Midnight at half-past one……

  All the cameras in the corridor and around the girl's dorm suddenly went off along with the lights.

  A few men dressed in black climbed over the wall and slowly made their way inside the dorm.

  Sensing some moments outside the dorm, the female hostel warden stepped out intending to take a look outside but as soon as she stepped out, she was struck with a palm behind her neck, and the next moment she lost her consciousness and fell down.

  Dragging the woman's body, the assassins dumped it at a corner before making their way inside cautiously.

  There were a few hostel wardens on every floor, guarding the corridor. a few were asleep at a corner while a few kept watching at the other side.

  Since empire high was a prestigious school where most of the students attending belong to wealthy families, the school prioritized their safety the most.

  Hence, every employee here was selected strictly. The wardens and security guards were those who were specially trained in martial arts so that they could look after the kids' safety.

  But in front of these skilled assassins who were trained to kill, these martial artists were nothing.

  After clearing the ground floor, the group of assassins made their way upstairs, to the fifth floor.

  While a few made their way upstairs through the elevator, two assassins made their way upstairs through the elevator.

  Once the elevator reached the fifth floor, it made a 'ding', attracting the attention of the warden who was guarding the floor.

  Curious, just as the warden stepped forward to look inside the elevator, a black figure appeared out of nowhere, and before the warden could take a glimpse of the person, his eyes were suddenly covered by black gloves. Startled, just as the warden opened her mouth to scream, a handkerchief was forcefully stuffed to her nose.

  As soon as she inhaled the air, she felt her consciousness slowly drift away.

  Seeing the warden fall, the two assassins exchanged a glance before making their way to the other end of the corridor.

  Reaching the end, the assassins peeked to check the number of wardens guarding the floor.

  Since most of the girls staying at and above the fifth floor were those that belong to influential families standing at the higher position, the school paid an extra layer of attention to these young ones hence the number of wardens present on the upper floors was thrice that of other floors.

  After checking around, the assassins confirmed that there were around six wardens guarding the floor.

  Since it was impossible to take care of the few wardens without alarming the securities, the assassin could only use the smoke bomb that they had purchased from the underground.

  Unlike other smoke bombs, the has produced by this smoke bomb was colorless and the gas was mixed with ingredients that could make the enemies faint once the gas was inhaled.

  Pulling the string, one of the assassins knelt down and rolled the bomb towards the other end slowly.

  After rolling the bomb, both the assassins hurriedly covered their nose.

  Meanwhile, the wardens weren't lucky enough. Before they could notice the bomb, they felt their head spin and one by one all the six wardens fell down on the floor one by one.

  After confirming that the scene was cleared, the assassin informed his other teammates. After receiving an affirmation from the other end, the two assassins made their way towards the room where their target was currently resting at.

  Grabbing the keys that they had picked from the guard, the assassin slowly unlocked the door and made their way inside the room carefully.

  Inside the room, seemingly having a sweet dream, Sia had a sweet smile on her face as she hugged her pillow to sleep.

  But just as she was in the middle of her dream, she was woken up when she heard the door to their room open from outside.

  Furrowing her brows, Sia did not move immediately instead she waited patiently to see what the intruder was up to.

  Closing her eyes she pretended to sleep while paying close attention to the assassin's movement to see who were they targeting at.

  As Sia listened, she felt the assassin's breath moving closer to her bed, confirming that she was the target.

  On the other hand, not knowing that Sia had woken up, the assassin leading at the front pulled his knife raised his hand up, preparing to stab Sia and kill her at once.

  But before he could take action, the assassin behind suddenly stopped him.

  When the first assassin turned around to look at his companion, he saw the latter listening to his microphone.

  After accepting the order, the assassin looked up at his companion and said "Don't kill her now. The other party has suddenly changed his mind. He doesn't want to kill her. Let's get her out first"

  "Fine" though displeased, the assassin still agreed coldly before putting his knife back into his pocket instead he pulled a handkerchief that was sprayed with knock-off drug and placed it in front of Sia's nose for a few seconds. Putting the kerchief back into his pocket, he signaled the other person to carry her before he turned around to walk away.

  Just as the two assassins were about to walk away, Xiao Li who was awoken raised from her bed and looked up.

  Seeing two men carrying Sia behind her back, Xiao Li was shocked and she hurriedly tried to grab her phone to make an emergency call but before she could even unlock her phone, she was slapped behind her neck and the next moment Xiao Li felt her consciousness darken and her body fell backward. Frustrated, the assassin turned to the other party and asked coldly "What to do with her?"

  After some thought, the assassin glanced at Xiao Li and said "Pick her up, she has already seen our face, and leaving her would do no good. We can just deal with her later once we are done with the mission"

  hearing that, the other assassin turned to Xiao Li and cursed "Tsk, troublesome" With that said, he picked Xiao Li and put her on his shoulder harshly, and walked out of the room.

  Behind them, the other assassin followed after carrying Sia on his shoulder.

  Unknown to the two assassins, Sia who was initially pretending to sleep suddenly opened her eyes and a cold light flashed on her face.

  flicking her fingers, a slim and small smartphone that was as small as half of a thumb appeared between her fingers.

  Pressing the power button four times, a cold smile appeared on her face.

  hiding the smartphone between her fist, Sia once again got into her acting mood.

  'Looks like I'm going to have some fun tonight!'
