Now, a Steward
984 Words
Carter couldn't afford to delay his master's business because of these pesky bugs. Unconsciously, Carter hastened his steps
After a few cross roads and hard turns into the alley, shutting across paths and small routes, Carter managed to shake off those who were following him but there was one who had clung to him with utmost perseverance.
Carter knew he wouldn't be able to dodge this stalker's sight if he kept walking like this. He hastened his steps and cut some corners but the stalker doesn't let him off his or her eyes. Carter made more attempts to shake off the stalker but he failed to stop.
He already tried his best not to kill today, he gave the stalker a chance by running away but since the stalker doesn't stop, he is not going to hold back either. As Carter stopped, green goo started emanating from his body, the green goo is so faint that it is almost invisible.
"Hey, I heard you were gathering information about The Deceiver, I know some things about the person. I can share if you want"
A feminine voice sounded from behind, judging from the tone of the voice, the speaker must be living a thug life.
On hearing those words, Carter stopped his green goo from shooting at the stalker. Carter turned back to the stalker and saw a lady.
A lady with crew cut hair and strong facial features amongst women, her nose stud was exceptionally eye catching
When Carter saw the lady, she looked familiar. She was the one he saw at the police station where he was hired by a new master
"This lady must be acquainted with the master, I have seen them together before," Carter said to himself.
Carter doubyrd the validity of this lady's information especially when she called The Deceiver 'that person', that means she doesn't even know whether The Deceiver is a man or a woman. He still waits to see what this lady has on the Deceiver because this is an assignment by his employer.
His employer is not just someone to be trifled with, he is the strongest person Carter had ever seen. He will do anything to get this job done
The lady looked at Carter, he was carrying dozens of big books and he didn't look tired, exhausted or stressed. The lady was amazed and scared of Carter's strength, just like she had always been. The lady is Emma Eddie and looking at Carter being this nice and submissive made her realize he is harmless.
"What do you have on The Deceiver, don't worry about the payment, you know I can afford it judging from his much I have spent on these books" Carter offered
"I don't want money, I only want you to promise me something" Emma Eddie replied
Carter sighed as he showed his discomfort on Emma Eddie's bargain. He hates this kind of business, he doesn't even know what this lady might want him to promise. After thinking for a while, Carter agreed only because he needs to get his employer's job done.
"What is it that you have?" He asked, making his discomfort obvious in his tone if speaking. That tone has a threat in it and Emma Eddie understands that if her information is not worth Carter's time, it might just kill her.
Emma Eddie hardened her face to show Carter that she is not afraid, even though she has gone through much stress to get her hand with this information that she has. If not for those bastard b****y Ridges that got her into this, why will she go through much trouble.
She doesn't care about what Carter is going to do, that has always been her habit. She lived all her life in the street and she has never cared about what is going to happen, she only cares about how what is happening now is going to benefit her.
If she doesn't enjoy the presence, what future did she have?
Emma Eddie cursed those guys in her mind, the guys she got the information from. Those people used her to her fullest potential and even almost killed her before she was given the information
"Damn bastards everywhere" she cursed
She stuck her head in the air and asked "so, do you have a deal?"
"Say what you know" Carter responded
"The Deceiver is…"
"You are not going to say anything to him, everything you know is all mine. Unless you want to die should you speak"
A male voice interrupted Emma Eddie and threatened her. A bird feather flew to Emma Eddie and hit her hair. It's not that she is skilled enough to dodge the feather, it's the attacker that does not need her dead.
"Black Hawk" Emma Eddie exclaimed
"And you Deathface, you won't leave here alive" Black hawk continued his threats.
Thus is the part of Black Hawk's power that always annoys Emma Eddie. Gus' ability to use birds as his Avatar. Clearly, Deathface or Carter killed Black Hawk at the police station, and it turns out that bird is just an Avatar not the real Black Hawk.
A man dressed in black coat that covered him from head to toe walked up to Emma Eddie.
Emma Eddie wanted to run but her instinct told her not to. No matter how fast she ran, she can't be as fast as Black Hawk's feather weapon.
Carter's face hardened, Gus' eyes turned red and a smirk appeared on his face. Surely, he will not allow anybody to stop or hinder the mission his employer gave him. Since Black Hawk came his way, he will clear him out of the way
"Hmph, so you are not dead, you are lucky. But sometimes it's better not to come back from the dead cause this time, I'll make sure you don't reincarnate."
Carter spoke with an angry tone
