POV : MIKAEL
As Mikael approached the man , their was a visible change in the mans expression from his earlier indifference to clear curiosity . His eyes sparkled with a curios glint and the earlier washing he had been doing on the mugs had stopped . Mikael felt it really wasn't making much of a difference .
Mikael never stopped smiling . A sort of strange smile that spoke of secrets that attracted the man to want to talk to this strange guest . The man did not know why , it was looking at an old friend he suddenly remembered .
" My good sir . apologies for my companions earlier rude behavior . Please , I implore you to forgive him . " Mikael had noticed the man had clearly not understood part of what he said but still nodded hurriedly quick to agree .
He had also noticed the strange satisfaction the man had felt when he referred to him as sir . A truly simple person to handle .
" Is aight . Alsz fogivens . " The man had puffed out his chest as if to show he was also very understanding .
" Delightfull !! But sir , I have a problem , and only you can help me . . . " He hesitated , carefully going over every word as his voice lowered silently making sure only the man cold hear . The old man also noticing the seriousness leaned forward while nodding thoroughly .
Mikael had found earlier in his life that people really liked to be part of some big super secret , to feel as if they were involved in something bigger than themselves and such line of thinking had never disappointed Mikael . In fact , it worked in his favor several times
" Aye , aye . " The man nodded his head , imploring Mikael to speak .
' Hook line and sinker ' Mikael thought alraedy sure that their was no escape .
" You see , me and my companion heard that you have some of the best horses . It would be our honor if you allowed as to rent some of this horses, which I'm sure are some of the best in this parts . " A compliment was a very strange wat to make someone do something for you . It would even make them feel obligated to help you
Mikael at that point had signaled to Renny who was now standing behind him watching the whole conversation with shock . Was this really the same guy from earlier !! The difference was to big .
But he quickly approached and gave Mikael what he wanted , noticig the negotiation were almost coming to an end .
Mikael had noticed the slight hesitation in the man's eyes . At that moment , he understood the level of his charm and therefore decided to capitalize on the situation . The man only needed a little more 'motivation' and the deal would be set .
" You see , I would not like to trouble you . . . " Mikael's voice further lowered but in the process , he slid over the counter something that instanttly caught the man's attention .
He noticed the man's eye's open in joy and the slight drool that leaked from his open mouth . If there was ever an expression for greed , this was it .
Mikael did not mind this fact , every human had things they desired and for the man , it was money . The easiest commodity to easily control people . The object that people killed to have
"HAhaha . Aye , aye . Old Henry can help ya out . " The man smiled brightly as he wiped the drool from his face . He quickly took the piece of money Mikael had slid over and even his intent was now joyous .
" Lot's of thanks my good man , could you please direct my companion for the negotiation . "
Mikael said and moved aside while pointing at Renny who had watched the whole process shocked and grumpy . How could a newbie have better charm than him ! It was clearly unfair .
Renny had always had terrible charm values so he could only complain to himself for such things , even the block Von had higher charm than him and such had been a topic for many arguments between them .
' SNORT '
The moment he had pointed at Renny , Old Henry's earlier smile disappeared to be replaced with a sneer . A certain level of unwillingness appeared and Renny could only grit his teeth in indignance at the blatant favourism the man was showing . His face blackened and if looks could kill , the man would be dead . Probably in the back of some ally with his neck cut .
" I'm sure you will take very good care of my companion Old Henry . "
Mikael still smiled that gentle mysterious smile that easily caught the attention of others . Old Henry quickly regained his earlier his earlier joy and hurriedly nodded his head in approval .
Old Henry was very pleased in fact , he was having a good conversation and most importantly he was earning money on the side ! How perfect !
POV : RENNY
" Follow along will ya !! " His voice had gone back to being rude as he motioned for Renny to quickly follow him for the deal .
This very reason was why Renny despised dealing with the in world characters . If your charm was too low , they would treat you like shit and maybe even ignore your existence . But if your charm was a little high , it would be like dealing with a long lost friend .
The thought of someone who was not even a contestant treating him like this fully angered Renny to no end . But he would hold it in . The mission was of more importance . The rewards were to valuable to lose just because of some random old man .
He moved forward and followed the man as he nodded at Mikael for the job well done . He wanted to question him for the earlier event he had seen but thought otherwise . Somethings were private . He was even more curious about Loan but that would have to wait . He would make sure he got all the answers he wanted later .
But as he passed by Mikael , he handed him some money . A value the system provided for the mission duration . " Book 4 rooms . We'll be staying the night . " There was no reason in wasting time searching for other acomodations when this place offered the same .
' Now , it was time to strike a deal ' Renny sneared as he followed the man .
POV : MIKAELS
Mikael looked on as the two went away , finally feeling Renny's gaze of his back . A mixture of curiosity and wariness that Mikael did not care enough to ask about . Whatever he was thinking in his head was of no concern to him . They would hopefully never meet again after this mission .
Mikael felt the cold metal in his hand and finally looked up to the counter once again . At the new person that had replaced Old Henry and was now doing a horrible job at secretly looking at him .
It was a pretty looking lady who was wearing a modest dress . She had brown hair and slightly dark brown eyes . A feature that was easily noticeable about her were her well endowed breasts and her slightly petite waist that moved in a hypnotizing manner . Mikael had noticed the slight resemblance the lady had with old henry . Not direct enough for her to be his daughter . Maybe a niece or a far of cousin
When their eyes met , her cheeks dusted red and she refocused back on the mags Old henry had not yet cleaned . Doing her utmost best to avoid eye contact .
Mikael found it oddly amusing . How her eyes wondered to him every once in a while and how she would immediately look away when their eyes meet a slight red coloring her cheeks .
Mikael smiled once more .
' This will be easy ' He thought quickly readjusting how he was going to act .
One of the reason he was grateful for the experiments he had undergone under his father was for this very moment .
Mikael had been severely trained on being perfect in any role he played. A form of training that his father said he would have to perfect even if it killed him , and it almost had multiple times . If he was not good , he would have to repeat again until it met the standards his father had decided upon . And those standards sometimes were very hard to meet .
' Are you training me to be a spy ' Mikael remembered he had asked one day after the countless experiment he underwent . It was in between a 'break' . And he had grown bored by how quickly he was adapting to the ever changing training plans .
' No , I'm training you to be a perfect human ' His father had replied . With his same apathetic tone lacking any semblance of warmth for what was essentially his son . But that day Mikael had sensed something different from the man
Mikael was not sure whether it was fear , or excitement . He could never understand his father . But as he looked at him that day . . . No as his father looked at the countless bodies lying beside his 8 year old son , fully in capitated , he felt a certain change in himself .
' A perfect human is also great pretender !! ' His father had once said to the young Mikael and those words would stick with him
One of such things Mikael was trained in was the subtle art of seduction . When to smile , how intense your gaze was supposed to be , what level of flattery to dish out to a person , how your voice sounded .
Every one of this thing had to be prefect , or he would be the one to pay !! Mikael felt a shiver run down him but quickly controlled himself . He would rather not remember anything to do with his father . That man also clearly had some screw loose .
'Which sensile adult makes a 9 year old seduce grown women ? '
Mikael despite anything , was a master at the art . In fact , in his original world when he was still running away from Loannis , Mikael had further perfected the art . Wives , sisters , friends .
He was at a point in his life that he required allies and he was not afraid to use lust as a weapon to accomplish his goals . And the people he commited the act with at certain points became addicts . Calling him at odd hours for them to ' deepen' their friendship .
His behavior changed as he leaned on the counter easily attracting the ladies attention, a visible complete change in the vibe he gave of . Their eyes met once again and this time their was no running . Mikael could feel her attraction from where he stood and smiled kindly , gently and he knew he got her when her eyes sparkled .
" What beautifull eyes you have my lady . " Mikael said and when she giggled softly , His smile only became wider .
" My name is Loan . May I know yours ? " Her excitement could not be hidden .
" Rebecca ! " Mikael took her hand and gave it a kiss . The whole time maintaining eye contact . He saw the change he waited for happened and smiled a hidden smile . A smile only he could see.
