Promises From the Past
Dosa

From the roof of the warehouse, two shadowy figures walked about without any sound at each of their footsteps.

Looking through the glass roof to ensure the conditions inside the warehouse, in fact there were only three people. The Assassin who brought Edward. Edward himself and the third man either Soldier did not know him.

But from all the information Soldiers got when they heard their conversation, he could conclude, if the slightly fat man was the one with the intention of wretching Edward.

"It looks like we can barge in without worrying if they put up a fight." Elissa said without a sound.

Soldiers can read Elissa's lips, in conditions where they are hiding from an enemy who is both an Assassin. That little bit of sound coming out would make him realize their presence.

"Don't first.... Let's just wait a minute." Answer the soldier who used lip gestures to reply to the words of Elissa.

"What are you waiting for, if anything happens to that boy, we'll get angry." Elissa had no idea what the Soldier's goal was.

"Why should you worry... Our agreement is to keep Edward safe, so one or two injuries are not important, as long as he's alive." Answer Soldier casually.

"I'm confused as to why you think that, remember Soldier ... Customer satisfaction is the top priority."

"Hmmm aren't you interested in hearing why that man threatened Edward."

"You're that.... What's so interesting about this."

"Look, I'll make sure Edward's safe so don't worry." Saying relaxed soldiers.

Of course, there is a reason why men who look innocent even tremble when holding a weapon are so determined to commit a crime. And the Soldier wants to know what really happened between the two of them.

Seeing and hearing drama from the roof.....

For anyone who saw the fat man, he was not a person with a lot of killing experience, more like a loner sitting in a corner of the classroom with a concerned face, melas and also full of endless misery.

All of that recalls the life that the Soldier had experienced long before he was present in the world of the Assassins. Just a victim of bullying without anyone else caring.

"Edward, do you know how much pain I have to endure when I see Melinda you just throw away...."

"Ah that girl ... for what you care, she's just a cheap woman." Edward said without sin.

"...'What do I care for ?' you should know I liked it a long time ago, and you ruined it all."

Cardness was carried away by emotion, until a bullet erupted through Edward's right thigh. The screams full of excruciating pain were certainly unbearable.

Of course Edward thought, if a man like Cardness would not dare to do evil because, anyone knows, the man was just a coward.

"Please, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...." Edward begged.

It's just that the apology that came out of Edward's mouth did not make Cardness' emotions disappear.

"This is just one small wound you must pay for your sins... And do you remember how you treated me like an animal."

Looking at the weapon that was right in front of the face now Edward was terrified...."At that time I was carried away with emotion, please don't shoot me."

A single blow of Cardness floated in Edward's head to make it fall, and was ready to put a gun to finish his life.

"The woman I love, must endure the depression of your actions... He was very nice to me, talking like a friend, but you humans don't deserve to be sorry. Melinda's dead now and it's your fault." Strong emotional Cardness remembers many things about the figure of the woman named Melinda.

"I'll take responsibility, I'll give you whatever you want, but please let me go...." Edward begged.

"What's so dear, the only responsibility you have to accept is death." There was no doubt in Cardness's face.

Cardness was frightened, she retreated knowing that no human could descend from the top of the shed roof at a height of five meters.

"Who are you.." The trembling sound of Cardness looked towards the two people who were coming.

"Calm down, man, we're not here to kill you, we just want to bring Edward back." Ask the soldier to explain the situation.

"That can't."

Soldiers do not deserve to say if revenge is a bad thing, he is not a hero, nor a saint who forgives all wrongdoing from human sins.

However, between Soldier and Cardness has something in common, which is to sacrifice everything to settle all grudges in their lives.

"Hmmm I've heard everything you've said about revenge, but unfortunately, I've been ordered to save this useless man no matter what." Reply Soldiers without any intention of killing Cardness.

Elissa had untied the rope that was holding Edward's body on the chair and she started laughing out loud.

"Kill that Ba*bi, he's made me like this." Said Edward who certainly wanted to pay back his actions.

Soldiers already know that this guy must have said that...."I'm sorry but your request can't be fulfilled."

"Have you not been paid by my family, so ..."

"It's obviously different, I'm just being asked to take care of you and save you, not do what you want." Reply Soldier with a sharp look.

What the soldier said, more like.... Someone delivers a package, as long as the package has been delivered to the customer, then they do not care what the package will be used for.

So whatever Edward's wish was not in the jobstreet for their contract.

"Blognald...." Edward tried to pick up a gun that fell on the floor and pointed it in front of Cardness.

But before he pulled the trigger to shoot Cardness, Soldier was by Edward's side and slammed a punch into the head.

At once Edward fell unconscious, while Soldier was satisfied and did not feel guilty for hitting Edward. After all, he himself understood just how much suffering Cardness was suffering from.

"I always wanted to do it to you."

Elissa surprised..."What are you doing...."

"He really makes me sick." Relax Soldier gave an answer.

"But still, if Swalldwon's family finds out you hit him we'll get into trouble."

"Don't worry about that little thing."

But one Assassin hired by Cardness did not remain silent when he saw the Soldier, he took out a knife and was ready to attack.

Like the contract agreement with Cardness that, he had to keep Edward from running away. And right now Soldier and Elissa intend to save their target, so whoever tries to free Edward is the enemy.

"Askar be careful he's not a reckless opponent. Mr. shadow, the top-class Assassin of the Golden Darkness guild."

"I don't know." Answer the soldier casually.

The fight could not be stopped, where a knife moved straight at high speed and almost penetrated the head of the Soldier if he was too late to dodge.

The blade swung back, Soldier precisely stopped Shadow's wrist and gave a loud kick that threw his body.
