A man with a scar on his face was standing guard as he smokes a cigar on one side of the fence. His eyes were wandering the estate when a pair of hands came in between his jawline.

SNAP!

The two-way motion of Hanxi's hands instantly broke the man's neck. He then bent down to disarm the man's handgun that fell on the ground.

Holding on to her earpiece, Andrea guided the three to each armed men standing guard at the location. The hide-out was massive and the ones on watch were spread across the property. Since she was not worried at all for Yeong and Ha-joon, she looked-out for Hanxi more than the other two.

"Hanxi, 3 meters to your left."

Hanxi slowly approached, and although the other man was quick to notice, he received a forceful blow to the stomach. The man's neck was simultaneously wrapped in Hanxi's arms depriving him of air to breathe.

"What was that?" Said the man from the opposite direction. His eyebrows drew together hoping to get a better look from afar.

His colleague merely brushed it off saying, "They are just probably fooling around."

After seeing that the two men on guard were nowhere to be found, he turned to warm his colleague while hearing a sharp sound from behind him.

SWISH!

His partner was already on the ground. Looking up, a pocket knife coming his way instantly hitting the veins on his neck. Before he could pull it out, Yeong came up and pushed stainless blade deeper until he fell unconscious drowning in his own blood.

Yeong looked back to the other man to make sure he was already out before moving forward to the next target.

Everything was going according to plan when suddenly a pit bull terrier came running towards Yeong barking.

With one bullet, Andrea managed to put it to silence. However, another bit bull came then another.

CLANG! CLANG!

The sound of Andrea's silenced rifle did the job of taking down the dogs, however, the behavior of the mutts was enough to catch the attention of the remaining watchmen and Yeong was quick to be surrounded.

"Andy."

Hearing him call her out, she closed one of her eyes and pressed continuously on the trigger while Yeong dived down to take cover.

The first rounds were a shot to the head but for those who quickly realized what was happening managed to get the bullet on their vital points. Unfortunately, Yeong was with them on the ground ready to conclude the kill.

Meanwhile, the Yamamoto family members came rushing down the private home, hoping to escape from the back, but Hanxi and Han-joon were already waiting for them.

Gunshots could be heard from behind the residence but because it was out of Andrea's site she decided to come out of hiding and run towards their direction.

"Ahhh!" She heard Hanxi cry out.

"Hanxi, speak to me!" There was no response. She could only hear the intermittent sound of bullets firing. She ran as fast as she could to where they were.

Few meters away, she saw Yeong and Han-joon shooting alternatively trying to prevent those inside the house from finishing off Hanxi who was down on the pavement in the middle of the crossfire.

Andrea dropped her rifle and decided to use her pistol for convenience. She climbed up the house looking through windows hoping to find an opening and when she spotted them, she shot with 100% accuracy leaving 3 men lifeless on the floor.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

When the remaining members of the Yamamotos turned to her direction, she took cover in between windows breathing heavily anticipating a counterattack. They started to send bullets to her direction but thankfully, Yeong came firing from the other side finishing them off completely.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Seeing there were no more shots being fired, Andrea jumped down not minding the pieces of glass on the window frame wounding her arm in the process.

When she came to check on Hanxi, he was already gasping for air. He was shot twice, once in the arm and another on right side of his chest. She could tell that the bullet had penetrated his lung.

"Andy…Thank you…" His voice was trembling as he said this. His eyes were partly closed, reaching out to her with his hand.

"Shhh… don't speak, let me take a look at you."

"Andy-"

"No… Hanxi, promise me. Stay with me... Stay Alive. You'll be alright." Andrea's tears were falling without control but she told herself to stay calm. Hanxi's life depended on her at this very moment.

She immediately tore his shirt with a knife and put pressure on his chest. Yeong was on the phone calling for medical back-up and clean-up while Han-joon went to the car to get some supplies. In every mission, they were always ready with medical supplies in the trunk of their car in case they get wounded or shot at.

When Han-joon came back, they both worked on him in unison covering his wound and allowing him to breathe shortly after. With a small tank, they gave him few litters of oxygen to help with his O2 saturation. Andrea then proceeded to stop the bleeding on his arm.

Although it did not take long for help to arrive. Andrea's eyes became red, worried for her brother's life. Somehow, she regretted letting him come along.

"He'll be okay, Andy. Let me take care of your arm." Yeong said as he checked on the cut from her arm.

The sun was already up that Friday morning when the doctors finally came out from the operation. Andrea was torn about leaving or not. Someone had already been calling her since 5 AM. She was feeling a little depressed seeing Hanxi in a hospital bed unconscious and could not bring herself to check her phone.

Lu Fang was walking back and forth in his study agitated, wondering how Andrea is. He only received a text from her saying that Xio Hanxi was shot, but what about her? Because Andrea was so worried about her brother, she was not able to give the man any attention. It was already 2 AM, Saturday and still no word from her.

He slammed both his hands on the table and let out a heavy sigh. He had decided he would leave for Korea, but before he could go upstairs to get ready, he heard the soldiers from outside making a ruckus.

"Freeze! Put your hands where we can see them!"

"Identify yourself!"
