He said after glancing at his wristwatch. Its hands pointed to 4:40. Agatha nodded. She picked up the gun again and began to point at the target five meters away. Her aim was good. It seemed some of his acquaintances took care of her. Time passed. He imparted some pieces of advice on how she could improve her marksmanship. Agatha never complained of sore arms or numbness which most newbies bemoaned of. But when he saw her hands starting to get unsteady, he made her stop and brought her out of the place.
"You don't have to push yourself that much. You already did well."He told the girl as she half-leaned on him while walking towards his car.
"Hm..." she unwillingly nodded.He didn't like it but it seemed she was really bothered by her weaknesses. She looked so eager to improve on that aspect as if being good at it would help increase her sense of security. With his dark eyes pMeanwhile, within that same day in Maurice's side.... It had already been four days since the mayor 'agreed' to help Maurice corner the teleporter 'stalker'. The fat Abenson guy commissioned a group comprised of terrific hackers to comb out the city for the target. He also threw an order to the whole Alina City Police to kill or detain this malefic juvenile criminal once spotted. Of course, most officers didn't know what this kid did to anger the government since his profile was labeled 'highly classified information'. However, since it was an order from above, they had no choice but to comply. The tragic thing was, they even had to compete or cooperate with the underworld people to look for the target.Yet unfortunately, none of them ever saw the kid. Or even when they saw him, he always managed to easily slip away. This made Maurice think that the last four days had been very stressful and unpleasant. She lost count of how many times her temper explode
"Hello, Miss Prettiest!"Greeted the grinning boy to her. Yes, it was the same detestable host that she badly wanted to tear into pieces! He appeared right in front of her just when she was about to go crazy from looking for him! It was at the top of the Cryptos, a regular sophisticatedly designed social club for people with money and some influence. She set the club as the rendezvous place since it was frequented by those from the upper society and the underworld.When Maurice saw the boy waving a hand at her with a wide grin on his face, her eyes widened and her hands instantly reached out to the long knife hidden underneath her knee-length skirt. "You dare to appear before me!"She angrily shouted while taking out the weapon. The boy, of course, saw her action but did not react to it. Instead, he answered her question, "Why not? I'm your avid stalker. I'm afraid you already forgot my face so I'm here showing it again
Most of them remembered firing so many bullets which hit the walls and other pieces of furniture. However, when they checked, the wall clearly had no damage aside from the holes and none of the weapons used today used gunpowder. Actually, no modern firearms used that anymore. So where did the smoke come from? And why was it concentrated on the corpse?At this train of thought, one of the tattooed baldies finally called out,"Lady Boss. Something's odd."Another one added,"Yeah. Something's not right here. I seem to be seeing something on the walls.""Idiot! Stop! Don't say it! Boss is currently happy!"The young police officer replied, his expression weird."But there's really something on the walls. Are you people pretending to be blind? Or illiterate?""You rascal!"Their bickering made Maurice sober up. Her laughter died down and her serious expression returned. She swept an icy glan
Just when Maurice was crazily ordering everyone to search for the boy, Agatha, who just recovered from the shock caused by her failed hypnosis, was now dazedly looking at the man beside her. She asked herself whether she heard him correctly.'H-he said he prepared a surprise for that woman?''When he said that woman, it could only be Maurice, right?''W-wait! He wants to attack that crazy and immoral girl?'Ignoring the voice in her head which reminded her that she was also just as immoral as the other girl, when Paul 's words finally registered in her brain, Agatha's lashes trembled, her eyes showing deep worry. She couldn't stop herself from panicking and before she knew it, she was already checking her List of Partners tab. How she hated that it only said, 'Paul wanted to teach Maurice Jensen a lesson, commands given to his assistant!'She tried to pry more information out of the system. Infuriatingly, it wanted her to pay 10,000 points for it! Agatha didn't know why, but it see
'I may be a fool, but not blind as to not see your insincerity. Also, what kind of topic-changing is this?'In reality, Agatha's intelligence had already been upgraded. Only, her emotions sometimes get in the way, thus, limiting her intellectual processes. Now that she somehow hypnotized herself to focus on incapacitating the enemy, her mind remained calm hence she could easily analyze what was hidden between the lines. Somehow, she saw the her who confronted Aeron Holmes at the corridor of their academy. Unfortunately, she had to be driven to a corner to force out the witty b*tch within her.'All along, I've been wondering why she didn't show herself and make a move against me after the Monday incident. Now I see, so it's this new host that preoccupied Maurice.''And she's probably losing if the other is higher in level.'A hint of gloating showed in her eyes. And when she answered, it was not about her proposal, but something different. "Miss Jensen, you did it again," she giggled.
Agatha tried her best to focus on the opponent while firing at her. Unfortunately, all her bullets missed. Maurice also rendered her afraid since she could even dodge them at close distance. In fact, she could still feel her scalp numbing after witnessing her opponent sliced the bullets in half using a long knife!She thought, this simply should not continue!So with her heart that was growing cold every passing second, she shouted, "Paul , close the door!"The man called widened his eyes in surprise, wondering if the girl said it in order to stop potential interrupter. Or because she knew he could deal with the gunmen who were trying to rush outside. Anywa
'I'M BEGGING YOU, JUST DO IT!'Agatha had already vanished from sight. Her sudden disappearance made Maurice dumbfounded. Since the target could no longer be seen, she stopped pulling the trigger. Her mind started to wonder whether Agatha also teleported.'She must have bought a one-time teleporting item from the shop! She's really a b*tch! To think she readily left her man behind!'Maurice continued looking around for several seconds. She tried to ask the system about Agatha's whereabouts. But as usual, due to the other AI system's masking, she gained no useful from the system. She could only angrily lower her gun and free a hand to punch the wall.'My plan to fa
Agatha's plan was to leave Maurice's life and death to fate and for now, all she wanted to check was if Paul was still okay. Then after that, she'd bring him away and ask his people lurking around Misty and Amanda to tighten their watch.After pushing the door open,"Paul , I'm sorry! Are you alright."When Agatha looked at the scene inside, she was dumbfounded to see everyone on the floor, except Paul, of course. He was unhurt and was only slightly sweating. It was a mystery how there was not even a drop of blood on his clothes or body when red puddles were all around the unmoving thugs messily scattered around him. Since all of them looked deader than the dead, Agatha gasped in shock, her breathing getting ragged as time passed.'H-he. killed them all within three to four minutes?''T-this..'Even though Agatha knew he was someone with bloodied hands, as she laid eyes on those he had just killed, it was hard for her to not get shaken. It was her first time being near to many corpses
