"Wh...who is there...."
Suddenly one of the guys asked, his eyes wide with surprise.
They scanned the area, but no one was in sight. It was puzzling how someone could appear so suddenly, catching them off guard.
"You ask me when you were the one who came here, I was just sleeping here, you were the one who had woken me up...."
A mysterious voice broke the silence, drawing their attention with its unexpectedness.
"Well, there is too much smoke here. Why don't we talk after clearing this mess...."
The voice suggested, then waved a hand, conjuring a gust of wind to disperse the smoke.
Susss.....
A rush of wind swept through, clearing the air and revealing the figure before them.
Before us stood a man with jet-black hair and eyes that gleamed like fiery rubies, casting an enchanting spell upon the world. Clad in a sleek black coat and matching pants, his physique hinted at hidden strength beneath the fabric, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind about the power he possessed.
The man's crimson gaze swept over them, then fixated on me, aa a big grin spread across his face.
Suss...
In an instant, he vanished, leaving them bewildered.
"Haaa...."
Suddenly, I felt a grip, lifting me into the air. I looked around to see blood-colored eyes watching me with great interest.
"I feel something very different coming from you....."
The voice remarked, then his eyes shifted to a vibrant orange as they examined me who was floating before him.
"Aaa... A blood ability..... You are truly a special one, aren't you...."
The owner of the voice exclaimed with fascination.
"Hey, give her back. I don't care who you are, just give her back, and we will leave this place without saying anything....."
The guy, who had been stunned until now by the sudden appearance of someone who swiftly snatched the girl from his grasp, found himself snapping out of his daze upon hearing the stranger's voice.
'The heck is going on with this guy? First, he pops up out of nowhere, and how the heck is he moving so damn fast? I'm the speedster of our crew, but I couldn't even catch a glimpse of his movements. It's like he just vanished into thin air! And now he's flying through the air with that girl...'
The guy's mind raced with fear, spinning theories about the bizarre situation as he struggled to make sense of it all
As the unknown guy gazed down at him with his piercing crimson eyes, he maintained a chilling silence, his expression as cold as ice. Not a single word escaped his lips as he observed the guy with an intensity that sent shivers down their spines.
With all six of them trembling in fear, I stood there bewildered, unable to comprehend the surreal situation unfolding before me. It was as if reality had taken a detour into the unknown, leaving us grappling with the unknown forces at play.
"Hmmm..... Ok if that's what you want...."
After a brief moment of silence, the guy nodded and released his grip, causing me to plummet to the ground from the mid-air suspension.
"Aaaa...."
Shock rippled through me as I landed with a thud, confusion swirling in my mind as I tried to make sense of his sudden action. A wave of fear washed over me as I realized the implications of his words, my expression betraying the terror that gripped me.
"Wait, what is that!!..."
Confusion swept over them as they struggled to understand the situation.
"Though this girl has special abilities in her blood, she is not that important to me... She doesn't even know how to control her abilities. I don't have any use for her, so you can take her away...."
The unknown guy spoke, his words bringing a mix of relief and despair to the group, unsure of what the future held.
"I thought we had to fight with him but it seems he was just a guy who was all talk...."
The leader thought, a sense of relief washing over him as he observed the unknown guy with newfound understanding.
"No, don't let me go with them, please! I beg of you...."
I cried out, desperation creeping into my voice as I pleaded for the unknown guy's intervention. He was my only hope of escaping this dire situation, and I couldn't bear the thought of losing that chance.
"Please, I will do anything, but just save me...."
I implored, tears streaming down my face, my heart heavy with fear and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the others jeered and mocked, oblivious to the gravity of the moment, while the unknown guy regarded me with a mix of curiosity and intrigue.
"So, you are saying you will do anything...."
The unknown guy's words pierced through the chaos, his gaze penetrating deep into my soul, sending shivers down my spine as I trembled under his intense scrutiny.
"What is the meaning of this? You said you would let us take....."
The leader of the Assassins attempted to speak, but his voice faltered, stifled by an invisible force, leaving him struggling to convey his thoughts.
"Tell me....."
The unknown guy's voice echoed with an air of authority, drawing my attention as I turned towards him, meeting his intense gaze head-on, feeling his warm breath against my skin.
"Will... You....Do.....Any.... thing....."
His words hung in the air, laden with significance, as I hesitated before nodding slowly, my heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination.
The unknown person regarded me with an inscrutable expression, his gaze unwavering as he laid out his terms.
"Then I will save you... But in one condition..."
Excitement surged within me as I awaited his proposition, my eyes lighting up with hope as I anticipated his next words.
"FORM A CONTRACT WITH ME....."
