A high-rise building.
The rooftop.
The Sword Maiden crouched on the railing, playing a handheld console.
As she played, she suddenly raised a hand and snapped her fingers.
A sword flew out from behind her.
Several breaths passed.
The sword flew back with a dead man skewered on it and settled behind her.
Though the man was dead, his body still twitched from time to time.
Without so much as a glance, the Sword Maiden muttered:
"This level is pretty hard... should I look up a walkthrough?"
A whistle came from the void.
Another sword flew out.
Several breaths later.
The sword slowly flew back with a dead man skewered on it.
"Ah-I lost! It's all your fault, always distracting me."
The Sword Maiden angrily put away her console, stood up, and looked toward a certain part of the city.
On a street.
At a restaurant.
Shen Ye's father, Shen Shi'an, and his mother, Zhao Xiaoshang, were eating.
"Shen Ye's grandfather sent some money over."
Zhao Xiaoshang said.
"I know, but I don't want to accept it." Shen Shi'an looked somewhat troubled.
On the street opposite the restaurant.
A Professional drew a pistol from inside his clothes, but before he could do anything-
Whoosh!
A sword pierced his head with lightning speed, carrying his body up into the clouds before slowly descending onto the rooftop of the building opposite.
The Sword Maiden folded her arms, a faint look of puzzlement appearing on her face:
"Strange..."
"Why do so many people want to kill them?"
"Kunlun!"
Kunlun's voice came from her phone. "I'm here."
"Who wants to kill Shen Ye's parents?" the Sword Maiden asked.
"Someone called 'White Horse Society' posted a mission on the dark web to capture or kill Shen Shi'an and Zhao Xiaoshang. The reward is extremely generous,"
