Mia didn't know what had happened.
She hadn't seen her parents all day and just woke from a nightmare.
She stood frozen, lost in a daze.
Obsidia was afraid that Ottilie would call for help.
Before she could get her bearings, a shadow burst toward Ottilie, dagger glinting.
Ottilie charged to meet her attacker.
With lightning speed, she leaped and snapped both feet into the assassin's chest.
The kick sent Obsidia reeling.
He never expected such force from a wisp of a girl.
His footing faltered on the stairs, and almost fell down.
He barely caught himself from an embarrassing tumble.
"Who's there?" A man's angry yell echoed from below.
"Jaxson, help! He's an assassin after Mia!" Ottilie shouted immediately.
Just a moment ago, she didn't dare to make a sound because she didn't know the situation outside, including how many assassins had arrived and how many security personnel were left in the residence.
Now, upon hearing Jaxson's voice and confirming that he was unharmed, Ottilie finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Damn it!"
Obsidia snarled, ditching the man racing up the steps.
With lightning speed, he tried again to rush to Mia.
His sole focus was reaching the second floor to complete his mission, even if it was just one kill.
"Not so fast!"
Ottilie pulled a dagger out of her back and struck swiftly.
But after a few moves, Ottilie soon lost ground against the ruthless assassin.
Just then, the dim villa blazed with light, momentarily blinding Obsidia.
Seizing the distraction, Ottilie slashed at his eyes.
As he recoiled, she kicked with all her might, knocking him down the stairs.
