    Chapter 419 Prodigious Assassin


    Frances finally nodded in agreement and quietly stepped aside. Cherise enjoyed her breakfast while


    keeping a watchful eye on ke. She remembered her first encounter with ke when Nicky had


    come to her school to torment her.


    This young man not only dealt a heavy blow to Nicky but also took him to the rooftop garden, almost


    throwing him over the edge…


    During that initial encounter, Cherise’s impression of ke was nothing but fear and cruelty. However,


    over time, she came to realize that he was actually a simple and endearing boy.


    On the way to school, Cherise asked Damien about ke.


    “He was taken into the assassin organization at a young age and treated like ab rat. He had training


    but no friends, which is why he appears the way he does now,” Damien exined as he drove, gripping


    the steering wheel with his hands and a faint smile on his lips. “Why this sudden. interest in ke?”

    Cherise’s lips tightened. “ke used to be… an assassin?”


    “Yes.” Damien continued to drive with an unceasing grin. “A prodigious assassin.”


    “Three years ago, when he was ten, he could ruthlessly eliminate trained attack dogs at the assassin


    base. So the organization tried to have him assassinate people.”


    Cherise’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief.


    A ten-year-old… taking lives….


    “I was his initial target and his ultimate one. Damien looked forward, the unrestrained grin revealing


    itself. “Those who sent him to kill me probably assumed I was blind and had limited. mobility.”


    To any trained assassin, I was an easy target. That’s why they sent ke to assassinate me, thinking a


    single, young, and trained assassin would be enough to take my life. But ke not only spared my life,


    he became part of my team.”


    Cherise was speechless with shock. She had always sensed that ke was different from other


    children and possessed immense power. However, she never imagined that ke, who stayed by


    Damien’s side, had such a backstory….


    “Is it really that astonishing?” Damien parked the car and helplessly looked at Cherise. There are even


    more staggering and legendary stories than this. If you want to hear more, I can gradually tell you.”


    Cherise quickly waved her hand. “No, I don’t-I don’t want to hear anymore.”


    ke was one of the few people closest to her, yet she remained oblivious to the details of his

    past….


    Cherise had a feeling that the stories of the other people might be even more absurd. However, she


    preferred not to delve too deeply into such matters. She feared that hearing these stories. would


    dampen her zest for life.


    So, Cherise took a deep breath, swung open the car door, and grinned at Damien. “I’m off. Good luck


    to me!”


    Without waiting for his response, she grabbed her backpack and dashed onto the school campus.


    Damien stood in ce, watching her disappearing form with a helpless smile on his face.


    Damien couldn’t help but worry that if a small tale about ke’s history was already challenging. to


    ept, coping with the harsh reality of her biological parents’ shared history and the fact that they


    would never reconcile in this lifetime would be even harder.


    The man subtly shook his head. When the girl’s dwindling silhouette finally vanished from his view, he


    returned to the car.


    As soon as he closed the car door, his phone started ringing. It was a call from Lennon. “Damien,


    someone has arrived at thepany.


    “Who?” He knew Lennon’s judgment well. If the person in question wasn’t of great importance, Lennon


    wouldn’t have urgently contacted him.
