Chapter-22: Time for hunt (2)

“The mission has been completed; all you need to receives the good, Your Excellency.”

There were two men in this room. One of them was a middle-aged man. He has no noticeable feature except for a thick golden chain on his neck. Other one was wearing a white mask on his face. Everything he wore was white that’s all his feature.

The speaker was the middle-aged man.

“Is that so? Good job.”

The masked man praised him with a cold voice.

The middle-aged man was clearly head of this branch called Eagle’s Eye Company, Red Tiger City Branch, which deals with all kinds of business of both light and dark. But the person who was sitting in front him has no connection to this company, he's but a customer, despite that middle-aged man talking with him like he was the master of this company.

The masked man contacted him a couple weeks ago, as a customer.

“Kidnapped the youngest child of City Lord.”

Middle-aged man’s mouth made a gaped hearing that, he answered while shaking his head,

“That’s something we cannot do, even if we have the ability to kidnap that brat. Problem is despite our company is ruled by one of three heavenly clans; we agree on a term with every country we cannot lay our claws on noble’s family. We cannot break the terms of service, no matter what, please go back, sir.”

He rejected him politely. He doesn’t know who is that man is, but if he is brave enough to ask for this insane request, that guy someone not simple.

“Heh…”

That man snorted and put a palm size purple crystal on the table.

“How about this? I will give you guys this thing as an exchange of that request.”

The middle age frowned, what kind of crystal is it? Is it…

When he was about to inquire about it, the masked man answer on his own.

“Hmm… Can’t you recognize this thing? It’s called Serafall Crystal.”

Hearing that middle-aged man stood up with a shocked yet angry face,

“Quite your jokes, sir. Or we will force you to get out of here.”

So what is serafall crystal? It’s a valuable magic stone that increased mana capacity by a great amount. Just for 10 grams of it will be millions of money. And the weight of this stone at least 700 grams. So he thought, there is no way its Serafall Crystal.

Understanding his behavior masked man said,

“There is no way, a low official like you have ever seen serafall crystal like this big, but that doesn’t mean we big fish cannot hold this. As long as I remember every branch of Eagle’s Eye has at least one refiner, verify it by him.”

After verifying it that refiner had fainted. It had shocked him too much that he fainted. The middle-aged man also verges of being fainted.

“So, is our deal seal?”

The masked man calmly said like, you are that surprised to see a little piece of this things.

“Is that crystal you are giving… not my company… only to me?”

Middle-aged guy gulped.

“It’s your business, all I need work done. You can own it or you can divide it or can loyally hand over to head of the Eagle's Eye.”

Of course, the masked man knows that this guy will take it for himself.

“How about it? I will give this piece to you in advance.”

Cleaning sweat from his forehead, the middle-aged man said hurriedly,

“Yes, yes. We are officially taking this mission.”

But after thinking something he asked the masked man,

“Can I ask a question?”

The masked man stood up and said,

“Why am I fixating on that brat?”

“Yes.”

When the middle-aged man replied that, he lost the sight of the masked man, but could hear his voice that about to fade,

“If you do not want to die early, you better not know that.”

The middle-aged man started to sweat, that guy was able to exit without even noticed… he’s no ordinary individual… but when he saw that guy left behind the serfall crystal, he sighed and said aloud,

“He is really not an ordinary individual.”

Next day, Eagle’s Eye Company’s Refiner mysteriously died.

***

Present.

Two men who kidnapped Jonny Tiger dragged his body on the office room, where middle-aged man and masked man were sitting.

“As per request, we are delivering him to you. Hope we can do business in the near future.”

The middle-aged man said to the masked man.

“I do not hope we will meet again.”

That man coldly said. But middle-aged man didn’t get irritated from that because he already knows he is a worm in front of this guy in begin with.

But when he thought about the serafall crystal his face start to loosen.

“Come out you Eagle’s Eye dogs… Come to your daddy.”

That rude voice watered down his all delusions.

Saying ‘excuse me’ to the masked man, he went veranda to see the person who was calling him rudely.

He saw many people with distinguished uniform were standing in front of the entrance. It was none other than Red Tiger Divine Clan. And in front of them were two top dogs, Jack Tiger the vice clan master (he was the one who was voicing rudely) and the other one was the eldest son of clan master Jin Tiger.

The middle-aged man started to swear in his mind.

[AN: I didn’t waste my mind to give the middle-aged man a name… because he is a cannon fodder.

I decided to change the Red Tiger Clan to Red Tiger Divine Clan which sounds more chuuni… I mean cool. XD]
