Chapter 12: Tiny Commotion
Chapter 12: Tiny Commotion
"Didn't you hear me?" The black-haired guy raised his voice quite a bit seeing Marcus who was still sitting there and not at all moving.
The people around looked in their direction. A lot of people were staring at them with interest and a few already started taking videos.
"That guy is the heir of Kellar Core Traders. They are the biggest business in anything related to beast cores in the Kellar Republic." One of them "tried" to whisper to his friend, but his voice was actually loud enough for people nearby to hear him.
His friend asked, "How can you be so sure? Have you been looking at his picture a lot? I mean to actually recognize a guy easily who I'm pretty sure you haven't interacted with is quite something. And it's not like he's a celebrity. I mean if it was a girl then it is totally understandable."
The one who first spoke punched his friend's shoulder and said "No you idiot. The news said that he would be coming here to Levi City to meet a bigshot from the 2nd rate countries. In that news, the guy who's standing by the door was with him. So after looking at that guy's face properly it was easy to identify him as Nikolo Krimz. You can praise me now."
"Hooray." his friend sarcastically said while slow clapping.
The other people who heard what the guy said, were surprised. Kellar Core Traders were an absolute behemoth not only in the Kellar Republic but also in nearby 3rd rate states.
They mainly do business in beast cores and have sponsored a lot of events making them have a lot of connections. Well, they are not the biggest business in Kellar but still one of the behemoths.
Nikolo is currently 22 years old and has done a lot of crimes that were wiped off. From vandalism, all the way to violating women. Being rich has its perks.
The bodyguard of Nikolo just stood near the door. He already saw that the red-haired teen is a lot weaker than the one he's guarding so he didn't need to interfere. This will just be another one of those things where Nikolo would abuse citizens.
Marcus of course made his aura feel like he's only at 6th rank recognition/warrior to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Nikolo's rank is currently at rank 1 elite so the bodyguard relaxed a bit and began focusing a lot more on the ones surrounding Nikolo.
"I said, I want you out of this seat." Nikolo once again said.
"I might have missed your name when I sat down, oh wait it wasn't here. Scram!" Marcus made a shoo sign with his hands. 'Of all the people here why me? Honestly just when I started to really dig this milk tea.' He thought.
The people around already know who the guy standing is. Marcus of course heard them but how could he care. A business behemoth in a 3rd rate state is nothing more than a bug.
"Hahaha, are you sure you want me to scram? You know I could probably make you disappear from this world in less than a minute. Now if you don't want that to happen, I suggest you move." Nikolo now looked at Marcus with a threatening smile.
Marcus wanted to send him to his grave. Every part of his body was telling him to do it. His asura blood was boiling.
He gritted his teeth but in the end, he stood up. It's not time yet. If he fights him here then it would only end up in him killing this black-haired bastard it will ruin a lot of his plans.
This is the human race, where the big guys can easily trample on the small guys when they like to. It is a race where the laws are treated like shit by the guys above while the little guys turn into a pile of shit when they commit something that goes against the laws out in the open.
Marcus stood up and went towards the door with his head hung low 'Just wait. I'll let you experience pain you've never experienced in the near future.' His vermillion eyes glowed for a second.
"Awww, why are you hiding your face? embarrassed? Are you going to cry? hahaha, fucker get out and don't show your face to me again." Nikolo mocked.
This was just his usual attitude, he looks for someone and messes with them because he enjoys having the power to.
The people around were thinking different things. Some were thinking about how this rich bastard is disgusting, some were thinking how cool it would be to have that kind of power, and some felt pity for the guy that walked away.
------------------------------
'Soon,' Marcus tried his best to calm himself down.
It's already around 6 p.m. and it's getting pretty dark, he also still has to go and hunt tonight.
He went back to the hotel and when he was close, he saw a woman holding a cat. Marcus approached them and saw that a man was trying to talk to the woman.
The woman was of course Eva. She was holding Nexus in her arms. The cat was annoyed at the guy.
Marcus went closer and said, "Hi Big Sister Eva." He then looked at the guy who was trying to talk to her and widen his eyes.
He has seen this guy before. During the fight when he got flung to a motel. He landed in one of its rooms and this guy was the one he saw in there with another girl. Only now, he has more clothes on.
"He's your first target tonight, don't kill him. We'll send him to the chamber and lock him up. I'll play with him tomorrow." Nexus sent a telepathic message to Marcus.
Marcus shook his head and laughed a bit. Fate is really cruel to some people.
"Eva, I've been pursuing you for a couple of months now. Don't you think it's time to give me your answer?" The guy who had slickback hair narrowed his eyes.
"I've already given you my answer, haven't I? I said no before, and I'll keep saying no in the future. Now buzz off so I could go home." Eva said with an impatient tone.
"The only answer I want is yes. You're not allowed to say no! Can't you see my devotion to you" The guy asked, inching closer to Eva.
Nexus seeing that he was getting closer was getting really ticked off.
"If you want to cause some drama don't do it here. There are a lot of people passing by and it's a public place" Said someone passing by.
Eva looked around and saw people were looking at them. Nexus snuggled closer to her very big boobs and purred.
"Eva I swear if you won't say yes to me I'll make you regret it!" The guy with slick back hair said in a frustrated tone.
Nexus' killing intent almost leaked out when he heard that.
"I said I don't like you Krieg and I never will." Eva turned and walked and stopped beside Marcus.
"Mark my words you lowly slut! I'll make you beg soon!" After he finished saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Now it was Marcus' killing intent that almost oozed out too. Not only because of this incident but because he recalled the one that happened in the shop earlier. He really wasn't okay at being threatened nor was he okay if people close to him were. Although he just met Eva, the slight familiarity he could feel from her is already enough to make her a close friend and even a Big Sister.
'Weak people really have it rough huh. But I'm sure nothing will happen to Big Sister Eva since Nexus is already attached to her. Hmmm, could it be she is a reincarnation of someone close to both me and Nexus. Nexus in particular. Haha, What am I even thinking? Even a coincidence like meeting after just landing in the mortal realm is already like fantasy. The probability of that is prolly extremely close to nil.' Marcus thought.
Eva looked at Marcus and apologized " I'm sorry you had to see that. He has been bothering me for a few months now and no matter what I do I can't get rid of him."
Marcus looked at her and said with a smile "Don't worry Big Sister Eva, I'll resolve this for you, or else my cat won't let me sleep."
Eva shook her head replying " No, it's my problem I should be the one taking care of it."
Marcus countered "How about this, I'll be busy for a long while and I need someone to take care of Nexus. Big Sis, you take care of Nexus for me and bring him wherever you go. In return, I'll deal with that guy. Deal?"
Eva thought for a few seconds. She looked down and saw Nexus who was making cute eyes at her and meowed.
"Alright. But can I ask what you'll do to him? You might get in trouble with the authorities if you are caught beating him up." Eva asked with concern while petting Nexus.
"It's nothing big, just let me worry about it. Also, could I ask where you live Big Bis?" Marcus asked.
