The three of them parked their car at the edge of the forest by the western farmland and slowly walked into the trees.
Four Sakurania assassins followed closely behind, keeping a calculated distance.
In the quiet, shadowy woods of the afternoon, the farther they ventured, the darker and more eerie it
became
As they reached the depths of the forest, a ghostly smile flickered across Daphne's face.
Rowan and Rita immediately caught on.
The three abruptly stopped, their senses alert to the presence of four masked figures lurking in the woods.
In a preemptive strike, they attacked before the assassins could react.
Suddenly, hundreds of silver needles flashed in the dim light, gleaming like stars as they rained down on the four assassins!
The assassins let out strange, high-pitched cries and disappeared into the shadows.
Daphne, Rowan, and Rita stood back-to-back in the center of the forest, holding their breath and listening for any
movementnoveldrama
The eerie silence pressed down on them, making the dark forest feel like the depths of the underworld.
After a tense pause, the stillness shattered.
The leaves rustled violently, and dozens of shuriken came flying down like a deadly rain, covering Daphne, Rowan, and Rita.
The four assassins emerged from the shadows like ghosts, brandishing their sabers, and lunged toward Daphne, Rowan, and Rita, who were busy deflecting the shuriken. "I'll draw them away!" Rowan shouted.
Before Daphne could stop him, he had darted to the side, positioning himself behind the assassins and launching a furious counterattack on their backs.
The assassins dodged Rowan's assault with ease.
Rowan spun and sprinted deeper into the forest, luring two of the assassins after him.
The assassins exchanged a knowing glance.
Two assassins broke off, their sights set on Rowan.
They planned to eliminate their targets one by one, starting with him.
Once Rowan was dealt with, the four assassins would regroup to overwhelm Dapline and Rita.

Daphne knew that Rowan'stood little chance against two elite assassins, but she had no choice.
Daphne faced two formidable assassins, their skills a match for her own.
Both she and Rita were locked in a desperate struggle, fully engaged in fending off their attackers.
Their situation seemed dire; their fate hung precariously in the balance.
All Daphne could hope was that she and Rita would somehow defeat these two assassins in time to aid Rowan.
In the ensuing struggle, Rita sustained an injury and began to falter.
Facing relentless attacks from two assassins, Daphne was also beginning to tire.
Meanwhile, Rowan sprinted through the forest, leading his two pursuers toward the northwest corner of
the woods.
Once he reached a suitable spot, he turned to face them, brandishing his short sword and executing at spinning low sweep aimed at their legs.
Rowan was fast, but the two elite assassins were faster.
They evaded his strike, vanishing like shadows.
Before Rowan could pinpoint their location, dozens of shuriken filled the air, coming straight at him.
Rowan spun his sword defensively, knocking aside each of the incoming blades.
But
the next instant, two sabers slashed toward his throat.
Rowan's arms were stretched to their limit; he had no way to block the assassins' attack.
He knew that, given their speed and proximity, he would be dead within milliseconds.
Accepting his fate, Rowan prepared himself for death.
All he wanted now was to delay the assassins as long as possible, to buy Daphne and Rita a bit more time. With a surge of adrenaline, he launched himself at the two assassins and their gleaming blades. The ninjas hesitated, their deadly sabers faltering for a heartbeat.
But it was too late.
Even that momentary pause sealed Rowan's fate.
With a wild laugh, Rowan threw himself toward the oncoming sabers, determined to make them pay for every inch.
It was all over!
But just as he was about to meet his end, a flash of cold steel cut through the tension, and silence blanketed the forest.

Rowan's eyes widened as he stared at the sabers halted mere millimeters from his throat.
Miraculously, they had stopped just short.
However, the two assassins would never again wield their blades.
Their lives ended in that fraction of a second.
"Mr. Ramsey!" Rowan gasped in astonishment as he looked up to see Robin standing before him, his expression cold and composed.
The assassins hadn't even realized how they'd been killed.
Rowan quickly pointed toward where Daphne and Rita were still fighting. "Ms. West and Rita are over there."
Robin and Rowan sprinted deeper into the forest.
Daphne and Rita were locked in a desperate fight against the last two Sakurania assassins.
Rita, injured, was barely holding her ground.
Facing two skilled killers alone, Daphne was nearing exhaustion as well.
Seeing that they had the upper hand, the assassins slowed, taunting Daphne, "Cynthia Rivers, you betrayed. the Rivers family and Master Masao. For that, you must die!" Daphne laughed bitterly. "I've done countless deeds for the Rivers family and Northern Star Sword School And this is my reward? Tell me, why do they want me dead?"
One of the assassins sneered, "You disrupted a critical plan of the Rivers family and Northern Star Sword School. A coward like you deserves death!"
"A critical plan?" Daphne's face showed a flicker of surprise. "What plan?"
"You're not worthy of knowing," the assassin replied coldly. "Now, will you take your own life, or shall we end it for you?"
Daphne smirked defiantly. "You think I'll kill myself on your orders, huh? I'm not your puppet.
In the next moment, hundreds of silver needles burst forth, raining down on the two assassins.....
