Description: Anna, an assassin, was mentored by Moody after he found her following a massacre in Saigon, where she had killed four men responsible for her family’s murder. Over the years, they traveled the world executing high-profile contracts before settling in England. Anna managed a rare-book store, while Moody lived in a manor house. Their routine was disrupted when Anna encountered Rembrandt in her shop, who claimed to be shopping for a gift.
During a mission, Anna and Moody assassinated a Romanian mafia boss by using his son as bait. However, Moody was later brutally murdered, prompting Anna to seek revenge. She suspected their last target, Edward Hayes, was involved and tracked him to Vietnam. There, she discovered Edward’s assistant, Vohl, but Duquet killed Vohl before he could share information. Anna confronted Duquet, was captured, and suffered interrogation. Rembrandt visited her in captivity, revealing he worked for the same employer as Duquet but disapproved of his harsh tactics. Anna eventually escaped an attempted hanging and overpowered her captors.
During dinner with Rembrandt, he became entangled in a street brawl with local mobs but survived. Meanwhile, Anna confronted and killed Duquet. Rembrandt later found Duquet’s body and was ambushed by Anna. After a fierce fight, they reconciled and grew closer. While walking together, Anna was shot by one of Edward’s men but was unexpectedly rescued by Moody, who had faked his own death by disguising his would-be killer and staging his demise. Moody revealed the deception to Anna, setting the stage for their next move.
