"Argh!" A cry of pain erupted from Hong Liu and Hong Cheng.
Everyone turned and looked in their direction.
The shadow had sneaked up from behind and turned into a dark human figure.
The figure's hands came out from behind and ripped through Hong Liu and Hong Cheng's chests.
Grasped tightly within the fingers were Hong Liu and Hong Cheng's hearts, still beating.
But their owners were now dead as they twitched and gave out a spasm before their last breaths.
Soon after, the hands dropped the hearts and pulled out of Hong Liu and Hong Cheng's bodies.
"Think you can stop me? The Assassin Tower has never failed."
The dark figure spoke in a high-pitched voice, and before the others could do anything, the dark figure dissolved like ice melting under the bright sun.
Turning back into the shadows and disappearing.
Chaos reigned inside the Hong Family Mansion.
The servants and house guards couldn't stop the assassins' slaughter.
