Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 98. Bag exchange. 4
Riz who was still outside the door of the room saw someone lying unconscious on the floor.
“The teenager–“
Without a second thought, Jack walked in and looked at the teenager, kneeling and raising his left arm and touching the bandage that wrapped his hand.
“Thank God is alive. Oh?! The children even tried to cover their wounds with cloth. It seems they really know this kid. Moving him to a clean place like this meant that they really thought it was important. Amazing!”
Jack praised the blurred children's actions and re-examined the entire teenage section. After not finding anything strange on her body, she asks Riz to come in. Of course Riz was initially still very scared but he could not stop his curiosity.
‘Teen is valued at 100,000 Franc by Jack-sama.friend of Kaito and sister of Ryou. How'this? I'm really confused right now! At the time Arkan who should have faced all this, it was precisely me who was in the front line!’ as if shouting inwardly, Riz walked in
He clearly saw there were blood stains on the floor and all of them were from the teenager.There were two large plastic bags near the teenager and of course blood coming out of his wound.
‘His face..pale. I'm afraid she's lost more blood than I thought and she might have.’ Riz said inwardly while biting down her lips and looked panicked
Jack looked at the teenager's face and body.
“The color of his lips has started to change. Hmm?”
Jack looked towards the knife belt on his waist. He did not find the knife stored there, which made him think that the children had taken it. However, despite knowing it was still just a smile on his lips as if it meant nothing to Jack.
Riz who was still standing started to look at the teenager closer. He could not hide the curiosity so it raised a question in his heart.
‘What makes Jack-sama give that unreasonable opening price?’
“Riz, don't you want to see it closer?”
It just so happened that Riz was also very curious about the teenager. Without much ado he knelt down and approached her. He glanced at Jack who was smiling at him while asking him to kiss the teenager's left hand.
“Now, try to hold and kiss her left hand this”
“A–what?!” Riz was shocked to hear that
He even commented in his heart.
‘Wait wait wait wait wait wait, I'm not a faggot! Why should I kiss the hands of this teenager?! No no no, don't you think about it first, Riz!’
Riz held his left hand. Of course he knew that the teenager's hand was wrapped in cloth bandages. A deep red color indicates that the blood has not stopped. The order ‘kium his left hand’ said by Jack was done by Riz despite a bit of hesitation.
He was shocked and could barely say anything. Jack who noticed the change in Riz's face asked her with a happy smile.
“You who have become a corpse seller and are used to processing fresh corpses to be sold to this place must be aware of this, right?”
Lying that Riz didn't notice. From his pale face alone, it was clear that he was not only aware of it but knew of the unusual 'something.
“Da–his blood...odorless..”.
“That's exactly” Jack smiles happily with his handsome face
“Why?! Usually the scent of human blood is fishy or at least has a distinctive smell and–“
“Try your body and saliva?”
- Chinese
Riz was getting very scared now. She sniffed the body scent on her neck and stuffed her fingertips into the teenager's mouth to kiss her saliva and how shocked Riz was.
He stood up quickly and looked pale instantly.
“Mu–mustahil..things like this..”.
Riz thought hard with trembling hands.
‘No smell at all! How come?! Both his blood and saliva were completely unscented, this was definitely not a thing that normal humans had?! Who is he and what is he?! Could it be.Maybe Kaito and his friend were too..’.
Now, Riz understood why the opening price for releasing the teenager was so high and so unreasonable.
‘It's really dangerous! If it were true that Ryou and Kaito also have an oddity in their bodies like this and Jack-sama knows about it. I can't imagine what will happen to them later!! Shit, why even stray far from expectations like this!’
Riz could not say anything in his heart except fear and worry. It was completely outside of the scenario made by the four of them before coming to this place.
Jack, who was seen stroking the teenager's black hair, smiled and looked very happy. When he finished stroking it, he stood up with a very happy face.
“You understand why I'm no longer interested in those kids and refuse to let go just for a Justin corpse, right?”
“....” Riz was speechless with a face of shock
“Therefore I tell you that this teenager is very attractive. There is no human being in this world who has no scent. Unless this kid is not human either. But, judging from wherever he is still a child and also a human. How do I explain this strange thing?” Jack asked Riz
“I..I do not..tau” Riz replied with stammering and doubtful
“Therefore I will only release this child for the opening price starting from 100,000 Francs. If you have that kind of money right now, I'll give it to you. Did you bring it?”
“Kh..”.
From Riz's reaction, it was seen that he did not bring that much money right now. Moreover, since he was forcefully picked up by Arkan earlier of course he did not prepare much to carry.
Jack knew that and just looked at it with a smile.
“If you are satisfied to see it, let's go back to my office and talk about a lot of things there. My wife's cake hasn't finished eating either, has it? If he comes back and sees that the treats he made are still left, I have to think of a lot of good reasons so that he doesn't throw his knife in your head. Come out”
Jack walks past Riz towards the exit but Riz is still standing looking at the teenager lying on the floor.
‘He's this close to me but I can't do anything to save him!! How can I take it out of here without making a time–‘
“Riz–“
- Deg
“–I hope you don't have any thoughts or you know what's going to happen to you. You didn't forget who I really was, did you?”
- Gleek
The sound of Riz gulping down his saliva was heard this time, indicating he was really being threatened. Though he was only thinking of saving the teenager lying on that floor but it seemed like Jack had another premonition.
“A–aku will not...do crazy things that will make me end up like Justin-sama.Jack-sama”.
“It was nice”
Riz looked slowly and he saw that Jack was already at the exit of the room.he would not be surprised why Jack was there so quickly. Moreover, his walking technique that lacked sound was truly the hallmark of a professional assassin. It's amazing that Riz's role model.
Jack who was already standing outside now waved his hand with a smile.
“Come out, I want to close the door”
Riz reluctantly left the teenager. After the door closed, Riz's mind could not stop thinking about the teenager.
‘Not only not fishy but also not smell anything from his body and blood. Should I assume that the child has a genetic disorder? If true, then the high price that almost makes lower middle class people like me fall this poor.
Riz looked at Jack who was in front of him with a sharp gaze and continued his perception inwardly.
‘Did Jack-sama misidentify the teenager so as to ignore the previous two children? But, that was the most impossible thing! They are professional killers who are used to killing. It is impossible that they do not realize the difference between genetic disorders and normal human body conditions. Teenagers are normal and healthy! Means there's only one thing that can explain it’
Unconsciously, Riz muttered softly with his mouth.
“They are not the same as us all”
“They?” Jack who heard that asked Riz
“Bu–not anything” Riz became panicked when Jack asked like that
“Oh, I remember that Arkan said that the teenager was a friend of the perpetrator of Justin's murder. Do you know what his name is and what he looks like?”
“A–aku...I don't think..I can..say that to you, Jack-sama. Since Arkan himself also..do not tell you” Riz replied with fear and stammering.
“Hmm..Then maybe after this I can meet him for a while at the gate. Although maybe my wife had met him back then but there was no harm, right? Ahahaha” Jack laughed casually
As soon as they entered the lobby at [La porte du Paradis], Jack seemed to greet Lucy back then up the stairs but Riz was seen ignoring the woman. His mind was not calm from thinking about the teenager's injuries.
After Jack re-entered his room, he seemed to eat his wife's cake happily.
“Seren my love is indeed smart! Is this what it was called yesterday..red..vivid? Red velets? Whatever it is, this cake is delicious! You also sit down and eat this valid red, Riz”
Riz sat down and looked at the cake on the table.
“Red velvet, Jack-sama”
“Really! That's his name, red velvet! You're a genius, Riz” Jack praises Riz while eating his cake again
Jack even told a funny story.
“You know, my wife is getting better at cooking, but she's not good at naming her dishes. Just lunching earlier, he referred to the young goat meat he cooked as goat baby meat. I almost had a heart attack hearing that. What a sweet little carelessness, right? Ahahaha”
Jack enjoyed his own conversation. Then suddenly Riz opened a serious conversation again.
“Jack-sama, are you really going to release it for 100,000 Francs?”
Jack stopped eating and put his plate on the table again.
“Sure, but I do not have the slightest intention to lower the opening price. It is precisely possible that I would raise it to 200,000 Francs to 500,000 Franc”
“500.000 Francs?! That's really an unreasonable price at all?!” Riz was like having a heart attack hearing that
“Why? You saw something special about that kid yourself, didn't you?”
“Tapi–“
“I'll leave for you 100,000 Francs like I said”
“.....” Riz is silent and does not so continue his sentence
“Let's get back to business. I've told you the opening price, I've also invited you to see for yourself, you've even touched it and checked it. Now, do you have any money for the price I'm asking now?”
Riz. The answer is obvious that he doesn't have it. At least even if he had it, he didn't take it now.
“A–I have it but I don't take it now. A–Arkan came to my place suddenly and I never thought I would be invited to this place again to accompany him to meet Jack-sama”
“Hmm, what a pity. If you don't bring it, it means I can't give the teenager to you”
“Ta–but can any guarantee or system installments be done? Te–of course I would do anything to take him away from here!” Riz insisted on bidding
Jack looked at Riz with a serious look then asked him.
“Riz, imagine I am a seller of gems and diamonds. To buy precious stones does the guarantee system apply?”
- Deg
Riz's heart was shocked to hear it. As if unable to reply to her words, Riz simply fell silent. Jack continued his words.
“Will gem and diamond sellers wait for customers who do not have the money to buy the precious stones? Of course you who are the merchant also realize the answer and that applies to me as well. I'm not gonna wait for you to buy that kid, you know. If indeed you do not have the money then forget about the sale and purchase transaction and just give up”
“Menye–“
“At the very least, if you want to buy it before the opening time arrives I will still give you the starting price as I offered. But if it's opening, I'll raise the price and will start thinking of selling it as a whole corpse, a living human or a truncated”
