Torn apart

Only one place was left to search Huan and Xiao rushed at the same time towards the rooftop.

The door of the rooftop crashed open revealing the malevolent figure creeping around the tied figure of Huan Jing's bestfriend.

Li Wei was struggling to loose herself and the malevolent figure was having the chill time,singing the spine shivering song.

The figure was engulfed in darkness,all that can be seen due to the moonlight was her slight smirk.

Huan Jing and Xiao both took slow careful steps towards Li Wei,"We can sort it out if something's your problem but if its rivalry then I might just kill you!"

"Who's talking ? Oh look it's the Mafia Prodigy Huan Jing, but Mr.Huan it's not you but me with your life in my hands.....

If I were you,I wouldn't threaten or take another step!"

Huan Jing and xiao stopped moving forward,"Reveal yourself,what do you want ?"

"What is there to reveal ? You already know me!"

"Whatever it is, leave Li Wei and talk to me one on one!"

"What is there to talk about ? I already gave you the choice at first and you failed at that too...…. I don't change my mind, and one should always stick to the real deal! I even gave you a hint in the song I was singing! But you're so ...…aah leave it!"

"Who are you?"

No answer could be heard from the shadow figure,the only thing that could be heard was the steps of the shadow figure encircling Li Wei.

Huan Jing and xiao slowly started approaching again and clashhhhh! An ear wrenching weapon was unsheathed,it was a sword. The sword glinted its glistening body in the dark. Xiao and Huan exchanged glances as they got reminded of the incident in the abandoned alley and they understood that this shadow figure is the same person from there.

Huan Jing's fists clenched, his desperation fuelling his resolve. "Let her go! Don't involve her."

The shadow figure's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Ah, the mighty Huan Jing reduced to begging.

How poetic."

Ignoring the taunts taunts, Huan Jing took a cautious step forward. "You want revenge?

Take it out on me. Let my sister go. She's innocent in all of this."

"Xiao….stop sending signals of emergency through your wristwatch!!!! Nothing would work! Your system…..is….hacked!" The shadow figure chuckled as she lifted the weapon to Li Wei's neck.

"Don't take another step or you might take one more to have a clear view at the masterpiece I'm going to create out of your sister!"

"Begging will suit you Huan Jing!" The shadow figure said as she held the corner of the chair Li Wei was tied to.

"Leave her...."

"Hmmmm?"

"Leave her....please !"Tensed,tear filled eyes of Huan met with shivering Li Wei who was looking at her brother with all the admiration she could ever had….she knew it was her last moment.

"Mercy doesn't exist in my world Huan Jing, it's too late for you!"

And in a flick of second the sword clashed with Li Wei's neck and slash slash slash another quick seven to eight clashes of sword could be heard.Li Wei slumped forward, her eyes wide with shock before they dulled. Huan Jing's heart shuddered as he quickly ran towards his sister trying to grab her away from the shadow figure but the figure was quick enough to drag the chair away and reach towards the corner of the rooftop. The weight of the situation crashed down on Huan Jing's heart and mind.

Xiao already took out his gun pointing towards the shadow figure,"Leave Madam Li right now!"

The shadow figure looked like it was sliding something on Li Wei's figure with a sinister smile on her face which was the only thing visible in the darkness due to moonlight.

Huan Jing collapsed to his knees, his world shattering around him. He had failed to save the one person who meant everything to him. The figure untied Li Wei's body and it collapsed, Huan Jing quickly held it in his hand. Tears streamed down Huan Jing's face as he cradled Li Wei's lifeless form in his arms. In that moment, all he felt was an overwhelming sense of loss and guilt for not being able to protect her when she needed him the most.

The shadow figure lifted its face and the silver mask on her upper face glistened in the moonlight, Xiao's eyes were filled with rage and in a split second, he pulled the trigger, the gunshot echoing in the darkness but the figure dodged it as it was nothing.

Xiao's blood enraged he lifted his hand to pull the trigger again but the figure threw a sinister smirk and stepped backwards towards the corner of rooftop and fell down backwards.

Xiao rushed to see down the rooftop, it was a tall mansion and she fell backward down just like that with a smile. When he looked down there was no one to be seen and after that the lights on the rooftop flicked on. Li Wei's lifeless pale body could be seen and the other thing that could be seen were the flowers engraved on the several cuts made by the shadow figure. It was gross,painful and heart wrenching for Huan Jing, he lifted his hands to touch the flower's and remove them but he stopped in the midway. More tears flowing down from his eyes as the painful cuts filled with flowers came visible to his eyes and the words that the shadow figure said echoed in his mind, "Don't take another step or you might take one more to have a clear view at the masterpiece I'm going to create out of your sister!"

It was torturing, immensely torturing for his sister and for Huan Jing.

Xiao rushed towards Huan Jing to console him.

The party of lights turned to a funeral of a light.

The funeral ended but the mourning and brokenness inside Huan Jing never ended, his world was torn apart when his sister was killed, he laid out all his men in the whole city and in the whole China too when he returned. Huan Jing searched for the shadow figure at every possible place as if he was emptying water bottles, hired more lawyers so he can review over and over every shadow killer's case, spied over his enemies and even massacred many of his enemies, hired more men's and thoroughed his search, the passion to avenge his sister took over Huan Jing, month passed but all Huan Jing could get was failure.

Never in his life had he encountered such a situation,never in his life he felt so powerless and never in his life he failed this badly.

When a person is used to winning,the failure hits hard!
