The day prior
The hunter was in the actual Eastern Capital, on a job concerning some guy who'd been supposedly dealing out some nasty steroid to teens and young adults who were aiming to become world renown fighters. The guy's name had been Daisuke, a short average guy with a black bowl cut, slanted eyes, and had some pale skin, like he'd not been outside in a while. He ran a gym himself, despite looking like he should be playing some professional virtual reality gun games, and looked like an extremely successful Southern Capital big shot gambler! The guy hiring him, a police officer who had been trying to nail Daisuke for some time, stated that the reward for this was to be at least a couple of thousand zeni, the more information Pieter got yielding a better payroll! They couldn't get a permit or anything to investigate, so they had gone to Pieter for this.
Pieter paid this guy's place a visit, posing as someone who wanted to get some business with the short guy. He'd told him that he was interested in up and coming guys in his gym that were looking for a big bucks to make! However, he had to test out how these guys were faring so far, asked Daisuke to spar some of them. Daisuke apparently figured that this was a real deal, so he had one of his 'big' guys step into the ring, someone who's muscles were extremely lean, yet fine cut. They were very excited, and for amount of time, Pieter fought him just above his level, a good fight given to the other members of the gym. What Pieter noticed immediately, when they started fighting, was that the guy's power felt as though it was much more than it should've been, even if humans and hybrids could get angry for a brief amount of time! This guy was maintaining a larger amount of time in his bout with Pieter, and though Pieter was getting the advantage, it was still fairly tough to fight at the level Pieter was at.
Afterwards, with a pin count to 10, Pieter told Daisuke that he would get a contract written up for some of his guys to read and sign later on and to contact him on a scouter frequency that would go to the, 'Hunter's Harborage'! Pieter left the building, intending to come back a couple of hours later in the late evening. He had gotten himself some real bulky and covering clothes, along with a mask that covered his head, before returning to a building that overlooked Daisuke's gym. He spotted the guy he fought before, seeing him looking oddly twitchy and scratchy. On top of this, his energy felt much less than what was before.
"That's odd," Pieter thought to himself. He waited for the guy to go somewhere with barely any people, following on the rooftop.
The guy dipped into an alleyway, and Pieter followed suit. There, he cornered the guy, speaking in a high pitched squeak, "That strength of yours! Where'd it go?!"
The guy had no idea what he was talking about. Pieter smashed the wall next to his head, a nasty dent made as he told him to not play stupid and brought up the fight with him before, referring to himself as the contractor that could fight! He also made it known that he could take him up above the clouds and drop him from those thousands of feet, actually lifting off the ground slowly with the guy in hand to make do on his promise. This got him talking quick. He got some juice from Daisuke, who'd been giving it to the guys in the gym to keep up their thirst and develop their muscles. He knew that it had some decent lasting effects and it was a really good, almost addicting drink to get!
Pieter demanded the guy give him the bottle he drank from, which he did. Afterwards, Pieter threatened him to leave that gym and find somewhere else to go, for his sake, or he'd be finding himself dangling above the clouds by the foot, with Pieter holding him! The guy ran off, and Pieter quickly flew back to the Harborage. While there, Pieter took a look at what was going on inside this juice, through sniffing, tasting, and looking at it in a tall glass.
"Tastes like someone took a senzu bean and decided to extract its contents to mix with skunked almond milk," Pieter spat it out, disgusted by what just entered his mouth, "It's definitely meant to be a protein shake, but there's something else, too. Whatever this Daisuke did to this stuff, it isn't healthy for anyone..."
Pieter put the strange concoction back in the guy's bottle, making sure it was sealed up tight before cleaning out the glass so that no one would get the stuff in their system!
Today
Pieter had himself a contract written up on a digital pad when he got called up by Daisuke. He wanted to meet up with him, to which Pieter told him to come to the Harborage, alone, in Videl District, so that they can keep the contract details between the two of them! About twenty minutes late, Daisuke showed up, a grin on his face as Pieter greeted him and guided him to the back room. There, Pieter had sprung his surprise in a rapid flurry. Daisuke seemed to have realized this, managing to block Pieter's attacks without much effort!
"I figured you were someone snooping around," Daisuke cackled, smacking Pieter back before taking off his jacket, "One of my boys ended up talking about a guy who jumped him and had a really high pitched voice that was asking about the fight he had with you. Considering my place has really high windows, I had figured that guy who jumped him was you! I just wasn't expecting it to be someone like yourself: A wanted man and a hero of the Eastern Capital! Here I was thinking you were going to be a lot of trouble, but it looks like those stories were up playing your strength, Mr. Wolfbane..!"
"Perhaps... Perhaps they're not," Pieter retorted, a smile on his face, "Why don't you find out?"
Daisuke seemed intent on it. This small man, whose body was very similar to the guy Pieter fought in Daisuke's gym, rushed forward at Pieter! A returning flurry of blows was given to Pieter. He found himself being pressed back, this small guy for some reason having double his base power! Pieter got smacked into his ring, with Daisuke jumping on it and rattling the floor.
Pieter spat out some blood, before getting to his feet and asking, "You're not actually this strong, are ya? You've been using something... That, 'skunked,' muscle juice had something weird going on with it!"
The short man's grin only widened as he charged at Pieter, hoisting Pieter off the ground with a punch to his abdomen with a hefty punch! Pieter gasped out, as Daisuke told him, "You're sure right about that! A little product I get and sell to my guys at the gym, as well as any who're sporting for a brawl in one of those open fighting matches through the Eastern Capital. It amplifies the user's power by an IMMENSE amount, physically, allowing them to reach up to your tier of power... Or I should say, to the Premier's levels!"
He then roared and hurled Pieter at the ropes. The hunter fell head first, before the rest of his body collapsed to the side. Pieter grabbed for the ropes and gasped. Apparently, he was just a dealer of this drink... And he had the audacity to bring up the Premier! The yellow aura flickered around Pieter, the Hunter getting to his feet and in front of Daisuke, his hair becoming yellow and eyes hard teal. Daisuke was caught off guard by this, but he hurled a punch at Pieter, aiming to knock him back... There would be no effect however!
"See, you just pissed me off a bit," Pieter elucidated, grabbing Daisuke's wrist and twisting it tightly, the sensation almost like he was going to shatter Daisuke's wrist and part of his forearm, "And while I wanna send you flying high right now, I gotta say thank you... You're just reminding me I got some work to do! So, unless you don't wanna become an armless man, you'll get right to talking. Starting with who your provider is."
Pieter opened up Daisuke's fist, snapping a finger and causing the human to yelp, to show his seriousness. Time would go by, Pieter prying Daisuke open for all his information, which was comprised into a data drive for his employer to collect. He had his employer, on top of this, take Daisuke away and keep him under wraps before collecting his cash from Daisuke! Pieter, afterwards, had gotten to thinking about the work he'd be needing to do later on, power-wise, to get up to Vi-Poi and beat some respect and sense to him, the next chance he could. Contacting Articho came to mind, being that he was a master of a school after all. He also ended up thinking about that technique his Dad did, debating if he should go meet with him and figure out how he did that. After this interrogation, it was readily apparent that Pieter needed finesse.
