The Mute Assassin

My father sold me to a passing trafficker for one tael of silver.

That day, with everyone watching, Xie Xun took me away and trained me to become the finest mute assassin.

But good times did not last. My salvation had been part of a plan all along.

“Xie Xun, whatever you care about, I’ll destroy.”

The first time he heard me speak was when I was about to kill him.
