Luna
I was ill during these weeks...probably not gonna recharge myself soon. C u later. “Investigate; find out if she has a father named Liam Neeson.” that's kidnappers' routinely pre-work . But what kind of guarantee is that? What if the girl herself is a badass? Less than 1% chance, huh? But when you knock down "Luna" 's door, that 1% nightmare will invade your life, and she will haunt you to death. Year 2033, in Berlin, Germany, Kevi Song is a Chinese immigrant girl living in a Russian refugee slum, roaming the streets and surviving on the cash she can scrounge together by ID dealing. As she has intensive combat training that her father drilled into her as a child, violence became her language. But when she overhears some rumors about her father, who she hasn’t seen in 7 years, she decides to take her chance as returning life back to normal again. Through human intel, she soon discovers her father has been captured by Russian underworld; meanwhile, a mysterious bounty appears to be out on her own head for 1,000,000 euro. Kevi has no idea what her father has done to bring so much danger to their doors, but if she wants to survive, she had better find out fast! Bringing back her intimidating code-name "Luna", Kevi employs every weapon at her disposal. Anyone who stand in her way is implicitly the enemy, whether it be gangsters, the police, or even the European Special Forces. But as Kevi gets closer to finding her father’s assailants, she remains haunted by the most troubling question of all: Father, who the hell are you? *UPDATE 2 chapters per week. Each chapter contains 3 to 5 cases*
