Winter was coming but there wasn't a single sign of it. Was it because Jack couldn't sense it. The cheerful air headed Jack was no longer be seen. It was as if he had driven into a corner by a hazardous Beast. Even though he looked pretty fine from the outside, his mind was on the verge of breaking. The winter sky was not sunny. There were large clouds that were coating the hot sun. It was not also a chilly morning. To be precise, it's dull weather. Not cold, not hot. It's a great day for walking by the roadside. Two individuals were doing it but there's expression was stiff. The morning wind gusts with a little bit of coldness in it. It seems like the chilliness had affected the individuals greatly.
Max made a deep sigh while glazing at Jack who's eyes were blank with no emotions.
"How much longer are you gonna keep the act. I told you it's not your fault. In fights, there's always a chance of death. That's why it's not a children's play." Max tried to cheer him in her way but her words didn't reach him or he just wanted to hear it.
"Are you still gonna let my word out from one ear to another ear? This is irritating. As if im taking with a ghost." Max was constantly trying to bring back Jack's self she knew. But Jack didn't even try to get back to himself. He was just following Max as she walked. It was as if Jack doesn't have his mind. He was like a brainless robot. His blank eyes were making it look more come to life. Max took the initiative in that mansion. She found out where Loki when from Mr. Henry. Apparently, he works with illegal immigrants. He brought them here and took money out of them. Well, you could say he also does human trafficking. Mac found a big list of his deals. Now, that makes sense how he got so rich. Every extremely rich person is connected with illegal or unethical stuff. That's what Max believes.
From that big list, there's a certain deal made with Robert. There was an address attached to it. Although it wasn't sure that Loki might be there but Max wanted to take the chance. Loki had to be somewhere. Even if it's other end of the world, Max would find him. There also raised another problem. It's Jack. He seemed to be mentally unstable. It was his first time killing a human. Not a boss, it's a REALLY human. So, it's reasonable to expect that. However, it caused Max difficulty. As he was a great asset to her. Jack's power is enormous. He was able to deal with a large group of people. Not to mention his supernatural powers. Most probably his sword. He's the only one who could wield that sword. Max put the recovery of Jack at held. For now, her mission is to locate Loki. It's been her goal from the start.
