Chapter 1: Encounter

It was an evening in July, at seven o'clock, and the light of the sky had not yet faded.

At the summit of Serenity Ridge, in front of an unnamed tombstone, stood Tina Reed in black casual attire. Her delicate face, as if carefully sculpted, was touched by the cool air, "Mom, tomorrow is the day. I've heeded your advice, subdued my edge for ten years, and tomorrow-I will return to the Reed family."

The surroundings were silent, her only response, the bustling wind.

"Bang!"

A loud noise reverberated; Tina turned her head, her enchanting eyes narrowing slightly, then she looked toward the nearby disturbance.

A black sedan was parked there, its body skewed at an odd angle due to a burst tire.

A man in black sportswear emerged from the car, staggering forward as if wounded.

Then, a dozen or so people in black attire followed him.

Jared Farrell looked back, his austere face cloaked in a layer of chill. With one hand clutching his abdomen, his lips were pale.

"Don't bother running. We've paid too much to let you escape," a man in black approached him, the leader exuding an air of deadly calm, his face devoid of emotion.

"Just you?" His eyes narrowed, voice as cold as ice.

Pain in his abdomen was assaulting his brain, and he could feel the blood draining from his body-he wouldn't last much longer.

"Let's see then," said the leader of the men in black, and he attacked.

"Eh?"

At that moment, a stone, seemingly from nowhere, hit the man in black, causing his hands to tremble and his body to kneel on the ground.

The man's face changed drastically as he growled, "Who?"

Tina Reed spoke in a faint voice, devoid of emotion, "You're disturbing my mother's rest."

A dozen gazes turned towards her, all heavy with gravity.
