1 Assassin
1: Chapter 1: Rebirth of the World No. 1 Assassin
“Maria.”
“The eldest daughter of the Roger Family, the top family in the capital! The chairman of the Roger Family Group, one of the top 50 companies in the world!”
“The genius royal princess of Ostania country!”
“Joined an organization ten years ago, became the world’s number one assassin five years ago!”
“Four years ago, became the world’s top medical professor!”
“Three years ago, became the world’s number one hacker on the international rankings!”
“Two years ago, became the champion international race car driver!”
“One year ago, established the Cold Tomb force, defeated the champion of the Southeast Asian martial arts world overnight, and became the leader of the underground world!”.
“…”
“Today, at 3 am, died… died in a plane crash, unexpected death at the age of 19!”
This sudden bad news shocked the world at 9:19 am today in the most sensational way possible.
Maria…
Is dead?
The girl who made the world tremble in fear is dead?
…
“Marie!”
Marie…
Marie…
Who!
Who is calling me?
A pair of ocean blue eyes full of endless killing intent suddenly opened, and the excruciating pain all over her body made the girl unable to help but rub her forehead.
And the next second!
Her gaze collided with a pair of fat hands…
“No! This was not her hand!”
Her hand was slender like a scallion, kept white and long even after years of handling guns…
“Where am I?”
“…Hiss!” A flood of information forcibly attacked her mind filling her head with memories that didn’t belong to her—
“I am Marie! A rebellious girl sent to a juvenile detention center by my parents for stealing…”
She was Marie.
The young Miss of the Lincoln Family in Brooklyn City!
Because of her outstanding appearance and intelligence during childhood, her twin sister Marionette developed deep jealousy and hatred towards her.
To take away their parents’ favor, Marionette framed Marie and turned her into the most disobedient child in the eyes of her parents.
Fighting, skipping classes, early love, stealing, she did it all.
And because of her sister’s instigation, she was sent to a juvenile detention center by her parents for three whole years!
Good, very good!
Marionette, she remembered, she would make her pay for this debt!
“Marie.”
“Your family has come to take you home.”
The administrator’s indifferent voice brought her back to reality.
Her cold eyes began to survey her surroundings.
A shabby and dilapidated supervision room.
A bowl of hot porridge that had just been delivered was placed on the wooden table.
At a glance!
With just one glance, Marie could tell that the porridge was poisoned.
And it was a chronic poison from abroad.
Because the toxins accumulated over the years, the user would become obese all over, with pockmarks on their face, and die within three years!
And today is Marie’s third year in the juvenile detention center!
“It’s now 10 o’clock on August 20th, according to national emergency reports!”
“At 12:03 am yesterday, the private plane HY0921 had an accident and crashed. According to the investigation…”
“The deceased was the First Miss of the Roger Family, the top family in the capital! The youngest chairman of the Roger Family Group, only nineteen years old…”
The news report came from the television in the hall of the juvenile detention center.
Marie turned her head.
Her cold and lifeless eyes fell on the screen, and what she saw was the wreckage of the plane crash.
Four slender young men were flipping through the wreckage with a fierce look, calling out her name over and over again:
“Maria…”
“Don’t be afraid, second brother is here, second brother is here…”
“You won’t die, you won’t leave second brother behind…”
Marie tilted her head slightly, and a ripple crossed her eyes that couldn’t be stirred.
She curled her lips into a cold and distant smile and said lightly:
“Second brother.”
“I’m not dead.”
“Wait for me to come home!”
After speaking, Marie turned around slowly and left the juvenile detention center with her butler who had come to pick her up.
But just as she turned around!
On the TV screen, a figure suddenly appeared near the wreckage, a figure that exuded an air of dominance.
His deep, bottomless eyes looked down at the people frantically searching for Maria’s body in the wreckage.
Suddenly, he placed his hand over his chest and a hint of relief and indulgence flickered in his eyes.
“My heart doesn’t ache.”
“You’re still alive.”
“Being alive is good enough.”
“I finally found you.”
At the Lincoln Family’s residence.
Madam Lincoln sat on the sofa with an unpleasant expression on her face, forcing a smile as she looked at Madam Johnson across from her.
“Oh Mrs. Lincoln, I heard that your eldest daughter Marie was released from juvenile detention. Why didn’t you go pick her up?”
Madam Johnson’s words were clearly intentional!
The Johnson Family was a step above the Lincoln Family, but Lincoln Family’s second daughter
Marionette was more talented and intelligent than her own daughter.
Over the years, Madam Lincoln had stolen a lot of her thunder because her daughter was not as outstanding as Marionette.
But today, she heard that Marie, that waste of space, had been released!
She had come to the Lincoln Family’s residence early in the morning just to taunt Madam Lincoln.
“The butler has already gone to pick her up,”
Madam Lincoln maintained her smile.
“Marionette is about to go to her tutoring class, so I’m afraid I can’t accompany you. How about Madam Johnson…?”
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you,” Madam Johnson smiled and seemed oblivious to the hint of being asked to leave.
“Besides, I haven’t seen Marie in three years.”
“That child was a troublemaker back then, stealing and fighting, and was locked up in a juvenile detention center for three years. I wonder how much she has changed!”
Sarcasm!
It was a naked sarcasm!
Madam Lincoln felt utterly humiliated.
She, who had a beautiful daughter, was being ruined by that waste of space, Marie, in the upper-class society.
“Screech-”
Madam Lincoln heard the faint sound of brakes and quickly got up and left the Lincoln Family gate.
When she saw Marie, who was ugly and fat, Madam Lincoln felt a strong disgust in her eyes.
“Madam, Miss Marie is back.”
Madam Lincoln didn’t even look at Marie, as if she wasn’t her own daughter.
She turned her head slightly and said to the butler, “We have guests at home, so don’t use the front door.”
“Butler, please take Miss in through the back door quickly, don’t let Madam Johnson see her looking like this!”
