Chapter Six: Conspiracy Part I

Gusion's POV

"I can't believe I'm doing this!" I don't know how many times I've uttered that words. Watching woman from afar was disgusted.

Seriously, I never woe women. They came and go and I never gave a damn. I've never been interested in anyone, except to that red haired woman who's sitting a hundred meters away from me and cleaning her rifle with a piece of cloth. Yes. I'm watching even the littlest thing she do. I even following her wherever she go. And Pete's sake, I am noticing even her simple gestures.

I have proven that she is really the black sniper. Even she seems innocent, she has a keen senses. She's good at her chosen weapon. Contrary to her sweet and angelic face, underneath is a brave and independent woman.

I hate myself for liking everything about that woman. I already wanted to leave that place since I don't have anymore plans on killing them, but I simply couldn't walk away.

How disgusting.

I already have found the genius magician they're talking about. He was just a kid, blessed with rare abilities. The red haired woman follows him secretly everywhere he goes. He must be her brother.

I took a deep breath. Instead of keep on arguing myself for this uncontrollable desire I'm feeling, why can't I just enjoy and ride with the flow?

Yes. Why can't I?

I will get that woman.. the Gusion way. One corner of my lips lifted with that thought.

Harley's POV

Without looking back, I spoke calmly. "What do you need? I can give you a fight that you won't forget." I removed both of my gloves and hid it. Ready for an one on one battle.

I know someone is standing behind me. I can feel the force, the power that oozing from him or her. Different from the force I feels everytime Lesley's around. I grinned widely. Yes, I know Lesley's here. I just pretending I don't. And sometimes, just like what I used to do way back when I was a little, and she was a teen, using my magic, I escapes from her if I got a chance. Luckily, I've got one today. I made her believed that I was sleeping.

Anyways, I know that the presence I'm sensing right now isn't Lesley. It's more powerful.

I finally looked back when that someone did not respond. A man. The age, more or less ten years older than mine.

"You are not here for me, are you?" I asked again.

"I'm here for the red haired woman."

I thought so. What's new anyway? I laughed silently. Since time immemorial, Lesley is always like a flower that can attract a lot of bees effortlessly. She's beautiful. I only can't pinpoint why she's not aware of that.

"What do you need with Lesley?"

"I.. I..", he combed his hair harshly as if very frustrated. "Damn, why I am stammering in front of a kid?" He murmured, just for himself.

I can't help but to laugh mischievously.

I find this man interesting. Very interesting. And I almost thought, everyone who comes Lesley's way are all the same. I guess, I was wrong.

Seems like this man got more frustrated with my laugh. I don't care, I laughed some more.

He just watched me irritatingly. "I just wasted my time here." He said and was about to walk away when I shouted.

"What's your name, my soon to be brother-in-law?" My eyes still shining with amusement.

He stopped. After processing what I said, he smiled, making him looked younger. "Gusion."

"Gusion. Come back here tomorrow. Same time. Goodluck."

"I don't usually thank people, but now I thank you."

Phew! Brutally prank. But that was made him more interesting. "Another thing, my sister hates being courted in usual way. Be original."

He looked at me for a few seconds before he nodded.

He really is a serious type. Well, goodluck to him! And to my sister. Haha!
