The Mysterious Land 67 Part 25: In Zevo's House

" I'm here to hire you ... zevo ! "

Zevo felt something strange about it, to hire me? ... and after staring at the parts of Koja's face for a moment ... he sighed and then approached his stone chair, which looked like the throne of kings ... then he lit the lights of the room ... and said with a calm tone:

" Did you say to hire me? for what reason? "

The house from the inside looked cla.s.sic ... zevo's room was full of thick books ... as if he is a scientist in a field from the fields...

But ... there was something that seemed even stranger than that ...

These scary wooden dolls that filled the house ... This must have been for drakulina without a doubt...

Yes ... Drakulina the one who lived in a house similar to zevo's house ... this is what made zevo decorate his house that strange way...

So that drakulina feels as if she stills living in her old house where she grew...

Zevo compensated drakulina the affection she lost and she is still a child ... even though she is from the Mafia but she is just a cute girl after all .... so zevo played the role of the parents ... the brother ... the responsible of her, He always combed her hair and drained it after she left the bathroom ... and always allowed her to sleep beside him on the rainy nights ... He certainly did not want her to feel any inadequate ! That's why Drakulina considers zevo as her only family...

With slow steps forward ... koja approached more from zevo, making those serious strict facial expressions ... answering zevo with a calm tone:

" I will attack the center of the deadly characters ... and I want to take you with me ! "

" Hmm? aren't they your mates? "

With a cold tone koja answered:

" Did you say, my mates? These sc.u.mbags threatened me by kidnapping a friend of mine ... can you even believe such a thing? "

Zevo rubbed his head ... and the effects of discomfort were visible on his face ... or maybe those were just the effects of sleep ! for this he yawned with a low voice ... start rubbing his eyes saying with a calm tone:

" A friend, kidnapping, a threat, it's not long since I woke up ... so I can't realize anything ... but things seem complicated to you, mate "

With a sly tone...

With a strict tone...

Koja expressed his anger with one phrase !

" Will you come with me? I promise you that you will have fun "

..

" WAKATA WAKATA ! but......... what about the reward? you came here to hire me, right? so what is the reward? You know very well that I no longer care so much about money ! "

" Reward? I said before that I came to hire you not to ask you for a favor so of course there is something like a reward ... and the reward is........ ########### ! I will do that whenever you want ! "

..

..!!

That smile made by zevo ... means only one thing ...

And that he did not like so much the reward proposed by koja ... but at the same time ... he found it a perfect reward for the mission...

What kind of rewards did koja promise with?

" You such an evil... although hearing that is kinda annoying ... but...... things look interesting here .... if so ... it is worth the risk for it "

With a confident smile, koja said:

" So, it's settled ... although the reward might cost me my life ... but I promise you that I am ready for it at any time "

Zevo stared at Koja for a few moments ... that was before he took a deep breath and sighed...

Then with a loud tone...

He shouted...

" Hoooy ! draku..... bring me some red apples with a gla.s.s of cow blood ! I'm so hungry here "

Drakulina heard her master's call ... so she brought him what he asked ... she even brought some of the newspapers and magazines that zevo used to read at night, It seems that the character of zevo has changed a lot ... The current zevo is an educated person ... who loves reading and learning very much, and hostile to the technology that makes the person so lazy ... So he used to order the old man who guards the island to buy him books of education and science to expand his knowledge ... especially the books of chemistry and physics... This is how the hybrid used to spend his time...

Drakulina sat above the handle of zevo's chair ... After giving her goshuujin-sama his needs...

Making that cute smile on her face ... then she started talking to koja with a cute tone:

" So koja... Do you still work for the special organization? "

" Ah drakulina..... !! U-Uh in fact... I recently joined a criminals hunters corps "

Suddenly, zevo and Drakulina made a puzzled face at the same time ... a criminals' hunters? this was on the mind of Drakulina...

" Hmm? did you say criminals' hunters? this is strange ... I am sure that the organization was rewarding you with high wages - with a smile - But I am sure you are following what your heart dictates "

Koja answered drakulina with a smile saying:

" Hai... A lot of things have happened recently ! - with a bored face - I had to do it ! what about you guys? Is it really enough for two of the most powerful Mafia members to be hiding in such an isolated island? "

Suddenly ... drakulina's face turned red before she even starts saying what she thought about before a moment...

Then she said with a very hesitant tone:

" Ah..... about that ! F-For me all that I care about is... to stay away from troubles ... and live a quiet life with zevo-sama ! I... I don't care how strong I am, But if anyone dared to approach our island ... I would not hesitate to use force ! "

" So ka ! "

Koja turned to zevo who was making that expressionless face as if he was focusing on reading the journal ... Or maybe he remembered something important so he started thinking about it !

" What about you? zevo ! "

Zevo didn't answer koja with anything ... As if his mind had been completely s.p.a.ced out !

" Hmm? are you okey? Zev..... "

Before koja finished saying that .... zevo ! made that strict face ... his looks became very cold...

Zevo became serious for a second .... and that tone he said those words with proved that...

" Koja..... There is something I want to talk to you about after we return from this ! let's make later a serious conversation "

" Ah sure ! "

****

After zevo took his breakfast ... he ordered drakulina to bring him special clothes for the mission ... where are you going, master? She seems to know nothing about it...

" By the way ... Drakulina ... you will come with us too ! We'll get out on a quick mission ... we've been hired by this monster "

As soon as zevo said that ... drakulina made that very concerned face ! As if she was not ready to hear about such a thing ... Or perhaps she was not psychologically ready for it ! a sudden mission?

" Did you say a mission? are you serious about it? zevo-sama ! as you know ... I didn't get out on a real mission for years ! "

Zevo got up from his chair ... He put his hands behind his back just as the adults do ! then with a strict tone he said:

" It's a good time to see the fruits of your efforts ... you have trained hard all those years... "

" B-But I was training just for fun ! I never thought about applying what I learned on the real ground "

After zevo made that sly smile ... His looks showed his confidence in himself and Drakulina of course ! He said those words as if...

He knows very well that he is not a normal killer...

As if everything will be okey....

" Don't worry about it ! it won't take a long time ... I know very well that you are like me you don't like showing your presence to the public ... so we'll finish that in a few minutes ! "

Drakulina did not find what to say ... so she accepted her master's request of course ... or maybe it was an order from the beginning?!
