2 String Covered Assassination

As one of the top international organizations, the Black Rose Organization was known for its powerful experts and assassinations. Located in an island near England, the Black Rose Organization trained hundreds of deadly thread, poison, and needle-users.

Within the Black Rose Organization, Plum was known to be one of the cruelest rising geniuses. Together with her skilled thread manipulation techniques, no target could escape from her entwinement before dying within her control.

During night missions, she would oftentimes lay her thread in bedrooms and the moment the target wakes up to stretch in the morning, the threads would slice the target into hundreds of pieces.

While this method was pretty much like signing her name right next to the victim for the police to see, Plum did not care. No one was willing to mess with the Black Rose Organization, so her crimes were often overlooked by the authorities.

After all, no one knew whether or not they were going to be her next target.

Once Plum finished scavenging the area for traps, cameras, or alarm systems, she nonchalantly walked toward the bed.

Every step she made was filled with confidence as her clothing, no matter how black, could not conceal the seductiveness of her well-toned body. With her years of training, there was no way for an average man to be able to detect her movements.

Her slender palms reached into the hidden openings within her suit as threads, which could only be seen under the light, were withdrawn.

In her fingers, the threads danced in the air as they surrounded the bed.

While she did not check whether or not the figure within the bed was her target, it did not matter. She could always confirm her target after his death.

Normally, Plum did not care nor did she know who her target was. Plum never bothered peeking at her victim's information. Instead, she mindlessly followed her companions. The only thing that mattered was exterminating her target and thus, completing her mission.

However, something about the residence and this very room felt awfully familiar to her

A surge of curiosity suddenly overwhelmed her as she uncharacteristically tugged the blankets off the target's face.

Only to find a pair of glistening wide eyes staring at her.

"...!"

Holy shit!

While slightly startled, she gathered her composure within seconds as she realized that the target was already awake.

"Who are you?" a deep, yet calm voice echoed in the deathly silent room.

Ignoring the man's words, Plum readied her threads. If she either pulled the thread extending from her pinky finger or if the man were to move even an inch, the man's life would end.

However, the man laid still despite finding an intruder in his room.

"An assassin?"

Moonlight slipped through the windows as it illuminated the room. Due to the light, Plum could clearly perceive the man's features.

Bright amber eyes that pierced through the darkness and a sharp chin, he had a stunningly handsome face. This very man could easily cause hundreds of women to swoon over him with a single glance. He seemed to be in his mid to late twenties. But, there was a large grotesque scar on the right side of his face, which made him appear rugged despite his elegant appearance.

"Yes," she answered without thinking.

"I see. I wouldn't mind being killed tonight, but as my last request, could you state your name?"

Plum paused for a moment. It was rare for her to leave a target alive for so long while she was in their presence, not to mention holding a conversation.

Since the man was going to die within seconds, it would not hurt her if she told him her name.

"I am Li Meifeng." She accidentally blurted out her real name. By the time she noticed, she had already spoken.

For the first time since she arrived, the man's expression fluctuated. Before he could say any last words, the alarm sounded.

Ring! Ring! Ring!
