Chapter 4. Miles

Tommy walked over to Iris and pulled her hand slowly toward the table. He then took out a knife and suddenly slashed her index finger. The movement was so fast that Iris herself didn't have time to wince in pain. 

"Only the blood of Hunters can kill demons. And you are a Hunter, Iris. You are destined to possess that blood to exterminate demons." Eva said while collecting Iris's blood drop into a stainless steel container. 

Iris winced in pain as Tommy deliberately pressed hard against the incision on her index finger to force the blood to stop flowing out. Then he wrapped the incision with a cloth and gave her a lemon. 

"Only my blood? That's all? How to kill him? Doused him with blood?" Iris asked Eva and occasionally looked at the lemon that Tommy had given her. 

Eva deliberately held back her words as her hands worked deftly to put Iris' blood into the glass tube and then gave the blood back to her. 

"Devils will burn if they are exposed to your blood. Only one condition... The blood must enter the heart."

Iris immediately touched her forehead, and she was almost shaky because of Eva's extraordinary level of imagination. Is the devil afraid of her blood? So how do you get the blood into the heart? 

Pretend to be an acupuncturist and stab him straight away? Iris felt like her head might explode just thinking about how to kill a demon that wouldn't put her life in danger. 

She didn't know how strong the demon's power was. Then Eva and Tommy said so seriously as if not giving her a chance to laugh for a moment like crazy. 

"Okay, okay. Let's just say I believe your story. But I don't think this is my forte, and I can't possibly do something crazy that puts my life at risk like that. So I hope you guys understand my anxiety with this organization." She said and left the room. 

But she forgot that Eva was kidnapping her. Then she went back into the room and looked at the two people still in the same position. 

"Erm… Can you guys walk me to the front? I can go home alone by taking the bus." Iris said awkwardly. 

Eva sighed, unable to continue her explanation to Iris. She massaged her forehead while telling Tommy to deliver Iris to the house forward. 

"I'm telling you this, Iris. They're after The Hunters because, to them, we're the only humans threatening their lives. If you have that gift to fight back, I suggest you fight." 

Eva's words echoed in her head. Tommy closed the door as she and Eva still stared at each other. A clear message told her that her life was in danger. 

Tommy also escorted Iris out of the house and only brought her to the front of the house. Iris completely lost hope in the man for not understanding the situation. 

How possible he was just abandoned after they arbitrarily kidnapped a woman. Iris put her right hand on her hips and stared at the empty road in front of the house. She turned and found Tommy has back in the place. 

"Excuse me! May I know which area this is in?" Iris shouted at him, who was about to close the gate. 

"No!" For God's sake, Iris wanted to throw the shoe she was wearing at his head. What's going on with these people? 

"Hey! Tommy! Is the bus stop far from this place?" Iris shouted again. But this time, Tommy opened the gate and came out looking at her with his arms folded across his chest. 

"A close! Five kilometers from this house!" And Iris successfully glared at Tommy, eager to beat up the introverted man.

"Damn you, Tommy! Take me home now!" And after much coercion, Tommy finally decided to take Iris back to her apartment. 

On the way, Tommy was as cold as his face from not saying anything. Iris then threw her mind as far as possible to get familiar with Tommy, who wanted to take her from that house in the middle of nowhere. 

"Are you guys building an army somewhere? A thousand more forces of The Hunter would be enough to kill the devil." 

Tommy, of course, turned his head with a hardened expression suddenly. She shouldn't have said something so quickly. He had been trying patiently to handle this new Hunter. But still, it was all too annoying for him. 

"An army of over a thousand men? What are you talking about?" Tommy said as if irritated to hear her question. 

"Eva told me I'm the 1,456th batch. That means there are over a thousand of your troops, right? It's easy enough to kill them." Iris said, looking at Tommy, trying to convince him. Tommy immediately understood the flow of this strange conversation. 

"Listen, potato woman. In this organization, the entire Hunter is only thirty humans. And you're the 1456th who entered the organization. If only we didn't notice you as The Hunter in your coffee shop, sooner or later, you would be put into small pieces even though your bones can no longer be put together for an autopsy because of the devil's actions." 

Iris was silent with her mouth slightly open. She was a 1456th Hunter who entered the organization. A number that didn't matter to remember, and Iris immediately touched her forehead. 

"Then what should I do? Call the Avengers? Robert Downey or Ben Affleck? You've been telling me their characteristics like bullshit. How can I believe it? I don't even know what a demon looks like." 

Tommy, who could not stand it, then slammed the steering wheel to the side. This debate was impossible for him to avoid because Iris became more annoying than he thought. 

"Then what do you want? Drag you into the devil's lair and introduce you to them so you can believe? They are hunting us, and they want us to be wiped off the face of the earth first. Why don't you understand?" Tommy said loudly in a very frustrating tone of voice. 

Iris didn't know what to do anymore. She will continue to believe in her logic or trust this bunch of depressed people. If the devil hunts The Hunter, why is she still fine until now? 

All the stories they told were complete nonsense to her. Tommy leaned back while controlling his explosive emotions.

"I'm sorry. My emotions are unstable because all of our members are still in mourning." 

Iris chose to look down and stare at her hands after she saw Tommy's change in emotion. She didn't know what was happening to their members and didn't know what to do. 

"Something happened?" Iris asked carefully so as not to provoke his emotions again. Tommy rubbed his face a few times before leaning his head on the steering wheel. 

"One of our members died a week ago . . . And he's Eva's best friend, Miles."
