"Sir Kim, someone's out there wanting to meet you."

"Who is it?"

"Miss Hwang."

"Let her in, quick!"

"Yes, Sir."

"Look who's here! The legend!" the man said aloud with his arms open slightly wide, 'welcoming' the person whom he had been very looking forward to seeing.

That person, a girl, only walked up closer to the desk where the man was sitting with no responses returned. Only her footsteps were heard.

Feeling a little sense of awkwardness, the man cleared his throat and spoke with a slight smirk, "So, how're things going?"

"He's dead now." said the girl with the coldest tone.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure? What if he made it back aliv—"

"I said I've killed him. Are you doubting my skills?" the piercing eyes stared right through the man sternly, but still remained emotionless. She took out photos of evidence, proving that she had done the mission.

"First bullet in the head, a second bullet in the lung, lastly a stab in the heart. There's never another chance for him to be not dead. "

"HAH!! I knew I could depend on you!" the man said out of joyfulness.

"Job's done. Now give me the money."

"Money? Oh, not so fa—"

The man got cut off when a gun was pulled out of the pocket by the girl, the muzzle pointing directly at the man's head. Shocked and terrified were written all over his face, and he trembled a little.

The guards got alerted and pulled out their guns as well, pointing at the girl to protect their boss. "HEY! PUT THE WEAPON DOWN—"

"Don't!" the man shouted with a hand raised up as a signal. "Do not shoot her. P-Put away all the weapons, boys."

"Hand me the money. Now." the girl gripped the gun tighter.

"Haha... I-I know, I know, you need the money very badly. But there's anoth—"

"STOP THE NONSENSE AND HAND ME THE FUCKING MONEY!" she yelled madly, everyone at the scene jumped in shock.

"Another $10 million will be added for your bounty!" the man said in an instant to hopefully, won't make a scene.

"......" an eyebrow raised slightly when she heard about the increased amount of the bounty, getting interested. The girl went back to speaking with a very indifferent tone after letting out a soft, deep sigh. "What is it."

"A-Another target. $10 million bounty."

"Give me details."

"The daughter of the man who you'd just killed. Lee Chaeryeong."

"I said before, I am not killing any women."

"Why not?"

"This is too personal to answer."

The man chuckled lightly, "Hah, look, I know you need this money. Are they more important or is it the "no-killing-women" rule of yours?"

"I killed Lee Hyun wasn't only just for the money. I, too, have my own personal reasons for why I did that. Her daughter is no harm to me. I would not kill her. Now give me the money."

"$25 million, you sure you're dumping part of the amount away just for that girl's life? Choose wisely, Hwang," he smirked.

"I just need that $15 million. Not more than that."

"I'll reward you another $10 million if you accept the job."

She clenched her fist tightly and became hesitant about whether she should accept it or not. $35 million... That's a huge amount of money there. She thought of her family. "...Deal."

"There, there. Now that's more like it."

"I kill your target, you give the money. This is the last time I'm accepting your job. I'm warning you." her voice went low.

The girl accepted the mission given and left.

"S-Sir, why are you stopping us from protecting you? You were nearly killed."

"You don't understand, Zakruel. She's too dangerous. All of you men are no match for her."

"...You don't wish all of us to lose our heads, do you?"
