The freezing winter wind blew across the window. The temperature had been going down gradually. Despite being close to the sea, A City was getting dry, and cold.
There was not a single star seen in the sky on this silent and dark night. The moon had been hidden away under the thick clouds, leaving only a faint glowing circle behind.
It was exceptionally quiet in the villa as silent footsteps approached towards her room.
Being an assassin for years, Lu was extremely sensitive. Without any hesitation, she grasped the arm that reached for her. She tichetened her fingers and aimed straight for the man's throat, all within the blink of an eye.
Less than one second later, this man would become one of the numerous people she had killed.
"Lu, it is me!"
The scream ripped through the night, echoing over the quiet villa.
Lu's fingers had moved too fast for her to withdraw, so she struck the man instead of killing him.
