The assassins took each knife and sliced through the food of several objects in the room before smiling in satisfaction.

Everything was ready.

With that, all 3 assassins packed their few belongings and took the elevator down.

Their thinking was simple.

Right now, they were 90% sure that their target would die by today.

So the moment they killed her, they would flee the empire fast!

Of course, they wouldn't use the Coastal Port since they hadn't booked any Ship Cruises yet.

And, even if they did book one, boarding would take time.

By then, the Baymardians might've already issued a command that no one should leave until the killer was found.

Sure!

They left their swords and other weapons in the Coastal Port when they came in earlier on.

But they decided to abandon those and flee through the Landport A.S.A.P.

With that port, they just needed to check-out and leave.

Things would be faster for them because they were just holding their small backpacks and didn't keep anything in that Port

So they could use fast check-out to leave.

All these had been investigated before today.

Of course, before heading to the Landport, they would throw away all kitchen knives and cutlery in their bags.

.

Well, this was their plan after they successfully killed their target.

But should in case some miracle happened and they didn't end up killing their target, they would just head to any area with a bathroom, change their attire, head back to the hotel and lay low again observing things from the shadows.

This was also why they decided not to check out of their hotel.

So even if they did manage to complete their mission, they'd just leave Baymard without checking out.

Who cares?

All that matters is that they completed their mission and fled the scene before getting caught.

With everything in order, they left the hotel, rode bicycles for a while before dumping them.

From there, they took off the different coloured coats and dumped them in the trash before taking a train to their destination.

They dared not take any bus or train near their hotel because they didn't want anyone to recognize their attire and give out statements that they did see them here earlier on near the hotels.

Plus, the fact that they wore brightly coloured coats when riding their bicycles would make them less suspicious.

Now, even if those on the train recognize their outfits later on, the police would definitely start their search around the place where they took the trains.

But, since they cycled from a completely different sector, the police would just be going on a wild goose chase.

The trio had analyzed and thought of many things thoroughly before today.

That's why they were overly confident about killing Winnie.

.

And just as planned, the trio cycled first for close to 47 minutes before finally secretly taking off their coats, tying them in plastic bags and casually dumping them in the trash as if they were garbage.

No one suspected a thing.

Of course, they also left their bicycles behind, stripped on the sidewalks and took another 15 minutes to get to the train station.

They boarded the trains and left the central region, heading straight for Sector C in the Upper Region.

But from here on out, things would get a whole trickier than before.

They got off the train, took a bus to one of the roads and began re-evaluating and setting things up.

Today, Winnie had just a single class.

And typically, after that class, they headed straight for the government building in this same sector.

One shouldn't forget that she also worked as a health inspector who gave random checks of all Food and beverage industries, companies and establishments here in Baymard.

Be it a restaurant, dinner and even a coffee shop, provided it was a place where food and drinks were made, stored or processed... Mother Winnie's team was there to ensure that no one got food poisoned.

If she wasn't out doing an inspection, she would still go to the government building to sort out all paperwork before heaving to the palace.

According to their investigations, she still has an office in the palace, where she would also hold regular meetings for those who requested an audience with her.

Just like the other Royals, she was swamped too.

.

Anyway, they knew her schedule and found that she typically liked passing through this particular road when leaving the school and heading towards the government building.

Apparently, she likes it because it's less chaotic.

In truth, even they would choose this road too.

Why?

Because there was always traffic on the other one that would take her straight to the Government buildings.

But here, the traffic was never that great.

Sure, there were still several cars on the road, but not as many as the other one.

And, another thing that went in her favour was that she always hurried towards the government building before rush hour.

Traffic was heaviest during the early mornings, noon, 4~5 P.M and 9~10 P.M.

Those were chaotic times when traffic was terribly annoying.

So Mother Winnie always fought to leave the school and make it to the government office before noon.

At least, that's what they knew through their observations, as well as through their investigations.

That said, they would be here to welcome her when she arrives.

The trio scanned their surroundings for a bit, taking note of any possible cops around.

In short, provided they didn't run into these people who had those black sticks, then they would be fine.

Who wanted to get thundered and shook by those tiny sticks?

They heard that some time ago, even the late Alec Barn had been hit by those black sticks.

It's said that he shook so much and fell on the ground, passing out from it all.

Knowing this, they dared not take their chances.

And soon, they saw 3 cars from afar, driving along the road in formation.

Instantly, their eyes lit up.

She was here!

Good.

It was time to begin.
