ASSASSIN'S BLADE

CHAPTER 4 - MY GRANDPA'S DAGGER

"Jeez, what an unpleasant guest we have here," I said as I support my body and got up. The one who sat in front of me was Maya. A fitting name for some who can disappear without a trace like magic. 

Technically she an agent from government that is code named underworld. As I said those not belonging to the underworld (real one) get caught by the officials all the time, because they want scapegoats to create a false hope that the government is functioning, while on the inside agents like Maya negotiates with the government and covers up for incidents that comes into light of regular civilians.

It is not at all a surprise that she is here after what happened in Udaipur. 

"After I came here settling the matters regarding the ruckus 'YOU' caused in the middle of the night near a tourist destination, stealing a bike and then completely thrashing it and then as if it was not enough you even stole a car which took me the whole day to find, you call me unpleasant." She said as she came towards me stomping her feet on the ground.

Her face has turned red and her eyebrows formed deep ridges. She has a very eccentric personality as compared to other agents. Among those that I have dealt with, she is the most emotional and overly dramatic. 

I guess sarcasm doesn't go well with her personality. 

"So what is it that you want?" I asked Maya who is still sulking. 

"Ah! right I almost forgot, you have to pay the 1 million dollars, which is approximately 73 million rupees as compensation for the damage you caused at the hotel. They don't mind the sofa or the carpet as it can be washed but they can't leave the matter regarding the glass pane that you broke and the compensation to the engineer to seal his lips. So what do you think?" She said as if it was natural for me to pay.

Well it was but who does she think I am. First of all I don't have that kind of money on me. If I had I would not have undertaken this messed up job. Secondly I don't give a damn. It was those idiot guards of Herrscher that caused all this, ask him not me.

"I don't have such money go ask someone else."

"Don't just casually say it as if I am asking for a loan!"she exclaimed. "Don't you think it is your responsibility to pay for the damage you caused?"

"Look miss?" I said "Don't you talk about responsibility with me, if I were responsible I would have never! ever! entered this field of work. So don't talk shit like that, okay?"

She nodded teary eyed. Maybe I went overboard with even using my killing intent, but I had to make sure that my thoughts are transmitted properly and that she wouldn't think much about it.

I may call it killing intent because it sounds cool but it is just me posing as if I will kill her any second. It is not something mythical that can make you from a distance. You have to be absolutely be within my range for it to work, and the person should be aware of it as well.

"Bu-But" 

"No buts, you can go back home now. I am already tired give me a rest." I said. I stood there with my hands folded.

She looked at me smilingly and parted her lips, " Your name is Mahendra in XXX Bank, your account number is 523XXXXXXXXXXX, and your net banking password is ********, isn't it." She said as she gave a sharp look. 

I have known Maya for a long time and the way she changes from being clumsy to being sharp is almost frightening. For long I have proved myself time and again in combat, but if I were to fight her one on one be it swordplay, barehanded martial arts or information I don't have a chance against her. The only chance I have is if I use guerilla tactics.
