The next day as usual, James started to worry about himself but what he read from Alex's message he was a little confident even though he was a bit doubtful.


"James! You should be able to! You should be able to!" muttered James who was encouraging himself.


James is doing his usual activities, today is the day James will undergo his training together with his mentor.


James, a mischievous young man whose job is to fight wherever it is, after destroying a group of mobsters who turn out to be subordinates of one of the politicians, James gets no protection from anyone.


#Flashback ON


James lives in Rome, Italy. Not in the city but James came from the suburbs, a place that is so shabby.


James lives with his mother, "Mah! Just chill! James will get a lot of money to pay off his debts! You calm down!" james nodded with confidence.


His mother only smiled wryly, James came out of his house and it turned out that there was a foreign man unknown to him waiting for James under the stairs.


Yes, James lived in an apartment, similar to a contract with each room different people who rented it.


James passed the mysterious man, "James!" greet the mysterious man who made James stop his footsteps.


James slowly turned his body and looked at the figure of the foreign man he did not recognize, "Uhm? Sorry, why do you know my name?" asked James in curiosity.


"Look James, you need money, right? I have a way that you can earn money fast!" exclaimed the man told James there was a chance to earn some money.


James was slightly unmoved, he was quite interested in the opportunity that lay before his eyes.


However, it was not enough to make James interested, however James was the son of a soldier.


James had been closely educated by his father since he was a child until his father had an accident during his mission to maintain state security.


James refused the offer until one day, "Well! I'm home!" greet James when he returned home with some money, it was James' salary while working every day.


The money he held fell, scattered on the floor because he saw his random house collapsed, with blood stains on the wall.


"Your mother is alive! As soon as we settle the debt, we'll spare your mother's life!" written there.


James was furious, he went berserk and destroyed the thing that was there.


"It can't be like this James! How do you pay off that debt quickly?" James thought of everything.


Everything she thought about from robbing to selling her kidneys to saving her mother.


Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok


A knock on the door blew James' mind, he sighed and calmed himself.


"Huf! Mama can definitely save me!" james's mind is steady.


After the door opened, the figure of a foreign man who had previously offered James a job appeared before him.


"Uhm?" confused James.


"James? How was my offer yesterday? It still holds true today and until any time!" said the stranger directly.


"All right! I want!" james replied straight.


Just a noble, he thought.


After entering the room, an old man with a thick beard was sitting on a chair while enjoying the coffee in front of him.


"Your name, James? Isn't it?" ask the old man.


"Uhm, is it, sir? You recognize me?" asked James in curiosity.


"of course! You are the son of my best friend, how can I not know you?" replied the old man who started to joke a little.


"Look, James! My name is Louis! I'll give you a job, this job was your father's job, it's just that he was seriously injured in an accident while he was keeping the country safe!" Louis.


James was a little in disbelief, apparently his father had a friend and was now in front of him.


James wanted to ask a lot of questions about his father, however James had been left behind by his father since childhood.


He could only follow in the footsteps of his father who was a soldier, the defender of the country.


James is getting excited because he will get a job to continue to continue the work that turned out to be his father's job.


"Come here!"


James gets his first mission, which is to break into a yacht and kill someone.


"Why should I kill someone? Isn't a soldier's job like that?" confused James and asked Louis.


"Actually, he's a criminal! Since there is no clear evidence of him being so great hiding his crimes so the government wants to kill him with a secret agency like ours! Aren't you sure what your father's been doing all this time? Look here!" louis said and asked James to follow him.


There are various photos belonging to James' late father there, showing the effort done by him by holding a firearm and also there are photos of the time when James was doing his action in fighting crime.


"All right! I'm ready to accept this mission!"


James, not just the son of a soldier. He was a former best soldier when he was still in the military until at the time of debt hit everything, James had to find a job that could get money every day to support his mother's life.


James was in front of the cruise ship, dressed in black. James was ready to get into the party held by a conglomerate boy.


James entered the ship, although he was detained because security officers requested an invitation letter proving that James did get an invitation to attend the party.


After escaping, using a copy of the invitation letter that had previously been made by a subordinate of Louis.


James saw a huge crowd of people there, dressed in expensive clothes because the majority of all the invited guests were children of the conglomerate.


James went for a walk alone, looking for the target he was going to kill because it was his first mission.


"Are these missions actually quite easy? Just, why would I kill him?" james is worried.


After a while, in the middle of the event took place James saw the person being targeted by him, it was the target of a fairly fat man with blond hair and was very similar to what James had seen before from a photo that Louis had already shown.


The target was named William, currently William walking towards the corridor where many guest rooms there.


As William enters a room with a girl he hugs still drunk, James follows behind him.


Noting the safe state, James nimbly went inside and covered the woman's mouth with a cloth that turned out to have been covered with drugs so that it only took a while, the woman fainted made James.
