The Mission

Yoh tapped his foot to the floor as he wait for Liam while listening to his favorite Bob songs, he had finished playing five minutes earlier and decided to just wait for Liam at the entrance of Tokyo Mall.

Even with his ears covered by his earphone, he noticed someone approaching him from behind by the reflection of his smartphone. Yoh stopped his MP3 player and removed his earphone and put them in his waist bag before turned around to see a tall man with green hair and green eyes, he smiled because the man was really similar looking with his friend, Lyserg, only older with his eyes narrower than Lyserg and had a confident aura around him.

"Liam Diethel-san?" Yoh asked calmly still with a smile on his face.

The man nodded, "Yes, I am." He looked at Yoh with a curious expression, "Can I know your name?" he asked.

Yoh grinned, "Sorry, but I don't want to, I don't want my personal life disturbed." He answered calmly, "The same reason why I wear a sunglasses".

Liam merely nodded, "Let's find a place for us to talk in private." He suggested with a smile.

Yoh nodded, "There's a meeting place that I booked earlier, we will talk there." He answered before leading Liam to the place, the reason why he even can book the meeting room was because he asked one of his friends to let him use the room for a short time. Oyamada Manta, his best friend, agreed to let Yoh use the room with a cheap rent cost, since the mall was his family's.

"So, what is it?" Yoh asked as he gestured for Liam to take a seat before sitting himself, "Who is it that you want me to catch this time?".

Liam's face turned serious, "I'm sure you know this person." He said as he pulled out a photo from his briefcase and placed it at the table in front of Yoh, "The target is him".

Yoh stared at the photo with open mouth, "Him? Marco Angelus? He is the Mayor of Maine, right?" he asked in shock and confusion at his friend's Father, "Why?".

Liam pulled a file from the briefcase and looked at it, "Not many knows, but I get information that he's not only a corrupter, but also doing an experiment that had killed many in the process." He explained as he read through the information that he had.

"An experiment?" Yoh asked with a narrowed eyes, "What kind of experiment?".

Liam sighed as he rubbed his temple, "I still haven't find out about it yet." He said in shame, "His security is so tight that I couldn't get more information than this, even my fellow Detectives also couldn't more information".

Yoh crossed his arms as he leaned on his seat, "So, not only that I need to arrest him, but also get the information myself." He mumbled in thought before looking at Liam, "I don't mind the job, but are you sure that he had killed many people?".

Liam nodded seriously, "Yes, I'm sure of it." He said as he slid the file to Yoh, "These are the information about the victims." He explained, "They were missing at different times, and when they were found, they were all dead. The polices said that they couldn't find the cause of their deaths, but my friend in the FBI said that he found something suspicious in their body that are the same for each case." He looked straight at Yoh's eyes.

"And that is?" Yoh asked calmly.

"They all had consumed a strange liquid, what the liquid is still unknown, but we agreed that the liquid has a relation with the experiment Marco has been doing secretly, for 20 years now." Liam answered with a grave tone, "I'm afraid that he planned to make a bio weapon that can kill human instantly, I can't allow that to happen, so I and my friend, Silva, had decided to ask you to help us out".

"Silva Asakura?" Yoh asked in shock, My Uncle . . . "He is also in this? I thought he had retired from FBI".

Liam shook his head, "It's appeared to be that way, but he is actually in a secret mission to infiltrate Marco's mansion, so he will help you if you decide to attack." He explained with a smile, "This is an extremely difficult and dangerous job, are you really sure to accept it?".

No wonder Silva didn't contact me for years, Yoh smirked at Liam, "You don't know me." He said with a confident look on his face before standing up, "I wouldn't back down from a job like this, I won't let him do as his please. I accept the job, I will definitely arrest him and expose his dirty experiment to the whole world." To say that Yoh was angry is an understatement, he was mad by what he had heard about Marco and vowed to himself that he would arrest Marco no matter what.

Liam stood up after he put the file and photo in his case again, he held out a hand for Yoh to shake with a smile, "I'm glad to hear that." He said honestly, "But I need to warn you to be extra careful with him, and you can do your job for as long as you need, so don't rush thing".

"I won't." Yoh promised as he shook his hand with Liam's, "I have my way, don't worry".

"Then, I will take my leave, I have another case to be taken care of." Liam said before he leave.

Yoh sighed as he saw Liam left, "I guess, I need to go hunting again." He said to himself with a smile before leaving the meeting room, he pulled out his phone and called Manta.

"Hello?" His friend answered the call.

"Hey, Manta." Yoh smiled even though his friend couldn't see it, "Thanks for the room".

"Ah, Yoh-kun, don't worry about it." Manta answered, Yoh could even heard the smile in his voice, "By the way, what is the meeting about? You only use the room to meet with a client that ask your help with something, a rabid animal or criminal, so which one?".

Yoh laughed softly, "It's the latter, Manta." He answered cheerfully, "I will tell you more later, I need to hunt for information now. Good Day, Manta".

"Good Day, Yoh-kun." Manta answered before Yoh ended the call.

Yoh sighed as he was out from the mall, I wonder what Hao is doing right now? He thought as he looked at the sky, the boy had certainly caught his interest, he wondered why their faces are really similar to each other?

Meanwhile, in a hotel far from Tokyo Mall, a man dropped dead to the floor with a muffled scream with a dagger stabbed through his heart, the dagger was thrown at him with a fast speed that was impossible to be caught.

Standing in front of the dead man was a small figure wearing a black cloak that hide his face and body, he turned around when he heard a clapping. "Good job." A man with blond hair and blue eyes wearing a glasses said with an evil smirk, "Now, finished it without leaving a trace".

The cloaked figure nodded, "Understood, Master." He answered tonelessly. He turned to the man and with his gloved hands, he make the man grabbed the dagger so it would appear like the man killed himself. there's no hidden camera in the room, so no one will know that the man was killed and not committed suicide.

With that finished, he turned around and walked to the man, he removed his cloak to reveal a boy with long hair and expressionless face of non other than Hao. He draped the cloak on his left arm so people wouldn't get suspicious of them, they then walked out of the room and left the hotel silently without a single person watching them.

They come and leave without anyone witnessing, no one will know that they ever come to the building at all.

To be continued . . .

Hao : Even in this story, with me being 13, I killed someone?

Froim : (Nodded) Yup, this is the reason why I make you to be the younger, it would certainly look scary if Yoh killed someone, right?

Yoh : Surely, and it would be strange if Hao become The Silent Hunter.

Hao : Well, I like to kill, so what? I didn't get to kill many in your other stories.

Froim : Just shut up already.

Yoh : Please review (Showing his trademark grin)
