Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

It had been a few hours now since Shin had sent his men out to find Larry’s mother. As they were waiting, Shin continued to eat without a care in the world. Michael was having a mental conversation with the Spirit of the Akashic Records while pretending to read a book. Larry, on the other hand, was getting more anxious by the second.

It was then the door to the restaurant opened and a group of men in suits arrived. The group of men approached Shin’s table and bowed their heads.

“So have you found her?” Shin asked the leader of the group while stuffing a piece of steak in his mouth.

“Yes young master, we did find her-” When Larry heard what the man said he got excited but then the next thing he heard made him feel worried. ” But her mental state isn’t normal.” The leader then signaled the others to bring Mollie Fletcher forward.

Mollie who was being escorted into the restaurant was wearing a very revealing dress. She also had a dazed look as she smiled seductively at everyone around her. When she saw Shin she made some very suggestive movements.

“Are you the one who bought me, do you want me to serve everyone here?” Mollie closed in on Shin, but before she could do anything inappropriate Shin knocked her out.

.....

“She really is not in the right mind, she didn’t even look at her son. Alright, contact a doctor and tell them to get here as fast as possible.” While Shin was giving his orders to his men, Larry held onto his unconscious mother.

‘What are you waiting for? let’s check her situation and heal her.’ The Spirit of the Akashic Records spoke.

‘I want to wait and see what the doctor Shin calls have to say about the situation. We might find figure out something new.’

‘There’s no time for that, based on what I saw last time the longer one has been introduced to this new drug the harder it is to cure. With my current fragmented knowledge of alchemy, we might not be able to save her if we wait any longer. She is already pretty far gone.’

‘Why didn’t you say that a few hours ago?!’ While Michael was scolding the Spirit in his mind, he approached Larry who was holding onto his mother.

“Larry, can I have look at your mother, I think I have a way to cure her.”

“Really?! Please if you can do something!” Larry who was already panicking while holding back his tears grabbed hold of Michael with a look of desperation in his eyes. Shin who also heard what Michael had said, looked at his schoolmate with curiosity.

“Yes, I can help her, Shin can I ask your men to help me gather some ingredients that I need.”

“Sure, tell them whatever you need.”

Michael nodded his head in appreciation of Shin’s trust as he started checking out Mollie’s current condition. The first thing Michael did was open Mollie’s mouth and smelled her breath. Using his mana to enhance his smell and with the help of the Spirit, Michael had a clear understanding of the contents of the drug used on Mollie and how long she has been using it, even how much she already had.

The amount of the drugs used on her was smaller compared to the previous person Michael helped, but the quality of the drug that was used on Mollie was better. Also based on the smell, it has been a few weeks since Mollie started taking the drug. Now the problem was, due to the increase in quality Michael and even the Spirit needed to change some of the things needed to make the potion that could cure Mollie.

While Michael was doing his thing, the leader of Shin’s men whispered to Shin.

“Young Master, do we still need to call that doctor?”

“Hmm, since this thing isn’t really life-threatening let’s put a hold on that. For now, I just want you to bring whatever Michael needs.”

...

“Bring me a glass of water and a knife or anything sharp.” One of Shin’s men handed Michael a glass filled with water and a knife that he took from his pocket. Upon receiving the things he needed, Michael made a small cut on Mollie’s finger.

“What are you doing?!” Larry was about to lunge at Michael but Shin stopped him. Larry struggled to escape from Shin’s tight grip but despite giving everything Larry had no hope of even making Shin flinch. On the other hand, Michael was so concentrated on what he was doing he couldn’t hear Larry’s voice.

“Just shut up, and watch,” Shin spoke without even looking at Larry as he was intensely staring at what Michael was doing.

After making a tiny cut on Mollie’s finger Michael made her drop a little bit of blood into the glass of water. The water then started turning green and then black, it wasn’t fast but it wasn’t slow either. When Michael saw this he frowned.

‘Tsk, it’s already seeped into her blood. We need to move fast.’

Michael then consulted with the Spirit and he started writing the materials he needed. He then passed the list to Shin’s men. Once that was done, Michael looked at Shin.

“Shin, can you make everyone else aside from the three of us step outside.”

“You heard the man, everyone out, and do not enter without permission.” Shin’s men bowed their heads and they exited the restaurant alongside the staff in an orderly manner.

“Shin, Larry can you promise me to keep what you’re about to see a secret.”

“Of course,” Shin answered without hesitation.

After hesitating for a few seconds Larry also responded. “If this can save my mother I’ll promise you anything.”

Michael nodded his head as he placed his hand on Mollie’s abdomen, Michael then started reciting spell words. Michael’s hand was now visibly glowing as some unknown force entered Mollie’s body. Larry was confused as to what Michael was doing but he wasn’t that surprised as he had little to no understanding of what Martial Artists can do and thought this was normal for them.

On the other hand, Shin was shocked by the sight. What Michael was doing was similar to when Grandmasters used Qi and make it flow outwards. Shin was sure that Michael wasn’t a Grandmaster, but then how was he able to make his Qi flow out of his body? Shin was really curious and had many questions he wanted to ask Michael but he held back as this was not the right time to do so.

...

Michael was using an advanced healing spell to cleanse a bit of Mollie’s blood, but he was only able to cleanse it a little bit. Michael’s current mana supply was too small for him to be able to use the advanced healing spell properly, but it was enough for him to slow down the corruption of the drug.

This was the only thing he could do as he waited for Shin’s men to bring the materials he needed. Even then he wasn’t a hundred percent sure that he could cure Mollie.
