After strenuous selection and fierce competition, we had finally made it to the last stage. We left the training grounds where we started and came here. Yet, we still hadn't met the master we had sworn to serve loyally. It had always been Zhao Wu, Brother Wu who trained us with excessive demand and cruelty. A slight deviation from the standards and you would be eliminated, and those who were eliminated, we never saw them again.
We couldn't help speculating that perhaps they were no longer of this world. We had all initially joined because of a hefty commission, and we now regretted it. Maybe this was a place we never should have come to. Even those who only met Zhao Wu and failed the assessments were silenced, which showed just how secretive and mysterious the person who spent a fortune to buy and train us was.
