Hearing Ben mock her, Alice immediately fell silent. She was looking for a way to silence Ben's pliable mouth.
"I think I noticed your tummy is a little crooked, haven't we, Ben? Do we need some more running practice?"
The two sentences that came from Alice instantly made Ben speechless.
Ben immediately remembered the training routine they always did at their Boss's orders, in case the three of them looked too overweight.
Their boss would watch them run by firing a soundproof rifle at their feet to make them run faster. And remembering that made Ben's face turn pale.
"No need, Boss. My stomach looks big because I haven't pooped in a few days, hehe!" Ben tried to dodge. He didn't want to laugh at his boss who didn't seem to be in a good mood anymore.
"But I think, I remember that nuisance bee you're referring to, Boss. The man you saved back then, right? And so we got sent to Texas!" Ben turned the conversation back to the topic Alice was referring to.
"Yeah, he is. And you know what, Ben? In the next few days, I'll actually have to be in touch with him because of work. Oh, God! My head feels like it's going to explode. Why have I been so unlucky these past few days I feel like I'm going home to Daddy's over there now!" Alice could be heard gasping for air.
Of course, Alice was tired. Herself who wants to take revenge on her family must be bothered by her interactions with Sean, the handsome but crazy CEO, who repeatedly continues to tease her.
And now there's Nathael. The man who always pursued and wanted her to be his lover when Alice was in her final year of graduation.
Alice slipped into her thoughts. She recalled her first encounter with Nael.
The city of Fresno, California about a year ago…
Fresno is the sixth-largest city in California. It is the largest city in the Central Valley region of California. Fresno has a famous public university, namely California State University which is located on the north side of Shaw Avenue. It was there that Alice spent her time adding academic knowledge as she wished.
While studying as a normal student at the university, Alice is able to disguise her identity as a mafia, who a few years earlier officially became Black Jack's adopted son.
No one knows, a hit woman skilled in shooting, camouflaged as a beautiful girl as well as an accomplished student in the arts.
That afternoon, Alice was tasked with kidnapping and killing the only child of the boss of a guitar-making company from Singapore, which was a competitor to Black Dragon's client business. That child was none other than Nathael Verlon.
Rose was chosen by Black Jack because it was considered this assassination mission very well suited to Rose's skillful shooting skills.
To kill a rich young man, and it didn't take a lot of people, Rose was enough to work and all was safe without any fuss.
That night Rose from the top of the building which has a height of about fifty floors, which from her current position was getting a shot at a pedestrian who was about to cross the zebra cross.
The young man was still waiting for the green light for the vehicle.
Rose carefully measured the accuracy of her SVLK-14S Sumrak shot. The sniper rifle made by Lobaev Arms, a Russian arms company, is said to be the longest-range rifle in the world.
This rifle is said to be capable of hitting targets at a distance of four kilometers and capable of penetrating metal as thick as three centimeters.
By braving the dark night over the town of Fresno, in no way did the young woman fear or worry about the wrong target to shoot.
"Three, two, one, and… I got it!" said Rose who was smiling satisfied with her perfect shot. And the second her index finger pulled the trigger, Rose's concentration was shattered, as Nathael sprinted into the middle of the street quickly.
Rose's eyes remained fixed on Nathael who fell down after dodging the impact of a large sand truck, for saving a mother cat who was holding her kitten in her mouth when she was about to cross the road.
The soul of a mobster Rose returns to that of Alice, a poor girl who lost her child in an accident.
Alice's body shook violently, her unstable hand released from the trigger that was ready to fire earlier.
Rose sat up in tears because her motherly instinct was awakened. A mother cat who is carrying her young child, and a kind-hearted young man who is willing to risk his life for the cat.
'What's the difference between me and Dena and those who hurt me, if I killed that man earlier?' that was Alice's heart, which was barely sustaining the guilt.
If she had pulled the trigger, and the young man died, the mother cat and her cubs would have also died because they were hit by a passing truck.
Rose cried thinking that she was not as lucky as the cat, who could be saved from death. Because Dena and Alden are not noble-hearted humans like Nathael.
From that very second, Alice admits that she has failed her mission, and is determined to protect Nathael from the anger of the client who is rejected by Alice. All she knew was that they would hire another hit man to keep Nathael off.
From there, Alice began to approach Nathael, who turned out to be a good and innocent young man. So innocent, that he never knew that his considered natural friendship with Alice, was only to protect him from a murder that threatened his life.
One day when they had just returned from campus. An armored luxury car suddenly crashed into the car Nael was driving, causing the green sports car to be pushed forward uncontrollably.
Alice, who was always stalking Nael. At that time, Alice also drove her sports motorbike to keep up with the speed of the armored car until their positions were parallel.
With her left hand fixed on the motorcycle then. While her right hand holding her favorite beautiful hand gun, she pointed it at the car window, where she could see two well-built men with black glasses.
Bang! Bang!
Twice the sound of the car's windshield shattered with bullets from Alice's soundproof gun. And immediately made the speed of the car they were riding lost balance.
Because of what? Because no one survived after being hit in the head by Black Rose's bullet.
Once again, Alice saved Nathanael's life from death.
Finally, she could not stay silent because she had to always keep an eye on Nael's safety.
So, without her Daddy's approval, Alice kills the root of the problem.
Yeah, Alice killed a client who failed to cooperate with her to kill Nael.
Until it makes her daddy angry and punishes Alice to go to Texas, where the head of the mafia is very highly valued.
Alice wasn't angry or upset at being punished like that. Alice is even happy because she no longer has to keep Nathael safe from people who hate her family.
Sraak!
The curtain between her and Ben opened. Ben could see in his rearview mirror the gloomy look on his boss' face.
"Thankfully he is fine until now after I left. And maybe, God still wants his life to bother me again," she said sadly.
"Ben why is my life this complicated? It's not that I don't want to live a normal life, but what if every time I remember, my hands are covered in the blood of so many people?" this time Alice's eyes turned red as she said that.
"But even if I have to be lonely all my life, at least I'm lucky that you guys are still with me. Isn't that right, Ben?" said Alice with a heavy sigh.
Seen by Ben, Alice leaned her head back with her eyes closed.
"Sleep, Boss! You've worked hard all this time. We are the lucky ones to be able to serve you until now. Thank you, Boss! We will always be with you," Ben said calmly with a small smile watching his boss who seemed to have been late in his sleep.

The half-hour journey was more than enough for Alice to fall asleep for a while.
When the car stopped in front of a fancy restaurant, Alice had prepared with a protective mask on her face.
"This is the place? You're not kidding, are you? In a place as bright as this we want to talk about evil things? You are an idiot! Come on down!" Alice grumbled at Ben who again became the target of Alice's scolding.
