Boss: “Alexander, I have a new assignment for you. It comes with... significant risk.”

Alexander (Assaisin) : “Risk doesn’t faze me. What’s the target?”

Boss: “Victor Kade. He possesses documents—sensitive information regarding our operations and connections in the underworld. If he decides to leverage them, he could dismantle our network in just a few days.”

Alexander: “Kade isn’t naive. His security will be formidable. I take it you’re not sending anyone else with me?”

Boss: “This mission demands finesse, not brute force. You’re our best option for getting in without being noticed. Retrieve the files and make sure our involvement remains a secret.”

Alexander: “Consider it handled. But this isn’t a minor job. I’ll need full payment upfront.”

Boss: “You’ll receive your standard fee—plus an additional 50% for the heightened risk. The rest will be paid upon delivery.”

Alexander: “Understood. Where’s the location?”

Boss: “A private estate on the outskirts. You’ll have all the details by morning.”

Alexander: “I’ll reach out once it’s complete.”

Boss: “Excellent. Don’t let us down.”

As Alexander descended into the underground lair, the boss revealed the full story of the criminal.

Victor Kade had once been a bright, ambitious youth from a small, impoverished town where opportunities were few and survival was a constant struggle. His father, a once-prominent engineer, had seen his life dismantled by corrupt officials who seized his patents, leaving the family destitute. This betrayal shattered their lives, plunging them into hardship and filling young Victor with bitterness and resentment. Fueled by a desire to reclaim what was unjustly taken from them, he vowed never to allow anyone to exploit him—or his power—again.

Initially, Victor sought to navigate the legal system. He earned an engineering degree, hoping to climb the corporate ladder and take revenge on the very system that had devastated his family. However, despite his qualifications, he faced relentless obstacles from powerful corporate entities and corrupt officials. The same names that had haunted his father now loomed over him. Frustrated and seething, he began to explore other options.
