23 Warm Welcome Part 2 (1/2)
Desmond looked at his landlord and grinned ”sure a bribe why not let's call it that, can you open the door for me now”.
The landlord snatched the crystal away as fast as he could probably in fear I would go back on what I just said: ”I always knew you were my best tenant always so considerate of me if your planning on doing something and telling me to look the other way say no more”.
Right after getting my money he starts singing a different tune, its nice to know people can be bribed no matter what world you're on. Oleg when back into his home picked up his keys and opened my door before going back to his apartment.
Oleg wait ”I need a new set of keys how soon can you get them for me”. He turns around after hearing me ”I'll need a few days the guy I usually have is closed for now just don't lock your door when you go out till then”. He then shut the door and went back to playing his music loudly I just know I'm gonna hate that song.
Stepping into my apartment it was fairly quaint not big but not small. When I entered it was into the living room there was a window looking out to the street I was just walking on, a table in the middle what looked to be a newspaper a sofa on the left and a small CRT TV. I constantly feel like I've been sent back in time instead of another world.

The bedroom was on my right it had a bed, a nightstand with a few memorabilia, a closet full of clothes, the bathroom was inside my bedroom it was small only a shower toilet and sink. My kitchen was on the left side of the living room it was plain-looking a few canned goods in the cabinets and a mini fridge you typically see at a hotel.
The place was quaint but it was better then the street now I could finally practice magic. I place all the stuff I was carrying on the table in front of me. Despite me being a bit tired I sit on the couch Pick up the first book In the pile titled Path Of A Magus. I was going to start reading it when someone came knocking on my door.
”Come on can't the universe just give me five minutes of piece to study magic”. I lazily get up to answer the door, open it only to find a glowing fist right in my face ”What?” I got punched hard.
The force from his fist was somehow able to send me flying, I landed on the table in the middle of the room. The table was sturdy enough not to break but my nose wasn't it was bent awkwardly to the right. I held my nose in pain as blood flowed out of it the punch also managed to disorientate me making the room spin resulting in me falling off the table to my left on the ground next to the TV.
”Whoo, That's what I'm talking about man it felt good. Hay Ross, you want to hit him too”. Clement turned his head with a large grin on his face waiting for Ross's reply.
”Of course this old shit almost got us killed both its only fair we return the favor” Ross walks in the room with Clement following closely behind making their way next to Desmond still in pain on the floor.
Ross makes his way next to Desmond circling around him blocking his view of the TV while Clement stood by Desmond's feet. ”Remember us you old bastard, you gave us the slip a little over 2 weeks ago I honestly thought all that stuff you said to our boss about taking on his debt and making everything right again was all a bunch of bull.
I was beginning to think maybe it was all a ruse to buy more time so you could break you, little friend, out or maybe you somehow managed to break the contract you signed and weren't going to come back to pay what you now owe. Giving your self enough time to escape so you wouldn't be killed for his mess. It scared the bloody daylights out of me ... Hay you listening to me”.
Desmond stops holding his bloody nose as he looked at the man named Ross standing above him ”who are you?”.
Ross looked at me ”who am I?”. His foot then begins to glow as he kicks me so hard he almost dislocated my jaw. I spit out blood and if I had teeth they would have been kicked out.
