[Bonus chapter] Hera Cruel is alive

"I lost contact with them a long time ago, but I know Felice. The foolish woman who fell in love with her target and brought a monster into this world."

Grandma Zhu took a deliberate pause as she pressed her lips into a tight line once more. It had been a while since she thought of her old friend. 

"I used to be her client when she was still working all alone. She's the best assassin in her generation — one of a kind. She was a dangerous woman. Although she's younger than me, she scares me," she continued under her breath, feeling this weight in her heart at the thought of that friend. "I know even if we're in the same age, I will never beat her. Be it wits or strength — she's that amazing."

"It does sound like she is." Primo nodded in agreement. "If I meet her, I might want to marry her."
