Fantasy Assassin in a modern world-Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Fan Site

Loki was surprised to see that Michael did not hesitate to agree to his conditions, despite Loki saying that he had placed a spell that could kill Michael if he betrayed him. It was a fake spell Loki thought of to intimidate Michael since Loki did not want to teach. Yet Michael did something Loki never expected as he actually accepted.

Loki had planned to keep on rejecting him but seeing the determination in Michael’s eyes made it very clear that he would never give up, not to mention that look of determination always reminded him of her. Loki knew he was going to regret doing this, but.

“Fine, as long as you hold on to your end of the deal, I will fulfill mine.”

When Michael heard Loki’s answer he looked pleasantly surprised. Michael quickly did a martial artist gesture of recognizing a master, but before he could say the words Loki stopped him.

“There’s no need for that kind of thing. I’m just here to teach you a few things as a senior of the path, not as your master. I don’t need to be your master to teach so don’t do that.”

After that Loki explained the basics of meditation to increase one’s mana. Once he was done explaining the basics Michael thanked Loki and couldn’t wait to start.

...

.....

It took Loki a few hours before Michael was done with his initial meditation. It was now five in the afternoon when he left the school. Loki took out his phone and saw that he received numerous messages. He had turned his phone silent when he was lecturing Michael so he wasn’t aware of the messages.

Loki checked to see that his sister and Matsuri had texted him a few times. The other messages were from the random girls that he met in recent days, most of which had tricked him into giving his number. After he was done looking at the messages he saw that Harold had called him. Knowing that Harold was one of the two only people who knew he was Fade, Loki immediately contacted him.

...

“Harold, why did you call, is there a problem?”

“Oh no, no, no problem, I just got some news. Have you seen what’s happening on the internet?”

“I don’t know, so what’s happening?”

“Search for Fade on the net and you’ll see what I’m talking about.”

Loki typed Fade on his search engine and many articles came out but the ones trending now were about numerous fan sites. On these fan sites, there was every bit of news regarding Fade, and any video sighting of him or what looks to be him. There were stories of people’s encounters with him. Depending on what fan site you look at you can find different things, but there is one thing that all the fan sites had in common and that was an entire section dedicated to killing requests.

In those people would anonymously post a request for an assassination. They would not name the person they wish to assassinate instead they simply told their stories as to why they wanted Fade to assassinate these people. Most of which seem to be politicians or some rich second generation a*shole.

Of course, many of these were just jokes to relieve their stress as they fantasized about killing these people, no one truly believed that Fade would read their post and respond.

“So did you see it?”

“Are you talking about the fan sites?”

“Yeah that’s it, those are the ones. Loki this is our chance. Now that many people have created these sites and the so called request board, we can use this to pick your next clients. Since their posting the reason they want someone dead you can just read those posts and you decide which one you want to take. Of course, I’ll verify their identities to see if they’re legit. So what do you think?”

‘Hmm, this is basically no different from the way I did things back in my old world, in fact, this might be even more efficient. Also with Harold’s help, he could figure out which ones were fake.’

“Alright, let’s do it your way.”

...

While Loki and Harold were discussing how to use the fan sites to their advantage, in the police station Matsuri was also looking at those fan sites but her reaction was different.

“What the f*ck is wrong with these people?! Why can’t we just catch them all!” Matsuri screamed in the middle of the station.

“Calm down detective Watanabe.” Matsuri’s new partner Detective Janice passed her a bottle of water. After Matsuri drank the entire bottle she looked at Janice.

“How can I calm down, these people are f*cking idiots! How can they do this sh*t, requesting someone to take another person’s life? Even if they think it’s nothing more than a joke, this just isn’t right.”

“Welcome to the twenty-first century. It’s not like this is the first time the netizens treated something serious as a joke.”

“Are you sure we can’t just arrest these people?”

“No, we can’t.”

“This is so f*cking frustrating. It’s been months now since Fade first appeared, and not only are we not getting close to capturing him, many people actually made him into some kind of hero.”

Janice noticed that Matsuri was about to flare up again, so she started to change the subject.

“Let’s just stop talking about that. The case I’m really interested in is what’s happening to your relationship with that hot guy I saw you eating with the other day.”

“H-huh, who are you talking about?” Matsuri diverted her gaze as her ears were burning red. Seeing such a cute reaction coming from someone like Matsuri made Janice smile.

“You know who I’m talking about. I still can’t believe the hard-a*s Detective Watanabe Matsuri was on a date.”

Matsuri became flustered upon mentioning the date and made a gesture for Janice to keep quiet.

“I told you to forget about that!”

“How can I forget about it? The Justice Freak went on an actual date with a hottie. I and everyone in the precinct thought you were married to your job and romance was the last thing on your agenda. Who knew that you were interested in the intellectual type. So are you two going out or what?”

“Can we please stop talking about this?”

“I won’t stop talking if you don’t start answering. In fact, if I don’t get an answer soon, I might want to speak a little louder regarding Detective MATSURI’S LOVE-” Matsuri stood up and quickly blocked Janice’s mouth.

“Fine, I’ll tell you all about it but not here.”

Janice nodded her head as Matsuri removed her hands.

“Fine let’s have a nice long girls talk after work.” Janice smiled mischievously.
