An Hour Later...

Y/N:
So far, everything looks normal...

You walk around and see some bounty hologram.

Y/N:
Lumiere...

You go near to the hologram. You examine it. He has a white hair. He's wearing a white sleeve and gray like vest. You can really capture his face since it's only his side profile that has been captured. He seems so familiar.

Y/N:
(He looks like Xavier but nah it's impossible. I cant even see his face full but 100,000,000 bounty is a lot) I guess it's to be expected that so many people are after him.

Guest:
Move aside! It's about to start!

Someone moves you aside, you almost tripped.

Y/N:
Hey! You...

You're about to release some anger when...

Y/N:
(Wait, it's probably better if I stay low- key.)

You walk to where the crowd assemble themselves.

Y/N:
(More people are here. They're surprisingly calm.)

All the light turned off.

Radio:
There's a price to pay when a wish is granted. Will you be the hunter or the hunted tonight?

The crowd starts cheering and clapping.

Y/N:
(It's starting...)

Radio:
Hunting Day will now commence.

A robot ball-of-eye suddenly appeared in the air. It had this red-colored pupil. It was like the eye you saw on the window.

Y/N:
It's that eye again!

It look at you for a moment then starts cheering the crowd by moving around.

Y/N:
(Is it here for me? No, something's off... I should hide for now...)

You walk as fast as you could to get out from the crowd but a light suddenly lights up and it focuses on you. You are literally in the spotlight.

You look around and notice the crowd is standing in circle, cornering you. A man shows up and points at you.

Guest A:
There she is...

Another man shows up.

Guest B:
This is the prey...

Man after man shows up from the crowd. And one at a time they start charging at you. You load your gun and ready your stance.

Y/N:
It's coming...

One by one they fall. You were confident until on grabs you from the back. With all your force you jerk your head back, he loosen his grip but it's too late. They're so many of them charging all at once. You fell down and kneel to the ground.

Y/N:
(It worked...!)

You're about to get up when a man wearing a black suit approach you carrying a needle. Inside was a nearly transparent liquid. Your gaze were fixed on it. He lean down and whispered.

Man in Black:
C-003 neurotoxin. If you're smart you won't move.

Rafayel's P.O.V.

As he watch from above, seated in a sofa drinking a whiskey, the man infront of him breaks the silence.

UNKNOWN:
The more enticing the bait, the more dangerous things can get. Most are clueless to it.

He puts down his drink and looks at the man. The man was wearing a blue lined suit and a red tie. On his left suit pocket was a red handkerchief and above it is like a pin-logo of evergroup.

Rafayel:
Now's not the time to celebrate. The big fish we want hasn't fallen for it yet. Did you bring the stuff I requested?

On his pocket he grab something, its a black box. He put it in the center of the table and Rafayel grabs it. He put it in his pocket then return his gaze to the commotion below. The man look at him.

UNKNOWN:
You're fine with handing over a fresh catch just like that?

Rafayel take a sip of his whiskey then smiled.

Rafayel:
Do you really think they can handle the prey I caught?

Rafayel:Do you really think they can handle the prey I caught?
