Chapter 17 (1/2)

A little distance from the mansion grounds, there is an intense battle going on.

The killers and the security guards of the Allens are in a state of deadlock.

Both sides cannon fodder or 'Common people without any exceptional qualities' to be precise are in intense deadlock.

Their boss is also in a state of the duel.

The leaders or captain of this guard d group Ron and Derek are fighting five elite killers in the group.

They don't use any big gun, for their battle is fast and any slight delay is enough to kill their opponent.

They only use small pistols or knives at their level in close range.

They are killers, not ninjas who will have in the shadows to deal a deadly blow to their opponent when he least attentive.

Although Derek and Ron surpass their opponents in raw strength and power, their opponents are more trained, experienced and coordinated.

Derek and Ron are two middle-aged men in their thirties which Thomas has picked up from the streets a few years ago.

Derek is a former boxer who has hurt his shoulders in a match. Upon closer inspection, it was found that his shoulder blade is cracked.

It also reduced his punch power drastically. Since then it has become his weakest point and all his opponents target it.

He has a disabled father and younger brother and sisters to take care. His mother served as a maid in another house to make sure they can meet their ends, yet it is bȧrėly done.

To help his family, he is forced to fight in the underground boxing rings.

Thomas at the age of eleven saw his battle. It was intense where he is willing to gamble all. After careful observation and spying, Thomas offered him a job.

Just like Derek, Ron is a thief who stole to help his sick mother and pay for his smart sister studies.

Ron once stole from Thomas. It is difficult to steal from an apprentice mage yet an average human managed to do it.

This made him curious and he followed him. After a couple of days of constant observation, he found Ron two important things. Firstly, he had the ability to be a great ȧssassin, if he wished to.

Secondly, his sister. No, he isn't targeting his sister, not that she isn't beautiful.

She is Helen Moon.

She was 15 at that time and has shown signs of being a great beauty. She has silvery blonde hairs and sharp attractively cold eyes. Her curves are starting to emerge and her bust is also taking shape. She will be a head turner beauty in just a few years.
