Zhia Xiang sighed and sat on the leather chair in front of the screen.
âReady for a new mission? âagent 0 asked.
âYes. Go on.âZhia Xiang said leaning on the chair.
âThe next mission is about Denise who was married for two years with Adrien, the two had a good relationship. Adrien's childhood best friend, Marie, had a crush on him for a long time and was jealous so she framed Denise of cheating on Adrien with fabricated proof. Adrien, who trusted his best friend, not believing she would lie to him, divorced and threw Denise out. Abandoned by her husband and her family, she lived in poverty and died of an illness. Her task is to not fall in love again and life independent. â agent 0 explained.
âI see. She doesn't want to take revenge? âZhia Xiang asked.
âNot sure, that's her only task. If you want to do anything to Adrien or Marie you're free to do it. âagent 0 explained.
âAlright. â Zhia Xiang said and pressed the accept button making the bright light surround her.
Open opening her eyes she saw the shabby house she's living in.
âI asume I was already thrown out. âZhia Xiang said sighing at the sad sight.
âYes. â agent 0 replied.
âLet's begin by exploring the town. âZhia Xiang said and arranged herself with stuff from the base.
The country is successful and rich, the town is decorated and busy with people rushing on their way. Zhia Xiang looked around as she tried to make a plan for her to become successful. She could use her journal, but she felt like Denise wouldn't want that.
âHelp! Save me! â a blonde woman shouted.
She was dragged away by 4 tall and muscular men.
Zhia Xiang looked at the woman and felt a familiar feeling.
âSubject #654, that seems to be Adrien's older sister, Michelle. â agent 0 said pointing at the woman.
Zhia Xiang sighed and walked to the scene.
âWhat are you doing with her? âZhia Xiang asked.
The men turned and looked at Zhia Xiang, one of them scoffed.
âNone of your bussines, she's our masters slave. Scram before we take you too. â one of them said and all the others laughed.
The blonde vulnerable and scared woman was sobbing and trembling in fear.
Zhia Xiang looked at the man who spoke with a deathly glare and put her hand on his head.
The man arched his eyebrow confused when out of sudden he felt an sharp pain in his skull. Zhia Xiang was crushing his head with one hand.
âI won't let a mere man hurt a woman in front of me. You low scum. â Zhia Xiang spat.
The man began to shout and struggle, but her grip was too strong.Zhia Xiang looked him in the eyes with blood thirst, like a monster.
âHelp! She's going to kill me, monster! âthe man shouted as the sound of bone cracking could be heard by bystanders.
The other three men attacked Zhia Xiang. She scoffed and killed the man in her hand turning her back to the other three.
âGet your ass out of here.â Zhia Xiang said looking at Michelle.
âThank you! âthe blonde woman said and ran.
Zhia Xiang took a knife out and soon all of her opponents fell down in a blood puddle making everyone who witnessed, shiver at the bloody sight.
A woman that small and weak looking killed four trained bodyguards in less than 5 minutes? Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
The sound of clapping stole everyone's attention.
âBravo! Truly magnificent. â a woman summary dressed said walking towards Zhia Xiang as she fanned herself.
âThat look, yes, I'm Giselle. What's your name, dear? âthe woman asked swinging her fan slowly.
âDenise. â Zhia Xiang replied cleaning her blood stained face.
âDenise, work for me. I'll make sure your talents are put to use and you won't regret it. â Giselle said smiling cunningly.
Zhia Xiang could feel that this woman isn't simple, she's crazy and bloodthirsty. Zhia Xiang liked her.
âWhat job you're offering? â
âAssassins. I'm running the best assassinating agency to ever exist. And all of my assassins are women. âGiselle said getting closer to Zhia Xiang's face smiling. âYou're perfect for this job. The payment won't disappoint you. â Giselle whispered.
Zhia Xiang smiled.
âI accept. â she said and the two shook hands under everyone's gazes.
Who is this country didn't knew madame Giselle and her assassins? Even the King didn't wished to offend her.
âLet's go talk more. Follow me. â Giselle said and lead the way to a big building.
Upon entering, Zhia Xiang saw a bunch of women bowing their heads welcoming Giselle back.
âI found a new member, prepare some tea while I discuss with her. âGiselle said smiling.
âYes, madame. â a girl said leaving to prepare tea.
Zhia Xiang followed Giselle into a meeting room.
âAllow me to ask, aren't you Denise, Adrien's ex wife? âGiselle asked supporting her elbows on the table.
âThat's me. â Zhia Xiang answered.
âI would never have imagined you possessed such skills. Do you want him dead? âGiselle asked.
Knock knock.
â The tea is here, madame. â
âBring it. âGiselle said and the door opened, two young girls bringing and pouring tea for Giselle and Zhia Xiang.
âThank you.â Zhia Xiang said smiling to the cute girl.
âYou're welcome. âthe girl smiled back and left together with the other girl.
Zhia Xiang took a sip from her tea.
âIs it to your liking? âGiselle asked adding more sugar to hers.
âYes. About your question, I will make him suffer my own way, no need for your intervention. âZhia Xiang said.
âVery well then. Now that you've accepted my offer you can live here with the rest of the girls. You'll have to go in missions that I assign you to. Any questions? âGiselle asked taking a sip of warm tea.
âHow did this agency came to exist? â Zhia Xiang asked curious.
âLong story short, I was trained to be an assassin by my father. I was naive and fell in love, he wanted to arest my father so used my nativity to get proof that father was behinds a lot of deaths.After my father got arrested and executed, I ran away and moved here where I opened this place taking girls under my wing and training them. â Giselle spoke with bitterness as she tightened her grip around the tea cup.
Zhia Xiang could tell that she still felt hurt by that man and pitied her in a way.
âI see. I don't have other questions. âZhia Xiang said.
âHuh? You're not going to ask about your payment? âGiselle asked surprised by Zhia Xiang.
âNo, I'll trust madame Giselle on that. âZhia Xiang said looking at the gorgeous and cold woman stat stood in front of her.
Giselle smiled.
âAlright then, I'll let a girl show you your room and you're free for today. âGiselle said.
Zhia Xiang stood up and walked towards the door. Giselle looked at Zhia Xiang's back smiling, she liked her.
Zhia Xiang was lead to her room, a pretty decent room.
âIf you need anything, ask the girls. They are friendly. â the girl that served tea earlier said.
âThank you. What's your name? â Zhia Xiang asked.
âLuna. â the girl replied.
âSuch a pretty name. Why is a girl so young here? â
âI had nowhere to go so madame Giselle took me under her care. â Luna explained with sadness in her eyes.
Zhia Xiang squeezed Luna's shoulder as comfort and entered her room.

Michelle ran to her brother's mansion as fast as she could, arriving there as a panting mess.
She explained to Adrien that on her way here a bunch of men attacked her carriage, killed her servants and planned on selling her as slave. She told him about the savior who saved her fighting the men alone and begged her brother to find that woman so she could repay her.
Adrien went in the town asking around about the whereabouts of the woman who saved his sister.
âMadame Giselle, huh? âAdrien said not knowing what to do.
Madame Giselle is known for disliking men so he wasn't sure if going to her is a good idea so he chose to go back home.
âHave you found her? âMichelle, who was now clean and arranged asked siting up.
âMadame Giselle took her. Adrien explained.
