บท 27: Manipulate (1)

Four days have gone by since the incident in Derry's apartment, Jason has no news about Miss Hunter but he is not bothered by it, he knows she will come when she is done with her stuff.

Jason didn't have much to do during these days, instead of roaming around in the city or spending time at the Rose Bar.

Today was the same, he is in the Rose bar drinking with Vanessa by his side, Jason is in no mood today to do anything but drink and smoke as he was busy planning how to get the chunk of Blue silver into a legal auction house without revealing his identity as they ask for the sellers Identity before they auction anything.

As he drank his beer he noticed a woman entering the bar, she is wearing a black leather jacket with tight leather pants, Jason recognized her, she is our Miss Hunter who has come to take away Jason.

She looked around the bar and finally noticed Jason sitting with Vanessa, she approached Jason and walked in front of him.

"Can I borrow him for a moment?"

She looked at Vanessa and asked, Vanessa, didn't know who this woman is, she looked at Jason to ask what to do, he nodded at her.

Seeing Jason nod, Vanessa got up and left, she turned and looked at the woman and went back to the VIP chambers.

"Come with me"

The woman said looking at Jason.

"Why should I?"

"It is for your own good"

"And if I refuse?"

"I will drag you out"

"Are you sure, have you seen around the bar properly?"

Hearing Jason, Miss Hunter frowned and looked around the bar carefully, she saw some men and women carrying guns and the main bouncers who are at the back also have big guns with them.

Miss Hunter was surprised seeing this, she didn't expect this bar to have this kind of security, from outside it looked like a normal bar but inside is a very different case.

"I advice you to sit down and have a drink, causing trouble here will either get you killed or raped, they don't care if you are a woman or not"

Miss Hunter frowned even if she is stronger than normal humans she cannot dodge bullets and to take on so many of them single-handed is stupid.

So she listens to Jason and sits down on the chair.

"Get this miss anything she wants, it's on me"

The bartender looks at Miss Huntress and asks her what she wants.

"Get me a wine"

She waits for it to get prepared and looks at Jason.

"I believe we haven't introduced ourselves properly"

Miss Hunter said as Jason didn't want to start the conversation and she was getting frustrated by it.

"We indeed haven't"

"Well then, My name is Ana and you already know my profession"

"My name is Jason Born, I am a local gangster"

"Born? That's a weird last name"

"It is, I gave it to myself"

"Why, may I ask"

"I felt reborn when I was a child, that's why"

Ana's wine was ready and she took it from the bartender and gave it a swirl and took a sip.

"Why are you here? I said that day I don't want anything related to you people"

"Well, Mr. Jason sometimes you won't get what you always ask, the world is not so simple as you think"

"Hahaha, so you are going to teach me how the world works?"

"Indeed, if you decided to join us"

"Listen, woman, I don't care what you people do and I don't give a fuck about what you people think, just don't interfere with my life"

Jason said as he finished his beer and ordered another one.

"You know you will regret this"

"I don't care"

"You will die"

"Then come at me"

"We can give you power"

Jason paused for a second and looked at her.

"And how will you do that?"

"Hehe, looks like you are same as others, a person who is in search for power"

Ana said with a smirk and sipped on the wine.

"Ha, its human nature to search for power, why do you think humans now are so blinded to make more money because it gives them power over the ones who have less money than them, humans never wanted wealth, they wanted power, the power to have control over their own lives and others as well, everything a human wants to do is for power, he may not realize it but he is still doing it subconsciously"

Jason said as he drank more beer.

Ana stayed silent as she took in what Jason just said, she knew he was right because she was also doing what she does because she felt powerful.

"Well then it will be in your best interest to join our organization, money, women, strength that surpass humans, you can get everything"

Ana said looking at Jason.

"You really are delusional aren't you?"

Jason said with a smirk on his face, by now he already has a grasp of what kind of woman our Miss Hunter is.

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you really think you are powerful?"

"Huh?"

"Tell me, do you think you are powerful?"

"Of course I am, I am way powerful than a normal human"

"You really are delusional"

Jason laughed after hearing Ana.

"Why you?"

Ana is angry as she thinks Jason is making fun of her.

"Tell me, Ana are you powerful enough to survive on your own in the world that you live in?"

Ana paused for a second and looked at him, she had no answer to his question but deep down she knew she has no chance in surviving alone in the world of supernatural and Jason knew it as well.

"I don't know!" she said.

"Of course you know, you know no matter what you do you won't be as powerful as the one ordering you or the one who is above you, this is just a false hope you created for yourself that you are powerful than a normal human but in reality, you are not part of the human world, you are part of that cruel world where you lie at the bottom of the food chain may be a little higher, I don't know about that, someday you might get eaten and no one will care, they will even forget who you were, how you look and everything related to you.

Maybe there might be some people who will remember you but they will talk about you for a few months and then move on with their own life"

Ana was stunned as she realized this, deep down she knew about it all along, she is a high-rank hunter in the organization and she enjoyed to flaunt her power in front of her juniors but she is not powerful, not powerful enough to ignore her superior's order, she is bound by a tyrant named as the Hunter Organization which always keeps a track on her.

"Truth is harsh, but that is who you are, your power is useless in the human world and in that world as well"

Jason said as the smirk on his face grew wider.

"Look at me, I am at the top of this human world, I am not bound by anyone, I am free to do whatever I want. What is the use of having power if you are bounded by someone, it all comes down to just a single person and that person is the one who is sitting on the top, just like me"

Jason finished his beer and kept the glass on the table and walked away.

Leaving Ana stunned on the chair as she thought about what Jason said.
