Kyon arrived punctually at the steps leading to the central library . There was a busy street nearby with huge crowds of people, tents, lights, screams and lots of fun . There must be a street fair . Sponsored Content

Suddenly, he had a slight tingling pain in his chest . . . Kyon guy frowned and prepared to take out his gun . He saw via his birds a throwing needle materialize out of nowhere . It was whoos.h.i.+ng at an incredible speed somewhere from the roof . The energy inside it was phenomenal . The needle was aimed straight to his heart .
~bam~
The tight carbon skin didn"t let the needle penetrate his . It worked like a usual blow and sent him a couple of meters flying . The impact injured the shoulder joint and cracked a bone .
The girl deftly grabbed the bullet with two fingers . The fast arrow impressed her! It posed no threat as such, but with the help of energy, it could turn into a formidable weapon! The boy was extraordinary, indeed . He knew how to impress her .
Kyon gritted his teeth in pain when he flew into the crowd where he tried to get lost . He had instantly changed his clothes, lowered the rhythm of his heartbeat and put on a mask, turning into an ordinary resident who was having a good time at the fair .
When he met her in the library, Kyon didn"t discern the girl"s killer skills, but now he suspected that she was the Black Queen! d.a.m.ned Bai dipped into his pocket and hired the best a.s.sa.s.sin in the kingdom to get his grandson"s head! And what does it make him? A f.u.c.king a.s.shole, not a grandfather .
In fact, Bai had pa.s.sed the task on the elder to connect with influential people and order the best a.s.sa.s.sin in the kingdom . Bai hated the Black Queen with all his heart because she had killed his best friend . . .
Kyon did not expect that Bai would order his murder a day after Dinah"s "death," bypa.s.sing the wiretap! It was quite unexpected that his killer had happened to know his frequency . Kyon did not expect that the girl would play hard to get, pretending that she wasn"t that much interested in seeing him . Too many unlucky coincidences made up a terrible picture, which he couldn"t have predicted .
A minute later, Kyon calmed down . It was a close call! Too dangerous . . . Suddenly, he felt a dagger blade near his neck and heard an icy cold voice .
«You never cease to amaze me, boy . How did you survive the throwing needle attack? And your weapon . . . Where did you get it»
Kyon swallowed hard . – «You"re a thief! I… I will answer all your questions and even show you a better weapon! But let"s talk somewhere else!»
«I am not interested . » – She said with icy disdain .
Kyon was desperate . – «Wait! I will give you more than Bai! He is your customer, isn"t he? Money is not the issue, you know!»
«Prove that you have it . »
Kyon stiffened . He did not take any money with him, because he was afraid she might rob him again . – «I don"t have it on me! But I have enough! There were almost two million spheres in the ring . I can get much more! Please, believe me…»
«I should not have talked with my target . . . It"s the second time I"ve made an exception for you . And now . . . I"m sorry . . . Goodbye . » – She said coldly and moved her hand .
Kyon could feel her intention to cut his life short . The core in the soul reacted and released a liquid white light (the shadow of the bright feelings it had acc.u.mulated) . The light rushed to the keys, came out of his body with a bright flash that exceeded the suns.h.i.+ne, and lit up the whole busy street .

Thousands of people experienced extreme physical discomfort: they heard a terrible ringing in their ears, a nasty itchy feeling in their noses, their bodies went numb, and something caught in their throats . Shocked, they fell to their knees, closed their eyes and covered their ears . Everyone couldn"t help screaming . The scene was terrible and very frightening .
Meanwhile, the blade slid across Kyon"s throat and left a shallow cut . The throw of the needle had been rather weak . The killer had to take into account the strength of the target"s body . This time she applied a third of her power to cut him down for sure . However, she couldn"t leave but a little b.l.o.o.d.y trace!
Before Kyon knew it, he broke out of deadly claws amidst the general dismay and rushed into a deserted lane . The scream of the crowd was ringing in his ears . His heart drummed frantically in his chest .
«You are full of surprises, boy . » - He heard the spine chilling voice . The girl had appeared at the beginning of the lane . She was still rubbing her eyes, but the bright flash had almost no effect on her . But it did surprise her . The strength of Kyon"s neck was even more stunning .
«Please…» – Kyon reached for the ring to take out the gun, but knew it wouldn"t help him . An attempt to run away would result in a stupid death . He did not want to die at the hands of the hired killer! He had to convince the girl not to kill him .
Kyon took a deep breath . He had nothing to offer her right now . He had no money on him, and she was not interested in his weapon . He was empty-handed . Except maybe…
«You know, I can clean the keys…» – Kyon said .
«Your desire to survive is amazing . It"s a bit strange for a maniac who kills people . . . But don"t worry, I will try and do everything quickly and painlessly . Close your eyes and relax . » – She slowly approached him, beautiful like a G.o.ddess of night and dangerous like a messenger of death . The girl in black shot him a penetrating look, ready to rush forward and complete what she had started when she suddenly heard:
«Wait . » – asked Kyon . He was forced to use another leverage . He held out his hand . One by one petals of flame, cold, water, earth, wind, and electricity appeared on his open palm . . . They made up a beautiful flower .
With each next element, the girl was getting more and more amazed . She could feel the vibrations of nine elements emanating from his hand! Was he a heavenly genius? She could bend only four elements, but he had mastered all the nine of them! The appearance of the blue middle left her completely baffled . The girl couldn"t feel any vibrations from the 10th element . She couldn"t even imagine its nature .
Kyon closed his hand . – «I am a rejected son of a G.o.ddess and a man . I have a lot of unique skills, including the talent to clean the keys . »
The shocked girl pinned Kyon with a long silent scrutiny . She recalled his monstrous processing of the information, his body strength, the recent flash, bending nine or ten elements, and his weirdness in general . He must be telling the truth! However, his soul development and her common sense declared him insane . She refused to believe in his kins.h.i.+p with a G.o.ddess!
«It must have been some visual trick . Are you messing with me?!» – The girl asked coldly . She hated lies, and she was clearly being duped!
Kyon sighed when he saw the look of utter incredulity on her face . – «Tell me… Do you have a key purity checker?»
Her thin brows arched into a frown . – «What if I do?» – Her whole life was in the ring . There was everything that might come in handy at least once . Even if she had to leave the kingdom, she would be alright .
Kyon smiled vaguely . – «Hail to gherkins! Now tell me honestly . . . If the chance that I can clean the keys is one in a million, would you spend ten seconds to check if I tell the truth?»
«Do you want me to check the purity of your keys?»
«Yes, then my words will make sense, right? Then you will see the result . . . »

The girl kept silent .
«To be more it more interesting, how about this? If you find nothing unusual, you can kill me in the most cruel way . »
The girl didn"t like where it was going . That"s where the conversation with the target got her . Her uncle always told her never to negotiate, or she would be caught! But she couldn"t help it . . . She kept giving in to this strange boy .
Kyon began to worry when he saw her hesitation . – «As far as I remember, you have ardently desire to get stronger . So, you"ll get ten times closer to your goal when you"re the master of all the elements! Please, listen to the voice of reason . Just check me out! A few seconds of your precious time is worth taking a chance that happens once in a lifetime!»
The girl hesitated a little and took the device out of her ring .
Kyon happily took off his s.h.i.+rt, his chest puffed out with pride, his eyes closed . – «You"ve made the right choice . Starting today, your life will change drastically for the better . And I will get a pretty a.s.sistant . »
«Another word and…» – She threatened him, and Kyon involuntarily flinched at the icy tone of her voice .
The girl went up to him and put the device to his chest .
«How can you prove your skills?» - The girl asked . There was a flicker of interest in her eyes, a desire to get stronger lurked in them . . . She wanted to believe that he really knew how to clean the keys! Then her life would change significantly, and her talent would become infinitely great!
«I need to touch your skin . »
Her turned inquisitive, her mouth straightened into a hard line .
«Well . . . I can try and do it through your clothes . In this case, the effectiveness will suffer, as well as my well-being . »
«Do it then . »
Kyon touched her clothes in the plexus area and infused the wind key with Synergy of the second degree . Back in the mansion, he tried to reach Dinah"s soul and failed because of her body"s resistance . This girl"s development was much higher, but his Synergy was now at the beginning of the student"s degree . . .
When he had cleaned the key by 5% (which took about a quarter of a minute), Kyon pretended to feel unwell . He turned pale . Blood streamed from his nose and the corners of his eyes when he fell on his side . He wished the snow queen would catch him with her hands . . .
When she saw his condition, she was shocked . – «Are you alive?» – She felt his pulse through the collar of her s.h.i.+rt and frowned . He was getting worse and worse . He was barely alive . . .
Each little step on the path to her development took tremendous resources and efforts . And then he appeared out of the blue and improved her cultivation with a single touch!
5% key cleaning cost more than she could earn in half her life! This talented boy was a real treasure . From now on, he belonged only to her . She had cancelled the order to kill him .

Kyon felt her gentle hands on his body, and everything whirled at high speed . The pleasant aroma of her body was electric, stimulating, enchanting . Kyon felt a surge of relief . She wasn"t going to kill him . . .
The girl took Kyon to her s.p.a.cious room on the top floor of a luxury hotel . The atmosphere was pleasing to the eye with the gorgeous interior, perfect lighting, and architectural sophistication in every detail .
She had good taste . At least she was no crazy-cat-lady or h.o.a.rder .
About ten minutes later, Kyon pretended to wake up .
The beautiful girl was sitting on the sofa made of leopard skin, her legs elegantly crossed . She was wearing a black blouse, an alluring short skirt, and tights with a diamond pattern . They were getting all Kyon"s attention, being the highlight of her amazing outfit . Her dark eyes sparkled with curiosity when she looked at Kyon . Her cheek was resting pensively on her little hand .
«Our second meeting didn"t go so well . » – Kyon smiled .
«I am fine with that . What"s your real name?» – She asked him .
«You can call me Kyon . I despise the other one . How can I call you, young lady?»
«I am not telling you . »
«Then I will call you a little thief . » – Kyon pushed the hair back from his forehead in a charming gesture . – «Close cooperation requires trust, and you are not going to tell me your name . »
The girl did not react to his "charming" gesture and got to the point . – «How often can you clean my keys?» - «I might kick the bucket soon if I keep cleaning your keys through the clothes . »
The girl narrowed her beautiful eyes, suspecting him of another lie . However, his b.l.o.o.d.y tears weren"t fake . He must be exaggerating a bit . Anyway, she got the message .
«I can do it more often through your skin . Let"s discuss the terms of our cooperation . » – Kyon tried to stand up when he heard her quiet voice .
«Sit . »
«Why?» – He was surprised but stood anyway . The air ma.s.s. .h.i.t him from the top and crushed him to the floor like a multi-ton boulder .
«I told you to sit . » – The girl repeated impa.s.sively, looking down at Kyon and swaying the toe of her delicate foot .
Kyon was taken aback . – «Uhm… Why are you like this?»
«I am asking the questions here . »
«You? But I provide the service!»
«You"re alive because of me . »
«I ALMOST DIED because of you!» – Kyon raised his voice .
«It"s all the customer"s fault . I just carry out orders and never kill boys for no reason, only for money . »
«What does it matter?! Only I can clean your keys . Treat me nice, and I will be kind in return . Let"s team-up . Or do you think that you did me a favor saving my life?!» – Kyon said, outraged .
«Exactly, and I"m not going to make excuses . You will do as I say, anyway . It can be the easy way or the hard way . It"s up to you . »
Her unspeakable arrogance stole the breath from his lungs . In his world, no girl had ever talked to him like this . Kyon was hoping to get a helper or an a.s.sistant . . . This girl was a real shrew! Kyon stood up, and the air stream nailed him to the floor, this time it was even more powerful .
The girl sighed wearily . It was like handling a naughty dog . – «I"ll put it differently . I had to kill you today . However, I spared you because you"re more useful alive . Now you owe me your life . When you clean all my keys, I will let you go . »
Kyon laughed evilly . – «You know, 5% key cleaning pays back a thousandfold the amount your customer promised you . Anyone who wants to get stronger would accept my offer . And you are among them… I don"t owe you a thing . So, ket"s And now we"ll start from the very beginning . I am Kyon Stone who will regularly clean your keys for a fee . I won"t ask you to pay billions of spheres . You will never earn so much . . . Why are you looking at me like this?» – He frowned at her .
The girl looked more and more amazed at his words . If she could laugh, the whole neighborhood would hear her loud laughter . This boy had a nerve! She had never met anyone like him! Thousands of men dreamed to please her, and this crazy psycho imagined that he was in a position to set his conditions . He even thought of making her his helper! He must be delirious, little naive puppy .
«You"re funny . I am not the kind of girl who gives in to the boys like you . »
«The boys like me?» – Kyon said in a quiet surprised voice . She had challenged his self-esteem, and he wanted to blow a gasket . How could she underestimate him? After everything she had seen?!
«I get it… The hard way it is . » – She elegantly rose from the couch and approached Kyon .
«What are you going to do?»
Without saying a word, the girl put on delicate leather gloves with an elegant gesture, grabbed Kyon by the jaw, squeezed it till he opened his mouth . She made him swallow a sleeping pill . Then she carefully tied his hands behind his back with a strong rope .
She threw him in the corner of the room as if he was a bag of hay .
«You"re f.u.c.king kidding me…» – Kyon whispered . He pretended to fall asleep and even banged his forehead against the wall . He was shaking with anger . This beautiful girl was too unyielding!
