Rebirth: An Assassin's Revenge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luna carried a sling bag and explored the street that was selling street food.

While this was an area for the poor people, the food was quite good.

The only problem with this place was it was too anarchic.

There was rubbish on the ground everywhere, and there were some men in singlets and shorts who were already drunk even though it was only midday.

She thought that she wouldn’t attract so much attention, but in a place like this, she still caught the attention of many people.

Even an old woman who was selling churros asked her, “You’re not from here, are you? Looking for someone?”

Luna shook her head and said, “Nope. Just exploring. The food here is pretty good!”

“True, we’ve been doing this for a long time.” After the old woman finished frying a churro, she then wrapped it and handed it to her. 

“Little girl, don’t go any deeper. It’s quite disorderly here. You should go home!”

Luna glanced into the deeper part of the alley and said, “It’s alright!”

“There are many addicts and some gangsters inside,” the old woman said to her in a low voice after she approached her. “They can do anything just for money. Little girl, don’t come here again from now on.”

It would be a shame if such a pure little girl were desecrated by the people inside or got addicted to something.

Luna smiled at her and said, “Thanks.”

When the old woman saw her response, she thought that she had listened to her, and she heaved out a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, she instead saw Luna quickly go deeper into the alley.

The old woman let out a sigh. “Seriously, kids these days…”

Luna took a bite of the churro and looked at the old buildings to the left and right. She felt like she was back in time and relieved her moments that had happened a long, long time ago.

In her previous life, she had also lived in such a slum when she was still in her childhood. Her father was very irresponsible. He left not long after she was born.

There was no news about him at all. No one knew if he was alive or dead.

Growing up in an environment like that made her extremely tough because she had seen too much darkness, and filth.

After her mother’s passing because they were too poor to give her proper treatment, she became stronger than anyone else.

She had worked diligently and studied hard. She could survive through any hardship.

She originally thought that she would live an ordinary life. However, she didn’t expect to meet her master.

She was the one that led her out of the dark cage and became able to embrace the light.

While the light was soaked in endless blood, it still gave her hope to continue living.

Now that she was reborn and seeing the same scenes again, she felt like she had returned to when she was younger.

She wondered if there would be children just like her here?

“Yo? Where did you come from? You look so pretty.”

“Whose new girl is this? Tsk tsk~”

“She’s no hooker, so stop saying that. You can clearly see she’s a student.”

The voices around her slowly pulled her back to reality. Her eyes scanned everyone around her.

She didn’t see children like her. But there were plenty of gangsters that looked like perverts here!

Luckily, she had brought her jackknives along this time.

With one finger in her pocket, and another holding her churro, Luna stopped in the middle of the street. She turned around and asked the bald man, “Excuse me, where’s the Top Arcade?”

When the bald man saw her smooth and fair face, he couldn’t help but soften his usually gruff manner and said, “Just go straight and turn left.”

Luna nodded and said, “Thanks.”

She ignored the voices behind her. After a short while, she appeared at the door of Top Arcade.

She wondered if Dyson Suth would be here, especially when someone as notorious as him had already gained some reputation. Would he still be in a dark corner like this?

He should be like Rick and move to Golden Paradise.

He pushed the door and entered the arcade. The smell of smoke was so heavy here she almost stumbled.

The shouts and sounds of the video game arcade filled this place. Although she didn’t want to play, she still exchanged a hundred worth of coins as insurance.

She looked for a place where there were plenty of people and sat down.

The people who were playing around her couldn’t help but give her a look. But after giving her one look, they wanted to give her a second look, a third look, and even more looks.

Luna didn’t pay them any attention and quickly pressed the few buttons in front of her.

After a while, she had already lost one-third of the coins in her hands.

“Do you even know how to play, girl? Let me teach you!” A middle-aged man wanted to show her how it was done and even carried his coins over already.

Luna merely glanced at him and said, “No thanks. I’m just here waiting for someone.”

“Do you think she’ll fall for you? You must be dreaming! Ahahaha!” the middle-aged man’s friend immediately laughed at him.

Luna pretended that she didn’t hear it and continued playing.

“D*mn you,” the middle-aged man pulled his coins back. “Oh, speaking of which, have you heard? Someone just died nearby two days ago. I heard he overdosed.”

“Isn’t that normal? A few people die every year in this place.” His friend chuckled and didn’t care much about it.

The middle-aged man then whispered something to his ear, and his friend immediately waved his hand. “Lies. I saw Dyson come here and play yesterday! He probably didn’t come today because he’s held up by something.”

The middle-aged man then said, “I don’t think so. He’s probably too afraid to come here. He’s a VIP! He might have gone into hiding since he didn’t finish what he was told to do!”

Luna continued to smash the buttons. ‘VIP? Who could it be?’

She wanted to eavesdrop more, but the two of them didn’t say anything anymore.

After a while, the two of them stood up and left.

Several young men with dyed hair immediately went over and sat around her. They had been looking at Luna for quite some time. They wouldn’t let this chance pass them by.

“Which school you’re from, girl? I think I’ve seen you around!”

Luna didn’t even look at him and didn’t want to respond to him. What an old technique to pick girls up!

The boy with the dyed hair didn’t mind and continued asking, “Do you have a boyfriend, girl?”

“I do!” Luna didn’t even turn towards him as she continued, “But he ran when he knew I was pregnant. I came here to look for him!”

The boy laughed and said, “That’s nothing! It’s normal for women to have an abortion a few times in their lives. I don’t mind. Let’s be friends!”

Luna’s hand that was pressing the buttons immediately stopped and turned and looked at him. “Really?”

The boy nodded. “Really.”

Luna cracked a smile at him and said, “That’s great! I was diagnosed with Brief Psychotic Disorder! My boyfriend ran away after knowing about it. But since you don’t mind, that’s great! What’s your Facebook name? I’ll add you!”

The moment she said that, the boys around her were immediately shocked. “About that…”

Luna let out a cold smile. You want to pick up a girl with that level of skills?

“You care about it too? Oh well! What a shame!”

Luna pretended to be disappointed and walked away with the box carrying all her coins, leaving the boys behind her watching in shock..
