nThe assassins took each knife and sliced through the food of several objects in the room before smiling in satisfaction.

nEverything was ready.

nWith that, all 3 assassins packed their few belongings and took the elevator down.

nTheir thinking was simple.

nRight now, they were 90% sure that their target would die by today.

nSo the moment they killed her, they would flee the empire fast!

nOf course, they wouldn't use the Coastal Port since they hadn't booked any Ship Cruises yet.

nAnd, even if they did book one, boarding would take time.

nBy then, the Baymardians might've already issued a command that no one should leave until the killer was found.

nSure!

nThey left their swords and other weapons in the Coastal Port when they came in earlier on.

nBut they decided to abandon those and flee through the Landport A.S.A.P.

nWith that port, they just needed to check-out and leave.

nThings would be faster for them because they were just holding their small backpacks and didn't keep anything in that Port

nSo they could use fast check-out to leave.

nAll these had been investigated before today.

nOf course, before heading to the Landport, they would throw away all kitchen knives and cutlery in their bags.

n.

nWell, this was their plan after they successfully killed their target.

nBut should in case some miracle happened and they didn't end up killing their target, they would just head to any area with a bathroom, change their attire, head back to the hotel and lay low again observing things from the shadows.

nThis was also why they decided not to check out of their hotel.

nSo even if they did manage to complete their mission, they'd just leave Baymard without checking out.

nWho cares?

nAll that matters is that they completed their mission and fled the scene before getting caught.

nWith everything in order, they left the hotel, rode bicycles for a while before dumping them.

nFrom there, they took off the different coloured coats and dumped them in the trash before taking a train to their destination.

nThey dared not take any bus or train near their hotel because they didn't want anyone to recognize their attire and give out statements that they did see them here earlier on near the hotels.

nPlus, the fact that they wore brightly coloured coats when riding their bicycles would make them less suspicious.

nNow, even if those on the train recognize their outfits later on, the police would definitely start their search around the place where they took the trains.

nBut, since they cycled from a completely different sector, the police would just be going on a wild goose chase.

nThe trio had analyzed and thought of many things thoroughly before today.

nThat's why they were overly confident about killing Winnie.

n.

nAnd just as planned, the trio cycled first for close to 47 minutes before finally secretly taking off their coats, tying them in plastic bags and casually dumping them in the trash as if they were garbage.

nNo one suspected a thing.

nOf course, they also left their bicycles behind, stripped on the sidewalks and took another 15 minutes to get to the train station.

nThey boarded the trains and left the central region, heading straight for Sector C in the Upper Region.

nBut from here on out, things would get a whole trickier than before.

nThey got off the train, took a bus to one of the roads and began re-evaluating and setting things up.

nToday, Winnie had just a single class.

nAnd typically, after that class, they headed straight for the government building in this same sector.

nOne shouldn't forget that she also worked as a health inspector who gave random checks of all Food and beverage industries, companies and establishments here in Baymard.

n

n

nBe it a restaurant, dinner and even a coffee shop, provided it was a place where food and drinks were made, stored or processed... Mother Winnie's team was there to ensure that no one got food poisoned.

nIf she wasn't out doing an inspection, she would still go to the government building to sort out all paperwork before heaving to the palace.

nAccording to their investigations, she still has an office in the palace, where she would also hold regular meetings for those who requested an audience with her.

nJust like the other Royals, she was swamped too.

n.

nAnyway, they knew her schedule and found that she typically liked passing through this particular road when leaving the school and heading towards the government building.

nApparently, she likes it because it's less chaotic.

nIn truth, even they would choose this road too.

nWhy?

nBecause there was always traffic on the other one that would take her straight to the Government buildings.

nBut here, the traffic was never that great.

nSure, there were still several cars on the road, but not as many as the other one.

nAnd, another thing that went in her favour was that she always hurried towards the government building before rush hour.

nTraffic was heaviest during the early mornings, noon, 4~5 P.M and 9~10 P.M.

nThose were chaotic times when traffic was terribly annoying.

nSo Mother Winnie always fought to leave the school and make it to the government office before noon.

nAt least, that's what they knew through their observations, as well as through their investigations.

nThat said, they would be here to welcome her when she arrives.

nThe trio scanned their surroundings for a bit, taking note of any possible cops around.

nIn short, provided they didn't run into these people who had those black sticks, then they would be fine.

nWho wanted to get thundered and shook by those tiny sticks?

nThey heard that some time ago, even the late Alec Barn had been hit by those black sticks.

nIt's said that he shook so much and fell on the ground, passing out from it all.

nKnowing this, they dared not take their chances.

nAnd soon, they saw 3 cars from afar, driving along the road in formation.

nInstantly, their eyes lit up.

nShe was here!

nGood.

nIt was time to begin.
