My Only Assassin

Chapter 3

Edden Dè Noah, the leader of the most powerful mafia organization in the country, had always been feared for his ruthless and efficient handling of business. But lately, he'd been struggling to keep the organization together. Too many problem he faced but it doesn't bother him at all.

One day, Edden was at a VIP party when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He stepped outside the venue, away from the noise and commotion, to answer the call. As he tried to concentrate on the conversation, he felt a shiver down his spine. Was he being followed? He couldn't shake the feeling that someone was following him. Edden's instincts kicked in, and he quickly slipped into the adjacent alley, hoping to evade his potential stalker. He was right. A masked woman in a dark cloak was tailing him. She had already thrown multiple daggers at him, and he had seen a mysterious liquid dripping from each one. Edden's suspicions were confirmed. She was a hired assassin.

"Who sent you?" Said Edden. She doesn't answer his question and remains silent . He quickly reached for his phone again to alert his underlings to the situation, commanding them to surround and capture the assailant. The woman was a fierce opponent, and even though Edden's men outnumbered her, she was able to take down every single one of them with ease.

As Edden's orders were made, more underlings rushed into the area, surrounding the aggressive woman, ready to engage in the fight.

He was surprised when the girl ran up to him and pointed the blade at his throat. He kicks the mysterious woman in order to protect their leader. The woman, who had just been kicked before, appeared to be undeterred by the new arrivals. Instead, she charged straight at them, launching herself at the closest one, fists flying.

The underlings, caught off guard by the sudden attack, reeled back, trying to regain their balance. The woman had clearly been trained in some sort of martial art, as she was quickly landing strike after strike on her opponents, who were being overwhelmed by the sheer force of her attacks.

Edden, realizing that his underlings were no match for this woman, quickly ordered them to stand down. Even as the woman landed a final blow on the last underling, he held up a hand, signaling to her that the fight was over. He had underestimated her, but he was now ready to make a deal with her.

As Edden watched the woman disappear into the crowd, he couldn't help but feel some sense of admiration for her. She was strong, fast, and determined, a dangerous combination for any enemy to have. Despite the fact that she had tried to kill him, Edden couldn't help but consider the possibility of her being a valuable asset to his operation.

He contemplated the idea of having her as an underling, but the danger she posed was too great for him to take such a risk. Edden was no stranger to ruthless tactics, but he knew that bringing someone as dangerous as this woman into his inner circle would be a huge mistake.

Still, he couldn't let her go that easily. He knew that she posed a threat to him and his organization and he had to do something about it. With a smirk on his face, Edden picked up his phone and made a call to his right-hand man giving him specific instructions to find the woman and check her background including who she works for.

He was excited as he anxiously waited for the results from his right-hand man. He knew that once he found out everything he needed to know about this fierce and talented woman, he would be able to use her skills to his advantage. He couldn't wait to have her in his own personal employ, to have access to her remarkable abilities and potentials. He needs to get rid of the one who's sending her to kill him. He needs to persuade the girl to work under his organization.

After 2 days~

As Edden sat in his office,Edden could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he waited for his right-hand man's report. He had sent his most trusted and reliable man to gather all the information about this young woman who had come after him. He needed to know everything about her, from her name to her skills and weaknesses, so he could use it to his advantage. He was anxious to see what information would come back, but he also realized that it was important to remain calm and patient. There was a lot riding on this, and he couldn't afford to rush things. He would wait as long as it took to get the information he needed, and then he would act accordingly.

His right-hand man enters his office and he tells him that he's not able to get her personal information at all.

"What?! You couldn't get the information?" Edden yelled, his voice filled with anger. He couldn't believe that his right-hand man had failed to gather the most crucial information about this mysterious woman.

"Do you have any idea what's at stake here? This is crucial for our plan. You're telling me you couldn't get the information? How incompetent can you be?!"

Edden's outburst lasted several more minutes as he let out his anger on his right-hand man. He was furious and frustrated, and he couldn't believe that something so important could have been handled with such ignorance. He was ready to fire the man on the spot, but he knew that he needed his help to continue the rest of their plan. He would just have to hope that the man would make up for his failure in the end.

"It's hard when her boss already sealed her personal information. I couldn't get the information about who she works for either. Their security is too tight. I can't even track her",said his right handed man.

Edden's heart sank at the news. He knew that it was going to be difficult to get the information they needed, but he hadn't realized it would be this difficult. He needed to know everything about this girl, and her past secrets were an important piece of that puzzle. He couldn't afford to let this setback deter him, though. He needed to find a way to get the information he needed, even if it meant getting his hands dirty. He turned to his left-hand man with a determined look on his face.

"We have to find a way to get that information. Maybe we need to use our connections in the underground or the black market. Whatever it takes, we need to get that information."

Edden was committed to finding out everything he could about this fierce and talented woman, and he wasn't going to let anything stop him.

Edden's right-hand man walked out of the room, feeling a mixture of frustration and determination. He had failed to get the information his boss needed, and he knew that he would have to work even harder to make up for his failure. He was determined to find out everything about this woman and her past secrets, no matter what it took. He just hoped that he would be able to come up with a plan that would satisfy his boss and help them get the upper hand in this situation.

As Edden's right-hand man walked out of the room, Edden sat back in his chair, his mind racing with thoughts. He needed that information—it was crucial to their plan. But it seemed like finding it was going to be more difficult than he thought. He sighed, feeling a sense of frustration wash over him. He knew he had to do something, but he wasn't sure what. He knew that this mysterious girl was a serious threat, and she wasn't going to go down without a fight. He needed to find a way to get an advantage over her, but he didn't know how. He felt like he was running out of options, and time was running out. He would have to figure out a plan, and soon.
