Wrong Move

Beom Seok wore a black oversized hoodie and black trousers. He didn't wear a face mask but instead wore a pair of black sunglasses. He also shaved his beard and even wore a wig.

Beom Seok did this to disguise himself.

He is very good at disguises. Once he wore these disguises he can change to another person completely. From his attitude, posture, and even the way he talks.

Beom Seok sat down on a bench and observed his surroundings quietly.

There's a food truck with a man working there, there's a lady feeding birds, and there is a man jogging with a German Shepherd by his side.

Beom Seok took out his phone and pretended to use it. In reality, he is still observing his surroundings.

Soon Beom Seok spotted his target, Xander Lee.

Xander just exited the apartment building wearing a white half turtle neck shirt and black pants. He also has a black crossbody sling bag.

Xander put on his mask as soon as he went out of the apartment building. He is going to visit grandmother Lee in one of her luxury apartments in the city.

Beom Seok continued to pretend to be playing with his phone till Xander went pass him. Beom Seok closed his phone after seeing Xander is already a couple of meters away from him.

Beom Seok stood up and put his phone inside his trouser's pocket. He slowly followed behind Xander acting like a normal passerby.

Xander went to walk to a street corner and Beom Seok find this a perfect time to give Xander his lesson as there was no one at that street. There was not even a CCTV camera.

Beom Seok slowly reach for the iron rod he hid under his hoodie, behind his back.

But when Beom Seok was about to take the iron rod out, someone hold the hand he use the reach out for the rod.

Beom Seok was about to hit that person when another person kick his leg making him slip to the ground.

This time Beom Seok caught a glance to those people who stopped him.. They were the jogger and the food truck man!?

Beom Seok was about to shout at them when the one who was feeding the birds earlier knocked him out with just one hit.

What is going on!?

...

Xander frowned when he heard a sound of a punch behind his back but when he turned around he saw no one. Except an iron rod on the ground?

Xander was sure there was no iron rod there before. He shrug his shoulders before he continued walking to Grandmother Lee's apartment.

...

Hannah hadn't live streamed for three days straight since the last live stream where she became a laughing stock.

Hannah sat on her bed while staring at the pink smart phone in front of her. She is waiting for Beom Seok's call.

Beom Seok was supposed to finish the task given to him in less than half of a day but it's almost a full day now. He hadn't contacted her at all!

Hannah gritted her teeth and started thinking to send Beom Seok's whereabouts to the police when her phone suddenly rang.

It was Beom Seok calling!

Hannah hurriedly answered the phone and asked, "Have you finished your job, Mr. Beom Seok?"

There is only silence on the other line making Hannah annoyed. But before she could complain that Beom Seok wasn't answering her, a voice sounded from the other line.

"Hannah Astor... Pick someone who you can really beat next time." A raspy voice sounded from the other line. This voice is clearly not Beom Seok's!

Before Hannah could ask who the caller was the phone call ended.

For some reason that raspy voice kept repeating in Hannah's mind. It's driving her crazy. She is confused.

Who was that voice?

What did they mean?

Just then a notification from her phone popped out on the screen. Its a text from Beom Seok's number.

Hannah hesitantly opened the text knowing the sender isn't Beom Seok. She founnd information about herself and her family in that one long text message.

All of her crimes and wrong doings are in there along with her family crimes too!

All these crimes are not known to other people but how could that person who has Beom Seok's phone know!

This is too terrifying!

Hannah nervously bit her newly painted red nails out of fear. She is so scared.

...

In a cold and dark basement.

There's a man tied in a wooden chair. His eyes are covered but he is clearly awake. He just woke up to be exact.

The man is Beom Seok.

Suddenly someone took off the blind fold that covers Beom Seok's face.

Beom Seok could see five people in the room. But he could only recognize three people; The food truck man, the jogger, and the lady feeding the bird.

Now all of these people are wearing black suits!

Are these people bodyguards in disguise or something?

Beom Seok is quite scared. Did he offend someone? Is it Hannah Astor?

Suddenly the food truck man spoke, "Song Beom Seok, Assassin Class A."

Beom Seok's eyes widen in shock. How did this guy know that he is an assassin! Even the Astor family wouldn't know about this.

Beom Seok has plenty of identities but the most secretive is him being an assassin. Only he knows this.

Suddenly Beom Seok heard slow breathing behind him. That's when he noticed 5 other more people behind him!

How could he not notice these people when his a class A Assassin!? If those people didn't reveal themselves by breathing a bit louder, Beom Seok wouldn't wouldn't know they exist.

There's only one reason why he couldn't hear those people.

They are most likely Class S assassins.

No, everyone in this room are Class S or even SSS assassins except Beom Seok!

There are different classes of assassins;

Class F, the lowest. These people are novice and fail most of the task they are given.

Class E, the assassins here are advanced beginners and can complete tasks much more easier.

Class D, most assassins are in this class. This is the most common class.

Class B, This class are known as experts. They must have completion rate over 60%.

Class A, These assassins are very rare to find. They can disguise as someone else with ease. A completion rate over 70%.

Class S, Not a lot of people can go to this class. These assassins can almost do anything and has a completion rate of 90%.

Class SSS, The highest class an assassin can get. Completion rate of a terrifying 100%! Even if they are just beside you, you wouldn't notice them until they show themselves to you. Only around 50 people in the world are in this class.

...

Beom Seok's eyes started to shake. He knows that half of the people in this room are Class SSS assassins while the other half are Class S assassins.

Beom Seok couldn't speak because of the cloth in his mouth. If he could he would scream even though no one will hear him. He could only hope that he could survive today.

Suddenly footsteps can be heard outside the room. It is clearly a pair of high heels about 4 inches tall.

Beom Seok could know the shoes and height of those shoes base on the footsteps which is terrifying.

It's scary to think what they could do when a Class A assassin can know a height of a high heel base on the sound of the footsteps.

What skills does Class S and class SSS has? It's too terrifying to think about it.

The door of the cold and dark basement opened.

An old woman with a pair of black 4 inch high heels entered. She wore an expensive dress and a soft expression on her face.

The assassins in the room bowed at the old woman at the same time making Beom Seok more terrified.

What power does this woman hold to make assassins from Class S and SSS bow down to her politely!?

"You must be Song Beom Seok." The old woman said with a soft tone as she went to stand in front of Beom Seok.

A thin layer of cold sweat on Beom Seok's forehead. He can even pee himself this instance!

"You did a very bad move today, Young man." The old woman scolded as if she is scolding her grandson.

Just then Beom Seok finally notice an old man with butler uniform beside the old woman. Beom Seok couldn't even hear the footsteps of the man even his breathing. If the old man didn't show himself, Beom Seok wouldn't even see him even if he just stood there.

This butler is probably an assassin too! Most likely in class SSS.

"Old butler, you can take care of this young man. I have to go meet my grandson in a few minutes." The old woman said with a smile.

"Yes, madam Lee." The old man or the butler bowed as he watch madam Lee leave.

Now we know that this old woman is actually grandmother Lee.

The old butler turned to look at Beom Seok with his pair of cold eyes. Beom Seok peed himself when his eyes met the butler's.
