Chapter 58: Home of a Detective

Mr. Lukas didn't seem to waver at my apologies. Did I make him angry? I didn't know what to do. So, I thought apologizing would be best. Shit, I made another false assumption.

"Don't let it bother you. A...Got anything notable?" He was rather calm. I thought he would beat the hell out of me. After all, I have seen him in action. How could I forget the torturing moments?

"No, the same."

"Okay," Just like I thought I have been thinking too much.

As I got an overlook of him, A small cardboard box appeared before me. It wasn't huge in size. The box wasn't sealed. So, I could peek at what's inside of it. Some fills, I see.

"As you can see. I'm leaving now."

"Huh? Sir, you don't have to pack all your stuff and go home. This is just a suspension. You don't---" that's what I should have said but rather I said.

"So, you're leaving for goods?"

This was the first time I saw him smiling. The smile that I never got.

"You should be happy. You don't have to follow my rakeless orders now." Unwantedly, I felt sad. I didn't have an answer to his mockery. We having our happy moments here but somebody couldn't stand it so he approached us.

"Oh! What lovely parting moments! Should I bring some wine? Oops, it's not allowed in the office. " He was a person who hates Mr.Lukas. The reason might be easy to grasp but I wonder what the real reason behind his hatred is.

"Noah," Mr. Lukas uttered his name with a bit of irritation. Perhaps, he didn't want to bump into him. Now that he had seen us there's nothing else we. Could do. I moved back slightly making him a place to stand in our conversation.

"What? You guys continue! I was enjoying this movie clip." He was trying to provoke us. But we had a lot of encounters with him a lot. I know nothing best would come arguing with him. But today he was on a rampage. Was he got some power boost because of Mr. Lukas's suspension?

"Well, good for you. You got what you wanted. You were trying to get out of here for a while now. Don't you? Always leaving work and disobeying orders just to catch those patty monsters. You sure deserve this." His face made me want to punch him.

"Stop it!" I couldn't help but speak out. "You're going too far! Mr. Noah! I wouldn't tolerate anymore."

"Hey, hey," He tried to calm me down but failed as I didn't pay any heed to him. I truly hate this person. He would do anything to hurt Mr.Lukas. I heard a rumor that he was once worked under Mr.Lukas.

"That's more than enough, Reyes." Mr. Lukas patted my shoulder with pitiful eyes. I don't know what happened but I got a feeling that he has something to tell me but not here. I backed off and began following Mr. Lukas on his way out.

"Well good luck, Mr. Lukas, I hope you wish you a terrible life onward." Mr. Noah wasn't stopping but we didn't look back and just kept walking.

We were finally out of the office. Mr. Lukas turned around before me.

"You did a great job, Reyes. From now you're free." What kind of joke is it? Free?

"As I'm suspended, I wouldn't be able to give you orders. The Chief would appoint you to under other senior officers like Mr. Noah. So, you don't have to worry about that." Huh? The fu*k? Even if someone gave me a diamond, I wouldn't be working under him.

"As of today, I bid you farewell."

"Wait!" I don't know but I didn't want him to go.

He gave me confused stares. I looked down and uttered those words.

"I know you don't want me to get involved with this internal corruption. However, I'm more than enough involved and I don't want to back off." Shit, why did I say that?

"I-i know it would bring danger on my job. But the times I worked under you, I realized something. Something that I didn't understand in all those years. Devotion! You give away your life just to catch a criminal, just to solve a case. You took this job more seriously than any other person who works here. They just come here and got home. Nothing happens and the case is closed. But you never closed a case unfinished. So, sir, p-please…" shit it's embarrassing, I want to hide myself.

"So, you want to help me?" He said with a gentle smile. The sun was pouring down. The sunset's yellowish light bask his body. It was a pleasant moment. The chilly wind blows past us.

"Fine"

"Seriously! Are you not messing with me?" I jumped out of joy. Fu*k I got carried away by the momentum.

He nodded slightly.

"You better get to work. You can't get late." When I heard that a flash of memories came to me. Right, I did get late. Haha. I scratched my head in embarrassment. In the end, I got scolded by him.

"Here." He threw the car keys at me. Being shocked I somehow managed to catch it.

"Get into the car. We got business to do."

I did as I was asked. We both entered the scratchy old car that was once on demand.

I sat in the driver's seat and Mr. Lukas beside me. The car recks of cigarettes and beer. He must have spend good times living in this car. The steering wheel is thought rounded just like an old model car. The side mirrors weren't clear. I wonder how he drives with those blurry mirrors. I felt like I'll have a hard time driving this junk As I was about to start the car, he stopped me.

"I contacted his friend, Peter. He was his closest friend. He said that Jodan took a part-time job a few months ago."

"Does that thing had anything to do with the case?" I was dumb that's why asked such a question.

"You told me that he never worked more than a month in any part-time jobs."

"Right."

"Look here.."

He pulled something out of The cardboard box he had this whole time. It was a photo.

"Good Meat."

"I understand now. This is where it works now. But then again the shop owner wouldn't take a criminal as their part-timers, would they?"

"Well, only visiting there would give us answers."

Chapter 59: Nicolai! My name

The smell was hard. Did someone piss here? The alley was flooded with dense water. Probably because of the drain. Narrow curves form from corner to corner. Strange black garbage bags laid on each corner. It was an ideal place to hide a crime. Not even the police would search a place like this.

"Swoosh"

A sudden wind passed by me. It was so fast that I couldn't grasp it. The air was getting chilly as the night had fallen. Huh? I felt an intense smell of blood. It was near. Very near. I began walking slow-paced. Wait, something is dripping from my left shoulder, making my t-shirt wet. I glanced left to check and--

"A--" my eyes widen. It is a mixed feeling of shock and astonishment.

"My shoulder---" I couldn't able to utter a full sentence. Nothing came out after the first word. A small sharp knife stood still on my shoulder as if declaring war. Intense blood came out pulling it out slightly. But that didn't hold it back. It was still in my flesh just like a brave warrior.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" As I couldn't hold onto my pain, I screamed at the top of my voice. Something is wrong. My regeneration is not working. The knife was still there.

"It hurts---"

"Doesn't it?" A voice that was not mine. It echoed throughout the alley. The empty alley was still the same. There's was no identity of that voice. Who could it be? Why did he do that? No answer was given. Just a blast of laughter continued. I fall holding my left hand. The pain was severe. I intended to pull out the tiny yet strong knife just like you find in Hollywood action movies. But I was wrong it needs more courage than that. I lowered my head and clenched my teeth.

Why didn't the system went in battle mode? Perhaps because I wasn't aware of the danger. The system works oddly.

"Wait, did I pick the wrong guy?"

That sounded kind of odd.

"You're that guy who came to meet me. Aren't you?" I said while clenching my teeth. "Why did you do that?"

"Why?"

I was barely standing. "Well, Since Kurama said high about you."

"What does that even mean?" I didn't understand what did he mean by that. Kurama the blood dragon? Mr. Heriss and others warned me about him. He's supposed to be powerful.

"Nicolai! My name." He revealed his face by coming out of the corner. "I thought you would be a strong opponent. Guess that's a disappointment. I was a fool to be so cautious of you."

Apparently, he thought of me as a strong enemy.

"Kurama, that bastard fooled me. But, it made my work easy. With just a little effort I can fight him now.

"What are you even saying?" I asked as I couldn't understand his mumbling.

"Tch" he had a scornful expression. "I made a deal with him, if I kill you right here, he would give me a chance to duel him."

I was shocked as expected. Kurama appointed this to kill me. He was the one who sent that woman to kill Jessica. Thinking that boiled my blood. The rage that I kept myself from for a while now again manifested me.

"Kurama?" I said with upturned eyes.

The eyes of mine were slowly turning bright red like the red moon.

[Battle mode activated: you would get a boost in every skill.]

[Resist shield activated.]

My breathing became heavier. I was like a bull who saw the red flag.

"Whoa, whoa, you got some balls, brat."

He pulled out two small blades. It was so sharp that it could easily cut a person in half. At that moment I didn't feel fear. I wasn't panicking. I was calm but not composed. My emotional rage had engraved me so hard that I could think another way.

"You got something under that innocent face of yours? That's pretty amazing."

I didn't pay any attention to his sloppy talks and made my move.

I dashed forward and jumped into him. For some reason, my eyes were locked on his gut. I felt like tearing his insides out.

"Aah!" I yelled while striking. However, my attack didn't even reach him.

"Too slow," he was avoiding my bow one after one. Why he was so speedy?

I tried to back off as I wasn't getting anywhere but at that very moment, he swung his blade, cut through my hand, and stepped on the ground swiftly. Everything happened so quickly that I couldn't figure out what actually happened.

"Haha, weaklings die." He said nonchalantly.

My left hand was barely holding. However, it regenerated back to normal.

"So, I didn't pick the wrong brat." He said glazing at my hand. He thought I was just a human.

"Jodan, You can call me that." I gave away my name. I don't people calling me a brat or anything else.

"Here!"

He kicked me into my gut making me split blood. Its impact was intense. Shit, I felt like my liver had blast out.

"Hehe, how's that? Doesn't it was painful?" He was right. It was painful as hell.

Then he kicked again so hard, making me fly out, and slammed onto a car that was parked nearby politely.

"Slam"

"Bump"

The blood flooded out of my mouth. I couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Why are you not attacking? This isn't getting fun like it was a while ago.

I held my gut and make a pathetic smile. The smile that tool every energy of my health.

"I wouldn't hurt you because you are&----" he didn't even give me a chance to finish my words. A flying blade went near my eyes. It was probably a centimeter distance from the blade to my eyes. If he was a bit careless I would have been blind for the rest of my life.

"Those blades aren't my made. I got my hands on them when I was underground hunting for prey. A researcher in the police department has those. It was specifically made to kill monsters just like you.

"I envy you." I said with a grin."You're able to live as a human…"

"What does that come from?"

"You are a human aren't you?" I could see his surprised face. Truly it was long since I saw a real expression.
