“ What ? No , it ’ s ... it ’ s different . Wait , how do you know that ?”
“ Do you think I don ’ t know anything ? You think I ’ ll just let a young assassin come and kill me ? Don ’ t be silly .”
I turned my head , and I saw one of Shang ’ s bodyguards was aiming at my head with a gun . “ Well , then . Do you think the gun or the sword will be faster ?” said Shang “ What a pity , anyway you ’ ll not find the thing you want to find . Someone else has already taken it away .” “ Ha , yeah , and the ‘ somebody ’ are your parents .” “ You knew it ?” “ I saw it , in Chenyang ’ s bag , and I think the another one must belongs to you now .” “ But ... why do you want to find it ?”
“ Young man , the world is not as simple as you thought , but it ’ s not also complicated . Humans are fighting for goods , countries are fighting for people . You know why did I kill your parents ? They ’ re communists , they ’ re my enemy because they are in the different group and have different belief with me .
“ You can ’ t say I was right , but you can ’ t also say I ’ m wrong . It ’ s just like you ’ re killing people and breaking families .”
“ No , it ’ s different ... I ’ m not ...” Yes I am . I suddenly felt helpless , it ’ s like all of my anger was just meaningless , because I was the same kind of person with Shang ! There ’ s no need for it , I ’ ve done what I should done , my family will not come back even I kill him , It ’ s meaningless to spend my time and power to revenge ...
“ You know what does these fangs for ? If we give them to another country as a presents , we ’ ll not have wars with that country for some time , and we need time , we don ’ t need to be so obstinate .
“ However , what do your parents believe is , don ’ t show weakness to your enemy , if they want to fight , they will fight , but the fangs are our treasure of the country .
“ We have different opinions , and they don ’ t have right or wrong , the most important thing is what ’ s your belief .
“ The country is in danger now , so don ’ t always think about yourself , think about this country , because this is a big family . For now there are two powers in this country and fight with each other , there are lots of people betrayed our country , there are other countries are staring at us and want to get something from here ...
“ So what are you gonna do ? Think about it .” Both of us stopped talking , it was so silence .
“ Okay , I think ...” I suddenly killed Shang with my sword and quickly pull his corpse in front of me , so after the bodyguard fired , the corpse protected me . Then I quickly picked up his gun and shoot the bodyguard .
Both of them died .
There was a dagger in Shang ’ s hand , he also wanted to kill me , he couldn ’ t give the bodyguard order to kill me because if I see it , I will also kill Shang .
I knew what was Shang thinking about : Nothing is true , I couldn ’ t know if he still wanted to kill me or not , if he would become my enemy or not , then why don ’ t just kill him ?
I suddenly started to cry , with all my pain and anger in those years . I knew he ’ s right , but I still killed him , because I hate him , I hate him in all those years . I was so young but live without a family . I had be bullied and beat , others laughed at me and teased me ...
“ Mom , dad , Chenyang ! Have you seen it ? I killed him ! I killed him !”
My name is Shi Jieson , and I was an assassin . I lived with Jo Black , a famous assassin , I was very proud of being his roommate .
One day , he suddenly told those guys who always paid money for us to kill people that he was done with it . He wouldn ’ t work on it anymore . I was greatly shocked , and found it hard to understand .
