Although his skills are A-level, for some reason he is C-level, he is interesting for his unusual appearance of carrying out his work with shoes in his hands rather than a weapon. causes Here, a still of the killers sitting around a tavern having a get-together is no different from any other after-work gathering of office workers, showing another fun point that viewers can look forward to.
