Chapter 9

...

Inside the small room of the cheap hotel, Yun Rong sleeps peacefully on the soft bed. Unknown to her, another problem is arising as the sun slowly rises on the horizon.

What happened to the special prison cell caused a small commotion inside the police station. Those who discovered the three people inside and saw the things in the trash can showed that these people are not that simple. Because the trash can is small it was not able to contain the clothing and stuff of the three, so the police were able to spot those things immediately.

And this news immediately reaches Manager Jung's ears which made his expression turned ugly.

No one in the police station is that dumb. The woman included in this incident is Manager Jung's assistant and is a common figure in his shop. Though not all of the authorities knew that his shop also dabbles in black market trades, the shop is still a fairly known antique shop in the city.

Inside the black market shop, furious shouting could be heard.

"Damn it! Search the city! I want that woman found and captured... If capture is not possible… then…" Manager Jung shouted while he smashed his hand on the dark brown mahogany table as his right thumb slid across his throat signaling to kill Yun Rong if she could not be caught.

The several people around him nodded their heads and quickly left the room.

Those three people that were sent to eliminate the Yun Rong are seasoned killers called Traceless Assassins. However, they still failed and from what the informant told the group, it seems that their target is a good fighter and has a hacker as support.

This news has already caused great anxiety in Manager Jing's heart as he felt that the young woman would surely get back at him for this.

…

Meanwhile, in the SS sub-office in Hong Kong, 6:30 pm…

A black-suited mature and handsome man who looks like his 30s is busy looking at some files behind his desk while knitting his brows and adjusting his golden framed glasses. He is carefully checking the top-secret files in his hands. The nameplate on the desk reads Colonel Xi Chao, project head.

"Out of the Seeding candidates, there are already three who were killed in action… But the case of Li Qin is very abnormal…" he muttered while checking the files which he has checked many times before.

"She is the one with the highest aptitude and results out of all the candidates, but her reluctance to kill made her seemed weak… She is indeed a young woman… I guess not all women are as reliable as 'Mother'. She is the perfect assassin in this group of female seedlings…" he muttered to himself while flipping through the documents one could see a slight sense of loss in his eyes.

Knock! Knock!

The sound of someone knocking outside the door sounded, which made the man turn his head to the glass door. He nodded after seeing that it was his assistant.

After opening the door, the tall man also in his 30's with a military crew cut hair entered and said.

"Sir… We received some reports. One of our supposed K.I.A. Seedling agents was seen in a police station in Sanya. I confirmed that the information is true and that the agent was apprehended by the police last night. However, she was able to escape… the agent's name is Li Qin."

After hearing that name, the man behind the desk lifted his gaze and looks at his assistant in surprise.

"Li Qin… She's supposed to be dead, right? What is going on?" Col. Xi Chao asked with a calm expression but his heart suddenly jumped a beat.

The assistant then handed him the files in his hand.

Col. Xi Chao did not ask any more questions and just quickly reads through the police report.

"It appears sir, that she seems to be suffering from memory loss…" the man said.

"Amnesia… How true is this? But from her actions, it seems that there is a possibility that she is faking it…" Col. Xi Chao thought as the report said that the young woman named Li Qin was able to take down three armed people who tried to infiltrate the police station.

And it seems that those people are after her.

Though she did not kill them, there is that possibility that everything she did was on purpose.

"Possibly, but the possibility that the agent is compromised is also high." The man added.

"We cannot be sure of her mental state as of now. But as long as she did not yet divulge the secret of Project Seeding, then we can still clean this up. Investigate those three people immediately…" Col. Xi Chao said with a frown.

"Should I activate some of our agents, sir?" the man asked while waiting for the instruction to the side.

Col. Xi Chao was a bit hesitant as of this moment. If Li Qin died in a mission, then that's it. But if she is still alive, then how should he proceed from here? However, he could not let his emotion be clouded at this time.

The best course of action is to activate their agents and eliminate Li Qin. Though they did not know how she is able to survive and the true situation at hand, they knew that she poses a clear and present danger for the secret organization because of her mental state.

SS has maintained its secrecy for years and has planted many agents all over the globe. Their operations could be matched with CIA black ops or M16 secret operatives. However, the Seedling Project is much more than a simple secret organization. Each agent in the Seedling Project has been conditioned since young and has been brainwashed to obey their command.

Their brains are like living computers, their speed is fast, their body is agile, their muscles are strong, and their determination does not waver. They are even immune to pain when their mission objective is triggered. They do not fear death and would not forsake their country for anything else. They are considered true patriots and perfect weapons.

Free will was removed from every Seedling Agents which made them true and feared killers. But they are not that emotionless all the time. There are times when they would still act normally.

"Alright, I want you to activate… 'Tourist'… and… Hmmm… Let's go with 'Mother'." Col. Xi Chao said after thinking for a while.

After he said that, he closed the files in front of him and knitted his brow once again. He is now thinking of the Li Qin in his memories. She is a calm young woman, beautiful and very… charming.

A slight smile appears on his face upon thinking to this point. He suddenly remembers what happened a year ago. He suddenly received three young seedling agents to his team. And his eyes immediately caught Li Qin, a charming young woman with a gorgeous smiling face.

Though he knew that she is an agent from Seedling, he could not help but be drawn by her beauty. After a few interactions because of the missions, the two have gotten close and have secretly gotten into an illicit affair.

The department never knew about this, as their meetings are in secret, and Li Qin was very adept in hiding her traces.

However, when his wife became suspicious, he stopped. But once in a while, he would contact her, and two would be together.

That was until she was assigned a mission to kill a rich arms dealer and was reported dead. He was a bit affected by this, that's why he tried to always look at her file every now and then just to reminisce of her presence. But this time... this time there is news of her being alive.

He could not let the information about the secret agency and the Seedling project be in public. Though he was a bit hesitant and wanted to see her again, yet his position in the government is far more important than her. With that in mind, Col. Xi Chao has already decided to terminate Li Qin.

"I'm sorry my dear… I may have liked you... but... you can only blame yourself for this…" he thought as a slight disappointment appears in his eyes.

…

Sanya City, Downtown area, 10 pm

A young man with dark blue hair around 6 feet tall and is an Asian-American descent, is currently taking off his white t-shirt.

On the bed lies a scantly clothe woman in a red and purple tube dress having light makeup and a slightly intoxicated appearance on her face. She is currently showing a seductive glace while ogling the sexy body of the man in front of her.

Upon seeing his well-built body, she could not help but lick her lips.

She is someone who frequents clubs and likes to party. But sleeping with just some random guys is not her cup of tea. She wanted to get not just any guys but those excellent ones. And right now, in front of her, if she rates this guy, she would rate him 8 out of 10.

Because she did not know how well are his skills in bed and how deep is his pocket yet. But just his body alone, she is already satisfied.

The woman suddenly sits from the bed and quickly hugging the young man while feeling his chest, his muscles, and his abs. Her hands are all over the place.

"You are a naughty little vixen…" the young man said with a smile.

"Hihi… I'm your naughty little vixen for tonight…" she said as she planted a kiss on his lips.

The young man seemed to be aroused by her kiss and he suddenly deepens the kiss while their tongues intertwined with each other.

This passionate exchange made her unconsciously moan in a slight bout of pleasure.

His hands have already expertly taken off her dress which exposes her sexy black lingerie.

Her milky white skin is exposed making the young man feel the heat rushing to his brain. He could not wait anymore and began kissing her passionately once again while his large hands started touching her soft body.

His expert movement, made her moan over and over in bouts of pleasure. Then she too began to move and went for his pants.

She suddenly touches something hard below which made her widen her eyes in shock.

"Umm… Big... Be... Be gentle… okay…" she suddenly said with a shy expression.

This made the young man became more excited.

As they were about to start, his 'other' phone suddenly rang.

When he heard that tone, his expression that is filled with lust and excitement suddenly died down.

He stopped moving, which made the young woman feel a bit confused.

"What's wrong…?" she asked coquettishly with a hint of annoyance on her face as she acted a little cute in front of the young man.

The young man did not answer and without emotion, he walks to the side and takes out the phone from his pants pocket.

He looks at the message on the phone and then saw the picture.

'Target name: Li Qin…'

'Possible location: xxx apartment, xxx building, Sanya City…'

'Threat level: Very Dangerous'

'Mission objective: Terminate'

After reading the text and looking at the picture, the young man looks outside the window.

"Come here…" the young woman said as she spreads her hands in the air.

The young man looks at her and grabs her hand making her kneel on the bed. Her face is already facing his crotch which made her feel a bit excited.

But then suddenly, her consciousness slowly fades as she felt something hitting the side of her neck.

As the woman fainted, the young man takes out an injection from the side of his bag and injects something on her neck.

"Wait here for a while… I will be back to eat you later…" he whispered as a vicious expression appears on his face.

The guy got dressed and takes out a small backpack from inside the cabinet and left the room.

This young man's code name is 'Tourist'.

Each Seedling agent has its own oddities after each mission. And this guy… 'Tourist' likes to have wild sex after every mission.

He did not expect to go on a mission actually. But since he is going out, he decided to prepare the woman so that she can last under his assault later after he is finished.

…

Meanwhile, right at this moment, in an alleyway near a tall luxurious building, a figure is slowly walking within the shadows.

After searching for the apartment building for the whole day while avoiding the authorities, Yun Rong has finally found the right place which is supposed to be her house.
