You XiaoMo was known to be a top- class assassin in an underworld organization known as ' Night Clan'. Their motto was
" Fear breeds Pain , betrayal begets blood".
His mission was to assassinate whoever the higher-ups had appointed him to. He could never object nor reject their request. By doing so, he would be punished accordingly and he would have to endure any type of pain they inflicted on him; both physically and mentally, otherwise death. Because the Night Clan has no use for weaklings.
He looked over to the sight of the dead body lying in front of him. He was donned in a black track suit. No blood around, he killed his victim , Clean. As expected of the top assassin. His deep blue eyes were devoid of any emotion, as a few strands of his long, silver white, straight hair swayed. Another innocent life he was forced to take and he could never undo what he did.
" Aren't you tired of living like this? Following their orders and killing people?" A voice in his head spoke out solemnly.
He gave a thoughtful hum before replying apathetically,
" What can I do? I tried running away more than once and they still caught me. I tried to save the life of a seven month old baby boy, as the wish of his late mother. He was a treasure to me, but what happened?! With all my efforts, they still found out and brutally murdered him right in front of me.!!!! If I don't kill this people, they will die a more painful death."
He pulled up his hoodie, covering his head completely, and walked out of the building, leaving no one alive.

Before he got into this line of work ,he vividly remembered staying in an orphanage house. According to the caretakers, he was found in a room after his parents and siblings had been brutally murdered .He always had the dream, to one day avenge their deaths. He was living happily in the orphanage home until one day, assassins invaded, killed the adults and took the kids along with them. He was brought into the world of crime at the age of five ,and that was the first time he took somebody else's life without any mercy . He never had a joyful childhood ever since ,and was forced to grow up quickly.
The organisation had trained and taught him ways to survive, to kill ,to assassinate. He had been through countless pain and sufferings ,just to be where he is now, a top class-assassin.

Fourteen years had passed ,and he had long grown to be apathetic. Whatever pain was inflicted on to him ,had gone numb. He could no longer feel anything. He was no longer afraid of the dark, instead he embraced it.
" Good Work, Xiao'er ! You have finally proven that you are my son. Tonight, we will be hosting a banquet and all the underworld organizations would be present....."
His leader's voice faded into the background as he heard death tunes whispering into his ears.
" I will find you and kill you even after death!!!!"
" You're a demon!!!! How can you murder my children with no mercy!! You aren't human!!!"
" Please spare my son....He is just seven month old, he is innocent!!! please!!"
These voices lived in his consciousness and have been with him ever since he started killing. They were his salvation. They reminded him of every single person he had murdered and the metallic scent of blood would still be on his hands, despite washing them clean. Their constant torment was what kept him alive.
The party began, as people started trooping in. As the music was blasting, everyone was enjoying themselves and happily drinking. Despite being a little tipsy, none of them lowered their guard. They were always careful. That was how all of them had survived , and they never trusted anyone but themselves, not even their blood-relatives.
As they were enjoying themselves, the lights suddenly went out, and only the sound of music remained. Then out of nowhere, gunshots, the sounds of metals, were heard from everywhere and people were returning the fire from one spot to another.
Groans and loud wails could be heard.
When the lights came back on , only one man was left standing on the dance floor donned in a black attire , with a head full of silver white hair that made him stand out, anyone who sees him right now would be astounded and have the urge to protect from the evil of the world. But currently, the man is looking like a devil surrounded with piles of dead bodies all over the place.
He emptied his cup of wine before letting it fall to the floor.
He looked at the wounded man on the floor who was by his feet. He had blood spilling from his forehead and his legs were covered in ten gun wounds . He was immobile and would probably never be able to use his legs again.
He looked up to him with the spiteful expression , "You..... how could you do this to me?! how could you do this to us?! after everything I've done for you?!"
His face darkened and his eyes stared at him coldly , "well ,well, well... You wouldn't have dreamed of this day ,would you? I never wanted to be part of this. I wanted to get out ,but you forced me to stay .I have had enough .You can't continue to control me, and decide things for me .I'm not a doll. You took everything away from me and now I'm taking yours. This is your karma. I am the last child or maybe not if you hadn't murdered my family, of the president of Cortex Enterprises'.You killed my family, that was not enough to satiate your thirst for blood. You killed the ones who brought me up at the orphanage . You see..... what goes around, comes around."
Realization dawned upon him . He scoffed, " I should have killed you.!!! There are backups coming in any second now.! What makes you think you can leave here?!!! "
"Yes .You should have killed me, but you didn't and that was your biggest mistake. You , raised me into a monster ,a demon. Regretfully, no backups are coming . They are going to live a normal life from now on. The only people who would come here are the police and firefighters."
Taking out a pocketknife, he slit the leader's wrist. You XiaoMo watched as he howled in pain with his lifeless eyes, " Do you feel your life slowly slipping away? That's how I felt every time I killed those people. Today you made me realise my dream of avenging my family. You could have died a less painful death , but killing that baby I tried to protect was the last straw . Who said anything about living? I have committed sins that are unforgivable ,and there's no way I can continue to live with the blood on my hands. hahahahahahaha.... now I can be at peace."
He brought up his right hand, and in it was a detonator device .He had planted the bomb weeks ago , when he had made a decision. In order to be free, he needed to clean up the mess and hope that in the future ,children would not be kidnapped to do dirty works of these underworld organisations.
His eyes widened in fear as he realised that You XiaoMo was serious .He tried to move, but couldn't as his life slowly slipped out of him .
" My only regret was not being able to protect him, my treasure . Goodbye, Si Feng . See you in hell ."
With that said he pressed the button without a second thought and within an instant, the whole building collapsed as the large flames engulfed everything , and everyone in it . The sound of the explosion going out was so loud that it reached miles away. It immediately caught the attention of people .Five firetrucks , and twelve police cars horridly arrived , as they extinguished the flames. They could only find numerous corpses that have been burnt into ashes, and a USB drive containing all the underworld organizations information. The corpses couldn't be recognized.
