"You failed." The silhouette of a figure behind the curtain looked relaxed. There isn't a hint of anger or urgency at all in the voice. 

"I almost succeeded. If it wasn't for that man, Jason Guan would be dead by now." The man was kneeling, and then bowing over and over again.

"Please, give me another chance..!" The man begged.

"No..you're probably shocked..I don't blame you..it's your first job after all after leaving the army..." the figure sighed. "I'm sorry, I asked you to do something like that so suddenly..it's my fault.."

"Boss..I'm sorry, I failed you!" The man bowed again, his face reaching the floor. "I will make it up to you. I promise!"

Then the figure sighed then signalled for someone to give the man something. Another man came and put a suitcase beside the kneeling man.

"Take that. Go oversea for a while.. until I call for you again.." the figure said, gently.

"Thank you! Thank you, boss!" The man opened the suitcase and his eyes went huge as he saw that it's filled with money, and was quick to his feet after grabbing the suitcase.

"Thank you boss!!! Thank you!!" The man scrambled to the door, taking the suitcase with him. "I will do everything you say! I will not let you down again after this!!" He said before going out.

"Yes, I know."the figure smiled gently and nodded.

No sooner that the man walked out if the room, the figure moved, signaling to someone else, who'd been hiding behind the curtain to come out.

"Follow him. Let him enjoy life.." the figure said with voice so soft and so gentle it could melt the heart. "Then..help him disappear. Permanently."

"Yes, your grace."

"Another thing." The figure stood up, "the man who had saved Jason Guan; Find out about him. And his connection with Caleb Wang." The figure instructed with the same gentle voice.

"Right away. Your grace." The man bowed then walked away through the back door.

"I'm sleepy.." The figure yawned, looked at the time, "it's past my bedtime..Oh, well.."
