Chapter 51: Whim? Really? Of course Not
.......
Yasuo feined hesitance for a second before saying, "Sure, so shall we?" he then offered her his arm which she took, they then walked arm in arm with section 5 as their destination...
They took a seat after verifying their number Id then waited for the items they bid for to be delivered then they'll pay the price for the items they bid for, and the same could be said for all the other clients in the room.
"So..you are here specifically for the eyes, are you a body parts collector by any chance?" Yasuo and Morena took a seat next to each other then started a small talk while waiting.
"Nah, I'm a scientist of sorts, I collect anything that interests me, you?"
"I'm here instead of a client, as for the eyes... I have no interest in them," Answered Morena with the faint smile that only left her face twice across the night.
"Yeah, you give that vibe, as if you're not interested in anything." She just laughed it off, "That's an exaggeration."
"Take it as a compliment, after all, I find it quite attractive as I said previously,"
Morena narrowed her eyes starting to get paranoid, 'Is he just that perceptive or he knows something about me?
Did someone send him to seduce me? That's why he is saying I'm attractive even with how I am... well, It doesn't matter, I will know everything I need to know by the end of the night anyway.'
Suddenly the same man who acted as the auctioneer entered the room though what could be noticed is the nervousness and the sense of urgency on his face, behind him several men in suits also entered with guns in their hands.
"There has been an emergency, all of the scarlet eyes were stolen so I'll ask all of you to cooperate else we'll have to use force!"
Fear could be noticed in his voice which is understandable considering the most precious item on auction was stolen.
Immediately, complaints started getting heard everywhere with some complaining about the threat and the others wondering if the items they bid for were stolen as well and annoyance could be seen on Morena's face.
"Please cooperate, we'll search each of your belongings. We already closed the building so everyone in it will be searched as well,"
No one showed any further resistance, after all, while they brought bodyguards with them, they still don't have guns considering they're not allowed in the building and they don't want any enmity with the mafia.
Yasuo did the same allowing them to search him and opening his briefcase which is empty, the searching continued for a while before letting everyone go and giving them all their stuff back.
Yasuo exited the building with the briefcase in his hand and Morena next to him, "Well, that was disappointing."
Morena signaled something for the bodyguards then they nodded and left, "Your place ...or my place?" She said as a faint smile came back to her face.
Yasuo raised his eyebrows, "Oh? skipping dinner huh, well the hotel I'm in is close by," Then they walked arm in arm again.
....
"Wine?", "Sure," Asked Yasuo after they entered the hotel room.
He then went to the kitchen, opened a bottle of red wine, filled two wine glasses then went back to the guest room.
"Sit down and don't make any sound, the place is already surrounded so make any move I don't like and you'll die," That's the sound of Morena threatening him with a gun in her hand.
Yasuo let out a smile then took a seat while saying, "Well, you can ask if you have any questions then I can say what I have to say."
He added calmly, "But first, please have a seat and taste the wine, and don't worry, it's not poisoned."
Morena frowned seeing his casual attitude and wondering why her bodyguards haven't come yet.
"Who are you working for? are you or anyone you know responsible for the scarlet eyes' disappearance? Also, do you know who I am? Are you here to seduce me?"
Yasuo gave her a weird look that soon turned to a look of amusement as he said, "You really have no idea about how attractive you are, do you? But I guess it's just my preference."
That made her frown even more with a feeling of crisis rising within her, "Answer!"
Yasuo just let out a sigh, "I'm not working for anyone, I stole the eyes, and no I don't know who you are, I just found you interesting and decided to take you as my student."
"What!" Shouted Morena noticing the gun in her hand disappearing only to get her composure a second later, "You are a Nen user? So I guess no one is surrounding the place,"
To which Yasuo nodded while wondering, "You know about Nen but haven't learned it yet huh,"
The high-ranking members of the Heil-Ly family are Nen users and while it's rare for junior members to know of the existence of Nen, it's still possible considering she is an Illegitimate daughter of the Kakin empire's ruler and her manipulative personality played an important role as well.
"Ok, just kill me and get it over with, threatening me is useless," The faint smile disappeared, taking its place was an emotionless expression fitting someone who has no care for her own life.
Though a hint of disappointment could be seen deep in her eyes, 'Too bad, I haven't left my mark in this disgusting world, but leaving it is a plus...I guess.'
"I said I want you to be my student and I meant it. Since you know of Nen then that makes things easier, I will teach you Nen, in return all you have to do is to become a 1-star hunter under my teaching which will allow me to become a 2-star hunter,"
Said Yasuo while signaling for her to take a seat.
She took a seat while wondering, "Why me?"
"I wanted to take a student either way but I wanted someone interesting like you, what your course of action would be after I teach you Nen is interesting to me though you can say it's just a whim of mine,"
A faint smile came back on her face, "You're not afraid I'll turn on you?"
"Not at all," While saying that, he stood up then got close to her and she didn't show any resistance as she sat defenselessly.
He lifted his hand then struck to her chest only for his hand to go through her leaving a purple mark, 'Delayed Rose= ???'
She narrowed her eyes with a gleam of light surfacing deep in them, 'I only got general information about Nen but it appears that it can do much more than I thought but is this some kind of poison or curse?'
"If you tell anyone about me or any information I give you, the curse will take effect. Of course, you can still try to kill me, good luck with that..."
Yasuo had a look of amusement as he noticed the bright smile on her face as if she got the tool to achieve what she wants.
"When do we start?" She asked.
"You should first let your client know of the scarlet eyes getting stolen and finish any business you have.
Also, your two bodyguards are passed out in a black car near the cemetery building and come back here when you're finished, you should also prepare anything you may need since we'll move around a lot," Instructed Yasuo calmly.
"This is my contact information," He handed her his phone number to which Morena nodded then left, 'Well, if she doesn't come back in 32 hours then I'll just activate the ability erasing her existence...'
Once she left, his briefcase flew to him then it opened, what was revealed is the nine missing scarlet eye pairs. He picked one of them looking closely at it, "it is a beautiful color..."
