Chapter 13

"Oh my God! Where the hell did that alcohol go??" Anne muttered in disbelief.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!" Kitty in astonishment expressed what she witnessed. A normal looking fucking man drank an entire barrel of wine in 10 seconds that humanly impossible on many levels.

"I-is he even a human?" Clarice stuttered in surprise as now her logic and common sense was challenged.

"Told you all, he is a man who has broken commonsense long ago." Emma added up maintaining a causal demeanor as if it was quite normal.

"It's not a big deal for someone like him," Mystique followed up with Emma. "Drinking a barrel of wine in 10 seconds even Cain needs a proper minute to finish, hell he had a head start….. This shit is crazy on so many levels." Wanda said acknowledging the crazy event and Conner's new side.

Like girls/Women around him Cain was also upset, angered however he had to accept the result without getting violent because of two reasons first Eric and Charles, second he himself agreed and witnessed Conner ability to drink, plus was warned beforehand.

So not resorting to making a fuss about his defeat, he just stomped his feet and ran out of Conner sight breaking multiple walls of the hotel as he neither had money to give nor gut to face his loss which Conner already knew so he let it go.

"What happened?" Eric enquiries as he rushes toward Connor's group in worried about the commotion. "Why did Cain run like that?" Charles also asked.

Then the girls explain things to them about Cain dare, his loss and entire issue.

Eric apologizes for his subordinate childish behavior which was maturely not taken seriously by Conner and he restsure him everything is fine.

"Just enjoy the party Eric, oh shit!"

"What?"

"I need to pee!"

"...."

Leaving the group behind, Conner rushed for the rest room quickly. It was then he reached the toilet to release his pressure and overheard a voice belonging to a woman.

"Nothing new Sir, the mutants are partying or perhaps celebrating a new arrival. Maybe he is the reason why these people are getting funding from many private high profile individuals." Thanks to Conner's supernatural enhanced hearing, he overheard a strange conversation during his nature calls.

'It's intriguing….' He thought, for a second, forgot he was done with nature's call.

"What are further order Sir,"

"Just keep long eyes on this new mutant or human whatever he is, and keep us updated Agent romanoff."

"Yes, Sir." She responded and her comms were off.

"Although I have many questions, for now let's ignore her." Conner thought as he washes his hands and started to take a tour around the huge hotel which is considered as one of the most lavish and extravagant hotels in the world.

"What a great view," Conner uttered, observing the beautiful sky above with hundreds of stars blinking making the night alluring.

"Are you sure he is the target?" A blond woman with blue eyes asks with a hint of uncertainty. She was ten meters away peeking from the keyhole.

"Another agent or perhaps an assassin?" Conner assessed in his mind after hearing her whispers asking for confirmation from a little distance. "Yes, there is a one million dollar bounty on his head by the Syndicate."

"She doesn't have any energy? Maybe he has a heavenly restriction of sorts or a special weapon otherwise if she is just a normal human or mutant it, GG." Slowly constructing the most logical situation and waited for the women to enter.

'She surely does not carry any weapon? Maybe I over-sumed.' Conner assumed as he stared at the tall, blond without any malicious intent neither she uttered a word or showed her intentions.

'He is not talking? I should open up first.' She thought, because of her beauty there was not a single man who didn't ignore her or didn't desire her. With the cold silence she was receiving she felt awkward on her side.

And usual men charter and charter to get under her pants, flaunting money, reputation and connection but Conner was straight ignoring her existence.

It had happened a very few times and due to that this thought that he might be different didn't even cross her mind as she predicted/pre-decided, Conner must be like all those rich people she encountered so far showing to be elegant, classy etc, but from insider are lustful as beast.

"You are not a talker ar-" Before she could even finish her sentence to start a short conversation Conner interrupted, understanding that women want to play a game of seduction then fight when he is off guard. "Can we get over it? I don't have time for this shit." He demanded and looked at her coldly.

She was indeed very hot, an assassin trait of assassin.

"What do you mean?" She asks innocently, playing her skills profoundly and professionally. A normal person can easily fall for such a trick however, Conner has faced such attempts hundreds of times meaning he can decipher games like this.

"Tell me your name and let's fight, I have a party to attend." He faces her, loses his tie a little, taking a fighting stand for combat.

"How did you know…..nevermind. Myself Nina, prepare to die." She maintained a cold demeanor but in disbelief as her cover was blown as if an assassin was written over the forehead.

'His stance and the way he discerns my identity means he must be an experienced person.' She speculated and understood now why he held such a bounty.
