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,"

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..."
