Chapter 351 - Absurd Request
Due to the heavy traffic, the couple only arrived at the mall after almost two hours.
"This country really has very small roads with houses and buildings just one or two meters away from the main road, my god!" Amana complained after getting out of the car as she felt suffocated inside during those two hours with nothing to do.
"I probably couldāve gotten a level during those two hours," said Amanda with a frown on her face.
Michael just held her hand and quickly brought her inside the mall while saying to her, "Anyway, you still have till seven in the evening before your quest, right?"
Suddenly holding hands and walking side by side with him, Amanda couldnāt help but feel her heart flutter a little, and couldnāt help but reply with a bit of stutter.
"Y-yeah"
"Come on, letās go to the movie theater and see if thereās anything good to watch right now," Michael smiled as he quickly led Amanda towards the third floor, where the movie theater is located.
And along the way, there were a lot of eyes curiously looking over towards them, and itās not only because they are foreigners but because the two of them are very attractive people according to the beauty aesthetics of the locals in the country.
Itās like how western people think that eastern people are very beautiful, vice versa.
"Whoa, arenāt they really good-looking?" one of the young men who had spotted them from afar said with a laugh to his friends.
"Yeah, especially those huge bonkers on that woman man!" said another young man.
"Shucks, Iād love to swim in those! Uhmm!" laughed his other friend as the second young man and he gave each other a high five.
"You three are really damn perverts" the only girl among them sneered at them with disdain as she couldnāt help but feel embarrassed for her friends especially when passing people heard their conversation and looked at them weirdly.
But when the girl looked at Michael, she felt that he somehow feels familiar, "Wait, that guy looks familiar"
Her guy friends rolled their eyes at her and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you always say that whenever you see a good looking guy"
"Shut it, he really looks familiar though! Iāve seen him from somewhere before!" angrily said the girl as she flipped the magazine that sheās reading to the next page.
But what she didnāt notice was a familiar photo from the previous page, because it was a photo of Michael back when some guy approached him on the streets and asked him if he ever wanted to become a model.
"But he really looks familiar though" mumbled the girl before shrugging her shoulders and continued reading the magazine in her hands.
*****
"How about this one babe?" Michael said as he pointed at the poster that has a man with an iron suit, a guy with a round shield, followed by another guy that has a hammer along with a red cape.
Amanda rolled her eyes at him as she couldnāt believe the movie her boyfriend is suggesting for them to watch.
"What are you, a kid? Letās watch Avatar instead, the world is almost similar to Nevareth Continent" suggested Amanda after criticizing Michael for his movie choice.
"Really~? Well, suit yourself, but weāll have to wait for another hour and a half before we can watch it from the beginning" said Michael after looking at the schedule for the movie today.
"Itās fine, weāll go shopping instead while we wait! I canāt wait to look at the clothes this country can offer!" said Amanda excitedly while her feet couldnāt help but fidget at the thought of shopping for some clothes.
āShopping with their girlfriends...itās the most hated enemy of men!ā thought Michael as the edge of his lips couldnāt help but twitch just thinking of the long hours men needed to wait just so their girlfriend can be satisfied with the taste of their clothes.
Then Michael suddenly remembered something that he had almost forgotten, "Right, but before that, let me make a quick phone call, yeah?"
"Okay, make it quick" replied Amanda as she already started walking towards the nearby clothing store.
Michael walked into a corner, pulled out his phone, and called.
And a few seconds later, the call was answered and the familiar voice of someone sounded from the other side of the call.
[How may I help you?]
"Daphne, itās Shadow," said Michael in a soft voice that only he could hear while watching his surroundings just in case someone is able to hear him.
"..."
There was a few seconds of silence before the other person on the other side of the call replied.
[What do you want?]
Michael chuckled when he heard her tone full of bitterness with a tinge of anger.
"How much for hiring two eight-wheeler cargo trucks?" Michael quickly got to the point as he didnāt want to waste any more time.
[Did you kill so many that you needed two cargo trucks to dump them?] replied Daphne with a sarcastic tone.
Michael snorted, and said, "Get to the point woman, how much for those two trucks?"
[Tsk, youāre no one fun, and right, youāre such a troublemaker. Killing five in the span of one night, just what you would expect from a fellow Two Blades] Daphne said with a chuckle as she also wasnāt expecting for Michael to make his move that very night, and killed five of his targets and caused an uproar in the country.
Soon after saying that, Daphne quickly got to the point and said, [Ten gold coins for the two trucks, and theyāll go to any destination you want them to go]
"Right, I also have another request, can you prepare a lot of cargo boxes for storing things like clothes and toys. Maybe around fifty or so boxes" Michael quickly added.
[...]
[Do you think weāre like those courier services?] said Daphne with annoyance after a bit of silence on her end.
"Uhhh...yeah," said Michael like it was a matter of fact.
[My god, I thought you were planning to smuggle weapons or something through us, thatās why you were asking for cargo trucks] Daphne felt frustrated as this is the first time sheās dealing with someone like Michael who doesnāt act like heās an assassin at all!
"Are you done?" Michael said after listening to her complaints.
[Fine, weāll get the boxes for you and send them anywhere in the world for free, but this is the first and last time weāre doing this for you!]
Toot! Toot! Toot!
After saying her piece, Daphne hung up the call in anger.
But not even a second later, Michaelās phone started ringing, so he picked it up and heard Daphneās voice.
[So, where am I sending them?]
Michae laughed at her blunder and replied, "Star Mall"
[Alright]
Toot! Toot! Toot!
Michael brought his phone away from his ear and looked at it while laughing.
"Michael, are you done?"
Amanda leaned half of her body out from the entrance of the clothing store as she called out to Michael.
Michael quickly walked towards her and said, "Yeah, I just asked a friend to send a couple of cargo trucks here"
"Cargo trucks? What do you need it for?" Amanda asked while examining the clothes in her hand while the store clerks kept a watch over them.
"Iāll buy some clothes, childrenās clothes, some toys and maybe food too," said Michael after thinking about it.
