New Life: A Second Chance

Inside a car, two guys were gritting their teeth. The co-driver was on the phone, shouting at the person at the other end, "You said that this was an easy job!!"

Sheng Xian, who was on the other end, took the phone off his ear and looked at it with a frown. How dare this lowly person shout at him? He hired them. He paid them. They were to be respectful to him!

Bringing the phone back to his ear, he hissed, "How hard is it to kill off a housewife? Don't tell me your skills are only that much? Your reputation isn't well deserved then."

"The target isn't the issue," the man shouted, "It's those people with her. They've already taken out three of my men!!"

Sheng Xian laughed, not believing the words. He felt they were just exaggerating so to escape liability for their incompetence.

"So let me get this straight," Sheng Xian said coldly, "That the little woman who has absolutely nothing to her name, or money, actually has friends that are capable not only to protect her from being killed, but also off three of your men?!"

When he said it that way, even the ones who were in the high-speed chase found it ridiculous. But it was the truth! They were experiencing such a surreal moment.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Sheng Xian shouted, standing up as he huffed, "Get rid of them all!"

With that, Sheng Xian hung up the phone.

The guy, having been hung up on, glared at the phone. He looked at the car that they were chasing, that was getting further and further away.

"Are you even driving??!" he shouted at the driver, who then glared at him.

"Are you blind?! I'm already flooring it!!" the driver roared back at him, feeling unjustly accussed.

The guy looked at the speedometer and his eyes popped out.

It was true.

They were already at the maximum speed that the car could handle, and yet, the car in front that looked quite ordinary ... was obviously getting further away. It wasn't just the fact that the driver of the car in front could weave in and out of the traffic easily, but it was actually faster.

"Ah, fuck this," the guy shouted, banging the dashboard, "Let them be."

"Huh?"

"This was not what we signed up for," he growled, "The price is not worth the loss we suffered."

The driver nodded in understanding, slowing down.

They had entered the highway, so he took the first exit out. As he turned, he gave one last look at the car that he had been chasing.

His skill wasn't lower than the driver in front (in his opinion) for he could weave in and out of traffic just as well. It's just that the car in front was fast. Before reaching the highway, there was nothing that was in its path to slow it down. Even the traffic lights that they came across were green! What were the chances of that?

He chalked it down to them being just too damn lucky. Little did they know, that they, too, were extremely lucky. With their decision to stop the chase, their lives were spared.

"They've stopped chasing," Agent Oreo reported as soon as he saw the car behind them take the exit.

Kay nodded and closed her laptop. Hacking into the traffic system had taken her a little bit longer than expected, due to the shaking car and the intensity of the chase. She made a mental note to train hacking under such conditions .

All this while, she had been hacking in the security of the room. It didn't have the same sense of danger. It was only the danger of being caught, but she never had to worry about external factors or her surroundings.

[All's clear. We're heading to the safehouse for Ramona] Kay told Kyle.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

On a train, in a certain part of the country, a young boy was sitting alone in a corner of the train carriage. He was certainly drop-dead gorgeous and many girls wanted to go over to him ... if it wasn't for the fact that he was also pretty scary.

He was actually looking out the window, but there seemed to be this dark aura above him that people would swear that they could see wisps of the Grim Reaper forming above his head. Anyone who was brave enough to even venture close to where he was sitting would feel fear hitting their hearts and a coldness in the air that was unexplainable.

No one dared to get close because of it. In fact, half of the train carriage was empty, with everyone else sitting at the top part of the train carriage, away from the 'Aura of Death'.

The boy was, of course, Kyle.

When Kay had told him about the hit, he didn't think much other than relief for the failed attempt. He didn't blame the ones who were doing the hit as they were just doing their job just like any normal person. He didn't hunt down the two that didn't continue the chase either. Of course, if they had continued, then even though they would have failed in their mission, he wouldn't let them off.

As for Sheng Xian.

Well, that's a completely different story.

Just thinking about him made him even angrier as he thought of the various ways he was going to make Sheng Xian pay.

When Kyle finally reeled in his emotions, he looked around and blinked.

The train carriage was empty.
