The Assassin's Enemy Lover

He took two brown vials and said, “If you see him first use this poison on him. Lace it in your bullets or dagger. Even if he is injured he will die instantly. Lynn Feng will be turning the power off in a minute so make use of your night vision.”

Zi Han said so much but Raya didn’t say anything. He had been briefed on how this was going to go down already. Since this was his first solo task he knew he would have a senior accompanying him.

What he didn’t realise was that that senior would turn out to be their leader’s son. He would be lying if said he wasn’t excited. Just like Zi Xingxi, Zi Han was equally as impressive and ruthless.

Zi Han drew his weapon and attached the silencer before asking, “Are you ready?”

Raya smiled but because he was wearing a mask like Zi Han’s no one could see how bright it was.

“Yes,” he replied and Zi Han took the lead. Following the map floating in front of his mask, he waved his hand and made a silent gesture.

The two of them pressed their backs against the wall and as soon the person coming from the room next to them exited, Raya choked the man strangling him to death before opening the room door again and tossing his body inside.

“Looking good boys,” said Lynn Feng as she watched them passing through the cameras she was controlling.

.....

Zi Han looked up at the camera and raised his hands above his head forming a heart shape.

Lynn Feng chuckled while Zi Xingxi reprimanded him. “Stop messing around and pay attention,” she said with her fingers resting on her chin.

“Maybe I should have gone with him,” she said after muting the communication device.

“So you can be a third wheel? Sooner or later he will be taking solo missions so stop butting in,” said Zi Feiji.

Zi Xingxi knew he was right but she couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Meanwhile, Secretary K who was in the building across with a sniper rifle spoke to Lynn Feng asking, “How about me?”

Lynn Feng zoomed in on Viking’s location and replied absentmindedly, “What about you?”

“Don’t I look good too?” asked Secretary K.

Lynn Feng, “...”

“Why is it always a competition with you? You are constantly looking for praise,” said Lynn Feng.

Zi Han who had just pulled the trigger shooting a guard who was harassing a young girl chuckled and while whispering, “Aiyo and here I thought auntie Lynn was the love expert.”

Lynn Feng, “...”

The girl screamed when the man’s body tumbled on top of her. Her face turned ghastly white with fright as the blood from the man began to seep down into her mouth.

Raya injected her with something and she instantly passed out. Zi Han pulled the big man off the girl before moving on.

They managed to eliminate three more men before reaching Viking’s location. The man was inside his indoor pool with a young woman serving him with her mouth.

Just when he was about to shoot his load in her mouth the cold chill of the weapon touched his temple making him tremble involuntarily.

He seemed unfazed as he said in a croaky voice, “Let me finish first.”

Zi Han smirked slyly before the quirk at the corner of his lips fell. He raised his hand and bam, he struck the man’s temple.

Viking fell over the pool chair causing the topless woman to fall to the ground as she screamed.

She seemed to have sprained her ankle or something because he was holding it with her eyes turning. Raya instinctively moved to help her but Zi Han pointed the muzzle towards her and smiled.

Viking saw this and slight panic flashed in his eyes. However fleeting it was, Zi Han saw it. Viking got up in his naked glory with his meat stick dangling for all to see and said, “You are here for me aren’t you?” he said his ascent that of slums of district ten in the neighbourhood Zi Han grew up.

“The Bloodgarde and I had a deal. I provide cheaper medical supplies to the slums and pay five per cent of my profits to the orphanages now you want to break the deal and kill me?” said Viking trying to take a discreet step and shield the young woman.

Zi Han shrugged his shoulder before saying, “But the deal didn’t involve human cargo and all that changed when you,” while slowly turning his weapon towards her again, “took in the queen Jezebel over here. You broke the code the moment you took her in after we brought down her operations and put a bounty on her head. Not only that but you took on her blueprint and allowed her to regrow her empire under your organization.”

Raya, who didn’t get briefed on this information was a little surprised. He was beginning to think that maybe Zi Han had made a mistake. That young woman looked pitiful and scared.

The young woman got up pulled out the moon-shaped hairpin from her hair that was half tied up and touched the back of Viking’s neck with a delicate finger.

As she did this, the weak appearance she had on vanished as she gazed at Zi Han with a burning gaze. She kissed the side of the Viking’s neck her eyes staring deep into Zi Han’s soul.

Raya finally saw it and he was a little stunned. If it had been him alone on this mission he might have been fooled.

The so-called Jezebel suddenly stabbed into Viking’s neck with that hairpin and Zi Han did nothing to stop her. The man’s eyes widened in shock as the blood flowed down his shoulder and naked chest.

The young woman tilted his head up with the tips of her fingers while whispering into his ear, “Your usefulness has expired.” She kissed his cheek tenderly like she was so broken-hearted about it but her fiery gaze never left Zi Han.

She kicked him into the pool with a loud splash. The clear blue pool suddenly had clouds of deep red floating slowly once the water had settled slightly.

“I was a victim. Look at my scars,” she said spreading her arms apart to show deep and shallow scars inflicted on her body like she had survived tremendous torture.

Zi Han couldn’t even sympathize with her. The worst criminal is a victim that turns around and victimises others.

“Wait, how did he know that the queen of hearts was there?” asked Zi Xingxi a little surprised. She began to sift through all the files but there was nothing. What she didn’t realise was that Zi Han had been going through all their archives and learning about every person they had dealt with from the rat in the sewers to the dragon soaring high in the sky. He knew it all.
