In the continent of Trensa, the names "Kiss of Death" and "Bloody Hand" are well known. www.biquge.info But only a small number of high-ranking people in the Thieves' Guild and senior elders knew that these two names were originally just the titles of two thieves.

"Kiss of Death" and "Bloody Hands", they were the same time in the guild. Few people know exactly when the two talented thieves, both rising stars, began to form a close friendship, but it is a fact that they founded the original Assassin Order of the Smiling Tanatos. At a time when the empire was in the midst of an alternation of imperial powers, and the darkness of power and blood required the support of a professional and disciplined Assassin organization, the "Smiling Tanatos" took the opportunity to break away from a multitude of thieves' mercenary organizations, and soon became a large organization independent of the thieves' guild.

But this was all more than 40 years ago, and not many people knew the inside story, but the development after that was well known.

About thirty years ago, the "Smiling Tanatos" split into two factions from within due to disagreements, and in the midst of the factional struggle, the former president, Partridge, quickly became disheartened and retreated. After running away with some of his subordinates, he re-founded the "Kiss of Death" named after his title back then; And the vice president, Kara, was renamed "Bloody Hand" after purging and reorganizing the organization.

People still debate the legitimacy of the two organizations, but the current situation is very clear: the "Bloody Hand" has inherited the tough style and strict discipline of the past, and is still tirelessly setting off a bloody storm on the mainland, and its posture still has the tendency to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future; The "Kiss of Death", which claimed to uphold its original intention and aimed at "doing the right thing for the weak", soon disappeared from the mainland, and only occasional rumors and vague stories circulated in various places.

At the end of the northern plains, deep in the Larlo steppe, lies a deep place hundreds of miles away from the trade routes, but here stands a small town.

This seemingly mundane town is home to Kiss of Death, whose inhabitants are members of the organization and their families. Outsiders would never have imagined that the most secretive assassin organization on the continent was hidden in this small place. Even if someone accidentally strays into this place, no matter how rich his imagination is, it is impossible to associate this life-like out-of-the-world town in front of him with the words "kiss of death".

At this time, on the second floor of the building in the center of the town, an old man in his sixties was reading a book.

"President."

A tall woman pushes the door open and walks into the office, her close-fitting white professional attire showing her status as a secretary.

"How many times have I told you, Shalom. Knock on the door before you come in. Partridge hurriedly closed the notebook and said dissatisfied.

"President, that young lady is clamoring to see you again."

"Ignore me!?"

"As the president's secretary, I really can't think of a reason to knock on the door."

"No, no, no, there are many reasons to think about it."

"That being said, if the chairman has an accident while playing suffocating PLAY, wouldn't it be a dereliction of my duty as a secretary?"

"It's a dereliction of duty for you to have that in mind."

"Anyway, the young lady is downstairs now."

Partridge sighed deeply.

"What about Ciel? The boy brought it back. ”

"His Highness Hill is now cultivating in the mountains."

"This kid has completely forgotten who he is, does he think he is a martial artist somewhere? ...... However, I am also responsible for making it what it is today. ”

"President. His Highness Hill has been in a very low mood since his return this time, do you know what happened? ”

"His expression, you can see the change in his mood." Partridge smiled bitterly, and his expression slowly became serious: "According to the report of the eighth child, there should be some seeds germinating in his heart. ”

"Seeds?" Salom paused: "Isn't that what you've been expecting?" ”

"That being said, no one knows what this seed will grow into." Partridge looked out the window: "It's you, don't you feel melancholy?" The little angel you've always loved may soon become mortal, right? ”

"No matter how His Highness Hill changes, he will be His Highness Hill." Salom said without hesitation: "You seem to have always thought that his heart is a blank sheet of paper, for fear that the slightest mistake will turn into various patterns......"

"Isn't that so?" Partridge thought back to the young man's ignorant appearance, and that face looked like he would be fooled casually.

"Of course not." Salom's answer was resolute: "His Highness Hill is far stronger than you think, and if you really want to compare it, it should be said to be like a crystal. ”

Partridge thought of the similarities between the Crystal and Hill traits, and secretly agreed with Shalom in his heart.

"If you say so, let it be so." Partridge looked up at his secretary: "After all, you were rescued by that kid in the first place, and you are the only one in the entire organization who can read his expression." ”

"What about that young lady? Or let her go back? ”

"No, it's been three days, so why don't you still see each other." Partridge's eyes narrowed slightly: "Even if she is really a spy sent by Kara, she will meet before making a decision." ”

"Understood."

Salom bowed slightly, then turned and walked to the door.

"That's right." His hand was already on the doorknob, but Salom stopped: "Everyone already knows that you are hiding in the office and secretly writing poetry, so you don't have to hide it like this." ”

"Is that you!? You're definitely spreading it, right? Hearing this, Partridge slammed the table and shouted in annoyance.

All he responded to was a slam slamming the door.

Walking down the hallway, Alex couldn't help but look at the tall woman leading the way in front of her.

Alex had just introduced herself downstairs and knew that her name was Salom, the secretary of Kiss of Death president Partridge. The woman looked to be in her mid-twenties, exuding the charm of a mature woman. Pale blonde hair parted from the middle of the forehead and coiled all the way to the back of the neck. From the strictly symmetrical hairstyle design and the secretary's uniform without a single wrinkle on her body, you can see her meticulous character.

Her tall figure and beautiful face do not make Alex ashamed of herself, although she is still a little immature, Alex herself is also a lovely beautiful girl, not to mention that this youth and girlishness can add a lot of points to her. But......

Alex stole a glance at the other's chest—

"What's that shameless boobs!? Is this ethnic? Is it because people on the grassland often consume dairy products that they have such specifications? Then I'm not going to be Nome's man anymore! The girl complained wildly in her heart.

This is not surprising, if you see the girl's barren chest, you can naturally understand where the resentment in the girl's heart comes from. It was a huge difference between the classes, and the girl was sad at the moment, and there was a sad feeling that she was desperate to appeal to circumstances because she did not want to admit the reality.

While the girl was thinking about the mess, the two had already walked to the door of the office, and when she saw Salom in front of her stop and knock on the wooden door, Alex quickly gathered her mood and stopped.

"President, Miss Alex has already brought it."

"Come in."

A slightly older voice came to her ear, and as she entered the door, Alex looked up and peeked forward, where there sat an old man in good spirits and with a bright eye.

When their eyes met, the old man was resting his head on his crossed hands and looking at her seriously.

The old man's gaze was as sharp as a sword, and thinking of the purpose of coming here, Alex quickly gathered her mind.

"Hello, I want to join the 'Kiss of Death'." She said.
