Chapter 72: Wow. Such a boy scout
Despite her high position and status, Hera faced many assassination attempts. Even though the organization was mainly a group of the top assassins in the underground, many still aimed for her head. That was the underground. It was twisted and hellish; people had no fear, to the point it was foolish.
Although most of the assassination attempts failed, there were those rare times they nearly succeeded in taking her head. Hera could remember all of those assassins because she recognized their talents and skills despite attempting to kill her.

Heaven casually looked around, keeping an oblivious countenance to not alert anyone if someone was watching her. She only did it once, and she could tell that there was only one entry and exit here. That was the enclosed room leading to this outdoor space on the roof deck.
’It’s possible that he or she left before I came here,’ she thought, planting her hands on the armrest to push herself up. ’Or this person hid somewhere here.’
She marched toward the high railing, leaning her arms against it. As the night breeze kissed her face, Heaven maintained a sharp look.
’This reminds me of that time my mother told me to never turn my back on the night.’ Heaven closed her eyes ever so slowly, breathing in the air as she felt this calmness within. ’However, to lure out the rat, one must leave the cheese unguarded.’
