127 THE OLD MAN

Senja caught a glimpse of the edge of a letter inside the assassin's clothes that peeked out. She took it out curiously and read the content. It were two sheets of paper, one paper was a raw drawing map about the layout of the Carnation Resort while the other was a letter with the content that informed about appointment time and date.

The symbol on the letter looked similar with the one that Xiao Tianyao read this morning. It seemed, they were coming to retrieve this letter.

"That L Clan symbol" Yoda pointed out the L symbol that Senja also notice it when Xiao Tianyao read it, because the symbol was on the back.

"So, it is L Clan's letter?"

"Yes. It looks like this is the secret letter that those assassins trying to get it back and coincidentally Commander Xiao isn't around"

"For me, it more look like this attack has been prepared" However upon looking the letter Senja expression turned perplexed.

"We need to get out from here" Yoda said anxiously when he heard the sound of the battle gradually closer and without mercy Yoda took the opportunity of the unmoving assassin to stab his chest as blood spread on the assassin's clothes, he stood for a good second before slump on the ground next to his comrade that he was stabbed himself.

Senja's brows knitted upon seeing the two bodies covered in blood but didn't say anything.

She grabbed Yoda's hand and led the way to the window, she gestured him to stand behind her while Senja assessed the situation.

Except the two assassins who had come to the room before, the entire road from window to the forest was clear.

Their goal was only to get the secret letter as fast as they could so bunch of the assassins outside were merely distraction and left this two assassins to complete their mission. Without them knowing there were Senja and Yoda who didn't engaged in the battle in front line.

They seem to know the blue print of the house to be able to draw a raw map. With the knowledge that Xiao Tianyao wasn't there at the moment then no one would be in his study room.

The question are, who the instigator? Is the L Clan has the blue print of Xiao Tianyao's private property? It isn't something that you could get easily, right?

Many questions were roaming inside her mind while she led the way to the forest.

Suddenly Senja was stop running and almost made Yoda who ran in close distance bumped onto her.

"What happen?" Yoda become alerted because of the seriousness of Senja's expression.

"Someone follows us" Senja whispered. It was a sudden feeling that she felt.

Yoda drawn his sword with narrow eyes he scanned around him and position Senja behind his body to protect her.

Both of them have ran a few meters inside the forest hence the trees already quite dense and blocking their view. The enemy could jump from behind one of the trees and caught them out of guard.

When they felt more pressured, Senja stared intently at the tree on her left.

"He is behind the three" Senja informed Yoda in low voice.

When Senja finished talking a man with white beard that reached his stomach appeared from behind the tree. His eyes were so small that wasn't match with his big, tall and burly body. His hair very disarrange like he had been skipped wash it for decade, his red robe fluttered gloriously and on his back he carried a broad blade as his weapon that Senja recognized as Machete, it was a short blade that was less commonly used.

"How you know?!" He exclaimed, his perplexed feeling pouring Senja with overwhelmed emotion.

This man almost twice of Yoda size and look more dangerous with his crazy eyes that stared at Senja. Subconsciously Yoda took a step back.

"Young man move! I am talking to her!" He roared dissatisfied.

"Run!" Senja grabbed Yoda robe and dragged him to flee. She didn't know why but this old man made her shivered out of fright.
