Cinderella Crazy
Ba!!

In the middle of the night, in a deserted residential area as most of the people had slept, a man in shabby clothes entered the gate of a giant palace-like mansion. The gatekeeper lowered his head in greeting.

But there is something strange going on inside them. A smile that was never seen, clung tightly to the man's face. The person in question is not even aware that he is smiling.

Still with a smile clearly engraved on his face, he entered his study and sat down on a chair by the window. As if not satisfied all day sitting there, instead of returning to his room, the man actually sat there while daydreaming.

A small glass display case was seen next to his desk. Inside, a white woman's shoe was given to her by a Count's daughter.

He covered his face once more while laughing considering the woman he had met just a moment ago.

Someone then knocked on the door and he let the person in without a second thought.

"A... You look happy?" Ask the man who is only a few years older than him.

"really? It seems so."

The answer given by his master only further confused him. The person in front of him only had 1 expression before. He never even seemed interested in anything and was very difficult to make happy.

"You managed to get a clue?"

With a plain face and a smile on his lips, he did not answer the questions of his assistant who was also his childhood friend. It could be seen clearly that his Master had forgotten his original purpose of going to that bar.

"...h.ah. I forgot."

As expected.

"Then, what are you doing here?" He asked once more because his master had walked into the midnight study despite not getting a clue.

The man thought for a moment, and realized there was nothing he was going to do in his study. With a flat face his assistant said,

"I think your brain is damaged by working too much."

...****************...

Moving from a crazy man to a crazy woman.

The hit man has been deployed, the informant has also been taken care of. The results may be immediately visible within 4 days when the plan of the ambush is implemented. But the details will be known within a week when the informant reports his observations.

Ashley deliberately chose a different day in order to slightly disguise the suspicions of the people involved.

Then what did Ashley do for a week waiting for the results? There is no way that people who like to make noise seem to be silent while waiting.

...****************...

The next day, one night, there was a sneak ambush in a building. Several people suspected of smuggling illegal drugs were led out by a group of armed men.

"They're just new people whose job is to mediate."

"The medicine is placed in the designated place. They just have to take it." Said one of the men who had just finished interrogating them.

"How do they order the medicine?"

"They wrote it down on paper and threw it in the trash."

The two men just stared at each other. They have not been left thinking about the way the syndicate has been running for them over the past few months.

"God. They checked all the garbage in town?"

He lifted his head and took a long breath. He stared at the dark starless night sky for a brief moment before returning to see his assistant.

Far behind his assistant, at the end of the dark street he saw something. From behind the alley that was highlighted the only street light, he saw a long golden hair that was being blown by the wind.

"We continue tomorrow. Good job today." He patted his assistant on the shoulder before then running past the bewildered assistant.

Without answering his question, the man ran towards the alley.

"Daryl!"

...****************...

A few hours earlier, on the other side of town, Ashley had Bellena go around looking for entertainment.

Every place they try to go to always makes Bellena panic.

Initially having no idea where to go, they walked into the red light district. Bellena looks very panicked along the way and makes Ashley prank her by inviting her into one of the entertainment venues there.

Satisfied to make Bellena drunk, they went out and continued looking for another place. In every place they went, Ashley always got information about a new place which she went to.

"You're new here? I'll show you a good place." Speak of a big man.

The generally feared people quickly became familiar with Ashley. Similarities in something can indeed accelerate friendship. For example, they like violence.

He and Ashley talked all the way like friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Together with a few others, they walked through deserted alleys, breaking through hidden streets. The further their feet went, the more unsettled Bellena was. His mind was filled with negative thoughts.

It is normal for a young girl to feel afraid of being led to a foreign place at night by some big man.

Even so, he can't tell his nona because Ashley's running in front with their gang leader. While Bellena walked in the back with 3 men and 1 other woman.

One of the men walking beside Bellena jumped in front of her and startled the girl who looked tense along the way.

"Ba!!"

Bellena shouted in surprise. The man and the three others laughed when they heard Bellena scream so shrillly through the empty alleys.

Ashley looked back, finding her favorite errand boy sitting surrounded by four people laughing at her. The girl's body trembled, not much different from when Ashley asked her to test the durability of her cane.

Ashley just kept quiet, looking at them intently without showing the slightest smile on her face. The laughter of the four men slowly shrank, realizing their jokes were not well received by Ashley.

No one knew for sure what Ashley was thinking, but their chairman realized, the girl next to him was thinking bad things.

"Hey, don't overdo it." Said their leader to his men.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. You look really tense so I thought it might relax you a little bit."

Where possible. Where did such a thought come from?

The man who shocked Bellena helped her wake up feeling guilty. Compared to his three male friends, he had the least muscle time, his body was also fairly normal. Maybe it can make Bellena feel a little more fearless.

"They're El, these kids are just excited about making new friends."

Of course Ashley didn't introduce her real name. Even so, the name he used still sounded like the nickname Ashelia.

Compared to thugs or other people who do not get an education, their way of speaking is quite good and clear. Signify they are not only dealing with people of the lower middle class.

Ashley grins.

"Don't bother him. She's just a normal girl. But I still need her."

"So, lay a finger on her and I'll fuck you up."
