Manstoul city, inside Luthar's bar
A beautiful lady was walking towards the bar counter. She had white hair and her eyes were brown. She was wearing a silver white dress. She stopped walking when she reached the bar counter and sat on a chair there.
"I will have the usual." She said to the bartender. The bartender was a middle aged guy with a rough build. He looked at her and started to prepare her order.
"Oh god! I swear the job I am doing is so shi**y. I just want to leave it and run away." The beautiful lady said.
The bartender placed her order at the table and said,"you look more stressed than usual today. Did something happen?"
"Ofcourse I am stressed. The kind of work I have to do is not ordinary at all. They give us crazy missions and there is always danger of losing our lives. If it was not for the money they give us, I would have quitted a long time ago. You know that I just came from a very long and dangerous mission two weeks ago. I was hoping that there would be an increase in the salary, but they just don't give a sh*t about it. I have already waited for two weeks and they still haven't decided whether they will increase my pay or not. The kind of work I have done deserves a promotion. But I just want an increase in my salary and they can't even do that." She complained as she gulped down the glass of wine she had ordered.
"That is what you get for working for a shady organisation. You should choose carefully where you work." The bartender said after listening to her.
"Oh comeon, I am not here to be lectured by you. Just shut up and give me another one."
"You know the rule here. First you have to pay for your first one." Bartender said.
"I did not bring the money with me today. I will pay you next Saturday. Give it to me without money today."
"Did staying away a year made you forget your routine. You used to come here every weekend. You never forgot your money back then. Infact you came last week too. Sorry, but I won't give you another glass without money. You should start thinking how you are going to pay for your first glass." The bartender said in a calm tone.
"Can't you give it to me for free just for today? Please!"
"I said no. And no means no."
"Don't be like that. You should help a lady in need. Especially when the lady is as beautiful as this one. Come one, give her another glass. I will pay for it." A male voice came from behind.
The beautiful lady looked behind her and saw a man wearing a formal dark coloured three piece suit and black top hat. As soon as she saw the man, her eyes remained wide open. There was a sudden increase in her heartbeat. Blood started flowing rapidly throughout her body. Her body started shivering. She was terrified to her core. She wanted to scream, but couldn't. She wanted to run, but couldn't. Her whole body was taken over by fear. It was like a ghost from past had come to haunt her and take her soul along with him.
"How have you been, Alisa?" The man dressed in formal attire said.
"S..S...S.. Sam....what are you..." She stammered.
Sammy looked at the bartender and said,"Prepare the order. You can take your time preparing it. And do not try to eavesdrop on our conversation."
"This is my bar. My rules are followed here." Bartender said with a bit of anger.
Sammy put his hands inside the cote and took out a sac filled of coin and put it on the table. The bartender stared at the sac for a few seconds, then took it and stared preparing another glass of wine.
"Sam, how are you still ali...I mean..." Alisa was about to finish her sentence but Sammy interepted her.
"Sam!? You do not have to act anymore, my so called childhood friend. You can call me by my real name. Ooh but you don't know what that is, right? But you do know my other name, right? Say my name, you know who I am."
"J..Jordan Deathwalker." Alisa said in fear.
"That's me."
Alisa tried to gain her composure and calm her mind. After calming herself a little bit, she asked,"How did you survive and how did you gain your memories?"
"How long do you think you could fool me with those false memories? You thought you were using me like a pawn, but what you did not know was that the whole chess board was under my control."
Alisa did not completely understand what he was saying. But right now she was not even interested in understanding it.
"How did you find me?"
"Let's just say that I have got four eyes in the sky. Nothing can be hidden from them."
"Are you here to kill me?"
"If I kill you right now then you wouldn't be useful to me anymore. I am here to save your life from myself." Sammy laughs after saying this in a humorous way.
"You just have to do as I say. And then I won't kill you. But if you don't, then I think you know that you cannot do anything to me with your little power of taming beasts." Sammy said.
"And I suppose by saying "do as I say", you mean I have betray the True Earthlings?" Alisa asked.
"It's not like you like that organisation or anything. You are there just for money and I don't think that money is more important than your life. You must have heard rumors about me and I am pretty sure they were not good at all. It is very easy, you help me and I spare your life as simple as that."
Just as Sammy finished his sentence the bartender came with a glass of wine and placed it near Alisa.
Sammy looks at Alisa with a smile as if asking what will her choice be.
Alisa takes a mouth full of wine and then finally gives her answer.
...
Sammy returns to the hotel He was staying in and knocks at the door of his room.
Andrew opens the door and lets him in.
"Has our Assassin lady already left?" Sammy asks Andrew.
"Yes" Andrew replies with hesitation.
"Hey mister! Are you a bad guy?" Andrew asks, a little terrified.
"Louisa must have said something to you before she left." Sammy said to Andrew. Andrew started to look down at the floor as if avoiding his gaze.
"A bad guy huh! I am not a bad guy, but that does not make me a good guy either. It is up to people how they want to judge me. I mean all they do is judge after all."
