Chapter 3: Choices

Lihbi gazed at his reaction for a bit before continuing to explain her conditions, "Don't worry we are going around and finding it, all I need is information on where it is. First, we need to set our conditions for when we are working and how we are going to be doing things. As I said earlier, I need to know everything."

Kurapika recovered from his shock, enough to understand her explanation. "Why would you know everything about me while I would know nothing about you."

"This goes both ways. My job is pretty large and in order to complete it I will, eventually, tell you everything."

"Okay, I work for the Nostrade family. I work as a guard, so I will only be able to work during the night. Unless.." Kurapika trailed off.

"Unless, we incorporate the job into your work."

"Precisely, it won't be too hard considering the job I wanted done."

Lihbi processed the facts spewing out of the both of them. Kurapika wanted to find the scarlet eyes, which are extremely rare, especially for one that isn't involved in the mafia. Though, from what he said, is that he worked for the nostrade family, one of the most well known names in the underworld. Working as their guard he would have easy access to finding the eyes himself, and by the means of it he seems to have the brains to do it as well. So what is it that he is hiding? He didn't seem like the type to want some sort of company, in fact he seemed like the type to want to do things alone. Kurapika also didn't seem like he had wanted to enlist someone to do all the work for him, either. So what was it that he wanted? It was clear to her that there was some other ulterior motive in his request for enlisting Lihbi's help.

Before she was about to question him she decided it would be better for her to gather more information. "If we are going to be finding the scarlet eyes then I know someone to assist us with the finding of the eyes. But before that I need to know everything you know about the eyes, such as how many of them you would like to obtain. Also I'd like to see your hunter license."

Lihbi motioned for him to sit in front of her desk, as she opened her laptop to search for open auctions. She opened her identification app to make sure that the license was real. Kurapika moved to the front of her and handed her his license. She scanned and verified it, opening up the hunter website to allow for a more enhanced search.

Kurapika looked towards Lihbi, trying to figure out how he should word his next sentence without having it sound very illegal, even though it was.

"I would like to obtain each and every single pair of scarlet eyes," he concluded.

Lihbi paused for a moment. By every second the difficulty of the mission grew, and Lihbi was getting worried that if she was wrong about his motives that the price that she had requested would be too expensive.

"Legal or Illegally?" she questioned.

He brought his he upwards towards the sky before facing her once again. "I don't care, though I'd like to have all of them as fast as possible. Therefore most likely we would have to take them illegally."

She nodded and brought her fingers to the keyboard, to be honest she didn't care if they were to do it legally or illegally, but this set her doubts even higher.

"So Kurapika, if you work for the Nostrade family don't you already have access to being able to find the scarlet eyes?"

"Well ye-"

"Then what are your real motives here?"

"Danchou, I found them," said Shalnark.
