Chapter 164: First job begin
Chapter 164: First job begin
(Ryoto's pov)
In the last 3 months, a lot has happened. First, I had a lot of progress with my training. Zangetsu helped me learn how to control Reiatsu so I wouldn't alarm anyone during my mission. In this world, I need to be careful about releasing my energy, so I was thankful to him for doing that. It wasn't hard since it was a similar feeling to what I did while shooting Getsuga Tenshou, just backwards... kinda.
I tried to be with Rin as often as possible, but obviously, we couldn't be near each other the whole time because of our jobs, but I think it's getting better with her. I asked around her job, and it seemed that she was opening up a little. Before, she didn't want to talk with anyone unless really necessary, but now she was participating in small talks at times. It's still far away from being completely fine, but it's progress.
I was also creating contacts in the underworld. Nothing too deep, but enough to get me at least one mission.
Today I'll get the info on the target.
Before I went on my way, I said my goodbyes to Rin, which wasn't easy. She has become more attached to me as of late. We'll need to fix that after I come back.
Currently, I'm hugging Rin.
Ryoto: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's only a week or two, and I'll be back, and in another 3 months, we'll start a new chapter in our lives, and who knows, maybe inside Seireitei, there will be answers to some of our questions."
Rin didn't say anything and hugged me tighter, and I started patting her head.
Ryoto: "Come on. You know me. I'm strong, and I'll have Zangetsu with me."
Rin: "You mean the sword that you talk with at times?"
She joked a bit.
Ryoto: "That's right, so don't worry and stay with your friends from work."
There was silence as we hugged each other.
Rin: "I'll miss you. Come back fast."
Ryoto: "I'll do my best."
Afterward, I got her to the place where she would be staying and just as it was agreed upon before. I gave them some extra money to take care of Rin and her food. A little motivation so they won't throw her away before I come back. I also may have threatened them a bit so they won't try to cheat me of my money.
How did I get this money? I managed to save up from the jobs I took legally and illegally. Today's mission wouldn't be the first I will complete. Before, I was forced to finish some of the minor tasks. Mostly stealing to test my capabilities, and after 3 months of doing that and getting underpaid, I finally got my first serious and solo job that I'll get paid well for.
I walked into the old building that was seemingly absolutely to meet an old man that I had met more than a few times in the last 3 months. His name was Genji Oshima.
No one in this place knows my face as I always am wearing a cloth over my face l. Only my eyes are visible, but since I have them always closed... you get it.
Genji: "If it isn't Yuuki-kun. Would you like water, maybe some tea?"
He sounded polite, but I didn't want to waste more time than necessary, and I knew that he wasn't as nice as he wanted me to think. No one in this type of work cares about your well-being. They only care about the results and money, and as long as I provide both of them, they'll play nice.
Ryoto: "Drop your act, Oshima. Give me the target's info so I can start working as fast as I can."
Genji: "Eager youngster, aren't you. I've seen many like you. Most of them died on their first mission, but as you wish."
He took out some papers, which I started reading while he began to explain.
Genji: "You are to kill Yan Fon. She is the wife of the Corps Commander of Executive Militia. The client has a grudge against him and wants him to suffer as much as possible that's why you are targeting his wife. He would also like to take care of his children, but he wasn't wealthy enough for that, so he will need to be satisfied with just that.
Yan Fon, thanks to her husband, isn't associated with Stealth Force, but their children are. They have 6 children, with the youngest being a girl who is 29 years old. As you are still young, I'll remind you that means that she looks like 5 years old in the world of the living, but that's not important."
Listening to him, I heard some familiar terms. Yan Fon, the name is familiar.
Ryoto: "Is one of her daughters named Soi Fon by any chance?"
Genji: "Not as far as I know. Any more questions?"
Ryoto: "Yes, are you trying to kill me?"
I glared at him and released some of my Reiatsu.
Ryoto: "Are you really expecting me to assassinate the wife of the Corps Commander? She is probably heavily guarded."
My voice was cold. Once I show weakness, they'll use it.
Oshima started sweating, feeling the pressure I emitted and started explaining himself in a hurry.
Genji: "Of course, I wouldn't send you to your death. Yan Fon is currently living in the 3rd district with her youngest child. The security is minimal as it is a secret that she is staying there. The daughter will start her training next year, so they wanted to make her last year as fun as possible before her training begins."
I lowered the pressure allowing Oshima to breathe more easily.
Ryoto: "The pay isn't worth the risk, you know that?"
Genji: "I apologize for that. The client wasn't the clearest about the target when he got here the first time. We, of course, demanded an increase of payment which we got, and that's why you'll also get a bonus for successfully finishing the job."
Ryoto: "Have money ready when I return."
With all the information needed, I left.
