บท 40: Last Minute Check

Jason carefully looked at the three people in front of him.

'These two must be her bodyguards, and she must be some kind of princess of some big family, I guess'

The elevator stopped at the 30th floor and the three got off the elevator, the woman glanced at Jason once and walked away.

'Such a strange human'

The elevator door closed and it started to go up again until he reached the roof, once he got out he looked around the roof and found out that this is a perfect place for sniping if the wind is on the sniper's side.

This is one of the tallest building around the auction house so he looked for other possible places where snipers could easily be placed, he found 17 good spots but only 5 had the best view where they could get their victim even if they enter or escape from the back.

After looking around for a while he decided to leave, he doesn't want to get seen by anyone on the roof.

After getting out of the hotel he rented a small room across the road so that he can keep an eye on everyone who is going in and out of the buildings around the auction house.

Jason knows that today this place is filled with things he has no idea about.

As time passed Jason noticed a few of them but he had no idea what they were, Jason received the e-ticket from Derry as it is already 6 pm, the auction house has started the minor auction event, not many are interested in it except some collectors and rich young teenagers.

As Jason was watching the surroundings of the auction house carefully he noticed a suspicious man with a guitar case enter the hotel he had checked before.

"Finally found one"

Jason laughed and go out of the rented room and walked towards the hotel where the suspicious man entered.

After getting into the hotel he saw the elevator directly heading towards the roof, he got into another elevator and hit the roof's button and soon the elevator started to go up, after a while he reached the top, he saw the man setting up something, he then opened his guitar case to reveal multiple parts of a sniper rifle.

The man soon started to put them all together and set up the rifle in position, he attached the scope and a silencer and left it to the side as he has a lot of time to spare.

He went to the side for a smoke, Jason saw this and snuck behind him.

Jason silently walked towards him and tapped his shoulder, the man suddenly lashed out towards Jason as sharp blades came out from the side of his forearms, Jason jumped back with a smile on his face.

"Who are you?"

The man asked as he showed off his blades that are literally coming out of his forearms.

'So this is a mutant'

"That is what I want to ask you? What are you?"

Jason asked with a smile.

The mutant didn't answer and charged towards Jason but he is too slow, Jason took out his weapon rod and simply thrust its sharp end towards the mutant's throat, the sharp end penetrated straight through the mutant's throat and came out form the other side.

The mutant's eyes were wide open, it was filled with regret, he knew he was going to die at his last moment.

Jason pulled out his weapon rod and blood started to gush out from the mutant's neck as it flowed through the creases on the floor and went straight towards the water pipes that took it to the drainage system.

"Tch, now my weapon is all bloody"

He took of the mutant's jacket and cleaned off his weapon rod, as it still maintained its shine, while the blue silver at its tip would reflect the moonlight hitting it even though it was still evening.

"Now let's check what our Mr. Sniper had in store for us"

Jason looked at the bullet belts around the dead mutant's waist, he took out the magazines from the corps waist and took out the bullets from them, they were very unusual bullets, it is shaped like a normal bullet but the tip is red in color, the tip is completely other material.

"So this is Alontine Ana was telling about, they may be useful"

Jason looked around and found some bullets that went perfectly with Loviatar, he couldn't find any bullets fitting for Azrael.

He then looked at the mutant's corpse.

"Now I have to get rid of it"

Jason thought for a second.

"Naa, why do I care, let's just leave it here someone else will take care of it and seeing that he is a sniper as well they won't cause much trouble around here"

Jason went out of the hotel and called Derry.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

Jason asked as he looked at the time on the screen it is 7 pm.

"I am still in my home, I will come there exactly at 8 pm"

"I want you to hack in paradise hotel's server and delete the recording and footage of me entering and leaving the hotel"

"Is it the one, next to the auction hall?"

"Yes, that's the one"

"Ok, give me a few minutes and it will be done"

Jason ended the call and went back to the rented room and waited for the first auction to end, soon his wait was over as he saw people exiting the auction house, he looked at the time and it is 8 pm, he checked out from the hotel he rented and walked towards the auction house, as he went near the gate he saw Derry waving at him.

"Brother Jason here"

Jason walked towards him and smacked his head.

"Quiet down you idiot"

"Haha"

"Let's go in and see how it plays out"

Jason and Derry walked in as took a seat at the corner of the auction hall, he had purposely told Derry to book seats that are close to the exit and so he did.

Now Jason just have to wait and enjoy the show he is about to direct.
