Chapter 11: The Toothless Lady

Ruiz Plant

In the corridor on the third floor of the factory, scattered and scattered, lying sideways or lying on his stomach, Arno stood in the depths of the corridor, wiping the head of his cane with a white handkerchief, and walked into the workshop on the third floor.

When I walked into the workshop, I saw the dense child labor in the room, and the sound of an adult man urging me could hear in my ears

Every child is so engrossed in their work that they don't dare to wipe it even if sweat drips from their faces.

Because there were seven overseers standing behind them, with whips in their hands, and if anyone stopped what they were doing, the whips would be drawn mercilessly on the children of the laborers!

Arno tucked his handkerchief into his coat, entered the door and stood in the corner of the seven overseers, bent down slightly, buried himself under the work platform, and quickly walked to the nearest overseer.

Arno's Hidden Blade stabbed into the back of one of the Overseers' hearts, and before the Overseer fell, he rushed behind the other Overseer with his back to Arno, and stabbed the Hidden Blade into the back of the Overseer's heart, lifting it up lightly, and then pressing the Overseer's body to the ground.

Arno flicked back his Hidden Blade and looked up, but the other four overseers didn't notice that two of their colleagues were lying on the ground, and the child laborers were still concentrating on their work, even if they heard some movement, they didn't dare to look up.

Arno looked at the two overseers who were standing and talking together in the distance, stepped on the wall beside him twice, grabbed the raised stone bricks on the wall with his left hand, lifted his body with his left hand, and climbed onto the beam.

Arno stepped on the beams of the room and slowly reached the top of the two overseers, jumped down slightly, and threw his cane into the air with his right hand.

"Rub!"

Like a swooping bat, Arno threw out his Hidden Blade with both hands, stabbed the Hidden Blade into the back of the necks of the two Overseers, and pressed the two Overseers to the ground!

One of the other two overseers stood in front of the window and stared at the dark sky in a daze, while the other overseer was leaning against the wall in the distance and taking a nap, the overseer of the window seemed to hear the sound of the two dead overseers falling to the ground, and slowly turned to Arno's side

Arno stood up, raised his left hand, caught the cane that had fallen from above, and drew a throwing knife from his waist with his right hand, and threw it at the overseer standing in front of the windowsill, the knife shuttled in a straight line and stabbed into the overseer's throat.

Arno swapped the cane for his right hand, holding the cane upside down with his right hand and pinching the middle of the cane vigorously.

"Rub!"

A bright sharp blade popped out from the base of the staff, and Arno lifted it.

The overseer, who was leaning against the wall, seemed to sense something, and slowly opened his eyes, and saw Arno in the distance, holding his cane upside down, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Arno aimed for the last overseer, and threw his staff at him

"Poof!"

The tip of the cane slammed into the overseer's chest, and the tip of the cane shot out of the overseer's back, carrying the overseer's body and thrust into the wall behind him

"Ahem!ahem!" The overseer leaned against the wall, looking at the cane with half of his chest submerged, grasping the cane with both hands weakly, opening his mouth wide and gasping for breath, with a slight red as he gasped in and out: "Ahem, help, help me, please......"

The children seemed to have heard the overseer's cries for help, and they were all too familiar with his voice, especially the children he had whipped.

The child laborers finally raised their heads and looked at the place where the cries for help were heard, they were stunned, they had been standing tall in front of them, as if they were nobles, the overseers were nailed to the wall with a cane with an eagle's head, and their once powerful and brutal hands could now only weakly pull the cane in front of their chests, and they soon found that the other overseers had been lying silently on the ground.

Instead of screaming or running around, as Arno had thought, the children began to whisper to each other after a brief moment of surprise.

Arno walked over to the overseer, who was nailed to the wall, out of breath, head down, limp hanging.

Arno put his right hand on the cane, pressed his left hand on the overseer's chest, and pulled out the cane vigorously, the blood spurted out like a fountain, but fortunately Arno dodged it in advance to avoid the blood spraying on his body

At this moment, a little girl with red hair in a single ponytail with a slight curly came out of the children and walked up to Arno.

The little girl's age looks like she should be about 10 years old, although there is some dirt on her face, but it can't hide her delicate goose egg face, she lifts the long skirt with both hands, puts her right foot behind her left foot, bends her legs, bows slightly, and looks up at Arno with big watery eyes, "Thank you, sir!"

Arno saw a missing piece in the row of white teeth in the little girl's mouth: "I think if I heard me correctly? are you thanking me? A butcher who killed a lot of people? Uh, a little lady with a missing tooth?"

The little girl frowned, as if she cared deeply about Arno's teeth, "I don't think a gentleman should do anything to call a lady so rudely!

Arno smiled slightly, stroked his right hand to his chest, raised his left hand holding the cane to the left, put his left leg forward, and bent down: "Then, please accept my sincere apologies, Lady Alice!"

Alice raised her chin slightly: "I accept your apology, so can I tell me what to call you?"

Arno straightened up, "You can call me Arno now, I think, Alice, you are not an ordinary child laborer, I don't think an ordinary child laborer is like you...... So educated. ”

"Maybe it's a secret!" Alice winked playfully at Arno

Arno gently stroked his forehead with his right hand: "Okay, then Ms. Alice, I think you owe me an explanation, why should you thank me?"

Alice kicked the dead overseer on the side: "Maybe to the other citizens, you are a killer, or a terrible butcher, but ......"

Alice turned to the child laborers standing behind: "You are the one who freed us from these damn overseers! a group of unarmed child laborers! You are like a substitute for the Lord in front of us, saving us from despair!"

Arno shook his head, "I'm not the Lord you believe in, I'm an Assassin of the Brotherhood!

Alice turned to look at Arnold with a serious expression and a crisp but powerful voice coming out of her mouth: "Then, I think the assassin will become our new faith!"

The three tenets of the Assassins:

1. Do not do anything that harms the interests of the organization (do not abandon the organization)

2. Don't hurt innocent people

3. Do not reveal your identity

Originally, Arno shouldn't reveal the identity of the assassin in any situation, but this group of children was originally intended to be recruited as assassins, so it was not against the creed
