Aleshia placed her hand under an old chair and pulled out a black dagger. It was the same dagger that she used when she tried to assassinate Lawrend. It had the same black and shiny sheen.
Aleshia left their home in the slums in rapid footsteps. The piece of paper she opened earlier was the same one Mr. Julian gave her, or rather, the ex-city guard gave her. It was addressed to a small warehouse in the slums.
When Aleshia arrived in front of it, everything around it was silent. No one lives around here anymore. She jumped over the wall surrounding the warehouse. When she landed she saw the doors of the warehouse wide open. She could also hear the incessant sound of a girl crying inside.
It was Ella. Aleshia ran towards the door and she was able to sigh a breath of relief when she saw Ella still alive and well. As long as she is still alive then she could save her.
Ella was tied on one of the wooden supports of the warehouse. There were snot and tears all over her face. It looked like she has been crying for a long time. Aleshia felt her heart grow cold when she realized that.
Surrounding Ella is Mr. Julian, the ex-guard, and 5 of his squadmates. They were all sitting on top of flipped wooden crates. There was a wicked grin on their faces when they saw Aleshia arrive.
"Welcome, Aleshia. Tonight, I will make you howl in pleasure!"
Julian laughed teasingly. He licked his lips licentiously. His gaze moved up and down across her body.
Aleshia raised her arms to cover her chest instinctively. From the way he was leering at her, she could almost feel his gaze on her skin. It was a disgusting and repulsive feeling.
"Release Ella and we could still talk about this!"
Aleshia shouted at him in anger. Her goal now is to save Ella, she couldn't make any mistakes. Just the same as when she does her missions in the Blood Flower Assassin Organization.
"Big Sister!"
Ella's face was filled with happiness when she saw her Big Sister. It was like a thirsty man lost in the desert that was suddenly served with spring water. Her despairing situation immediately turned into a hopeful one.
There was a belief in her Big Sister ingrained in her mind. That whatever happens, her Big Sister would be able to solve it. That was what happened ever since they were young. Her Big Sister is the best!
"Talk? You made us lose our jobs! You have to pay with your body!"
There was a sneer on Julian's face as he looked at her. He would never let her go after what happened earlier. If he lets her go now, he would never get the chance to have a taste of her ever again.
Aleshia walked towards them with a serious expression on her face. She bent down and ripped her dress shorter. Julian and the rest's eyes bulged in stimulation. Their mouths salivated from seeing her slender legs.
"Hohoho, we got a compliant one here boys!"
Julian shouted in excitement. Just seeing her legs already stimulated him. What would happen if he saw her full naked body? He would be seeing a piece of heaven's artwork at that point.
A mustache man stood up and walked towards her with a licentious grin on his face. He was chuckling to himself as he moved his hands closer to touch her bottom.
"Ella, close your eyes."
Aleshia spoke in a relaxed manner. Ella nodded her head and closed her eyes. There was a smile on her face as she did so. She had an unbreakable trust towards her Big Sister.
Aleshia pulled the black dagger that she purposely hid on a sheath tied to her legs. With a swing of her arm, blood gushed out into the air. The mustache man that was walking towards her stopped in his tracks and fell down to the floor with a thud. His neck was slit and blood pooled on the floor.
"What the-!"
Julian and the other four stood up in sync. There were serious expressions on their faces. They thought that this would just be an easy task. They didn't expect Aleshia to fight back.
They all pulled the swords on their waists. They all took a stance and slowly surrounded her.
"Hehehe, even if you fight back against us. There are 5 of us all together!"
Julian laughed greedily. They are now surrounding her. She has nowhere to escape. They didn't believe that she would be able to escape with all of them working together.
Aleshia was looking at them slowly surrounding her from her peripheral vision. She was an assassin. She didn't have to fight them head-on, but for making Ella cry, she would kill them one by one
The guards all looked at each other with their eyes. A secret signal was transmitted between them. It was something taught to them as a City Guard.
They then nodded their heads together and attacked Aleshia at the same time. They were all aiming for Aleshia's feet. After all, they wouldn't want to have fun with a cold corpse. They very much preferred her warm.
Aleshia saw their little bits of movement. She realized what they were aiming for when she saw them all look at her feet. She waited for them to get nearer before jumping with all her might.
She touched the low ceiling of the small warehouse and pushed herself towards someone. The man was caught off-guard and Aleshia swung her legs to a roundhouse kick. All the man saw was her shoes before he blacked out.
The round formation of Julian and his squadmates was broken apart. They all looked at one of their squadmates lying on the ground with foam coming from his mouth. Their faces turned grim in the realization that she was actually stronger than they thought she would be.
"Who are you!?"
Julian shouted in anger. There was no way a common civilian could be this strong. They felt like she did all of this on purpose to lure them here.
