Chapter 216 - Night Operations (2)
"Is there any assassination's request?" Nan Hua asked softly.
"Yes. There are several of them."
"Show me."
Nan Hua took the bamboo strips from Fei Mao and read the content. There were several people who wanted for Official Du to step down because he and his guards had wronged them several times. But because of their weak position, they couldn't win against him and could only resort to ask for assassination request.
"Why is this not picked up?" Nan Hua asked.
"The request is not only to kill Official Du but also the guards who follow him. Those guards are quite powerful and their number are a lot. The reward from this mission is not much," Fei Mao reported truthfully.
As assassins, they certainly needed to have certain skills and confidence before doing their mission. In the case like this where the opponent was powerful while the price was considerably low, there were not many people who would want to step forward.
Dark Moon Organization was also not really active in Fei Yang Kingdom Capital City as their base was quite far.
"I see. In that case I'll pick it up." Nan Hua looked at the detail and put it away. The target was Official Du and his guards with him. "Come with me to leave the organization's mark. Also, leave the servants and his wives."
"Yes."
The assassination target didn't include the servants and Nan Hua knew that such a huge residence would have a lot of servants inside. It would be too much to kill everyone when she didn't even know who participated from the servants.
Since that was the case, she would just let them off and only targeted the officials and his main guards.
"How many people are his guards?" Nan Hua took the mask from the side and worn it properly.
"Replying to Miss, there are a total of 16 main guards and additional of 5 guards responsible for the residence safety.
Nan Hua's eyes narrowed. "Knock those five additional guards and kill the other 16."
"Yes!"
"Give me the layout."
"Yes, Miss."
Nan Hua studied the layout as plan formed in her mind rapidly. Looking at the notes at the side, she understood the changes of the guards and their route easily. Such simple calculation was nothing for her.
Swish!
In truth, Nan Hua didn't know much about the so called feelings and whatsoever. When she saw how Old Master Nan was wounded because of her, Nan Luo, and her cousin's action, she felt uncomfortable. For the first time in her life, her blood boiled so hard as if it was trying to burst out and steam everything.
She knew that her identity as the young miss wouldn't be of much use.
Since that was the case, she chose to be using the most familiar method that she knew. As an assassin, it was a piece of cake for her to sneak into her opponent's lair and killed them before they realized what had happened.
The Dark Moon Organization Branch was in her hand.
If she didn't make a full use of this organization, what was the point of her getting it?
This time, she would make use of Dark Moon Organization to eliminate that official who dared to try putting down her grandfather. Since he was within the kill list of the organization, it made things easier. There were a lot of people who wanted him to die.
It wouldn't be easy to link it to her.
The night was dark as the moon was covered by the clouds, preventing anyone to have clear view of the beautiful night.
Official Du's Residence was large and it was located in the middle of the city.
With heavy protection from the guards around, there was no one who would dare to get close there. They didn't want to seek death. Not to mention, the temper of this Official Du was not exactly good.
Thud!
A shadow passed through and two guards who were standing at the gate lost strength as they fell to the back.
"Miss," Fei Mao called out softly.
"Make them stand and wait here. When there's noise, make the mark and go."
Nan Hua didn't say anything more as she leapt inside. Her movement was extremely smooth. The tall wall that had proudly stopped so many thieves before was nothing in front of her.
Fei Mao silently stood behind the guard, within the shadow. People from outside wouldn't be able to guess that there was someone standing there as they would only think there were two people here and not three.
Swish!
The wind blew faintly.
Nan Hua glanced to the side and saw several people moving towards the main hall. Seeing their identity as servants, she didn't make a move and only watched quietly from behind the tree.
"Master asks us to deliver more food tonight. Is he going to ask us to stay behind again?" the servant asked in quivering tone.
"Don't worry, the madam is accompanying him tonight. There's no way he'll ask us to stay behind," The second servant reassured her friend.
The woman nodded. "Tonight is quite cold."
"Let's go, the patrol guards will come soon enough."
Nan Hua was staying still. Her mind still had the picture of the layout from before as she silently moved towards the area where the guards will appear.
First, she will eliminate all the guards here.
Thud! Slash!
The smell of blood grew thicker as more and more people died. Some of them easily died without Nan Hua using any weapon. But those who were faster and stronger managed to stay alive and tried to counterattack.
She had no other choice but to use the fallen guard's sword to kill the other party.
'My fingerprint… oh, there's no such thing here.'
Being used to the modern world with advance equipment, Nan Hua silently shook her head. She hid the body behind the bushes while she silently counted the number of the guards she had killed.
'Two more.'
