《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 16: Killing'em Softly
Advertisement
After telling me of my first assignment Jason passed me a stack of papers of the target.
“These papers contain everything you need to know for your mission.”
“Wait a second, I have to assassinate Joe Doe? I really like his policies.”
“Yeah, he seems like a good politician but what can you do. An assignment is an assignment.”
“I understand, but that really sucks. By the way, why is he the target?”
“A person from old money feels threatened.”
“Dammit.”
“What makes this worse is that his father is closely advising him, so we have no loophole to exploit.”
“Is the guy a puppet?”
“No, he has a real mean streak. His father seeks to keep him in check to the extent that he keeps things from becoming public.”
“So he could be trouble in the future?”
“Yes, he has the potential to be like his father. Just so you know the father is one of the ones that really carries weight in the government.”
With that I am now sneaking into Joe Doe’s townhouse with Jason watching me from afar. I enter through the back door and disable the alarm system. I then activate my goggles and set them to infrared to check to see who is here. I see two heat signatures, one in the bedroom and the other in the study. I deactivate the goggles so as to confirm my target and like I thought he was in the study. When I looked in, he was asleep at his computer.
I creep up behind him, then I covered his mouth and slit his throat. I look at his computer that was on and decide to download all his files just in case I can find something interesting. After a couple of minutes I retrace my steps and leave the house and head back to base.
With this I am truly down the path of villainy.

Disclaimer: Though the book has Xianxia tag there will be no chinese names in the novel because it would be quite idiotic of me to try and use chinese names without understanding what they mean or represent and for that you have my apologies. What this tag represents is that you'll have a working cultivation system, fighting techniques, people on the quest to reach the top of the world, a world built around cultivation. Of course, everything with my own salt and pepper added to it. Hope you won't be veered off right here and will try a different take on the xianxia genre. I can assure you you won't be disappointed.
