A bloody, stabbed patient was rushed into the emergency room Early this morning. She and some surgeons rush into the emergency room to save a life.
"It is not too much of a hassle to wait. The pretty boy had a tale to tell. At this young age, people were seeking to terminate his life."
She walked to the cushion and sat comfortably, as the elegant girl she is. The other eleven assassin maidens found a suitable place to sit. There was not much to be done in her territory. She can't make waves until she separates herself and her territory from the Seagull Continent, which belongs to the Leah family.
She had no bounds with this family, which she was told gave her their partial bloodline. She can't just vibe with them. They look close, yet so far. There is no lingering attachment of any kind. She will also pick up a job that requires the assassination of the said family, who claim to own a portion of her bloodline.
"How is the Leah family doing these days? I heard they sent their Raven to spy on my territory. It was too generous of them. I am having difficulties gauging what they want to achieve. This is just a broken territory that was rejected by them. Their meddling is over the top. My territory and I deserved a rest. Sixth maiden, keep an eye on them. I want to know every single thing they do. The record of their bathroom businesses should be stipulated too. Don't miss a single detail. We are slowly approaching our plans."
"Yes, my lady." A soft, calm, and collected voice replied to Joyce. She proceeded to pick up her tablet and circle some photos. She raised their threat level to the maximum.
Far east of the Phantom City, in a secret underground. A fully operational defense organization had received the highest message to keep an eye on some targets. They are to find out everything they do or did in Phantom City.
Having received such an order, they seriously placed those figures highlighted in the sent files on the critical threat level. To be strictly monitored always.
"It's done, my lady. They are under constant surveillance."
"Good! I will keep the pretty boy company for a while. I have nothing to do at the mansion, and my city upgrades are limited by the Leah family. Perhaps I will accompany him while surfing the net. You girls are free to do your stuff. We are out of commission for now. In short, I have decided... When the pretty boy wakes up, we will take a chill break and book three months of holiday." Joyce declared this to the girls.
"Seriously! Holiday at last." The seventh assassin maiden said it with a broad grin plastered on her beautiful face.
"I am considering kidnapping all the pretty boys who look like him. We will pretty much have a lot of holidays on our hands." The first assassin maiden was deep in her thoughts.
"I am in support."
"+1, I am in support."
"+2, I am in support."...
Surprisedly, the whole assassin maiden is in support of such a devilish plan. Only one person can think of such a sinister method—the head maiden. Joyce's mouth was wide ajar. She was staring at her girls as if they were strangers.
She flinched as if jolted by electricity. It was a ruthless wake-up call. She sneered at her girls' thoughts and said to them, "Do you think any boy can move the mummy? Why don't you try? I will leave reality to give you girls a dirty slap."
"Cheap mummy?!"
"Stingy to herself and the people around her."...
Heart-wrecking complaints kept flying at her face. Joyce did not bother at all. She focused on her tablet and ignored the girls.
After a while, the girls knew she had put on her stone heart. Anything thrown at Joyce will absolutely be a waste of time.
They all sat around Gary, half listening to the medical machine sound out his heartbeats and surfing the net.
To be on point, they were watching gossip, fashion news, slay queens slaying social media, comedy kits, and others.
Joyce, on her cushion, was surfing all the breaking news. She has to keep up with time while searching for potential partners. As she surf deeper, she came across an eye-catching headline: 'The Mysterious Lady of Saphila South Region'.
'Mysterious Lady!!!' She was quite interested in such a lady. She read through the article and found out that the mysterious lady had really piqued her interest. She was single-handedly battling against menaces, pests, corruption, and many more plaguing her newly inherited region.
Yet she didn't back down but stood for her philosophy. This is the type of lady she enjoys befriending. She would have to send one of her maidens to Saphila. Whoever it is will figure out ways to get close to this mysterious lady. Their ultimate goal is to be friends with her.
The mysterious lady is worth having as a friend. They might retreat to her territory if all plans were futile here. She doesn't mind. Giving up Phantom City. After all, she is not giving up her subordinate. She was only giving up the land.
With her subordinates, she can rebuild Phantom City at Saphila. Well, that's if she was backed into the corner. She would have loved to keep this huge island. It is easier to defend and harder to attack. Plus, there are rich resources buried within the land.
Leaving her home, which she had ever known for another home feels somehow. As if she is not at home, even though the new home is more comfortable and lavishly built. Summarizing everything, it will take her time to get attached to such a place unless the rate at which she experiences joy is greater than the rate at which she misses this island.
The territory is under renovation and evolution. There won't be much of it for now. She will schedule a holiday in the near future when the territory is taking Blue Planet by storm. What if she bought some of the companies over there and grew with the city? Exactly what she will do. This should be considered leaving a life line, right?
She faced the third assassin maiden. She is what we call intellectual beauty—the perfect C.E.O. Ah! That favourite genius bespectacled young boss. Who is jovial and smiles at all her subordinates. The beautiful boss who always turns around hard deals and gets the contracts given or signed because she smiles at the troublemaker.
We are all aware they are various supermodels with athletic shapes. When they politely sit, men and women worship.
She is that type. She is busty on both sides, but her back has more assets. A smooth white legs that are great with leggings, especially black leggings. The oval face, straight nose, and dentally pure white teeth which fit the small lip. They are the perfect match for a perfect smile. A blue Irish and a white hair. All those were crafted in a single maiden. Too unfair.
"Aurora..."
Oh! Yes, she has a beautiful name, too. Aurora Brooke of the fallen Brooke's household. Just like in every civilization, some rise while others fall. They fell so hard that they couldn't stand up again.
