Job.

Cling

The sound of metal could be heard colliding with the hard floor as I watched my grandpa stone things around, angrily.

"Why are you so adamant…?! You can't do anything! Just accept the fact!" He yelled, his eyes bloodshot.

"I'm not a child! I can make decisions!" I snapped back, not wanting to lose in the battle of words.

"Ohh! Now you know way better than me?" He said, squinting his eyes.

"I…"

Cutting me off was his cold and distant voice, a side that he manifested after that horrible incident. "You're not going anywhere… and that's final!" 

I'm nothing but a weak little girl, who could do nothing but obey orders. It is a very annoying experience, being asked to follow instructions that go against your principles.

I felt like crying, but remembering the promise I made to myself gave me the zeal to push further.

Storming out of the building, I walked by myself, surveying the surroundings.

A lot of individuals, dressed corporately could be seen, training as if it were the only thing they lived for.

Though won't blame them, since this is what made them stand out and live independently of any major nation; creating a small union with nations of similar size and perspective as theirs. Even the Xadia empire and Heaven Pavilion Sect which they stood in between didn't dare provoke them openly.

"Avani!" A voice came from behind, It sounded familiar.  

Turning back, I met the gaze of a handsome guy… though, mediocre for me.

"Where are you heading?" He said with a brilliant smile.

I hate guys like him, always trying to show off. "Personal."

Grandpa always emphasized the point of being polite to avoid getting boycotted by their society. We use similar cultivation methods as theirs, nevertheless, he never forgets to remind me of the fact that they are humans, while I am a descendant of a God race… though he doesn't use those descendants any more. He now directly describes us as a God race.

"Ohhh!" He said, nodding his head. "I can help you out, though."

"I really appreciate it," touching his hands. "But it's confidential, otherwise I would have invited you."

I've learned through experience, the best way to get these horny bastards off your shoulder… is through a little touch… and accomplished.

"Okay! Sorry for the disturbance!" He said, walking away.

Waving a little, I hurried toward my intended destination to find something which might change my life for the better.

__________

Arriving at an abandoned inn… or so I thought.

Opening the door, I was met with the smell of drinks, the most dominant being alcohol. It stinks all over the small inn, almost making me throw up out of disgust…. 

"Ohhh! Seems an antelope entered a lion's den!" A male hysterically laughed as he gulped down a large quantity of booze. I do believe sheep and wolves would fit in better… not like it matters.

Rising from his seated position, he walked toward me, almost falling numerous times, successfully keeping his balance at the last second.

"Hmm? You're a pretty damsel," a leer expression formed on his rough face as he scrutinized my body.

He had a beard like most drunkards I find in this kingdom and a lot of potholes on his face.

"Hey pretty lady, didn't your mom teach you manners!" He said, infuriated by my reaction to his presence.

Such men are annoying, what better way to deal with them, than break the balls they so cherish? Raising my legs, I aimed for his crotch, causing him to wail in pain.

"Ahhh!!! Bitch!!!" He yelled out, falling to the ground.

The other barbarians who watched the former scene smiling, all had an ashen expression. Looking at me like a demoness.

Not as it matters to me, all I came was for the job… nothing else…

"Hahahahaha!" A loud voice came from the room deemed to be the waiter's room. It sounded rather strange.

Now I understand… Coming from the waiter's room was a fat female, not sure I'll say fat, due to the fact of her height… giant would do, to not appear disrespectful.

"Let me guess… you're Avani?" Said the giant, thoughtfully.

Nodding my head, I scrutinized her. "Let me also guess… you're my employer?" I asked in exasperation.

"Gutsy… truly gutsy," she said, the weird smile not leaving her face.

"You know her?" Asked the fallen male, his expression aghast.

She nodded. Clapping. "I'm closing for the day, boys. For the inconvenience, I'll offer one free mug per person tomorrow!" She said cheerfully, causing them to blush violently.

Twitch

Are these guys okay?! Blushing for no apparent reason… though, booze is their life, anyway.

"Stop overthinking and climb up," she said, moving up the stairs. 

What the hell?! I was expecting the staircase to crash.

"Weird… I know. Though it still hurts when you make it so obvious," she said in a dejected tone.

"Ohh! I'm sorry…!"

"Don't bother."

Following closely behind, I made sure to avoid placing too much weight on the staircase, scared of the consequences if it collapses.

"I won't want to take your impoliteness seriously."

"Ahh! Sorry…!"

Twitch

"Sorry for yourself!!!"

_______

It was a tedious climb, but still made it up the staircase…

I am currently sitting opposite the giant female, who had a pissed expression.

"Mmmh, the job?" I asked, breaking the eerie silence.

"Kill him!" She said, pushing a photo to me.

It was of very high quality, something only high-ranking individuals can own.

"This…?!"

"Don't ask questions that don't concern you," she said, catching me off guard. "Can you do the job?"

Hearing her words, I took a few seconds to contemplate.

"His details?" I requested.

"Now we are talking," she said as a demonic smile formed on her face. It was spooky.

"This…?"

"Yup…! This!" She said, not letting me round up my sentence.

"How does this benefit you?" I inquired, curiously. It was a strange motive, to be honest.

"Because I'll gain something from it… and you'll also gain something from it," said the giant, nodding her head.

"The money?" I asked, unsure of her "gain" definition.

"Naturally… but who knows, you might receive something else," she said, sounding mysterious.

Rejecting is not an option for me. If the task was difficult to accomplish, then I would have walked out. But it's simple, I just need to do a little work.

"Okay! I accept… installment," I said, gesturing that she give me something.

"Truly gutsy," aiming a ring at me, she shooed me.

"This…?!"

"Sorry, my dear. Forgot space rings are rare," she said, tiredly. "You can keep it… and based on your performance…"

Ending with a wink, she pushed me out, bounding the door in my face.

I'll have to perform well, getting a wealthy benefactor would be essential for my plans.

After going through everything for a while, I stepped out, heading to complete my assignment.
