In a small town known as Agbara, children at the age of ten and below, mostly boys, were usually adopted and taken to a man known as Chen. Mothers of the kids would cry and beg Chen's men to spare their kids but the men were brutal. They killed anyone who dared resist giving up their child.
Chen was the Supreme Master of an organization known as the League of Assassins. He trained the kids to become deadly assassins in other for them to help carry out assignments for his clients who were mostly politicians or wealthy business men.
It was on one of those raids that Chen's men adopted two twin brothers @galenkp and @tarazkp, they were both nine years old. And for the next twenty years, the twins knew nothing other than their knife and gun.
Chen had just one little rule “Make him some good money and you just might earn your freedom”
So the twins worked and trained hard. When others were asleep, they were in the field training. It was on one of those late night trainings that they met @meesterboom and @abh12345. Usually every man at Chen's mind his own business. They were hardly communication among themselves but the twins had been drawn to this two other strangers for some reason and that was the beginning of their friendship.
They trained tirelessly, each becoming a master in his field and when the mission's came, they went on it together. Chen didn't have a problem with that, all he wanted was their mission done and in perfect timing.
Their bond and friendship made them formidable and with time they started getting Chen's attention. He was impressed with their result and sometimes showered praises on them. He even named them 'The Formidable Four'
This didn't go down well with the rest of the guys in the League of Assassins. They felt threatened by the Formidable four success and accomplishment so they all plotted to eliminate the them.
But one thing the formidable four had and the others didn't was the spirit of unism. While they fought together, the other fought individually. So when the assassins struck, it was easy for the formidable four to defend and defeat them.
But no matter how many they killed, more seemed to be on the way. They knew they wouldn't last long if they remained at Chen's and that Chen wouldn't set them free so they came to a decision no man in his right senses would.
Chen has to die.
