The Black Tiger Chapter 17

-I was right . They don't like me . . . -

Gabriel stood beside a lady named Sonja . She had short black hair which only reached to her lower jawline and wore a short white dress cowered in pearls . He felt the other bounty hunters stare at him strictly while the room was silent .

"As you may know we have recruited a new member . Welcome Ocean, he is categorized as a shapeshifter and will be working with you from today on . I need to go to a board meeting right now so greet Ocean and show him around this facility . " Sonja presented before she went to a meeting .

Gabriel stood there looking around the room while he could hear the bounty hunters mutter:

Advertisement"I actually thought we was going to get a person suited for this kinda job, but instead we got a pretty boy"

"His cute, but he's most likely a pain in the ass"

"Ocean, lol . He must be a fish or something"

"I don't like him, but I need to make money . I'm going to approach him and just be done with it"

A man in grey jeans and a skin west walked towards Gabriel while emitting a friendly smile .

"Hi, my name is Freddy . I'm an assassin class beast specialized in close combat . . . "

Before Freddy finished speaking he sliced a small pocket knife near Gabriel's neck . Gabriel grabbed Freddy's hand before he managed to stab him . All the hunters looked confused while Gabriel's eyes emitted rage . He had managed to point the small knife towards Freddy just millimeters from puncturing his skin .

-well, if their going to "welcome me this nicely" then maybe I should do the same-

The room were filled with an heavy aura which made the golden walls seem grey and the warm doors made out of wood felt like steel bars .

"Well, it seems like someone doesn't like me . " Gabriel said in amusement while the others stood still .

"Fredrick Stone . . . Did you know that this man killed innocent children while he tried to rob their teacher and that he secretly stole money from this association . He is wanted for slaughter which makes it legal for me to kill him . " Gabriel smiled .

A cold sweat ran down Freddy's forehead while the room kept silent .

Gabriel took the knife and threw it into a nearby trash can . His steps moved out the door where he suddenly paused saying:

"If you want to fight you are allowed to ask me anytime . "

The sun started to rise, it had been a long day and Gabriel felt like sleeping . He had slept through the night peacefully, but he wasn't a morning person .

"It's irritating how those bounty hunters treated us, especially since they are rank D hunters at most . " Tigris hissed .

"Be quiet, I don't feel like talking to you right now" Gabriel said coldly while staring onto the silver green ceiling .

Two hours passed before he stumbled out from the plain bed located in front of a small window covered with steel bars . His body felt heavy and he already knew it would become a hard day, and that was because he was going for his first hunt .
