THE HUNT

Everything was in place for Joshua to raid Anthony's location, but the Sixest Hunters had no idea what they were up against because Joshua had failed to provide them with all of the data.

"Why are we bringing all these strange weapons, I thought we were capturing a human?" Elena (one of the Sixest) inquired of Joshua.

"Yes, the person we're seeking is a human being, a very dangerous one, which is why we need all of these weaponry to get him," Joshua responded.

"Is this wolf-bean? Why do we need wolf-bean?" Rio (another Sixest) inquired.

"And why do we need Animal Trap?" Lesser (a Sixest member) inquired.

"Alright, fine, why all these questions? I thought you were the greatest at what you do? I pay you to find someone and not to interrogate me while you're doing it," Joshua retorted angrily.

"You pay us to find someone for you, and that means we're doing it our way and with our own tools, not all this voodoo you have here," Cousin (the Sixest's leader) reminded Joshua.

"Believe me, none of your equipment will stand a chance against him; yeah, they will harm him, but all that suffering will just make him angrier, and he will kill you all," Joshua said.

"Relax handsome, we are the greatest Hunters in the Market, we have faced stronger men than this, and all of them are behind the bars or dead, just relax and wait for us at the meeting location, we will be back with the reward," Scarlet (a Sixest member) advised Joshua.

Joshua anticipated that things would go wrong, so he devised a backup plan and waited for the appropriate moment to strike.

They all arrived at the target site, and the Sixth Hunters formed a formation and prepared to enter while waiting for their leader's instructions.

"Elena go through the back, Lesser cover the right, Rio go for a good sniping position, Scarlet cover the left," Cousin said.

They proceed to their assigned position.

"No, sir, the first floor appears to be clear," Morel replied.

"OK, moving on to the next floor," Cousin said.

After a long search, none of the Sixest discovered Anthony, and they all decided to regroup when they heard gunshots from the basement level. They all raced to the basement, where they saw Anthony unconscious on the floor with Scarlet brandishing a revolver at him.

"Could you please confirm if we have the correct target, Morel?"

Morel checked over some details before responding, "yeah sir, that Anthony sir."

"Good job, Scarlet," said Cousin.

"Thank you, sir," Scarlet said.

"Lesser, tie him up and carry him to the car, Rio, help Lesser"

When Joshua entered the building, Lesser and Rio were tying Anthony up.

"What are you doing here? The contract was that you wait for us to deliver Anthony to you and then pay us the rest of the money."

"Well, plan's changed, leave me with the body, go out and see your boss, we've already agreed before I entered," Joshua explained.

Lesser attempted to use the comms to inquire from Cousin but before he could speak a word, a long finger tore through his abdomen and he began bleeding for his mouth, Joshua, was surprised, and Rio screamed so loudly that cousin and the other heard him and they all ran inside.

"Who are you people?" Anthony inquired quietly.

"We are the Sixest, we are hunters, and he hired us to capture you," Rio replied fearfully.

"YOU! I saw you the other day, who are you, and what do you want with me?" Anthony inquired of Joshua.

"Take a wild guess, Anthony," Joshua said with a smile.

"Are you from Edom? Have you been sent by HIM?" Anthony inquired.

"Heaven, actually, sent by God to return you to Edom," Joshua responded.

"I'm not going back there! I'll never go back there," Anthony said angrily and fearfully.

"It's not up to you," Joshua responded.

"Yes, it is," Anthony stated.

When Anthony attempted to attack Joshua, Joshua fired his gun, which was loaded with Wolf-bean.

"That item isn't going to hurt me" Anthony Brag

"Ohh, it will, are you familiar with wolf-bean?" inquired Joshua.

Anthony previously knew wolf-bean may knock him unconscious, so he jumped through the window behind him, but Joshua shot him with multiple shots of wolf-bean while he was jumping.
