Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

The assassin then vanished without a trace, silently infiltrating the villa. She quickly located the target's room, pressed her ear against the door, and listened for any movements inside.

Good, she's already asleep.

I reached out and tried to turn the doorknob, and found that the other person hadn't locked the door and easily turned it open.

Upon entering the room, my gaze fell upon the bed not far away, where the beautiful woman with green hair lay quietly asleep, curled up and hugging the blanket, a far cry from her elegance during the day.

It's more accurate to say it seems a bit childish.

Yes, it's somewhat real and cute.

but.

(And she couldn't show any mercy.) The assassin held her breath, approached the bedside, and drew her katana from her waist, its blade reflecting a cold, gleaming light.

Then, without hesitation, he thrust his sword into the beautiful body on the bed.

Chapter 76

Sakura, what do you take life for?

The blade flashed coldly and fell silently.

However, just as she was about to finish reaping the lives of the assassins, the green-haired beauty in her sleep suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and turned to look at the assassin.

But it was too late.

The swung blade came incredibly close to the legendary instantaneous state, an unavoidable strike.

Yes, it's an absolute kill.

The cold blade pierced through the full chest and into the beating heart, then she reached out and grasped the green-haired beauty's mouth.

"...I'm sorry." The assassin whispered an apology to Mebius, then covered the green-haired beauty's mouth even tighter, patiently waiting for her target's life to slip away.

Although the target of the assassination was a beauty, with top-notch looks and temperament, she could easily become a big star.

It is such a pity that such a beautiful woman's life has withered away. At least, before killing her... we shouldn't waste her life.

However, for her, the most important thing for an assassin is decisiveness. She must eliminate external interference and never hesitate, no matter how beautiful or how hard it is to kill someone.

This is why she is able to approach the realm of instantaneous enlightenment, and why she is invincible.

With a clear mind, one wields the sword with divine skill.

but.

"..." Mebius didn't struggle, calmly watching the pink-haired girl who had stabbed her and was covering her mouth.

The atmosphere gradually became eerie.

(Why isn't she dead yet?) The assassin looked at the green-haired beauty lying obediently on the bed, letting her cover her mouth.

Who could be stabbed in the heart and still remain so calm, looking at her with such innocence?

Could it be that the heart is located on the right side?

Without a second thought, he drew his knife and stabbed it into the other side of his chest. The blade pierced through his chest and reached his vulnerable heart.

This time, he should be dead.

"Hmm." Mebius frowned slightly in exasperation, raised his hand and patted the assassin's hand, signaling her to remove it.

However, the assassin ignored her, silently staring at her target and waiting for him to die.

Humans cannot survive having their hearts pierced; this is an ironclad rule, at least in this day and age.

Unless, of course, you are dealing with something inhuman.

"It's so uncomfortable not being able to talk," Mebius said impatiently, reaching out to pull away the hand covering her mouth.

The pink-haired assassin reacted even more violently, jumping back with a horrified expression and assuming a defensive stance with her katana.

What kind of monster is this? Why is it unharmed even after being stabbed in the heart, and why doesn't it show any emotion that could be described as murderous intent towards her?

No, there was still some emotion; those emerald green eyes in the dim light revealed a hint of interest.

It gives you a sense of looking down from above.

"Who exactly are you?" The assassin looked wary, ready to abandon the mission. She was indeed an assassin... and very dedicated, but that was only true when the target was a human.

"You come to kill me, don't you even know who I am?" Mebius showed a hint of pain, touching her chest where the blade had pierced her. After gaining a spirit, her healing ability became exceptionally strong. Not to mention being pierced through the chest by a blade, even having her head cut off could not kill her.

At least for now, with Sakura's power, it is absolutely impossible to take her life; the difference in their life levels is simply too great.

That was a perception that skill could no longer compensate for.

"All I need to do is figure out who I need to kill." The assassin shook her head, her gaze falling on the window beside her, preparing to leave, even though the other party might not let her have her way.

"Miss Sakura, are you trying to run away?" Möbius suddenly called out to her. "You're not alone, are you?"

"..." The assassin... no, it should be Sakura. She gave up the idea of ​​retreating and looked at the green-haired beauty with a wicked smile. The other party's gentle and tolerant temperament had completely disappeared.

It has been replaced by a colder and more dangerous aura.

"Who exactly are you?" She raised her hand to the blade at her waist, preparing to fight with all her might.

Now that her identity has been exposed, she has no choice but to kill the other party to prevent them from retaliating against her family afterward.

We must kill them, at all costs.

"You seem afraid?" Möbius chuckled. "You're the one who came to kill me, yet you're afraid of me instead?"

She stood before Sakura, ignoring the sword strike that was about to be unleashed at any moment, a strike that was infinitely close to the instantaneous realm of life.

"Let's make a deal. You killed me twice, so it's reasonable for you to owe me two lives, right?"

Sakura fell silent, unsure of what the other person was thinking, but she had no choice but to be patient and listen to what they had to say.

"Come sit down, let's talk slowly." Möbius patted the bedside. "Don't be nervous, I quite like you."

"Let's talk like this," Sakura said coldly. She was unwilling to get close to the monster who had been stabbed in the heart but was completely unaffected.

If you get too close, you might get completely devoured.

“You killed me twice, so your life is now mine,” Möbius said nonchalantly. “From tonight onwards, you will work for me until you have repaid me for both of my lives.”

"How do you want to repay me?" Sakura asked directly. The other party clearly had her cornered. She even suspected that this assassination attempt was a plan initiated by the other party to lure her here.

However, this idea was quickly abandoned, if the other party had the ability to interfere with the organization.

They could simply recruit her to work for them.

“Only life can be compared to life.” Möbius brushed a strand of hair behind his ear and said very naturally, “Or, you can give me two children, and that will be your repayment of two lives.”

stunned.

"..." Sakura felt her brain stop working. She wondered if she had misheard.

So this is how you repay two lives?

"Is life measured in this way?" Her voice was a little hoarse. "Do you have any other way to repay this debt?"

"Sakura, what do you take your life for?!" Mebius's delicate face was very serious.

"..." Sakura remained silent. She felt as if she had said something wrong, yet she also felt as if she hadn't said anything wrong.

In short, my mind feels completely chaotic.

“The only other way is for you to serve me for the rest of your life.” Möbius shook his head. “Of course, I will take care of completely getting rid of the organization’s entanglements for you, and provide you with enough money to live comfortably.”

“That’s not easy.” Sakura tried her best to remain calm, staring intently at Möbius as she asked again, “Who exactly are you?”

"Is it because my temperament is so different?" Mebius touched his face, stood up and walked towards the dressing table.

To be honest, Vilvi's makeup skills are somewhat amazing. She simply changed her hairstyle and outfit, but it was impossible to associate her with the existence of "Mebius".

She had a feeling that Virvi was using some kind of advanced technology behind her back.

Meanwhile, Sakura watched as a gentle and tolerant wife slowly transformed into someone else.

"Mébius, it's you." Her voice couldn't remain calm; the other person was someone with a bounty on his head worldwide.

Even if she worked her whole life as an assassin, she couldn't earn even a tenth of that huge bounty.

That's a living, breathing gold mine.

"Surprised?" Möbius smiled faintly. "My appearance hasn't changed much, so it's easy to recognize me, isn't it?"

"...That's not the point. The company that issued this assassination order was World Serpent," Sakura said coldly. "Isn't that one of your companies?"

At this point, she became even more suspicious that Mebius had sent her to assassinate him, or that he had secretly planned all of this.

however.

“Who would commission me to assassinate themselves?” Möbius countered. “Or do you think you’re valuable enough to make me risk exposing my identity by having you assassinate me?”

(Indeed, she has a point.) Sakura accepted Mebius's explanation; after all, she was just an assassin, skilled at killing.

Mebius is a figure at the top of society; if you want to motivate her to do something, you can just bribe her.

They wanted to get Mebius to risk exposing his identity by plotting against her, a mere assassin.

It's not worth it, and there's no need for it.
