Chapter 63: Danger-Ace and The Exterminator
Chance grinned at her and shook his head, "Of course not, if you would fall for such words then I would never have been interested in you."
"You are weird" Samantha scoffed at him.
"Maybe that's what it takes to fall for you."
"Oh god, please" Samantha shouted in frustration.
Chance chuckled and decided to stop troubling her as she was clearly annoyed.
"Goodbye" He seriously bid her adieu and decided to leave 'I can't leave like this' He thought to himself and then he suddenly stopped and turned around.
Samantha looked at him in annoyance, "What? Already changed your mind?"
"No, I can't, have to head back" He replied to her while he walked towards her.
He took five long steps and they were now facing each other.
"What?" Samantha gulped in fear while questioning him.
"Samantha, I don't know when we two are going to meet each other again. So, for once let me kiss you."
"Huh" Samantha was surprised by what he said and the next moment without waiting for her reply, he held the back of her head and softly kissed her on her forehead.
He pressed a long kiss on her forehead, "Goodbye, love, I am sure we will meet soon." Muttering these words while his lips were pressed against her forehead, he left.
Chance wanted to express how much she means to him and he wished to do so by showing her how much he respects her.
Chance left her shop and walked a few steps, then he thought of something and he couldn't leave so he turned around and again headed to the florist shop.
When he went back, he saw exactly what he expected, Samantha was standing near a dustbin and she lighted the card he gave to her earlier on fire. She let the entire card burn in the bin.
Her back was facing him so she had no idea that Chance came back and saw her actions.
The doors and walls of the florist shop were made of glass, this made it easier for Chance to clearly see what she did.
He smiled seeing her burn the card as she did exactly what he expected her to do, he quickly left before she turned back and discovered him there.
Chance knew she would not contact him like he requested but he anyway had other plans of meeting her so he decided to wait for it.
He flew back to New York.
Chance first went to his office as he had some work and there he unexpectedly ran into David.
"Dude, it is Sunday today. Why are you here?" Chance questioned him.
"I can ask you the same question"
"I had a few files to look into so…"
"What files Chance?" David looked very serious.
"Umm, the files…"
"Never mind, you will anyway lie" David sarcastically taunted him.
"What happened David? If there is something you want to ask just ask, I anyway never lied or hidden anything from you"
"Where did you go yesterday?" Chance indeed never lied about anything, so David directly asked him.
"San Diego"
David expected this but yet he was still surprised that Chance went through with his plan.
"For Samantha?"
"Yeah, and also for two other things"
"May I know what they are?" David seemed angry so Chance answered him honestly without prolonging it.
"I am planning to setup a new branch of Avenue Real Estate in San Diego"
"For Samantha?"
"For me"
"Chance, you can't take a business decision without consulting me?"
"Of course, I cannot, I just went to San Diego to study the market there and to meet a few local real estate businesses to check if any of them are good enough for a collaboration"
"Oh"
"Yeah, and then I was planning to discuss with you. How can I consult you and share my plans with zero knowledge" Chance explained and then David calmed down as it made sense?
"And the other thing?"
"I went to meet Rook"
"Why?" David was surprised.
"He said he has more information on…" Chance need not complete the sentence and David understood what he meant.
"So?"
"Before we could meet, some fools attacked our location and the San Diego city mistook it as a terrorist attack"
"Oh god" David was evidently scared.
"Yeah, but don't worry, it is all fine now" Chance assured him.
"How did they know, you two were meeting there?"
"Someone from Rook's side tipped these fools I guess"
"I'll check more into it" David took out his phone when Chance stopped him.
"You left this world to live in peace, why don't you continue doing that? Don't bother yourself with these people" Chance advised.
"I left this world of assassins but you didn't and I already lost Lucas, can't afford to lose you" David looked very serious so Chance didn't pursue him against his wishes and let him be.
Lucas was their weakness, so Chance could understand where David was coming from.
"Okay, you do check whatever you want and also let me know about it"
"Of course, and how was the meeting with Samantha?"
"Better than I thought, I managed to have one dinner and one lunch with her" Chance joked.
"Wow, since when Chance Miller started getting satisfied with just having food with a woman?"
"Since, he became serious about this one" Chance answered him.
"Did she freak out to see you there suddenly?"
"Of course, she did, I even told her that I love her, so she freaked out even more"
David was shocked, "Dude, why would you do that?"
"That was why I went to San Diego. Dude, you can't expect me to just say hello after flying to Diego from New York?"
"I am feeling bad for her"
"No need, she too is no less, she made things difficult for me"
"Good, she should" David was happy that there is someone who doesn't readily spread her legs for Chance but is making him go crazy for her.
"By the way a very exciting thing happened on this trip which made my visit a total worth" Chance happily exclaimed.
"Wow what is that?"
"You won't believe who I met"
"Okay, who?" David was curious as he could see how excited Chance looked.
"The Exterminator" Chance looked at David who widened his eyes in shock.
"Are you shitting me?" David shouted after being in a shock for few seconds.
"I know, right?" Chance was jumping in joy.
"Dude, are you sure it was The Exterminator, like how did you meet him, when, where and did he recognize you, fuck, Chance tell me everything" David was blabbering whatever came to his mind in excitement.
"Okay, calm down" Chance and David then went to Chance's office and there he narrated how he met Bill.
"Woahhhh, The Exterminator addressed you as 'young man'?" David was very happy.
"Exactly, I wanted to jump around but I controlled myself"
"Fuck, but Chance you sure it was him?"
"Yes, even at this age he is so fit David. I mean, that vibe he had, oh god, I am sure it was him and that red envelope must have been about Danger-Ace's next mission."
"Samantha's next mission?"
"No, I prefer to refer to her as Danger-Ace when I am talking about her other side"
"Fine, as you wish. So, our past prediction of The Exterminator and Danger-Ace being close was indeed right?"
In the past itself, Chance deduced they are somehow related and how a connection. He shared his theory with David who too was convinced but they never got the confirmation.
"Yeah, I first thought they are mentor mentee, you remember that assassination where Danger-Ace killed twelve people using a pack of cards?" Chance questioned David.
"Of course, that is how she got this name – Danger-Ace. In a bar she came across twelve gangsters who tried to mess with her and she only had a deck of cards on her whereas these twelve people were armed. She flicked the card and it perfectly slit one of the gangster's throats and this way she killed eleven other people." David recollected this famous story, at that time Chance was in awe of Danger-Ace until she messed his mission.
"Yeah, and remember how once The Exterminator killed sixteen people using a cue?" Chance mentioned The Exterminator's one of the famous kills.
"Of course, he just went to some place to relax but a group of people were trying to mess with him and then he killed them with that cue. Man, this was like crazy shit"
"Exactly, see the similarities between them, they used normal playful things to kill people which common people use to relax. The people who tried to attack them were all armed and yet single-handedly they came out of this situation"
"Yeah, I remember. That's why you always thought The Exterminator trained Danger-Ace after receiving that one-way phone from The Exterminator"
"Exactly, also I was so jealous that Danger-Ace got this opportunity and I didn't" Chance recollected how upset he was when he thought she was trained by his idol.
