[ 15 hours before the events of the last chapter. 5:45 AM. Asher's house ]

The sky was painted blue with a plethora of red and orange dripping from the eastern horizon as a huge red bulb peaks from its margin, thus announcing the inauguration of a  number of happenings that are about to set in motion from myriad perspectives which will change Asher's life for good.

Unbeknownst of the inevitable, Asher completed freshening up and began to put his evasion plan in action. 

Being it proven a fact as clear as daylight that escaping the clutches of his pursuers and potential assassins was not going to be possible without initiating a number of events that not only would appear to be coincidental but also able to divert their attention.

Therefore in order to create chaos he started preparing to cause a blackout in the locality.

After incessantly working for four hours nonstop, it was at about 9:45 when he got the message of the headmaster crediting an amount of 35,000 in his account.

Seeing the message he leaned his back on the couch and stretched his arms. Then closing his eyes Asher thought,

" They must be keeping an eye on my every activity they possibly can. 

But I've already booked a cab from Ryu's number and told him to keep his phone off, so they can't trace it immediately. 

Moreover, I gave him my gaming accounts and knowing him as I do that Ryu must be playing in them nonstop the moment he got them and so those bastards will probably take it as me trying to distract them.

So after the blackout I should get a few minutes window to leave but I need to call a transport, let's see what I can do about it."

Since preparations for the blackout was almost over, he got up from the couch and went to prepare some instant noodles to appease his hunger.

While casually eating the noodles, for some unknown reason Asher's eyes went on the fork he was holding and all of a sudden a thought sparked in his mind.

" Hmm, when they fail to catch me, they are sure to come to my house in search of clues and if by any chance I can throw them off track and manage to stall them for a bit then that would be of great advantage to me. Since the more time I get the more odds will be in my favour."

[ At the same time in the house next to Asher's ]

Loralai : Yes, the target is inside his house.

Executive : Where are you keeping watch from in broad daylight?

Loralai : From his neighbouring house, where else?

Executive : What? Are the tenants dwelling there your cousins or something?

Loralai : No. Actually, the ownership rights of the house expired sometime ago." While saying that she glanced on the side to crack a smile by looking at the pale bloody remains of the faces of a young couple and their in laws that were freshly blown away just a few hours earlier.

Executive : Well that's that. But really! Is the devil's eye wearing lenses nowadays? We got a perfect 18 minutes window from the IRADS and you failed in executing a sleeping target.

Loralai : Well Jin, isn't your wife now sleeping in an apartment in 30-10 Dohwa-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, right? It shouldn't take much long to draw a big round red spot between her beautiful pair of eyes, should it?

Executive : Lora! Don't you dare cross the line. If you ever joke about my family again...

Loralai : Then what? Don't worry, I won't ever joke about it again. The next time you hear something like that, I assure you that will be on the news channel.

Executive : Alright, alright, I'm sorry ok. I won't ever dare to threaten you again. But really, how did he manage to remain alive after the shot?

Loralai : That! even I don't know. Either he was born on a garden of four leafed clovers or he is the most trained agent I have ever encountered.

Executive : Are you sure you can succeed in executing the mission then?

Loralai : Last time, I had no idea what I was up against, it was a general assassins failure. This time I will be putting both my name and life on the line. There is no scope of failure.

Executive : But it seems rather unlikely, doesn't it? Don't forget that this time extracting the package is the priority. But with the IRADS keeping a 24/7 surveillance, how will you manage that?

Loralai : You don't have to worry about that, just leave it to the target. The person who is able to evade a bullet from me will never be caught by some 3rd grade IRADS extraction team.

Executive : What, you are betting on the target escaping from the almighty IRADS itself. Isn't that a bit way beyond imagination?

I mean it will take more than one miracle to make that happen?

Loralai : What! you dare doubt my premonitions?

Executive : No, that's not it, but don't forget, this time the orders were more discreet than ever and it was really rather unexpected when the client openly threatened the agency that if his identity leaks out by any chance then he will be putting an end to the Blue Rose itself.

Loralai : Hats off man, hats off. What a courage! How did he manage to not get executed while making the request?

Executive : Well the offer was a hundred thousand.

Loralai : What! in millions?

Executive : No, in billions.

Loralai : Damn the kid's rich.

Executive : What! You know the client? And of all things, he is a kid!

Loralai : No dunce! I'm talking about the target. Your life being priced a hundred thousand in billions I don't think even the presidents of the superpowers have that kind of luxury.

Executive : Can't argue with that.

Loralai : Well who is the agency going to assign the execution of the client to.

Executive : What! you want that?

Loralai : Someone who dares to threaten the Blue Rose on the face while making an execution request, it would be fascinating to see his face when he dies. Don't you think so?

Executive : Don't entangle me in that weird taste of yours. Now, don't be rash. Well, someone who can offer a sum that huge just for the assassination of a 14 year old and threaten the Blue Rose of all, on the face, executing a person like that is not going to be a walk in the park.

[  7 hours later. 4:45 PM. Asher's house ]

After cleaning every single corner of the house along with every furniture, utensils and appliances he had with wet clothes to remove any traces of finger prints, he dissembled his computer. Then after taking out the harddrive and processor from the CPU he packed the whole thing up.

Then sitting beneath a window he held his phone on a selfie stick angling it in such a manner so that he can see the outside view from the camera but no-one from the outside could even see the phone.

The sight on the screen made Asher crack a wicked smile as he thought," Well these three, they have been here all morning. Anyways thanks for lending an extra hand, now it will be way easy to escape."
