Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Iris subconsciously smiled when she heard Jonathan's tone starting to sound irritated.  However, she hastily suppressed her smile again because the situation was serious now. She also sat in front of Eva and took a sip of her coffee while inviting her to chat.

'Ana, keep your eyes around you. I can't see him.'

Iris furrowed her brows slightly because she felt strange with Jonathan's request. But because he's a telepathic user, she understands a little about how telepathy itself works.

"This place is quite comfortable huh. I'll be coming here often." She said deliberately looking around to see the atmosphere of the shop. She kept her eyes away from the demon as much as possible.

'You see him?' She asked Jonathan.

'Hmm. Enough.'

Iris was quite relieved that Jonathan didn't ask her to do anything weird because she was worried that the demon would realize their intentions.

"Yeah, the coffee's good too. By the way, how about Jack?" Eva asked deliberately, reminding her of that perverted Jack. Iris immediately rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Seriously? Doesn't this interview have better quality questions?" She asked in an irritated tone. Eva smiled mischievously as she shook her head.

"You seem to be taking an interest in him." Iris glared in horror.

"What?! No. He's a brainless pervert who can only seduce women."

Eva laughed at Iris's natural expression when she commented on Jack. Because Jack is not liked by all the women in the organization. She also deliberately raised the topic so that their conversation would not be stiff.

But just as she was about to resume the conversation with Iris, the demon suddenly stood up from his chair and made Iris a little nervous. She even deliberately raised her coffee cup to get rid of her nervousness.

"Excuse me, beautiful ladies. May I join you?"

Her movement was momentarily stopped when a man who was none other than the demonic figure they were aiming for stood beside her. She didn't know what the demon was thinking until it approached them.

'Oh my god! He's coming towards me! Was my disguise exposed? What should I do?' Iris immediately panicked.

'Calm yourself, Ana. Calm.'

Eva, who saw Iris daydream while turning to the demon, immediately slapped the hand that was holding the coffee cup lightly. She then smiled at the demon with a normal expression.

"Sure. Sorry for my friend, she likes to daydream when she sees a handsome man." She said friendly.

Iris hastily put down her cup and laughed so awkwardly. Though he was already nervous half to death.

"Introducing, I'm James. I'm a model photographer. If you're interested, I'd like to invite you to be my model. Are you interested?" He asked.

Iris raised her eyebrows so high and glanced at Eva several times.

"I'm Eva and she's my best friend, Iris. Sorry, but what made you interested in making us be models?" Eva asked directly as if she was such a cautious woman. She blatantly shows that she has a hard time trusting strangers she doesn't know.

James smiled sweetly as if he was used to meeting people like Eva. He pulled out a chair and sat between Eva and Iris.

"I see you both so beautiful. That's why I offered to make you both my model."

What James said was unbelievable. Iris herself wasn't sure what to say. Maybe she would be killed if she followed his offer. Eva smiled again so sweetly that her eyes narrowed.

"I'm not interested. How about you?" She said casually rejecting his offer.

Iris glared again. For God's sake! She didn't know what to say at this point. James's gaze was now directed to her.

'Careful, his eyes.' Jonathan reminded her.

She looked straight at James' lips so she wouldn't meet his eyes.

"Sorry, but I lack confidence. You can offer it to another woman." She politely refused. James looked relaxed as she and Eva turned down his offer.

"Are you sure you don't want to? I've photographed more than a dozen artists. So maybe you guys can get a chance to become famous."

Eva smiled a little because her plan to get James' attention had worked. She gave Iris a code to leave the café.

"Sorry, James. But we're not interested in being famous." Eva said taking Iris out of the cafe.

She grabbed her small bag on the table and smiled awkwardly at James before she went after Eva. She just followed Eva behind her without looked back anymore.

And according to Eva's plan, James followed the two of them after exiting the café. Eva herself has explained that James is only pretending to be a photographer and invites women to be his models. Even though all the women who became his models had rotted on the ground because they were killed in such a sadistic way.

That's why they deliberately took James to a place far from the crowds so she could be free to carry out her mission.

-The Hunter's Headquarters-

Martin and Tommy were seen casually drinking coffee in the living room. The fire that was lit there was so warm. Usually, they always talk with fellow Hunters. But because today was very busy, there was only Tommy accompanying him.

"Do you think they'll make it?" He asked thinking of Eva and Iris.

Tommy couldn't say much because they had just discovered one important piece of information about the new demon skill. He brushed his hair back and leaned back against the chair.

"Although this demon is weak, he can read the future. What I see, it's just like them fighting ordinary demons."

Martin confirmed Tommy's words. He also thought maybe he should just follow Eva and help.

"Just trust Eva. She's smart and shrewd. She can complete this mission." Tommy said again as if he could read Martin's mind.

Martin smiled a little and stood towards the window. The snow has started to fall again and Christmas will soon be here. He had better think of good things so that his mind would not be chaotic.

"How is Jack doing?" Tommy asked again. Martin glanced over for a moment before he chuckled at the memory of yesterday's events.

"He didn't get hurt fighting the demons. But yesterday he was acting so stupid. He slipped and fell into a small pond. But when he slipped, his buttocks occupied a pretty big rock in a pond. You know what's next, right?" Martin said laughing to himself remembering how stupid Jack was.

Jack seduces a woman and instead receives a hard slap until he slips and falls into a pond in a city park. And to make matters worse, he was unable to walk for two days due to the incident. Tommy shook his head and was speechless at Jack's behavior.

"He finally got his karma too."

"Hey! Guys! You guys go and follow Eva right now." Suddenly Shane appeared with a pale face and gasping for breath.

"Why?" Martin immediately asked.

"Eva is asking for help!"
