Chapter 09


A sound makes me stand still and with great care I turn around to see the hooded man just a few feet away from me. Under the lights I could see blood trickling down his forehead . With heart in my throat I gulp loudly as I hug the kitten close to my chest.I start to shut my wet teary eyes ready to embrace death while I stifle a scream as the hooded man grins maniacally at me. I'm tired of running away and I feel like my past has caught up to me as he demands to know the location of Alex. 

The street lamp suddenly flickers out and I'm left alone in the pitch black darkness.back I feel a a heavy object fall on my head as my eyes started to close. I wake up to find myself tied to a tree by ropes. The knot of the rope is not the work of a rookies since I can't find myself untying myself easily anytime soon. The poor kitty is high up on the tree mewing in fright for help. A masked man peers at me and breathes into my face demanding for the location of Alex. Seeing the tattoo branded on his neck I recognise him as a fighter from House Beta. They're handy in their work but eh mere noobs next to me. Apparently his boss is in fury over his missing kid and is now after Alex years later. I find it super weird as I've left Alex for more than three years and why would Alex even have Beta's heir when the only youngest duo was me and Robin.  

 As I stay silent he slaps my face and turns around in frustration giving me enough time to untie myself and point my revlover at him . He turns around as I smirk at him . I then feel a cold metal being placed on my head and I gulp upon seeing the devillish grin on the attackers face as he pulls down his mask. My heart starts to beat fast as I realise that I'm kinda rusted from my skills now. I know I have the ability to knock this man down in one blow but at the same time I still wanna follow my path of inner peace.

 Call me stupid cos hey this could literally mean by death but I'm hoping for a miracle of some sort. Clearly I'm not gonna die since he seems verye ager for information I dont hold. Being the most sought employee as the youngest most powerful assasin I'm a well known figure in the underground. It's a pretty neat title to brag about and hey I'm loaded thanks to that. I've barely done anything on my research for revenge so there's no way I'm gonna die now. I won't fight back so I shall bare the impending pain for now. I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I wait for the gates of hell open to me . I await the blow which never comes . With a bang the man in front of me falls down dead.
