She wasn't a damsel in distress. She wasn't one to need anyone. She wasn't one to be protected.

He wasn't innocent by any means. He wasn't one to trust easily. He wasn't one to back down.

She was the "Silent Killer" that comes at night to drain the life of those who crossed the line.

He was the ruthless "Grim Reaper" that takes the lives of the undeserving.

Shen Yue had a glint in her eye.

The cowering man in front of her was making her sleepy. He was constantly begging 'please' or 'don't kill me' every second. It was gyrating on her nerves.

She thought it was going to be a boring night. It was.

It was going to be an easy in, easy out. But the man just so happened to wake up to go to the bathroom.

So she waited.

She lounged on the arm chair waiting for his return. He didn't notice her right away, but when he did, he jumped and went to attack her. But she was fast.

It was a good thing the man lived alone.

Shen Yue was contemplating on using a gun or her knife. But with this man's stupid pleas, she was definitely choosing the gun, if only to shut him up sooner.

She never says a word during the 'assignments' she'd be sent to. She always covered her face with a mask and tied her hair back and wore a cap.

She threw a knife at the man, the knife missing just a few millimeters to prevent castration. It served its purpose though. The man ceased his nonsense gibbers.

Shen Yue hated being late.

She looked at her watch to see it was quarter to eleven. She wasted too much time as it was. It was time to finish the job she came here for.

She cocked her gun and aimed to shoot the man straight through his skull. She tilted her head and smiled behind her mask. Bang.

She slipped out of the window just like how she came in.

Swift and silent. Only the moon knew she was there.

Dylan winced as the tied up man screamed bloody murder.

He hated screamers.

He knew this assignment was going to be as easy as the last one. But of course, not everything goes as smoothly as he would have liked.

He could have shot the man and be done with it but he wasn't called the ruthless "Grim Reaper" for nothing.

"闭嘴 (Bì zuǐ, Shut up)!" Dylan snapped and shot the man twice on the leg, close to his family jewels.

The man was rendered to a moaning mess from the pain. He was already battered from the beating he took from Dylan earlier. But he just had to start screaming.

"Mr. Yan, you know what happens to those who cross us, yes? I know you're not that stupid." Dylan tsk'ed as he circled the tied up man on the basement floor. "You shouldn't have tried to run away with the money."
