Meanwhile, as Jack was going on an adventure within antiquity store, two figures stood at the rooftop of a building a couple of blocks away from it and were observing his every moves.
"My mistress, are you really gonna choose him?" a beautiful lady with fair smooth skin, curly brown hair and a model like figure asked the figure standing next to her with a soft voice. "is it really that obvious astra?" a voice enchanting enough to melt the heart of any man sounded out from the second figure clad in white long robe.
"Of course my mistress, you have following him right from the very moment you first saw him in the forest, you even gave him the skill 'appraisal', it's my first time witnessing such an action from you" the model like figure replied back with any delay.
Hearing the words of her personal maid cause the lady to become lost in thoughts as she kept staring at jack's departing figure which had just left the antiquity store, only her bright sky blue coloured eyes and silver coloured hairs could be seen from under her hood. "Well, let's watch and see if he will live up to my expectations and if he doesn't, then I will search for someone else" the lady said after a while.
"But my mistress, such a move will make you fall behind your sisters" astra replied in a worried tone. "Enough astra, I don't want to affect the life of the man I might choose, at least not for now" the lady scolded her maid in tone which sent chills down her spine. "Am sorry my mistress, I was over stepping my boundary" the maid hurriedly apologized.
The lady in white robe didn't reply as she places her foot on air one step at a time, her maid who knew she just angered her mistress hurriedly followed behind not daring to alter a word, together they walked up into the clouds. If jack had seen any of them, he would have be shocked silly because they were stepping on nothing but plain air.
Of course, Jack had no knowledge of what just happened. Night time in Nigeria was always bad due to poor government and lack of steady power supply but the monsters invasion only made it worse. The Nigerian police department had monsters to fight on one hand and gangs, riots and robbery on the other. Order was at brink of collapsing.
Meanwhile as Jack was making his way home, he purposely avoided major roads and rather stuck to minor streets and alleys in order not to attract misunderstanding between him and the cops.
"Hey brat, be a good kid and hand over that backpack, if you know what's good for you" said a lanky looking thud while pointing a dagger at Jack the very moment he arrived at a particular alley. "Why?" Jack asked in a cold tone as he stopped moving and took a good look at the thud.
He was just a few inches taller than jack with dark skin, bald head and a nose ring. "Why.... why.... you have the guts to ask this grandfather why, when you are trespassing on the tiger tooth gang territory and this right here is tiger tooth number one right hand man" the lanky thud berated jack in a hoarse voice.
"Like I give a fuck whoever you are, either move out of the way or forever live to regret it" Jack spoke in cold tone while completely ignoring what the man had just said about his background. "How, how dare you thre..." the lanky man who was about lunch an attack on Jack immediately stopped moving the very moment he caught sight of Jack's katana and the dried up goblin blood on his clothes.
He became so scared he couldn't move or complete his statement. "Fuck, why the hell did I Tony have such a rotten luck to have provoked such a killer" the lanky man cried inwardly as he knew what the dried up green blood meant. Earlier today, he had witnessed his boss killing a goblin and he noticed that its blood was green in colour.
Tony had also tried to attack one but it ended in his defeat which had nearly caused him his life. "who knows how many goblins he have killed to have such a huge amount of blood on him" thought tony as he quickly kneels down and begged "please forgive this poor one, for I have eyes but failed to recognise mount tai"
Jack who had no idea about Tony current train of thought was a little taken back by his sudden change of behaviour but choose not to thinking about it as he ignored him, took a glance at a corner of the alley before quietly leaving.
Tony was ignored by him was now fuming with anger as he cursed out loud after noticing Jack was long gone "fuck you, you dare look down on I Tony, the number one right hand man of tiger tooth, the boss of the tiger tooth gang. you shall surely pay for this".
Looking around and confirming that nobody had seen what had just happened, tony quickly fled the scene. "Interesting guy, so, he had noticed my presence" said a voice as a dark figure silently walked out of the corner of the alley Jack had took a glance at before exiting it.
After what seems to have been a short moment of deliberation, it left in Jack's direction. In reality, Jack hadn't fully noticed the figure existence but he kept having a feeling of been stared at from that corner. Jack didn't like such a feeling so he decided to leave quickly.
Nine o'clock had already reached by the time jack arrived at the apartment in which he stayed as a tenant and after giving it a little thought, he decided to use the back door in order to avoid a misunderstanding with other tenants too.
Not even in his wildest dream would he have guessed that the very moment he sets his foot into the backyard, he would catch a glimpse of a graceful figure sneaking around in it.
