The growling and hissing of animals could be heard but that didn't faze the woman in black.

The woman was wearing latex body hugging attire with motto boot. Her eyes were covered with a black mask and her lips in crimson. Her hairs were in a high pony tail.

If you looked closely you could see the cat ears on her head and tail behind her back.

She was blended into the night. The whole road was empty without a human in sight. The only give away of civilization was the well constructed road.

A fast running car came slaying the calm and creep of the night and stopped in front of the woman.

The door of the hot-red Ferrari slid open and the woman stepped inside.

"You look like an a.s.sa.s.sin from 70s." Su Qianwei snickered.

Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes and gave her a once over look.

Su Qianci was wearing a heart-neckline, off shoulder maroon dress with 6 inches heels. Her brunette head portraying her waist length hairs.

Lei Xinyi nodded and smiled sweetly, "And you look like a modern day s.l.u.t."

Su Qianwei opened the inner compartment of the car and took out a folder from it. She threw the folder in Lei Xinyi lap.

"The bio-description and identification of the target."

Lei Xinyi opened the folder to read the soon-to-be-corpse file.

Orphan, been in drugs business, trafficking, rapes, child abuse, the man had a one way ticket to h.e.l.l, literally.

They had nothing to do with it. All their work was to make sure the corpse is delivered to the right address but knowing that you are cleaning filth off the planet helps you with guilt or conscience.

They were trained in killing from miles away so the strength or weaknesses of the man had nothing to do with them but they still studied their targets well, in case.

Su Qinwei started driving the car in a speed that was considered illegal. But then again when do they do anything that is legal?

Lei Xinyi was reading about the man's endeavors when she came across a astonis.h.i.+ng fact.

"He is Viper! Doesn't he used to work for the Lei's?"

"He still does."

Lei Xinyi looked at her incredulously, "So why are you forcing me to kick his bucket?!"

Su Qianwei glanced at her before taking a turn on the road, "We have a suspicion that the Yu's and Li's have info about his a.s.sociation with the Lie's so Yu w.a.n.g will be taking him for investigation soon.

He knows too much. We have to make sure he doesn't tell a tale and only a dead man will tell Yu's no tale... And he was stealing from the cartel so he is of no use anyway."

Loyalty was the price of life in their world. If a person is no more loyal, he is of no use. You can never let a man who worked for you go as they know a lot so you have to dispose of them.

"Why is it important that we kill him like this? Why not just simply poison or shoot him and leave?"

Su Qianwei scoffed, "The b.a.s.t.a.r.d Patriarch want the sh*t to go down like this. About making an example of sort thing.���

Lei Xinyi nodded her head and continued reading the doc.u.ment.

The Patriarch was a psycho lethal and brutal man. He enjoy people pain like real s.a.d.i.s.tic.

At the moment he was in the position of power and messing with him when their lives were already hanging by thin threads wasn't wise.

Su Qianwei worked for him like all the other Lei Family members.

Lei Xinyi used to too but after the incident years ago. She was given a free leash till the next Heirs is p.r.o.nounced.

After the prolonged silence Su Qianwei exhaled loudly and steeled her expression.

"Have you slept with him?"

She questioned still looking at the road. She knew she wouldn't like the answer, no matter what it was but she had to ask. She deserved this much, she had pinned all her life for him.

It wasn't going to be good either way. If he had slept with her and still let her stick around then it meant that he was addicted with what she had to offer and if he hadn't that meant he wanted something more than physical.

In both condition a prospect lover couldn't sit still. It was unsettling as it was.

"No. I would have by now. He tried too many times but you know...."

Su Qianwei nodded her head then closed her eyes to calm her heart. She had to embrace and fight it. Whatever it was it was temporary. Lei Xinyi was temporary.

Li Yaun wouldn't keep her when he will know her truth anyway.

"I doesn't matter. He like to play with his preys. He think you are his fiance so he is prolonging the game or maybe because he wants to get in your pants he is presenting chivalry."

Lei Xinyi thought of playing with her but it wasn't the time nor place. She didn't comment. She didn't know what to say that will not make her a hypocrite.

As they reached their destination Su Qianwei turned the engine off and took out a black mask with silver intricate designs.

The car was parked in a dark alley in front of an illegal bar where many a.s.sa.s.sins and Gangsters came to enjoy alcohol, drugs, women and death-prison-fights.

The Free-Cage alley was a no-go area, a law free zone. If a person was killed in this alley the law isn't accountable for it.

And the people who were killed here even their corpses deserved years of prison time, so the government had turned a blind eye to them.

One less psycho serial killer is always a welcome surprise, anyway.

The place was exclusive to renowned criminals only and only the accomplished ones are allowed in here.

The criminals came here in their disguises to protect their real ident.i.ties.

The Free-cage was a normal strip-club on the front and then there were two underground floors, the casino and the death Arena.

Su Qianwei and Lei Xinyi stood in front of the wooden door at the end of the dark alley and knocked.

On the outside it looked like a normal door but it was a highly protected door. It's locks couldn't be broken even by the best thieves here.

Only the mysterious owner could.

The screen by the door lit and the man asked, "Who are you?"

"Dark Swan and Black Panther." Su Qianwei replied in her deadbeat tone.

Lei Xinyi name here was 'Siren' but she was undercover at the moment. Black Panther was on an a.s.sa.s.sination mission over seas so Lei Xinyi was imposing as her.

Black Panther was a partner. Su Qianwei knew her personally so getting her costume wasn't a tough deal.

"Welcome to the Free-Cage."
