"Remember, this can't go wrong." Mou gave a dark look to every single one of his men in front of him.
Hill and his small team watched on. He noticed that throughout the small amount of time he spent with the men that they are extremely interesting people. It was no question as to why his Miss had given the order to give them small amounts of help.
"Are the bombs planted?" Mou asked on his side.
"They are, we made sure they will reach the designated target." Nio responded with a much darker tone then he was known for.
Mou nodded as he turned his attention to the group from the Bei family. "Don't worry about us, as we guarantee our skills believe we can do it." Hill gave a wry smile as he placed his mask over his face. His unit prepared themselves and then shifted into the darkness of the shadows.
Chris looked on with calm eyes. He attempted to study a group of people carefully... All he could learn was how difficult their techniques were. Also, how much hard work was required to learn them.

Kiera sat late at night in her room. She was painting her nails the favorite color of one of her patrons. She had a pleased look on her face as her computer received a notification.
She looked up and looked immensely pleased. Her business deals were going well and her patrons were paying well... She would need to reward Loum when he was next free.
She then heard a knock on her door. "Madam, the Old Master would like to see you." Kiera's maid announced through the door.
Kiera frowned as she had an idea of what the conversation would entail. "Alright." She quickly stood up and walked through the mansion to her father.
"Ah Kiera, I've allowed the young miss of the Cher family to marry that bastard... I hope that the preparations will be done for a week." Father Ku seemed to be in a bad mood, his voice was extremely stern and not willing to budge.
Kiera noticed this immediately, while she was enraged that the bastard would be marrying into a decent family... It also gave her some ideas...
"You're planning to give the Cher family over to Yuon?" She asked, seemingly reading her father's plan.
Father Ku nodded. "Mmm, it will only be a benefit of our family. Yuon has the skills to use the bastard to good use." Father Ku gave a succinct answer.
Kiera noticed that her father was still in a terrible mood... 'He must have delt with the Cher family's head then.' She guessed as she looked at Housekeeper We on the side.
"I understand father. I will start to prepare and inform everyone. If that bastard is still missing by the time of the marriage what should we do?" Kiera asked as she smiled.
Father Ku didn't change expression at all. "Who said the marriage would be known to others? Even if the bastard doesn't show up just make sure it is a legally binding marriage, when he shows up next time things will be learned then." Father Ku gave his order as he waved away Housekeeper We.
Kiera nodded. "I understand, have a good night." She walked away with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Miss..." 'Are you okay?' Di wanted to ask so badly, but she already knew the answer she would receive.
Stella came back to the apartment after eating with Emily and went straight into the shower. Furiously cleaning her entire body. Despite having no contact with anyone today, she couldn't stand the filth...
Stella froze as she noticed what she was doing... She lightly chuckled. Causing Di outside to worry if her Miss was going crazy or something...
"Just ready the report." Stella gave an order with a dark tone, she wondered if she really was going crazy. At this rate, she wouldn't be able to keep her disguise up.
Her entire arm was red from her wiping it continuously, her entire body was becoming paler by the day. She also realized how little alcohol she could consume by this point. She used to have such insane tolerance which wasn't normal. But now it was becoming obvious in Di's eyes that something was wrong. She did know Stella extremely well and Stella could read the emotions in her eyes.
Stella started to cough in her arm. Making sure not a single noise escaped her mouth. As she spat up blood she then smiled as she once again wiped her arm. "Well done, I've been beaten before you expected." She stated aloud, as a crazy chuckle followed.
Stella walked out of her shower and sat down. Di walked in with some papers, ready to be read by her.
"Mou has already destroyed the entire site. Hill reports that he was impressed with the plan he used, he complimented his leadership. He took keen note of Nio and Cerim in the fight and aftermath respectively. Nio had incredible gun skills and knowledge of explosives. While Cerim... He saw that Cerim's torture techniques were extremely effective." Di read aloud to Stella as she sipped on some whiskey.
Stella didn't seem to be paying much attention at all. Her gaze noticed on her glass of whiskey and savoring the taste.
"Your marriage was set up by the Fude family, they are planning to make you groom of the Cher family Miss even if you don't attend. They plan to use you to increase Yuon's influence." Di continued to give her report, despite knowing her Miss wasn't paying attention.
Stella gave a cruel smile at the mention of her being set up in a marriage. "Really? Him? Use me?" Stella's anger was immediately sent to the center.
Di secretly smiled. She hadn't seen her Miss get generally angry at anything for a while now. She knew how much her Miss despised getting used by people, she hoped that it would give her Miss some much-needed drive to do what she does best.
Stella started to chuckle. "That's interesting... Really interesting." Stella muttered as her eyes darkened considerably.
Di then regretted telling her Miss that... The bloodlust was making her shake from fear now...
"U-uh Miss... What should I order?" Di asked carefully, trying to not cause an entire family's downfall from her reports.
Stella downed the rest of her whiskey, "Make sure the Cher Miss is unhappy, also start to destroy Zou's reputation. Get a confession from that manager." Stella started to list off her orders...
"Oh... While you are at it. Make sure to start creating pressure on Ryan and Kiera. They won't live happily from now on." Stella's blue eyes darkened, as her slightly pale face started to make her look especially enchanting...
Di had started to notice Stella's pale skin. She had put it to her not getting enough sun... But now she was becoming captivated despite being straight! 'Damn! I can't think like this about Miss.' She reprimanded herself inwardly.
"I understand." Di gave a curt response as she turned to walk away.
Stella's entire aura changed, her eyebrows rose as she turned to face Di. "Go sort out your sexual tension. While I don't personally mind I don't think you could live with that."
"..." Di left completely humiliated and with a crimson face. Completely forgetting about Stella's pale skin and slightly sickly look.
Stella leaned in her bed and lightly coughed. "Damn, too observant." She sometimes felt having too intelligent of people by her side was a hindrance to her...
