Orion (The Hunter)

Differ

" Select the blue."

" What's a ?"

" Pick the blue, you hear ?"

" All right."

Ziran sighed after successfully giving Mintaka the order to choose the pearls that were blue on the orders of Alnilam and Alnitak.

" What is this pearl for ? Why don't we just sell it directly ?" Bellatrix, who had been silent, asked.

" Are you crazy ?" Ziran glanced at the cynical Bellatrix. " You want to get caught because you have a rare pearl ? Though you clearly know in any country pearls are very rare because they are almost extinct."

Bellatrix simply nodded her head and ignored the cynical gleam that Ziran had given her.

" You guys done ?" Orion walked over while carrying three maps in his hand.

Ziran shook his head slowly. " Nearly, wait a minute."

" All right." Orion looked at Bellatrix who was helping Mintaka. " Altrix call the others. After Mintaka's done with his work, we're meeting for a bit."

" Yes." Bellatrix went to look for her four brothers. They must be dating right now, Bellatrix is convinced of that.

Orion placed the three maps he carried on the table and helped Mintaka and Ziran who were cool to choose pearls on the floor with a thick fur carpet.

Mintaka smiled looking at Orion who was helping him. " Thank you, you're old but you still want to help young people like me."

" Who do you call old ?" Orion raised his eyebrows next to look at Mintaka asking but with a threatening tone.

" If you forget, you and Orion were born the same year" Ziran said.

Mintaka laughed as he waved his hand. " I'm just kidding."

" It's not funny" Orion said.

" And so childish." Ziran added Orion's words.

Mintaka pursed his lips. " There's nothing I can joke about."

Ziran rolled a lazy eye looking at Mintaka's expression which he thought was quite laughable. Orion shrugged his shoulders without looking.

" It's done." Ziran smiled at the pile of pearls from their election.

" Finally !" Mintaka exclaimed loudly while moving his body that felt sore.

Orion stood up and walked towards the sofa. " Gather the rest." he ordered.

" Prepared to do it." Mintaka immediately collected the remaining pearls and put them back in the backpack with the help of Ziran.

" Orion."

Orion turned to look at Bellatrix who approached him with Rigel, Saiph, Alnilam, and Alnitak behind him.

" Sit down, we wait for Mintaka and Ziran." Orion.

Mintaka came carrying a basket of blue pearls with Ziran. Then put it on the table.

" Wow ! It's beautiful." Alnilam sparkled in amazement at the sparkle of the blue pearl in front of him.

" I didn't think that this beautiful thing came from living creatures in the sea" Rigel said.

" Maybe this is called the wealth of the sea that can destroy the country." Saiph is talking.

" And surely the captivators of women." Alnitak took one blue pearl from the basket. His eyes scrutinized with a twinkle of admiration staring at the pearl in his hand.

" What is this country Zai's target for ?" Orion looked at Ziran.

Ziran nodded her head. " Not only that, they're also after my gold."

Mintaka glared at hearing that. " You still have another treasure ?"

Ziran again nodded her head while smiling arrogantly. " Of course, otherwise why would I still be able to survive to this point ?"

" Having treasures abound without an heir for what use ?" Bellatrix sneered at Ziran directly.

Ziran's eyes sharpened for a moment. " Don't insult me because I found him."

" Who ?"

" Orion."

...*****...

" Jebel." Hansen ran after Gabriel who had just stepped out of the elevator.

Gabriel stopped his steps before turning to look at Hansen behind him." What's up ?"

" Why are you ? These few days you seem to be avoiding me."

" Just your feelings."

Hansen looked at Gabriel in disbelief. " really ? Then why is your answer so short ?"

" I'm tired."

" Want me to help you ?"

Gabriel shook his head. " No need, I'm busy right now."

Hansen smiled and patted Gabriel on the shoulder. " Yes, then I'll go first."

" Yes."

Hansen walked away past Gabriel. The smile that had previously risen beautifully on her lips slowly disappeared. Hansen hid his fist inside his pants pocket.

Don't feel guilty about Gabriel because what's wrong here isn't you but your father ! Inner Hansen.

Hansen brushed his hair back and exhaled a rough breath. Humans are greedy and consider other creatures to be eradicated like insects, he thought.

" Silene."

Hansen flinched then looked at the direction from which the voice called out to him. " Roina ?"

Reina walked over wearing her work clothes. " Have you had lunch ?"

Hansen shook his head slowly. " I just wanted to eat."

" Together ?"

" Come on."

" Why are you here ?" Hansen glanced at Reina at a glance.

" And what are you doing yourself ? You and Gabriel are always together."

Hansen was silent for a moment before replying. " He looks different these days."

" Different ? You mean ?" ask Reina.

" I don't know if it's just my feeling or not but I feel Gabriel's been avoiding me these days."

" Maybe he's busy. You know that he's an only child ? Not to mention his father who liked that perfection."

Hansen smiled faintly. " Hm."

Reina tucked some of her hair behind her ears. His lips smiled as he looked at Hansen from the side. Today the man looks handsome with his white T-shirt and black jeans. Clothes that are simple but look classy when used by Hansen.

" Don't look at me like that or you'll make me run scared later." Hansen rubbed his neck which felt goosebumps.

Reina laughed and then shifted her eyes. " I'm sorry."

Hansen smiled back at Reina. At least Reina could still be a normal girl in his view.

" Let's sit by the window." Reina pointed at the table that was not far from them.

Hansen agreed. " You sit there, let me order. What do you want ?"

Reina thought for a moment before answering. " What matters most is the flesh."

" All right."

Reina walked towards the table by the window. From inside Reina could see people passing by. Seeing that sight Reina became smiling to herself. Lunch with his loved ones and joke together while occasionally seeing people passing by through the see-through window next to him. Doesn't that look romantic ?.

" This is your order." Orion gives Reina a meat steak with strawberry milk.

Reina turned her head then smiled looking at the order Hansen had just given her. " Thank you."

" Same same." Hansen caught a glimpse of Reina before eating her food. Hansen occasionally glanced at Reina in front of him. The girl looked very elegant while eating. Even the way he cuts meat looks elegant.

" You're a noble ?"

Reina stopped her activities for a moment. " No, why ?"

Hansen shook his head. " I'm just asking."

Reina smiled and resumed eating. Silently Reina looked at Hansen.

God I love her, can you please do that for me ? Inner Reina.
