Without giving Elina the chance to talk back Anna knocked her unconscious. 'Sleep for now because later you will face your punishment.' Anna watched Elina's body fall down on the floor.

All Kyle see in Anna right now is that she is full of viciousness. There was no other emotion in her eyes. Kyle felt that this Anna, the one in front of him is a whole new Anna. He does not know this Anna that's in front of him. Very different from the one he knew.

Alexandre cried even more loudly that Anna snapped back and worriedly looked at Alexandre. She then hurriedly went and carefully carried him in her arms. "Alex... please stop crying. Everything's fine now."

Her voice was so gentle that it calmed Alexandre down. He cooed at Anna in a cute way. Anna looked at him and saw a tear in his eyes, she wiped it away and Alexandre giggled.

That sight was very refres.h.i.+ng in Kyle's eyes. Because of that a thought flash through his mind, 'She would a be a great mother in the future. That is for sure.'

"Ion, picked that woman up Alfonso wants to punish her himself." Andrea's voice was heard in the room that Anna and Kyle were in. They were so focused on Alexandre that both of them did not notice that Andrea and the others are already here.

"I have to carry her?" Ion asked. It's clear that Ion does not want to touch Elina. For him, a woman like her is disgusting, full of germs that he does not want.

Andrea frowned at him, "Carry her, drag her, whatever you think is appropriate. Alfonso wants to punish her himself. So... do what you have to do to bring her back to HQ."

After hearing that he could drag her out Ion happily comply and dragged Elina's body out of the building. But before he could even get out of the room Andrea spoke, "Oh... don't forget the man that Anna shot at earlier bring him along too. We need information from both of them." After hearing that Ion groaned. Why does he have to do the heavy lifting? What about the other two male brats? Can't they do it too?

"Good job handling the situation here unlike my own son who messed up the situation over there." When Zen heard that he suddenly got the feeling that he would suffer in the near future in the hands of his mother.

Anna did not say anything and only smiled faintly at Andrea. 'Does that mean I no longer have to prove myself to her? I can stay longer in the organization now?' Those were the questions running inside Anna's mind.

"Even though you did a good job here that doesn't mean I fully accept you, Anna. You need to show more of your ambition of wanting to continue in the organization." The questions she had on her mind were now answered but it was not the answer that she expected. Right now Anna thinks that Andrea is too strict for her own good.

Why did her mother send her anyway? As far as Anna knows her mother has other three more top a.s.sa.s.sins under her. Why not send them instead? Andrea was very challenging for Anna that she thinks that if she accepts more of Andrea's challenge she might go crazy trying to complete that challenge.

When Andrea left the room Anna went beside Zen and complained, "Your mother is too much." Zen couldn't agree more to what she just said. For him, this side of his mother is very new to him and he is very unfamiliar to it. But he could tell that this side of his mother is too much and scary.

The gentle mother that he knew would most likely to be seen when they are in their house or in the public but he is guessing that this scary side of his mother would be seen when she is working as an a.s.sa.s.sin who is loyal Mary.

"I know. She just told me earlier that she will give more extra training. How wonderful is that." Zen said in a happy tone but Anna knows that he is being sarcastic. For how long Anna have known Zen she knew that he frustrated with the scene he did earlier. He did all kinds of hards.h.i.+ps in his training but that scene was pretty terrible.

"You were nervous earlier, aren't you?" Anna asked.

Before Zen reply to Anna's question, he looked at Alexandre who is currently in Anna's arms. "Yes. I was." It was the truth, he was nervous. This was the first field mission he was part of, he did not expect that he would go on a mission that there is life on the line. He was so worried and afraid that he would mess things up. But he indeed messed up when he suddenly pulled the trigger earlier.

"It's not the field you were expecting right?" Anna expected that Zen would feel that way. Military people sure have their own expectation on what kind of first mission they might have. Though the mission to retrieve Pia and Alexandre is not an official mission for Zen a mission is still a mission whether it's from the General itself or from an organization in the shadow.

"You are right."

Pia was fidgeting outside waiting for Andrea to come out with her baby. Earlier when she heard a loud gunshot from the inside of the building her heart was pounding very fast and her pale complexion become paler than before. 'G.o.d, please my baby.'

Time pa.s.ses by and the first person who came out was Ion dragging two bodies. Pia was startled by him and was very cautious she has no idea who Ion was. She was looking at the bloodied man who tried to **** her and the woman who did all this; she was astonished that a one man could single-handedly dragged the two of them out of the building.

"Ah, you must be Pia." Ion said as he let go of Elina and the man. The man groaned so much from the pain in his arms and legs while there was no reaction from Elina. "Don't worry, I'm with the woman who saved you earlier." Even though Ion said that Pia still doesn't trust him.

"He's with us but don't get too close to him. He's one dangerous pervert." Andrea's voice was heard and Pia was relieved to hear her voice. Pia looks behind Andrea and she saw Anna carrying her precious baby.

She wants to run towards her baby but her body was aching that she felt that she's gonna collapse soon. Anna saw how weak Pia is so she decided to fastened her pace and went to her side so Pia can touch Alexandre.
