Chapter 3 Failing The Task

"Ahh" screams were heard throughout the whole Ling's Mansion. The feeling of a bullet entering your leg is no other feeling than getting your bone broken into pieces when it had first entered, but being cut open when you're still conscious is happening right now to the injured men.

"Ahh- Doctor, please be gentle." he spoke with his croaky voice due to screaming so much.

The other man, wearing a white coat that has a splash of blood on the ends, was trying to be as gentle as possible since he had also feared that the boss would come and follow the path of screams to punish him.

"Oi, Doc! Why don't you inject some sleep medicine into him or something to shut him up. My ears are hurting and I'm sure Doc doesn't want to check another patient or even want to be in the Ling's Mansion right now!" the other men spoke. The doctor stopped what he was doing for a bit so he could turn to face the man and talk.

"I would, but-" the doctor spoke but was cut off by the injured men.

"No- No, I'm afraid of needles!" he shouted while shaking his head side-to-side.

"You should be more afraid of me then needles right now!" a deep, frightening voice entered the room and caused all the other mens to keep quiet.

A tall man who is about in his mid-thirties, came walking through the door with a serious look on his face and rage still kept maintained in his eyes. The aura around him kept the mens silent and frightened of what was going to happen next since they failed to complete their mission.

"I've applied all of you to a simple task." he said as he made his way slowly towards a white drawer.

"Capture Nissan Twist and bring her back to Ling's Mansion, but even that simple task can't be done." he continued, his hands went to the handle of the drawer and pulled it open revealing a black handkerchief which he carefully grabbed out and unwrapped.

"You guys are no use. Useless!" He pulled the gun from the handkerchief and pointed it towards the injured man on the bed. With just one trigger pulled, it shot the men right in the forehead leaving behind a nasty hole with blood slowly leaking out. The doctor was shocked to witness such a scene and started walking backwards and away from the bed.

"Next time, don't come into the mansion screaming if you're injured!" he shouted and gave his gun to the men standing behind him whose head was bowing down.

"Boss please-"

"Please what?"

"Give us another chance!" the men pleaded with their boss.

"You've used up that chance! Tell me, how hard is it to capture an actress? I'm sure Nissan Twist is a ladylike girl so she shouldn't be hard to take and be driven back here." he spoke as all mens looked at each other.

"I'm sorry, boss. Ms Twist is actually... the complete opposite of a ladylike girl." one of the men said with their head bowing down.

"What do you mean by that?" The men's look at each other, not wanting to speak and are indicating that someone else should.

When none of the other mens spoke up or even looked at each other anymore, the men decided to continue talking. Allowing a loud gulp to pass by, the man opened his mouth as he stared up at his bosses terrifying look.

"Ms- Ms Twist. She has skills!" he managed to let out a sentence before shivering all over. The man, who was the boss of all of the mens, took a few steps closer towards the men and towered over him.

"What skills?" His deep voice full of impatience and annoyance was heard clearly since he was so close to the mens.

"M-Ms Twist-" "She knows how to fight, boss!" one of the mens from the group decided to cut in.

"Y-Yeah and that's h-how one of our m-mens got injured." the first one continued, having some courage after another one of them talked.

The man stared at the mens for a while before walking to the huge ceiling-to-floor window with both of his hands in his pockets. He stared out of the window and watched a bunch of random pedestrians walking on the street. He didn't believe that an actress who could play any emotions and act as any personality could be a fighter and take out 4 of his mens.

"Seems like I need to train my mens well..." he muttered out loud. He turned around to face the group of mens.

"Master Ling needs this girl within this month since his wife will be coming back to Stone City next month. His freedom of having any girl he wants will end and he desperately needs Nissan Twist."

"Boss, Why does Master Ling want Nissan Twist when there are other pretty ladies out there in Stone City?" one of the mens dared to ask. Seeing the look on his boss's face, he quickly bowed down his head while the men beside him nudged his stomach.

"Who doesn't want Nissan Twist?" one of the men whispered, earning a death stare from his boss who heard it.

"Correct." he said, which shocked all of the other mens that their boss had agreed with them for once.

"Master Ling wants Nissan Twist, not only for her beauty but-"

"But what, Boss?"

"Haven't you heard? Kevin Blade, Master Lings business rival, takes interest in Nissan Twist as well." the man spoke for his boss. The men looked up at his boss who soon gave a slight nod that it was true.

"I suppose so, but we're not sure if Kevin Blade is interested in Nissan Twist. It's just a rumor and since Kevin Blade has fans and admirers, they ship him with Nissan." the boss explained.

"But, in case Kevin Blade does take interest. Master Ling is planning to make Nissan Twist his before Kevin Blades gets too." he spoke and looked out the huge window again. The colorful street lights twinkled in his eyes, showing the exact same view he sees outside, in his own eyes.

"So you mens have to find out where Nissan Twist is and bring her back to the Ling's Mansion within this month. Master Ling's reward is one million each!"

"One million each!" the group of mens shouted and looked at each other with wide eyes.

"Yes, boss. We'll find out where she's going as soon as possible and we'll surely be back here before the end of this month." the men said and they all headed out of the room one by one.

The doctor took care of the dead man and by the order that was given out by the boss, he had to bury his patient to cover up the evidence and was threatened that if he dared to tell anyone about this then he'll be the next person to get buried.

New years eve has passed a couple hours ago, it is now new years day. So early in the morning to deal with a problem that should be solved by the end of this month.

"31 days should be more than enough time for them..."
