the assassin coming and his friends had warned him about this guild
