First time

*Mc pov*

I looked up all the data available about the wines that we are selling. The most important is cost of production and selling ratio. So, I can't make up crazy changes to the drinks. It must be changes according to the price level and the ingredients used.

I can't use some of the rare fruits and ingredients used to make "tipsy" to make "caster" or even "cyclone". So ingredients appropriation is necessary. I should make changes considering every single detail possible. Normally, changes made to a recipe should take a lot of time.

Like really lot bit the perks kinda helped me with Is situation. It's like a stimulation in my mind, as I tried to make changes I could imagine what kind of end product I would gain. So it made it easier for me to make these changes at every step possible to make the product better.

I was absorbed in this process and didn't notice it's been 3 hours since I started it. I looked at my comms and stored every single notes I made and went for the lunch. After lunch I went to the inventory and checked whether every ingredient necessary for tomorrows brewing.

After confirming every thing necessary is available, I informed Franco that I'll be out for a while and set out. First things first, I went to my apartment and took the extension pouch and secured it in my inner pocket. I didn't take it with me because I didn't know the situation about the bar and the clan.

Then I looked at myself and decided to buy clothes so that I don't wear the same thing every single day. I searched online and found some shops nearby and I went to take a look. The shop were kinda like a whole sale stores, they prioritise armours more than clothes.

I bought ten shorts to sleep in and workout, briefs, 3 leather jackets that fit me and ten sets of clothes. I'm not big on selecting my dress, just bought the simple ones. I also bought a simple armour that cost me a lot. It's made of some large animal beast that gives you minimum protection against heat weapons.

I brought it all back to the apartment and packed it into the extension pouch and left the room. As I was about to leave the room, I heard the sounds of hushing voices just outside my room. I stopped myself from voicing out any questions and started thinking what to do.

'I think this apartment is cursed, damnit, just came here to pack up and leave and got a problem in my hand'.

'I heard whispers of more than one person. So there might be two or more people. They might even ambush me as soon as I open the door'

'How did they know I was going to go out now? Is this planned or it's a spontaneous ambush. I literally have no beef with anyone except for the green goblin I met on my first day.'

"Did he notice me coming to my room and decided to attack?"

God , I should stop my monologue and prepare for the attack plan.

*3rd pov*

In a certain apartment building in Sakaar. Two men who were wearing cloak stood outside of the room with guns in hand.

"Dork, why are we waiting in front of his door? We can wait until gets it and kill him in a alley"

To that dork replied,

"No, that wouldn't work. He works for Mordo's. If we miss this chance, I can't do anything to him later. You wouldn't know how infuriating this brat is. I have to kill him now."

"So, how are we going to do it? We can't wait here for all day you know."

"I know, that's why bought a door hacker system from my friend. It just reached me today and what a coincidence this bug came here at the same time. I'm going to do it with or without you."

"I'll help, don't worry, I looked out there is no backup for him anywhere."

"Hmm, I'll start with hacking the door, be ready, when I give the signal storm in give him no time and shoot him make a sieve out of him and leave. Got it?"

"Don't you want to torture him?"

"No, I don't care about that I just want him dead. I want to make it look like a robbery. I don't want to leave any traces here. What if he told me about to his colleagues. I don't want to risk it. Do the deed and run. That's it."

"Right. Got it."

Then one of the man started fiddling with the door key accessor and the other waited for signal and aimed the gun straight at the door.

Suddenly the door whizzes open and both panicked and both took their guns straight at the door to their eye sight level. What they didn't notice however a figure crouching at the door's end.

Soon the figure who seemed ready fired the two guns in his hands aiming at the two clocked figures. They both looked in shock before they loose the lustre in their eyes.

*MC Pov*

As soon as the door opened I saw two figures standing in front of the door. I didn't think about anything and shot with both the blasters at the same time. Then once more to ensure kill. Then as their body as cover I search for their back up. 'It seems that these were the only guys that planned to kill me.

I then soon dragged them inside. I then took a new cloth that I bought today and cleaned the blood that had dropped in front of my door. Then I closed the door shut. Slowly my heartbeat started to go down and then reality hit me. I felt complicated. I felt bad because I was raised and taught that killing a life is morally wrong and at the same time I felt they deserved it because they probably planned on killing me.

I then saw the two corpses that laid before me. 'I have no time worrying about moral issues. If Franco heard me talking about morals after killing these people, he would call me retard.'

"What should I do with these bodies?"

The first idea I could come up with was stuffing them inside the extension pouch and carry them away and dispose of them. But soon I encountered a dilemma. My storage pouch is just an extension pouch not a spacial ring or separate dimension. It was not compartmentalised. I don't want it to get dirty or smell but this was an emergency.

But suddenly I stopped. I remembered about Komiko and Arora. I knew they could help. I'm sure they have encountered similar situation and should have dealt with it. I don't want to do something stupid and get caught and sold as a slave.

I steel my will and open my comms and contact Komiko. Soon she answered the call.

"What is it Justin? Did you call me after knowing that I'm done with my shift? Are you asking for a date?"

"No komiko, it's not time for that. I need your help."

Seeing me being serious she responded in kind,

"What is it Justin, is there a problem?"

"There was a problem I took care of it but I don't know how to proceed with it."

"What kind of answer is that? If you took care of the problem why do you need my help?"

"I can't explain properly, could you please come to my house please."

"Sure, send me your address. I'll be there."

Then I send my address to her. I didn't know what to do in the mean time and took a shower in the small bathroom. Then I got into a new dress and hid my extension pouch inside it.

Half an hour after the call, I heard a knock on mu door. I took the comms and sent a message.

"Komiko, is that you on the door?"

She just answered yes. Then I went and opened the door, suddenly I saw two figures rush towards me. 'Are they going to give me a hug?'

I couldn't even finish my thought process I suddenly got tackled down. I looked up and saw Arora who was wearing a full combat suit made of leather armour and holding a sword. Then komiko was wearing the same kind of armour and was holding a large energy blaster in her hands.

I was confused by what's happening and looked at them analysing everything with their eyes. 'Oh, did they thought I was luring them to a trap? If they did why would they come here then?'

"Hey guys, if you are done analysing could you please release me? I just took a bath and I don't want to get dirty that soon."

As soon as I said that Arora released me. Komiko just looked at me asked,

"So Justin can you explain what happened here?"

I nodded and explained what happened regarding the crime scene and the history with the green goblin. Komiko then went to the door and brought a machine that was attached to the key accessor.

"It's a door hacker. It seems you ambushed them while they were hacking your door. Good job."

"Hiss"

I just sucked in my breath and thought about what happened. If I took long enough for preparation or took time to wear my armour, I would have been dead by now.

Then komiko looked at me and asked me,

"Then everything is solved what's the emergency you were talking about?"

I then pointed at the bodies and looked at them,

"That is the problem. I don't know how to get rid of them."

Then they suddenly laughed looking at me. Did I just call them to my home to be made fun of? Goddamnit.

"It's not funny ok? I just killed them and want to destroy the evidence as fast as possible."

Then komiko realised I was pissed and apologised,

"Sorry sorry, it's just that..pfft, I just thought you were in a serious problem. And when I saw some blood stains on the floor I thought something happened to you. If it's just about these bodies, it's simple tie them up in a bag or something and throw them near a incenarator. That'll do.

And nobody here cares if you kill someone. It's in the inner city we should be careful. The area near the colosseum is very highly guarded other than that they don't care."

That's it? There are atleast one incinerators for every three blocks. These are for waste disposal. 'So they dispose of bodies that easily, huh?'

"Thank you guys. I just didn't want to get arrested for killing them and I just panicked. Anyway thanks for coming here on short notice. I didn't know who to ask."

"Its fine. But is this your first kill?" Asked Arora somewhat excited?

"Yes, it is."

Arora then patted on my shoulder and said ,

"Let's go"

I was confused and asked her,

"Where and why"

"It's your first kill, we have to celebrate. You have finally become an adult. Let's go drink tonight this is on you."

Is she serious? But looking at komiko who was nodding at Arora's statement is enough for me to understand that this was not a joke. I seriously worry for my mental health, if I keep on living in this planet. If at some point, I get used to living here like everything is normal, I would be a totally different person. But who cares it will also be a part of my growth. But then I asked,

"What about the bodies?"

Arora then took two bags and from her backpack and showed it to me.

"Let's just get rid of this on the way and let's get this party started."

I just nodded mechanically. I didn't know that Arora was a party girl. I feel very sad for my bank account. I hope they don't do too much damage.
