It was the start of a new day. Winter was creeping closer, and the back lawn of Serenity Villa was already covered in frost by morning.

Aspen had almost mastered the art of bone compression, and Andrew was ready to teach her real assassination techniques.

Andrew stood in gloves, his breath turning into mist under the icy wind.

"What two outcomes?" Aspen asked curiously.

Andrew replied, "One, you get killed by the target. Two, you fail and escape immediately, saving yourself before it's too late."

Lauren scoffed. "Well, that's easy then. If the hit fails, you just run. Getting killed by the target? Not even possible! How about that, Andrew? Pretty clever, huh?"

Andrew flicked her forehead hard, making her wince and glare at him pitifully. "If you run into someone way stronger than you, do you think you can still escape after a failed attempt?"
