“Welcome, Mr. George”.“Your file says you’re applying for the position of a hunter in our company,” The blonde-haired male interviewer looked at him with shiny eyes. “So, why do you want this job?”“Well, I’ve always felt passionately about not starving to death, so?”Silence.“Ahem,” The blonde-haired interviewer adjusted his glasses, looking at the black suited man sitting opposite him.George was a handsome young man with neat black hair and shiny purple eyes. His shiny purple eyes did little in enhancing his stature though, it was clear from his second-hand suit and mannerisms that he faked it all.That simple glance already made this interviewer lose interest.He looked down only to see his second-hand black shoes.‘Like I expected, another f*cking loser looking to earn some quick bucks!’The interviewer looked at him with a poker look now on his face. “It says in your CV that you are quick at mathematics”.He looked him up and down. “What is 17 × 19?”“32”.“That’s not even clo
George felt like he was dreaming.Considering the fact that he even had dreams where he became James Bond, fighting villains and riding cars through skyscrapers, he was not surprised by it.‘Well, what story does my dream has for me today?’[Initializing System…][System Boot Successful!][Testing Bloodline…, please wait…][Bloodline Test Successful!][Result: Compactible!][Congratulations George Dickerson!

Mom never really told me much about her family, I only know dad’s family, perhaps they’re really a mysterious James Bond family’.This dream felt like a first person POV interactive game to him.He was amazed. ‘This is new’.[Tape from previous system holder has been detected!][Do you want to listen to tape?]Silence.5 seconds later, George was surprised. ‘Damn, i

The next moment, he burst out laughing.“Muahahaha, f*cking scam!” He roared.“I was f*cking scammed again!”“How on earth did I actually believe a miracle happened?”“I never learn my lesson”. Bonking his head, he slumped down to the ground where his tiny student bed laid, the only real property in his apartment.George sighed, cursing in his mind. ‘What a cheap scam!’‘Who would be
Instantly after leaving the pet shop, George hurried to a corner before fishing the visafone out of his pocket again as he looked with anticipation on his face.“It’s the moment of truth!” He rubbed his sweaty palms together in anticipation as he stared at the visafone“Please, don’t be a scam”.

He was now equipped to show his stomach who was boss.He was now ready to climb down from the tree, but just as he moved…Click!The door to the first floor of the 3-storied building opened the next moment, and from it came out a beautiful blonde-haired young lady with thick curves.On top the tree, George froze even as he gulped.‘F*cking Count Luke!’‘So, this is what you do when your wife is not around huh?’‘F*cking cheater!’‘And not with some random girl either, a girl this hot? F*ck!’Perhaps, it was due to his agitated reaction but a tree branch br
“Whatsup?” George swaggered into the familiar shop.With a poker look on his face, the 12-year-old boy turned to face him. “You came back?”“What do you mean by you came back?” He snapped. “Get me some…”The boy interrupted. “Some more small bread?”“Shut up!” Glaring at the boy, George exaggeratedly fished out a 1,000 NUS credit note out of his pocket and plastered it on the boy’s face.“There, that’s money boy, money!” He grinned.“Now, get me what I ordered previously; I told you I’ll be coming back with money right?”Silence.With surprise written all over his face, this little boy stared at him with suspicion now appearing on his face, as if questioning where he went to steal from.George cursed in his mind. ‘This brat!’“Just get me what I ordered!” He glared at him.“Hmm, ok”. The boy shrugged and went to fetch it before giving him his credit left over from the money.George was surprised, he looked at the boy. “815 Credits?”“Yes”. The boy nodded. “Small bread is no longer 140

“You’ll really pay me 500 NUS Credits if I manage to hit the hawk?” The boy looked at the uncle before him suspiciously.“Yes,” George nodded with a gentle smile on his face.“Not necessarily hit it, all I need from you is to startle the hawk just after it catches the hen’s chick, make him drop the chick”.“Oh!” The boy finally understood, then he smiled. “I can do it”.He didn’t care what this uncle wanted to do with it, all he knew was that he was about to get 500 NUS Credits richer.For a little boy like him, that was a lot of money. He was happy.Seeing his enthusiasm, George smiled. “Good, then follow me”.25 minutes later, George and his temporary partner were in position and they both had their weapons ready, a stone and his visafone camera.It took George more than 3 hours to make sure all the conditions were met for this moment.
