THE STRONGEST ASSASSIN

CHAPTER 1

Rain fell heavily across the city.

Deep inside the underground world, one name alone was enough to make even professional killers tremble in fear.

Mr Sung.

The Ghost of Death.

The strongest assassin alive.

No mission ever failed under his hands.

No enemy escaped him.

Inside a dark building, several assassins stood nervously around a large table while Boss Yuno smoked quietly.

One assassin spoke carefully.

“Boss… our men failed again.”

Boss Yuno remained silent.

Another assassin swallowed nervously.

“It was Mr Sung.”

The room instantly became tense.

Even hearing that name created fear.

Boss Yuno slowly crushed his cigarette.

“That monster again…”

Meanwhile—

Far away from the darkness of the assassin world, Mr Sung sat peacefully inside his home.

For once, he was not holding a weapon.

He was holding his daughter.

Little Mai laughed happily in his arms.

“Daddy! Again!”

Mr Sung smiled softly and lifted her into the air.

Mrs Sung laughed from the kitchen.

“You spoil her too much.”

Ten-year-old Jinwoo sat on the floor eating snacks while watching television.

“This house is too noisy,” he complained jokingly.

Mai stuck out her tongue.

“You’re just jealous!”

The entire family laughed together.

For a moment…

Mr Sung forgot he was an assassin.

Here, he was only a father.

Mrs Sung walked over and sat beside him.

“You should leave that dangerous world one day.”

Mr Sung looked at his family quietly.

“I want to.”

Jinwoo looked surprised.

“Really?”

Mr Sung nodded slowly.

“I’m tired of blood.”

But deep inside…

He already knew the assassin world never allowed people to leave peacefully.

And somewhere in the darkness—

Enemies were already coming for him.

CHAPTER 2

THE GIRL NAMED SHIZUKA

Night covered the city quietly.

Inside Yuno Organization headquarters, several assassins knelt before Boss Yuno.

One man stepped forward.

“We finally located Mr Sung’s family.”

Boss Yuno’s eyes darkened.

“So the ghost finally became weak.”

He stood up slowly.

“If we kill his family… we kill the monster.”

Then from the shadows, a young girl stepped forward calmly.

Beautiful.

Cold.

Dangerous.

Her name was Shizuka.

Only seventeen years old.

Yet already feared by experienced assassins.

Boss Yuno looked at her.

“Shizuka.”

“Yes, boss.”

“You will lead tonight’s mission.”

Without emotion, she nodded.

“As you wish.”

Boss Yuno smiled darkly.

“Leave nobody alive.”

Later that night—

The Sung family continued laughing together inside their house.

Mai climbed onto Jinwoo’s back while Mrs Sung prepared food.

Mr Sung relaxed on the couch peacefully.

Then suddenly—

Shizuka appeared outside the window silently watching them.

For a brief moment…

She froze.

The family looked happy.

Warm.

Normal.

Something she never had.

But the feeling disappeared quickly.

An assassin beside her whispered,

“Should we attack now?”

Shizuka’s eyes became cold again.

“Yes.”

Inside the house, Mr Sung suddenly felt something strange.

Danger.

His assassin instincts activated immediately.

He slowly stood up.

Jinwoo looked confused.

“Dad?”

Mr Sung’s eyes narrowed toward the door.

Then—

BOOM!!!

The front door exploded open.

Masked assassins stormed into the house.

Mai screamed.

Mrs Sung froze in fear.

Jinwoo stepped back in shock.

And standing in front of the intruders…

Was Shizuka.

Holding a blade.

Her cold eyes staring directly at Mr Sung.

“The Ghost of Death,” she said quietly.

“We finally found you.”
