A Race to Melt Hearts

It was my fault!

If I have listened to the precautions earlier she wouldn't have been shot triple of times. She wouldn't have suffered my enemy's feat. She wouldn't be in this condition right now. I could have saved her, only if I was aware, if only she lets me, but I haven't even brought a weapon with me. That's because I don't usually attend celebrations like this for a longer span of time.

I can only tend to the wounds. I can only sigh in defeat. I can only wait for the doctors to tell me how critical her condition is. I can only wait for her to wake up and take care of her when she's still unconscious. I haven't felt so weak before.

My only option is to clean the mess and let it not bother her anymore.

"Hello boss Yan? It's been a while since you last attended to our business. Do you have a new mission for us? The rest of the guys are bored."

"Eric I want you to trace the movements of every assassin clan in the city, include cities A, B, L and X. I'll need you to check if there are new clans in the area that recruit assassins."

"Boss actually, there's a newly established clan here in the city. They train and recruit people and mold them into high class elite assassins, even their weapons are of 9th grade tier. But…"

"What are the other details that you have found?"

"Boss they do illegal business and are renowned in the black market as they sell those high powered weapons. We dug up most of the hidden information about them that we could find, because we wanted to avoid messing up with their team. And we found out that they work for Ming Empire, which is really impossible since the former young master Ming of the household freed everyone after his take over. They are a hundred times stronger than us boss and we saw their reinforcements were all foreign, it leads to connection from a Russian Mafia and a Japanese (1st class) elite clan."

"Do you have any idea of the master that they were serving?"

"Unfortunately none boss, the clues lead us to dead ends."
