Chapter 26

"I am sorry that I am late!" I said as I bowed down panting.

"So what happened?" Asked Wolf as he turned around in his swivel chair to face me.

Why did he turn around like some typical main boss villain? The only thing left was the lighting, if there were blinds behind him, the scene would have been perfec———

"Yea, even if you have been late before, it's never to this extent. Your shift should have started 20 minutes ago." Rider piped in as he did tricks with a coin he had on him.

"Stop it, it's getting annoying." Wolf declared as he glanced at the coin flipping between Rider's fingers.

Rider threw the coin up in the air before catching it and shoving it into his pocket. That looked cool and reminded me of Connor from the game Detroit become human.

Wolf sighed then said "So what took you so long?"

"Um... I guess shadow clan stuff?" I prayed that he wouldn't be mad if I started with this, since technically it's the truth.

He nodded then I decided to start on what actually happened.

"Interesting, so the shadow clan is planning something to do with children. Did the man give you any hints on what they're planning to do with the child?"

"No, sir. He was simply a lackey used and disposed by them, he was only ordered to kidnap the child in exchange for some money. If you're wondering whether anyone else heard, don't worry, the child and woman escaped before the man started on the topic."

"Do they know who you are? Because if they do, you're going to be in trouble. The government doesn't like vigilantes."

"I don't think they know who I am. I made sure to cover my facial features with the hood of my hoodie," I took out the aforementioned hoodie from my backpack, "And I also lowered my voice. Now that I think about it, the man who was threatening the child and woman probably thought I was a male since he used male pronouns for me. I don't know about the child and woman though."

"I mean you do pull off the androgynous look sometimes." Rider shrugged.

"Really? Well, I suppose I never really cared about the girlish stuff, so I guess my dress sense became quite androgynous or something."

Wolf cleared his throat.

"Back to the main topic, you said no one was really near you when that happened, but if I remember correctly, that location is filled with buildings, so there's probably a few people who noticed the whole event. For now, we'll lay low and see what happens since we can do nothing about the witnesses."

"Yes sir."

"By the way, what did your so called lowered voice sound like? I am very curious, care to demonstrate? It must be quite convincing for the man to trust you." Drawled Rider as he played with the coin again.

"Like this." I said with the lowered voice.

Rider stopped playing with the coin for a few seconds as if contemplating something.

"It sounds a bit fake, but your voice was still convincing to a certain degree if I didn't really pay attention to the sound. That man must have been putting his worries first and foremost to have not noticed your voice." Said Rider as he continued to do tricks with his coin whilst smirking as if he's amused.

"Uh, thanks?" I said.

"I agree with what Rider said just now. You're not going to stop playing with the coin, are you? Well, let's start on the training. We'll do hand to hand combat and maybe I'll consider giving you a dagger to fight with if you do well today."
