Lalisa lived the last three years of her life in the research base that Yerim and Sehun had sold her to.

After basking in her glory for more than six years, Yerim had attracted some negative attractions where some people who needed highly intelligent people to carry out some research.

Yerim had thus been captured and tested, but the people found her IQ unimpressive and released her.

She had however hatched a plan Sehun.

Her experience there had made her alert to danger and she could sense it greatly at the moment.

Instead of moving out, she gently retraced her steps while moving like a nimble cat until she was covered by the shadow of the store.

From here, no one could notice that there was someone there, after all, she was dressed in all black. To make her blend even more, she let down her long and wavy black hair which was packed into a ponytail and used them to cover her white and flawless skin.

Before long, she saw two men come out from an alley that was opposite the store, her brows furrowed as she looked at them intently.

Although they didn't appear frail, one of them was certainly badly injured as he leaned on the other which made their pace slower.

They were both wearing black but where they had come out from made it easy that anyone that was on the street could see them.

Seeing that they were not ones she sensed danger from, Lalisa looked around again, this time carefully, and then she realized why she felt a strong sense of danger. The whole street was full of danger and most of them at strategic positions.

She could see two men on the rooftop above them right where they had come out from while there were two others on the building that was not too far from the store.

The more Lalisa looked around to see, the more she saw and after counting close to ten men, she sighed and gave up.

Out of curiosity, she wanted to see what made these people that had auras like killers gather together here. After all, this time in her life, nothing like this happened.

 As she watched on, she saw all the men from where they had been arranged start moving, each one faster than the other.

Before long, they surrounded the two men that looked like they were struggling to move very fast.

"Who are you and how dare you try and harm our second young master." The man carrying him roared angrily as he tried to move himself to cover the other man.

 For two people alone there was no way he could block all sides alone.

The man that was injured and struggling to stand clenched his fists tightly and then forced himself to stand completely.

"If you don't want to lose your life, I'm giving you a chance to go back and tell whoever sent you that the mission was a failed one." Although he was injured, his voice was firm and bold.

The men surrounding him sneered.

"With how injured you are, you still try to act as your domineering self?" One of the men was ridiculed while the other ones laughed.

 "What has our second master done that you are hell-bent on killing him?" They had come out as a group of eight just to check somewhere here that was said raw materials. Although they had taken the trip secretly, their team had been ambushed on the way back killing six of their men that used their life to save their young master.

 He had managed to escape unscathed and thought that he could bring his young master away safely. As the weakest of them all he didn't think that he would be able to escape unscathed.

Never would have he thought that they would come here again after they had walked so much.

Even though he had called for backup, their team here was weak, and he wasn't sure if even they would make it before anything happened to their master.

"Just by thinking that only him can rule the capital is enough crime. Or does he think he's invincible and can't be killed?"

Seeing that a big fight might break out, Lalisa knew that she could no longer go home immediately and then stealthily move to where the back of the store was.

 For someone like her, meddling in something that wasn't her business wasn't her style. More importantly, she couldn't fight all of them even though she felt they weren't smart after all, no matter what it was, they needed to leave someone on the rooftops to survey everything that was happening in the vicinity.

"Young master, try to run in the direction of that store, I'll try to stall them." He suggested but the injured man nodded sideways showing he wasn't agreeing with what he thought.

"Try to bring them in that direction." He said, he had seen a girl just now in that place and then watched as she left since he was someone with experience, he could tell that the girl was not someone that had hostility toward them and yet, she still had the ability to move away without the men noticing.

Although the subordinate wasn't sure that was the right thing, he decided he would do that once things get heated. As for Lalisa, since she had no phone, she used the store landline to call the police.

From the discussion she heard, it was clearly an assassination, and if her thoughts were correct, it was probably from some family in the capital. 

The capital was dangerous and yet, it was where things happened, later in her past life, she and Yerim had moved there when the income from her paintings and dress designs had made plenty of money.

What she would not have expected was that while she was trying to sneak out through the back door to pass another route that could take her home, a young man barreled into her.

"Please save me." He muttered and then fell limp in her arms. Although she received serious training later on, her body was still frail here. More importantly, she was not expecting his arrival and so she fell down also.

However, she knew that the people after him could not catch him there otherwise, she would be killed by the association and so hurriedly stood up and dragged his extremely long body into the shop.

 The store was designed in a way that when one entered from the inside. It looked like they could see the back since Auntie Su had only decided to add on a hidden store later on for rare plants.

For flowers that were rare like that, anyone walking in and seeing it was dangerous and so she made it so that the back side of the store was completely hard to notice from the inside.

This particular move was what saved them as the leader of the assassin group had been the man that had entered some minutes back to place the large order.

The moment they noticed that only the subordinate was running, he started to search the area. He had also seen the little girl had closed and walked away earlier and so all he did was run past the store and continued searching.

 As for Lalisa, she was inside the cramped store space as she looked at the man with a flawless appearance that had been knocked out cold in the store with her.

She could still hear footsteps and knew that those people were out there. With an injured knocked outman like him, there was no way she could attempt the escape she had in her mind.

For someone like her who watched her mother heal people and take care of injured all her life, Lalisa had good medical skills and so after a while, she gave up her reluctance and opened the man's coat.

With the heavy scent of blood around him, he was certainly hurt somewhere, and if she allowed him to bleed to his death, only heaven knew what kind of bad Karma would come her way just for that.

 Luckily Auntie Su kept a first-aid kit around and so the moment she undressed him, she got the box and then looked for his injury.

Her brows furrowed the moment she realized he had two gunshots wounds in two areas, one by side of his stomach and one to the shoulder.

For her, something like this wasn't too challenging but the trouble that saving a man like this could bring her was not something she was interested in.

"On the account that you are good looking, I'll do this for you." She muttered with her red lips pulled into a tight pout before starting the treatment.
