Eminence Tempest: ever thought being someone's

Prologue

It was just not really a typical kind of life. I walk with extra eye behind my head, shadow become my best friend and how innocent and kindness appeared to be just no better than a mask humans wore to be negligence to dark side of the world. I was currently reloading my automatic pistol, beside the collapsing concrete wall , under barrage of bullets. Rugged breath , furious assailants , this is just one of those day when I messed up and exposed my cover. What I'm talking about you ask , I'm an assassin of course. Paid to eliminate certain figures or underworld bosses , most of them involved in corruption and malicious business so it's overalls not the worst job.... at least not before your life are balancing like an egg on the needle.
I wasn’t exactly tall or intimidating or frightening or anything. But when it came to assassination, apparently I had a knack for it. I’d made efforts along those lines, with varying degrees of dedication, but by the third assassination, something fizzled out of me. Humanity. Tiny to small , small to big, big to large. I can felt my humanity seeping out of me. I don't even care about the meaning of life anymore. Besides—really, at this point, Iwas kinda past the point where humanity needed to be my main focus.
Work kept me busy enough. Plus, it wasn’t like my life were guaranteed with one.
I really am not exaggerating if I sai-
" You are one tough guy to break. Kinda spent a grand literally to make you out of picture. Well I would say it is well spent "

That voice, I knew that voice ,rather specifically I'm very used to them. The bullets stop flying , I peek from my near collapsing concrete hiding spot. And there he is , Roman. With his signature shit eating grin and one hand occupied with cane. Never thought he would be the one stabbing my back nevertheless we can never trust underworld fella.

  This bastard is my boss...well was. Bitch has gone stab me in the back after I do all his bidding. I'm impressed how he able to play me like a fiddle bit still...
"You are one evil maniac , Roman. I never take you for someone who will resort to such dirty take"
He gave me a sigh " You know Zero , you are the best asset someone could have. I would feel bad if I waste such a talented assassin. But you are very thoughtful about keeping your moral codes , I now for sure you will become a needle in the flesh sooner or later to me. " He finished with frown. I narrow my eyes while matching his frown " You are saying that after I gave you my complete loyalty? What an utter bullshit you are spouting! At the very least I would not betrays you , not until today!" "We can't look back now can we?" "You crazy or dumb? I will put you down once and for all!" I let out a huff "Now, now shall we settle this peacefully or violently? You know me Zero or should I said (Y/N) I'm a man of harmony. I prefer no blood be shed today" he tries to persuade me and I know it's all just a damn bait... Well , I would entertain this bastard for a last time.

I calmly walk out of my hiding spot. His grunts tensed up and brought the aims on me. Roman put up his hand signalling his grunts to ease up. 'Let's see... 6 at east , 8 at west , currently 3 are surrounding him , at his back there's 4. 21 huh? Wait , he is too confident for someone with less than 2 dozen small time criminals. Maybe..' from my eyes tail I can make out a figure at the top of building 'sniper' I figured out. 'Now should I do what.' I'm currently doing imaginary simulation and calculating my percentage of winning this fight while carefully choosing my steps towards Roman. I grip my silenced automatic pistol before choosing the best option or should I said the only option I should take.

" Now (Y/N) , you are being oddly careful towards your longtime best friend. I'm hurt , I truely am" He taunted me with innocent voice. I'm not in the mood for exchanging sarcasm so I reply the remarks by glare. " Not a chill guy you are " he conclude. After some steps , now the sniper are on clear path for my bullet to travel. It's now or never!

Handling my gun , I shot down the sniper. The pistol produce small sound as the bullet travel through the silencer towards the waiting sniper. This of course, alerts the grunts in front of me , Roman included. Ah , his face at that times are like a sweet to my eyes. Redirecting my pistol toward grunts direction and mostly Roman , I pulled the trigger focusing on taking down as much. The sneaky cane user bastard use one of the grunts body as body shell. At the end , I manage to empty my last magazine while taking down 10 of the grunts. Interesting feat I would say but nothing's new.

Unfazed by their friends death , or just out of pure idiocy, they shoot their weapon at me. I equip my katana that I carries on my back and parries all of the bullets. Some of the bullets are deflected toward assailant and some of them were cut down. Readying my stance , I sprint toward them cutting down projectiles and some grunts in the process.

-timeskip-

Filled with bruises and cut , possibly bullet. I staggers towards the king pin. " Impressive , you still manage to stand after taking bullet to the knee" He stated "Ha , maybe I can tell my grandchildrens I used to be underworld renowned assassin until I caught a bullet in my knee" I jokes " it's a fool's dream. Unfortunately for you , I need to end you now" "Oh you are approaching me? Instead of getting away like someone intelligent you want me to shove that cane up your ass." "That's weird and probably kind of gay.." "like someone wise once said, if there's a hole THERE'S A WAY" We jump sprint and clash blades.
