chapter 1.

*bang* *bang*

a tall and muscular figure stares at the target with dark and murdering gaze as he shot two bullets on the Target's head.

"tsk"

he clicked his tongue and wipped his hands with his handkerchief, which were coverd in blood.

two hours. he was assigned to kill a political leader, who was dealing with some illegal activities while staying in power and using the money of poor peoples.

Basically, his work is spying on the rich aristocrats, who are involved in black market or some illegal things.

but, today his master told him to kill some one. it's been a long time since he did something like that.

The whole room was covered in a terrifying silence which soon got replaced with a phone call.

"Hello" he picked the call.

"Is the mission complete?" a voice came from the other side.

"Yes" his voice was quite heavy and husky as he Replied.

"master Li is asking about u. He asked you to meet him this afternoon".

He just hummed in reply and hang up the call.

~♠️♠️~

The evening was quite cold. Chilled, freezing breeze was running through the trees, as dry golden petals fall down. Running on them, making crunching sounds, a little boy laughed with happiness.

"slow down, kiddo!"

a young man, in his early twenties, walked towards him in speed to catch him. He was wearing white jeans and lime colored, half sleeves t-shirt, looking like a teenager. His brown hair were tied in a low bun, with side bangs. His face was pale like an ill person.

"Cut!"

the director shouted, sitting on his chair. He focused back at the monitor to see again the scene.

The young was too tired, so he just went to a chair, sat down on it and closed his eyes. His whole body was aching while his head was dizzy. He took a long breathe, exhaled back. After a few minutes the dizziness was over.

Even if his body was still aching a little he was still feeling better than before. a calmness took over his whole face and his long eyelashes fluttered. He opened his eyes and looked at the man standing in front of him.

"Are feeling okay, Neo?" the man asked. His eyes were filled with concern and guilt. He was blaming himself for not caring about the younger. He could have just refused the offer, but he didn't. The younger was just back from a surgery, and he asked him to work?. How can he just let him do this. Didn't he just promised him to treat the younger like his own son?.

The younger was aware that this old man will start again blaming himself. But, what can he say. He should be the one to blame because he asked the elder to accept the commercial ad offer.

"don't blame yourself, gege"

"I asked u to accept it, and I'm fine now"

"See" he stood up and started stretching his body, jumping up and down to prove his strength. "Don't jump too much, or you will hurt your stitches" he stopped him.

"Let's go home ge! I'm hungry" Neo started packing his bag. He just tried to change the topic, now he was starving for real. After so many years he was finally back to his hometown.

The elder nodded his head and went to the director room for today's wages.

After that, the two parties went to a small hotpot shop which was near to their home. There were some memories also, connected to this place. Later, when they moved out of the country they missed this place.

They cried with joy as the strong Aroma entered their nostrils. "Oh my dear lord!"

" it still tastes the best" the elder slurped the soup and again cried with pleasure.

"because the elder shao made it!"

the owner of the shop shouted from the kitchen. He used to cook in his old days, later he discharged from his position as chef.

But, today his old customers came again. They used to be his regular customers. He specially remembers the young boy. 'He has grown so much now' he thought,and his eyes turned glossy.

"Grandpa Shao is the best!" the younger laughed.

"Elder Shao is the best!" the elder laughed.

The atmosphere around the shop turned harmonious and warm.
