A few months ago.
Two people were in the Dark Head's room, one of them stood up and held his body with his right hand.
"So..., you're going to carry out a secret assignment from the Chairman, James?" asked the man who stood up, he looked at James' face who was still sitting, from the side. James was looking at the television, his favorite movie was on. A movie about nature and the outdoors. James' eyes were fixed and very interested in the movie.
"Of course, Peter. And, as I said before. After this is over, I will retire."
Peter paused for a moment, still gauging whether James was really telling the truth or if it was a trick. Who wouldn't be tempted to get a high position in the Dark Head? Abundant with money and power, they control the country from behind the scenes. And, why James was convinced to quit.
Those who have become assassins are already bloodied. They thirst for blood for the rest of their lives!
"You still don't believe that I will quit, Peter?" James' face looked at Peter, and he smiled.
"I promise you after this task is done. I will quit, you can be the only assassin who will replace Thomas."
James smiled and turned his gaze to the television again, there was a bird on the screen singing and calling its mate. The wind blew between the tree branches and the two birds looked happy together accompanied by the green panorama around them.
"What's the reason you want to quit, James?" Peter was still probing.
"My body is full of blood, I can't sleep peacefully. I want to quit, and I want to live to enjoy nature. I will disappear after this task is done, I want to enjoy the rest of my life with nature."
Silence! What an absurd excuse.
"That is my promise, Peter. Whether you believe it or not, I will disappear after my duty is done. You can become the head of the Dark Head easily, right?" James' eyes were still looking at the television.
"What do you need, James?"
"Promise me that once you become the leader of Dark Head, stop accepting jobs to kill good people. Promise that you will only accept missions to kill bad guys behind the scenes."
What kind of promise is that? However, if James did not quit his job then only he was worthy of leading Dark Head with all his great abilities.
"Alright, let's make a promise between two assassins who have worked together for years. I'll become the head of Dark Head to fulfill your promise, and you'll go disappear from Dark Head!"
"Deal!" James smiled and took his eyes off the television, looking at Peter once again.
The promise of the two most formidable assassins the Dark Head had. The competition between them to become the leader of the Dark Head ultimately ended with that promise.
***
"Have you forgotten that sacred promise, PETER!"
Wossh!
At that speed, the seven assassin leaders prepared. Shadow Eagle was already two meters in front of them. He used two daggers and spun around trying to attack Peter. Peter sharpened his eyes and parried the spinning attacks of Shadow Eagle's two daggers.
Klang!
Brush!
Peter tried to withstand the fast attack from James, he knew James had excellent speed and attack. He and Peter had trained well together, they had never fought each other because they were assigned to missions, and they were trained with very intense exercises. Their fighting experience was at stake.
Klang!
Klang!
Peter was pushed back, Shadow Eagle's eyes blazing from behind his mask.
"You broke your promise, Peter!"
Brush!
Wosh!
The six assassin leaders from each organization hadn't moved yet, they wanted to see if Peter had any trouble with Shadow Eagle. This was the problem of the two assassins from Dark Head who were settling their personal affairs.
"You ...., why are you still alive!"
Peter tried to retaliate, he pressed his left leg, repelled, and blocked Shadow Eagle's attack.
"It's because you didn't keep your promise! I rose from the dead!"
Wosh!
Klang!
Klang!
The speed of the two assassins was abnormal, they brought out all their abilities. The six people who saw the battle had to be amazed, they were probably at the same level. However, they could feel the domain of killing each other. The killing aura was strong and the two fought tenaciously.
Srak!
Srak!
Both of them were wounded by each other's lacerations.
Klang!
Both of them were knocked back, and both of them were wounded by each other although they were able to avoid but they also suffered some injuries.
"If this continues, we might die together, James!"
"I don't care about death anymore! I just want your life, because you broke your promise!"
Woosh!
Shit!
Peter grumbled, all this time James was Peter's junior. James entered the Dark Head after Peter had been an assassin for over a year. However, all the attention turned towards James because of his ability and good performance.
Peter was jealous, had long been jealous, and finally planned to kill James when James returned from his mission to kill rebels in another country.
Klang!
Klang!
Shadow Eagle continued to bombard with his two daggers.
"Show me your skills, Peter! Kill me one more time!"
"Shit! You're completely crazy James!"
"Why did you kill me, Peter? And why did you break your promise? I will kill you with my own hands! I won't rest until I kill you!"
Klang!
Shadow Eagle's eyes flashed, and he spun his two daggers quickly.
Brush!
Klang!
Shit!
Peter was pushed so hard, that James' attack was really heavy. Peter was struggling and pushed hard, as he sharpened his eyes, James came after him and prepared to kill him.
Damn!
I'm not going to lose, I'm stronger than James!
Peter tried to use the energy in his legs to quickly push off the floor and block James.
Klang!
Klang!
Two daggers stopped a meter in front of Peter, even though Peter had not had time to block James' attack.
Two people were already in front of Peter, they were two assassins who had moved. They could no longer stand idly by, if they let James go too long, then they would also lose their mission to clear the President and Minister. This task must be completed, they must bring success to fulfill the mission of General Bison.
Ruby and Noris, both wielded Ruby's scythe staff and Noris' sword. They held two Shadow Eagle daggers.
[You have 00.30 minutes left to complete the mission]
[Your final task, kill all the assassins in front of you. Total target; 7 assassins]
"So..., it looks like it's going to be a battle of lions with seven cats?"
Bagas grinned from behind his mask.
Good!
"I don't have much time left!"
Woossh!
Bagas retreated by twisting his body, the four people behind him surrounded him with all their weapons. With guns and pistols, Bagas was surrounded with a full round.
"Sorry, Peter! We have no time, we have to divert your personal interests with James. we have a more important mission. Let's finish James quickly!" Noris readied his sword.
"Alright, let's finish off this oversleeping hero right away!"
Tring!
Everyone readied their weapons, surrounded Bagas, and attacked simultaneously.
HIAAAAAAAA!
