[???'s Point of view]

There I am in a window that leads to the port where the freelance guild would come, and one of the commanders will die for Psychic City to be having a comeback after all those months of little to no growth in the economy.

I got my sniper ready to shoot down one of them.

As this Lumberjack came in, I concentrated on him, lining my shot up with my finger on the trigger, about to shoot the back of his head.

I nearly pulled the trigger when ALYNX HAD STOPPED ME FROM MAKING THE SHOT!

All from kicking the sniper away into the floor.

Alynx:" WHAT ARE YOU DOING VICTUN?!?"

My face had turned from calm profession into a face that both could curd milk and look like someone who had a flashback.

Alynx was hysterically angry.

Alynx:"Why in all that you are a weaponry collector because of how the craftsmanship those guns are made. But oh no! You are basically using it as an excuse to use one for your own goal for either profit or revenge. What about that time on our first date?!"

[Five months ago, Alynx's point of view]

I was at the bar having a Diet Speaker, waiting for whoever it is on my first blind date. I was nervous about who would be there, but I didn't show that from the outside.

It has been 6 weeks since I have been able to get the freelance guild up and running ever since I got them alternative marketplaces, Steamburg, the Lowland kingdom, and a week ago in their home town of peaceful plains, the freelance guild has been a staple of transport, deliveries and manufacturing on the go.

We were hoping to be able to even sell in Psychic City since we were able to create a new market, but after another meeting with Boris Jension, this ended up with me taking a 5 silver tablet fine to make up for 'loss taxes'.

He's just so ridiculous.

As I have my first sip, Victun Jension arrives at the bar. He asked for a fake martini, and the bartender made his fake martini. He then looked at me and smiled.

Victun: "Guess I'm not the only one who is on a blind date."

We sat down on the menu from the round table with our drinks on the table, reading the menu from our phones before ordering our main course only and putting our phones away.

We talked about our jobs, me being involved with PCB News before switching over to the freelance guild as a social media marketing manager to encourage more people getting infrastructure built, and tools to be prepared with. Victun works as an undercover police officer to prevent  crime and create safe places without being recognised since his father is the prime minister for Psychic City.

We then got our dinner, and I had a beef romen while Victun had a spaghetti carbanara. We also about our hobbies at home. I usually read manga, novels, and play video games with a group that meets up every Friday night. While Victun went to theatre shows and films and had an ongoing collection of guns.
