Chapter 2 - Antagonist

Mo Chou found some leftovers in the kitchen and heated them up. Her mind was filled with the interaction she had with the male lead.

She had just formed a plan on how she was going to avoid the main characters but unfortunately she had stumbled upon the male lead right on the first day.

She had even touched him and called him a brick wall.

But how come she hadn't noticed his presence even when he was right in front of her? Maybe it was because of the new weak body.

She had to urgently train this body to be efficient like her old one. Mo Chou filled her tummy with food until she could not eat another bite.

She then returned to her room. When she saw the sparkly mess called her room, she was stunned. The pillows, the bed-sheets, the cushions, even the mirror were all sparkly with glitter.

She wondered how the original owner slept with those uncomfortable bed sheets in the novel.

Speaking of the novel, it was called 'the pure lily and the sly fox'.

It was a romance novel with a cliche story-line where the rich male lead falls for the poor female lead's pure aura but Mo Chou liked the novel not because of the protagonist but because of its antagonist who is a mafia Don.

She could relate to his past and liked his ruthless character. 'Thank god I don't have anything to do with the villain, I doubt that even my past self could defeat him' thought Mo Chou. 'Fortunately I will be kicked out before the antagonist and protagonist meet each other'.

After searching all over and finally finding decent bed-sheets and pillows covers, Mo Chou finally fell asleep.

The next day Mo Chou woke up and showered after exercising.

She had decided that she would follow her previous route without going on a run since that would be unusual for a villainess.

Even without the run her new body was exhausted after she was finally done. When she opened her closet, there were only short and frilly dresses.

She huffed and searched the whole closet and finally found some denim shorts and t-shirts.

She had just changed when someone knocked on the door. "Come in".

A maid walked in with a food tray and said " The young master ordered me to deliver your food young miss".

"Thank you" replied Mo Chou assuming that the young master was Liu Dai.

The maid looked horrified and stunned at once which confused Mo Chou at first.

'Oops! I forgot that I am the villainess'.

"Cough cough, didn't you hear me? I said get out" Mo Chou said rudely.

The maid looked relieved and scurried out of the room.

'Ugh! Will have to be mean to everyone?' thought Mo Chou ' that would be exhausting'.

Nibbling on some toast she searched her room for a laptop.

After finding one, she turned it on and went straight to access the dark web. After finding the assassin organisation on the dark web Mo Chou directly hacked them as hacking was one of the many skills she acquired while training to be an assassin.

She sent a message to the vice president of the assassin organisation stating that she would like to join them and wanted to be listed as an SSS level assassin.

She then happily finished the rest of her breakfast not caring about the huge bomb she just dropped in.

Assassin organisation headquarters

005 came running into the shareholders meeting " What are you doing here? "asked the vice president.

"We have been hacked " 005 replied in an urgent tone.

"What? Who is it? Who is bold enough to try that?" asked vice president Li.

"We're still working on finding out, you should come with me "replied 005.

"Excuse me gentlemen, we will resume our meeting tomorrow" Vice president Li announced to the shareholders and rushed out of the room.

When he reached the control room, he saw that it was chaotic inside and everyone was surrounding 003 who was working on his computer.

"How did somebody get through the fire walls when we updated our entire system just a week ago? It should have been impossible" said vice president Li.

"I don't know, it shouldn't have been possible.. The person just popped out of nowhere" replied 005.

"Did you find any information about them? " questioned the vice president.

"Nothing, aside from their code name which is 'M' and that this person is new to dark web"replied 005.

"What did they do after hacking? Did they steal any important documents or money?" Vice president Li asked worriedly.

"No, they just left a message for you vice president " 005 replied with an unsure look.

" What does it say? "asked vice president Li. "It says that 'M' wants to join the organisation" 005 replied.

"Ohh,that's good news" said vice president Li. He was relieved and excitedall at once.

"But as an SSS level assassin "005 added.

"What?" exclaimed vice president Li.

"Boss, I couldn't track them," 003 said dejectedly as he turned away from his computer.

"What! Even you couldn't track them?" 005's expression turned serious.

"This person is strong... maybe even stronger than 001" 003 replied.

Everyone took a shocked breath.

"T-tell them they are welcome to the organisation. I will inform the president, "said vice president Li in a shaky voice. "We have to hire them before our rivals do".

" Yes boss, I will leave a message for them instantly. Hopefully, they will be part of our organisation soon" 005 replied with a complicated expression.
