Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

Chapter 12 - I'm A Professional



Seeing Loki waiting for his reply, Luke touched the item hidden at his back and felt himself calming down. As soon as he calmed down a bit, the suffocating feeling disappeared. He then looked at Loki with a smile on his face.

"Hey man, why so serious? So it turns out that little friend was your brother, I didn't know that. Still, who was threatening him? I didn't threaten him at all, I just talked to him a bit and told him to pass a message to you."

"Hmph, so now that I'm here you want to beat me up, is that it?"

"Well, you did beat up my boys and got them into some trouble with the cops, so I say that's fair, don't you think so?"

"Fair? It was your guys that beat up my little brother first."

"That's because your brother wouldn't share his wealth."

"You have an answer for everything, don't you. If you want to beat me up go ahead and try."

"Oh, you truly have balls of steel. Don't you see there are thirty of us in here and only one of you, not only that, but you actually came here unarmed? Not to mention I have called for reinforcement just in case you call some people for help. They're waiting somewhere near just in case you try and escape."

Luke wasn't sure how many people Loki would bring since this was an obvious trap, so just in case Luke asked for reinforcements from a neighboring gang. Unlike them, those were true blue gang members with guns. He knew that those guys wouldn't care even if Loki had somehow involved the cops. Seeing the smug look on Luke's face made Loki sigh as he shrugged his shoulders.

"I see, so that's everything you had. I was worried for nothing."

"Huh?"

Luke couldn't understand why Loki was acting calmer than before he entered. 'Did he go crazy from the fear?'

"Come on boys show our guest some hospitality," Luke gave out an order, but only Bull who was standing beside him charged forward everyone else was sitting still.

"What the f*ck are you guys doing?! Didn't you hear what I just said, I told you guys to go and f*ck that guy up!" Luke who was shouting at his companions saw that the charging Bull stopped in front of Loki and then suddenly collapsed.

"Did you not notice? No one from your group aside from you is still conscious." When Luke heard what Loki said he approached one of his subordinates and finally saw that he was indeed unconscious. He then looked at the others and saw that all of them were unconscious.

'Since when?!' Luke then stared at Loki the fear he was feeling a while ago came back with a vengeance.

"What did you do?"

"I snuck into this building an hour ago. One by one I incapacitated your subordinates. I only spared the one beside you since you were talking with him." Hearing what Loki said Luke slowly backed away.

"If you were already here since the beginning, why didn't you take me out then and there? Why have that whole conversation with me?" Luke tried to distract Loki by talking, while he was secretly sending a signal for the guys outside to come back.

"I didn't attack you back then for three reasons. The first was because I wanted to see what kind of person you are by having a little conversation. Before coming here I asked the people around about rumors of you guys. You do extort money from students and do get into fights a lot, but you haven't killed anyone, kidnapped anyone, or have dealt with drugs. I think you and your pals still have some leeway to turn back from what you're doing."

"Huh, are you some kind of hero of justice? Wanting to save us, to go and become good citizens."

"Hmph, you have no idea kid, I'm the farthest thing from a hero. I'm not here to save you, I'm here to give you a warning. That's my second reason for not attacking you a while ago. Like I said I came here to give you guys a warning, and since I'm giving out a warning someone needs to hear it, right?"

"What is it that you want to say?"

"We'll get to that later. As for the final reason, I needed to know how many men you had, just to be sure I got everyone. I know that you called those guys from the outside to come back, all this talk is just a distraction."

Luke started sweating profusely as he placed his hand on the gun he was hiding behind his back.

"If you know what I did, why didn't you stop me?"

"That's because there's no need to. The supposed gang members outside, I've already dealt with them."

When Luke heard what Loki said he immediately got his gun out, but as he was about to aim it at Loki he saw something flash by. Loki had thrown some yarn at Luke and entangled his hand. Luke's right hand then swung upward, and it was at that moment multiple strings of yarn entangled his limbs. Luke tried to free himself from the yarn, yet the more he struggled the tighter the yarn became.

Luke couldn't believe that he who could easily rip a book in half with his bare hands, wasn't able to free himself from some yarn. He was completely immobilized.

"Now do you see? If I wanted to I could easily kill you and your friends. It's a good thing no one has hired me to kill you guys, because if so, you and your friends would already be dead. Killing without getting paid isn't really my style since I'm a professional."

When Luke heard what Loki said he couldn't help it as his face became as pale as a white paper. Luke had goosebumps all over. His heart raced as he looked at Loki's expression. Only now did the question popped up in his mind, what kind of person did they mess with?
