EPISODE 1: NEW MISSION

FLASH BACK. (1 YEAR BEFORE.)

*BANG* *SWISH~*

"The mission is finished, Azel." I said to Azellio while wiping the sweat on my face.

"Great job, Leo. Lets celebrate your 500th body count today! You had a hard time killing that target because he's an ex police officer, so let me treat you" Azellio replied to me softly.

"Really? Dont cry when I empty your wallet and card then!" I said excitedly to Azellio while laughing.

Azellio and Allio dined in a fancy place Allio picked. Allio was really happy when Azellio offered a dinner together because its been a long time since they had a dinner together despite of being a duo because their missions kept them busy. If Allio had only knew that, that was the last time they will see each other, Allio would've take Azellio to dinner everyday despite of having a mission.

"Hmm? Why do you look so sad as if this is the last time we'll see each other, Azel?" I asked him sarcastically.

"Huh? Do I look sad? Prabobly because you have more kills than me Hahaha." He replied while faking his laugh.

"Heeehh~ Joking again? I respond.

"What if I disappear, Leo? Will you be sad?" He said looking straight to me.

"Huh? Why so sudden?" I said having no idea why he is asking that question.

"Uhm... Nevermind. Just eat your food up." He replied with a sad face.

Allio stared at Azel confusedly "Huh? Whats with you? Will I be sad if you disappear.., huh? What are you thinking Azel? Of course I will be sad. You're like a real brother to me. And youre the person I cherished the most in this world. I'd probably wail like a baby if you disappear Haha." I said confidently to Azellio.

Azellio was stunned to hear what Allio said. "pfftkHAHAHAHAHAHA" Azellio laughed.

My eyes widened as Azellio laughed. His laugh is so graceful that I feel really calm and happy. I just found myself laughing as well while staring at him.

"Ahhh~ Im so full." i said while holding my stomach.

"Its because you ate like a pig HAHAHA." Azellio respond while looking at his phone.

"Tch. Im just really hungry, okay?!? Anyways, wait for me here, I'll go to the restroom." I said.

"Hmm. Take your time, Leo...." he respond.

Little did I know... That was the last words he said to me...

END OF FLASH BACK.

*BANG* *SPLASH*

"Mission success, boss." I said coldly to the leader of the assassin guild im in.

*Claps*

"Great job Allio! You never disappoint me. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you had this unbelievable talent!" The boss said that infront of me while giggling after I killed the man he's been eager to get rid of.

"Great job... huh? Thats what Azel always say to me after I finish my mission..." I murmured in my mind while completely ignoring what the leader said.

"ALLIO. ARE YOU LISTENING?" The leader said looking pissed.

"Ahh... Sorry boss, my mind was somewhere else... Could you please repeat what you said.." I immediately replied after coming back to my senses flinching.

The boss was a little displeased by what Allio did. "Sigh.... Never mind that. You will have your next mission now. She is the daughter of big shot. An anonymous requestor put a bounty on her head. The requestor must've hate this girl, it asked to make the girl fall in love to you first before killing it. You have a year to finish it."

Allio was stunned to hear the request. "A year? Thats absurd! Who makes a request something like that? And make the girl fall in love first? Are you shitting with me?" Allio shouted aggressively to his boss while frowning.

"I know it sounds absurd but the bounty you will get is worth it." The boss replied with the tone of manipulation.

"I don't care about the bounty, I will do that task."

"Allio, think of it as a mission to find Azellio. The place I will send you will be far so think of it as a opportunity to find him."

Allio stayed silent for a while. The time he heard Azel's name, he knew that the boss was taking advantage of his weakness. But Allio cannot refuse the sound of mission to find Azel. ".... What's the target's name?" Allio said to his boss reluctantly.

The boss grinned with Allio's response. "Ezrra. Her name is Ezrra Verinn. Don't worry Allio, the girl loves traveling. You just need to follow her everywhere and take that as an opportunity to find Azellio. Kekeke" The bossed giggled. "Now go Allio. Here's her location." The boss said and gave him a piece of information and location of the target.

"Before I go, tell me how much is the bounty."

His boss stopped and and grinned. "$50 Billion and the requestor will add red diamonds if you finish the mission successfully. Isnt it great? That is the rarest diamond that I've been wan-"

"I dont care. I just want to know how much is the bounty for you to push me this hard to this absurd mission. And now I see." Allio said coldly and left.

"Tsk tsk.... How arrogant... I you were not blessed with that talent, that man wouldn't have picked you. Dont worry my dear Allio, I will get rid of you once you finish killing my niece." The boss mumbled and left the place laughing.
