Chapter 146 - 146 Failed Attempt

Being carried in his arms by Nathan, Kim Eunji gave off a soft giggle as she buried her face on the crook of his neck.

"Where are you bringing me hubby?" Kim Eunji asked him.

"To our honeymoon. I hope you still have the energy left in you wifey." Nathan smiled meaningfully to her.

As soon as they reached the hallway, Kim Eunji asked him to put her down because she wanted to use the bathroom. She felt like her bladder was about to explode.

Nathan obeyed his wife and put her down.

"Are you alright?" Nathan asked her in worry that something must be going on.

"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just that I think I drank a lot of juice that I felt my bladder was about to explode." Kim Eunji didn't want Nathan to worry out of nothing.

"Go ahead. Wait for me in the car." Kim Eunji turned his body facing towards the direction of the exit.

"No. I'm staying. What if you faint and something bad happen to you." Kim Eunji melted as she heard his warm words.

"Nothing will happen to me. I promise. I'm not even drunk."

Just to make sure that she'll be fine, Nathan even led her towards the entrance of the female comfort room.

"I'm here. Now you go." Kim Eunji said.

Though reluctant to leave, Nathan decided to obey his wife.

As soon as she made sure that Nathan was gone...Kim Eunji held on the door knob for support.

She had been feeling dizzy the moment they reached on the hallway.

Kim Eunji didn't want him to worry so she felt the need to send Nathan away.

She also felt like throwing up.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Kim Eunji asked herself.

When she was busy washing her hand, she felt someone's presence on one of the cubicles.

"Show yourself." Kim Eunji spoke calmly despite the fact that she's having a hard time. She felt terrible.

She soon heard foot steps slowly coming behind her.

Kim Eunji turned around and saw someone wearing a black cloak holding a canister on one hand and was about to spray it on her face.

Before the person could even do that, Kim Eunji hit his/her hand and sent the canister flying in the air.

Kim Eunji then took the canister and threw it on one of the empty cubicles.

With her long gown, it was so inconvenient to fight her assailant at the moment. She had no choice but to tear off the hem of her gown making it shorter so she could move comfortably.

She felt sorry for the dress but she had no choice but to do so.

"Who are you?" The interrogation started.

The person then grabbed a knife out of his/her pocket and dashed towards Kim Eunji.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is you're done for tonight!" A robotic voice came out from that person making it hard to determine if it was a she or a he.

Before the assailant could even land a strike, Kim Eunji managed to dodge that and grabbed the person's wrist gripping it firmly.

Using her free hand, Kim Eunji hit the person's shoulder.

The sound of broken bones echoed in the room making the person to groan in pain.

Kim Eunji took advantage of that and pressed the person on the ground.

"Who sent you?!" Kim Eunji asked seriously.

"No one!" The person denied as he struggled to get free from Kim Eunji's subduction.

Kim Eunji was about to remove the hood to uncover him but to her surprise, the man had some tricks on his sleeve.

Using his flexibility, he tried his best to throw a sneaky blow aiming for Kim Eunji's head.

However, Kim Eunji saw that coming and she dodged but the latter managed to hit her shoulder instead.

The attack was indeed strong and it made her dizzier. However, it's not enough to take her down.

Maybe her grip relaxed a bit, the man managed to free himself from her.

Kim Eunji saw that he was limping because of his broken shoulder.

As expected, whoever was this person under the cloak, he's not an ordinary person.

Someone who didn't undergo such rigorous training would faint due to the painful injury she had inflicted on him. Surprisingly, he's still conscious and still managed to stand up.

"No one? I don't believe you. Which group are you from?" Kim Eunji would never believe if he denied his identity to her.

It takes one to recognize your own kind.

"No one."

'Is he a rogue mercenary?' she thought.

There were cases that when a member committed a crime, the faction he/she belonged to could cast him away and ban that person forever from rejoining or reconnecting with their families within the faction.

It's up to the outcast to join other faction or not. However, rogues were often hunted down by their former factions or unions as they were afraid that they would be used against them.

Being an outcast means death. Leaving the faction means death.

Sensing that the man was dangerous, Kim Eunji dared not to relax.

Since his weapon was being thrown away, the man decided to use hand to hand combat.

He threw punches on Kim Eunji but Kim Eunji managed to block them.

Kim Eunji countered attack by throwing a couple of punches to him and some kicks to the side.

He fell down but still managed to stand up.

This surprised Kim Eunji as her attacks may be not her strongest ones but enough to make the person to pass out.

Deciding to end this torture, Kim Eunji gave her final attack by giving him a roundhouse kick hitting the left-side of his neck.

Because of the impact of the hit, the hood slipped off of his head revealing the person's face.

Kim Eunji was right on her guess. With the stance and built, the person behind the cloak was indeed a woman. A teen to be exact. Probably on ages between seventeen to nineteen.

Since her identity was revealed, the latter had no other choice but to attack recklessly.

Garbbing both of her arms, Kim Eunji tried her best to stop her.

Though she had attacked her, Kim Eunji felt like this teen had no other choice but to do so.

Kim Eunji felt like she's seeing the younger version of herself through her.

"Kid...tell me who sent you so I could help you." She said as she pushed the latter on the wall.

"Stop struggling!" Kim Eunji reprimanded.

"I'm not going to tell you!" She was stubborn.

"Whoever sent you mean no good. Do you even know what you're doing?" Kim Eunji felt the urge to lecture her.

"Of course. I've been doing this for a couple of years now. I get their parcel for them, they gave me the money."

"They?...Tell me, who are they?"

"The client. Wait, why am I even talking to you? You're my target." The teen was confused.

She felt like it was a mistake looking at her in the eye.

Little did she knew, Kim Eunji had used her charm towards her.

"Who's the client?"

"As if I would tell you. Kill me! I'm a trash now! I failed because of you! I'm better dead than alive!" The teen bellowed in anger.

"Is it Jin Li Rong and Ling Bao?" She finally decided to drop names making the latter to be silent.

Kim Eunji confirmed her theory because the girl answered her question easily.

"Did you prepare my drinks or was it done by someone else?" Serries of questions were being asked by Kim Eunji to her.

"Druging me is useless." Kim Eunji added.

"Who the hell are you?" Now, it was her who's asking Kim Eunji questions.

"Someone you should not dare to provoke." Kim Eunji's reply brought shivers to her spine.

"How many like you are here?" Kim Eunji asked making her flinched.

"Only me," she said and somehow, Kim Eunji managed to believe her.

"Rogue." Kim Eunji commented which made her to gasp.

"Because I'm considered as one." 'If I'm still alive.' Kim Eunji continued on her head.

"Are you going to kill me now?"

Maybe because she knew she totally failed on her mission and being discovered as a rogue, that's the end for her

Also, rogue mercenaries had this unspoken rules between themselves. If one got recognized by the other, killing one would be necessary to protect yourself.

"No. Why do you think I'll do that to you?"

"The rules."

"F*ck that rules." Kim Eunji hated those rules.

"But you're right, in order for you to continue living, you have to die." Kim Eunji's face darkened and her (teen) body became limp and fell on the ground.

As she fell on the ground, someone kicked the door open.

"Eunji!" Nathan called her in a panic tone.

Kim Eunji who felt like her stomach was not cooperating with her ran towards the toilet and puked there.

Nathan didn't hesitate to walk inside the room to check on his wife.

"Wifey!"
