"Hunh… of all the people that could ruin the mood, it had to be you, didn't it?"
Beyond the small pocket view, I saw the headless body of the driver sitting over the carriage. But it wasn't his dead body that aggravated .
It was the skinny girl that wore a black spandex outfit for what one could assu is for an assassin… or a completely different reason altogether.
And it wasn't just any assassin; But Rebecca Hailey. The girl who had tried to kill once before, but failed miserably and had to be saved by her final boss like powerful teacher.
Rebecca stood before the carriage's horses who supposedly still remained there, despite knowing the driver had been killed by her.
She watched with a calm mind and eyes full of conviction. On both her hands were a pair of Sai's that had sothing inscribed on them. She pointed her right Sai at the carriage, in a motion of challenge.
I put my mouth out and speak loudly, "What the hell do you want?"
"Your head."
"Really? Does it have to be that specific? Can't you just take the driver's or even one of the horses maybe?"
Understanding my words, the horses kicked around and neighed angrily.
"Alright alright, none of your heads, I get it."
Finally, they stopped and I sighed, "Can't we do this another day? I have sothing very important to do today."
"No! I have waited long for blood and today is the day, I'll have it."
"You and your revenge plot… alright, let get out first."
"Crick"
"Clang!"
I try to unlock the door to the carriage but was having troubles with it. No matter how much I tried, the door wouldn't budge. First it unlocked before imdiately locking then unlock again as I accidentally lock it back all over again.
"Give a second… almost got it… right there."
"Bang!"
Seeing that it wasn't going to open up anyway, I kicked the door off.
Stepping out, I see that we were at an empty place on the countryside. There was a road leading to the city, but the city was far and even if I ran, it would take hours before I reach the hearing distance.
"Nice little spot you trapped . Is this how an honorable warrior enacts her vengeance?"
"I'm no warrior and you definitely are not soone who deserves an honorable end." She said and did so cool tricks with the Sai's then lowered her stance and got ready.
"First of all, no matter how much I would like to disagree to that, I won't because there's no audience here and secondly, That's a nice trick. Did you learn that after I packed you back then?"
Anger overflowed Rebecca as she instantly disappeared from her place and quickly appeared before . Her right hand aiming for my eyes but I quickly slap her wrist, parrying it away.
Without waiting, she stabbed with her left one which I dodged before slashing at my chest with her right. I dodged as the Sai barely passed and she used her left Sai to stab at my side, wanting to pierce my large intestine.
Her Sai got pretty close to pierce . But just as she thought she was about to do so damage to , her vision went pitch-black.
My large hands grabbed her face and tossed her away.
Because of her low weight and slim figure, she went rather far. But her landing was safe as she first touched the ground first with her hands and jumped back as she did a rollback and did so more before finally stopping.
Now our distance beca roughly 50 ters, give or take.
"So the trick wasn't the only thing you learned, did ya? Finally figured out how to use that small body of yours to advantage."
Rebecca didn't say anything and only positioned her Sai's close to her face. Then she ran towards again like a panther.
"Wa- Wa- Wait!" I stamred trying to stop her and her run abruptly ca to an awkward jump before stopping.
"What! Don't think you can get out of this by pleading. I won't stop until I massacre everything you care about."
"Pipe down your anger and listen for a sec." I say and wipe the smile off my face.
"Why are you trying to kill ?"
"What?" Rebecca felt confused by the question, "What do you an why? Are you trying to fuck with , you fa- you-"
"Can't call fat anymore, can ya?"
"You Pig."
The smile goes out like a candle, 'I stand corrected.'
"Okay, let's get serious. I wasn't trying to joke with you or anything. I genuinely want to know why you're going so far to kill little ol ?"
She stopped for a second and took a mont of thinking. But in the span of a few seconds her thoughtful look turned frozen.
"Doesn't matter anymore. Until I kill every one of you that has the blood of Tax, I won't sleep anymore." She said with brutal cold eyes.
"You fell so that far that it doesn't even matter who your mother's killer is anymore."
"So you do know, you pig fucker!" She said as she aid a Sai at and hurled it. I only had to tilt my head for it to bypass .
But as it seed like I was out of danger, the flying Sai suddenly turned around and ca to strike at my back.
Rebecca saw the Sai reaching fast towards her target and waited for it to hit right at Henry's naval. But in the next mont her eyes widened as she blurted in shock, "What!"
In her eyes, she saw Henry suddenly turn around at the last mont and grab her Sai. His speed was so fast that it almost matched hers in that mont.
"That was actually cooler than the flip you did." My face quickly devolves into a sadistic smile, "Unfortunately for you, I can see all of your moves."
My eyes already saw the thin almost invisible thread connecting from the Sai to her wrist, so I knew that she would use so trick with it.
"Do you know what happens when an assassin's trick gets grasped by their enemy?" Before she could respond, I pull the Sai back hard and the thread connecting Rebecca, pulled her towards , "The trick becos its own death sentence."
Her figure cos flowing at in great speed as I punch at her face with full strength. Right as my fist was about to collide with her…
"Whisp!"
A smoke bomb erupted and clouded my view for a second. Even with the smoke bomb, my eyes were special enough to see through it. But she only needed that second disruption to vanish herself.
Looking around, I didn't see her figure around .
'Where did she go? She couldn't just vanish from my sight. I can't see her anywhere on the ground so where the hel- The Ground!'
Imdiately, I dodged to the left as a Sai stabs down from the sky towards where I stood a mont ago. But the strange thing was that it was only the Sai, still no of the assassin.
Suddenly, the hairs of my back stand up and my survival instincts flare.
I swap behind my back and Rebecca ducks down, barely dodging my attack as I feel the strands of her hair passing by my hand. But what scared back then wasn't her attacking from at my back, it was her going for my balls.
But even now, as she ducked, her attack didn't stop and the Sai went for my future generations.
