"Take a look at this, Isabella. The 'Ninjas of Assassination Mission' can't reveal who sent them. Instead of revealing their source, they used to be trained soldiers, and they believe in the concept of dying an honorable death rather than succumbing to defeat. They understand very well that if one of them is captured, the rest of them are in jeopardy. Therefore, they resort to taking their own lives using a type of Eastern poison that no one can explain the workings of. So, if this is their modus operandi, you can simply become a whistleblower," Alexa explained.However, to Isabella, Alexa still spoke in parables, as she found everything Alexa said to be complicated. Hence, she immediately said, "Help me understand, Alexa. What do you mean?""Come on, Isabella, don't be clueless for goodness' sake.""Language, Alexa!" Isabella quickly cautioned"I apologize, Isabella. I just wanted to ensure you grasped what I was telling you. If you think deeply, it's as simple as ABC. After you've o

Arriving at the car park adjacent to the children's playground, Isabella noticed that the playground, which had been bustling during her previous visit, now resembled nothing more than a ghost town infected by lots of dusty cars by the car park.However, it didn't give off an abandoned playground vibe. Instead, it seemed like the playground was frozen in a moment of absent footsteps. However, if Isabella took this as a big concern, it was a lie, as she simply pulled the door handle and stepped out of the car.At that moment, when she was out of her fancy car, she held her fancy bag in her hand, and her phone was connected to her earpiece, which she had plugged into her ear. Then, as she remained standing by the car door, she took a sudden, deep sigh."So, why do you sigh like that, Isabella? Are you nervous?" Alexa asked immediately. However, the only response she received from Isabella was fervent silence. To which, in a short moment, Isabella took another sigh before finally saying,

"Alright, Alexa Rosewood, can you tell me the password now so I can go in?""It feels nice that you finally acknowledged me by the right surname, Isabella. And yes, I feel so good that we are now on the same page of this revenge book. So, what is left for you is to promise," Alexa said."Promise? Promise what, Alexa?” Isabella wondered as she glanced at her phone screen to check the time.In the same manner, she looked to the left and right again, just to confirm if anyone was walking past or seeing her in front of the dusty door, like a cat on a hot tin roof, as if she were nervously awaiting some unseen danger."Alexa, we do not have time for this. Tell me the password, and we can talk this out later.""No, Isabella, we must do this now. This is the perfect time, or else you will not have my ear. So, you must promise before I tell you the passcode. You must promise never to talk rudely to me again. You must promise never to indirectly tell me to become a slave. I am as free as a bir

"Hey, Mrs. Isabella Rosewood, you finally arrived back for our deal, huh?" Behind the five men standing in the dusty doorway and pointing their guns at Isabella, the same man who had sold Isabella the weapon before walked out and smiled like a silly cat.Yet his silly jokes had no effect on Isabella, as she tensed up with all the guns still pointed at her like a deer caught in the headlights. Suddenly, beads of sweat appeared on her face, soaking her like rain on a wilting flower.In this moment, her trembling legs were obvious, as were her trembling hands, which remained raised like a surrendering thief in the middle of a heist."I told you you would come back to hire men, didn't I? Only I did not expect you to come so soon," the man said again, still in his silly demeanor as he danced like a joker with his girlfriend in a wild tangle of crimson locks.Immediately, he dashed forward out of the dusty doorway like a racer in a race. And as he reached Isabella, he leaned close to her fa

Upon hearing what the man said, Isabella's eyes displayed shock. "But what did I do wrong? Her voice emerged softly from her lips, resembling that of an innocent woman who was wrongly apprehended and simply wanted to go home as if nothing ever happened."You don't know? Alright, I'll tell you," the man said as he extracted a bullet from his pocket and loaded it into the pistol chamber handed to him."You came here after a message had been passed in the secret group, indicating that no one should come here. This suggests that you are not part of the secret group, and if you're not in the secret group, it's not safe to do business with you," the man explained; however, that was not all he said as he proceeded further."Not only did you come at the wrong time, but you also stood at the door, clearly talking to someone on your phone. Tell me, are you working with the police?" The man asked, finally loading all the bullets from his pocket into his pistol and manually rotating the chamber l
