Kent didn't ask for the Midnight Shadows to meet him simply to tell them he is back. He came with a mission in mind, and now that he has their attention, he has decided to reveal the details.
"The reason I asked you here is to tell you all I am back. Yes, I am the Faceless Assassin, or at least I used to be. And yes, I am also Kent Madson—not that anyone will believe you if you tell them. But keep it a secret for your own safety.
I revealed my identity only to help you. One day, when you find yourself in trouble, there is a chance my name will come in handy. I happen to have some powerful friends out there," he smiled, and so did the Midnight Shadows.
Kent knew that in order to keep his Midnight Shadows safe, he had to make sure he had a handle on everything. If he were to hide who he is from them, they wouldn't know who to go to if they couldn't find their way back home.
