"Neo, if you were a different person right now, I would have executed you in the spot for the crime of rape. But you're lucky that we, at the Order, are aware of your moral exceptionality, as well as your abilities." Rattus sternly told him. "If you can't be a good person, at least you should have pretended to be one for the duration of this operation."<br/><br/>"Dude, I'm sorry, 'kay?" Neo said in the indifferent tone, not directly looking at Rattus' eyes but instead to Yukina as she cleaned up the vomit on the store's floor. "Her pukin' her guts out ain't a part of mah plan, man. I shouldn't 'ave put all of my dick into 'er pie hole all at once."<br/><br/>"You have practically forced yourself upon her without her consent and all you are sorry for right now is the way you have done it, wanting to be more gentle." The businessman said in a monotone, as if to imply a sort of irony in the whole situation, along with a short pause that followed the sentence. "Neo, I have told you many times to be discreet when to be an animal when the situation calls of it. Besides, your ability to emotionally ignore legality and morality is partly the reason why I employed you."<br/><br/>"And ya' tellin' me now dat you want me to be an asshole when you need me to be one?" Neo interjected. "Ratt, ya' dun 'ave to tell me dat, I kno' it already."<br/><br/>"If you knew it beforehand, you shouldn't be doing things like this to people who aren't deserving on such treatment." Rattus retorted. "Miss Davis didn't deserve to be raped."<br/><br/>"Dude, I din kno' I was rapin' her, she never said 'no'." Neo defended himself.<br/><br/>"Neither did she say 'yes', I reckon." Rattus countered him.<br/><br/>"Fine." Neo was exasperated. "But I didn't kno', a'right? I didn't fuckin' know."<br/><br/>"It's too late for you to know now, for you have driven Miss Davis away from you." Rattus scolded him. "That's not something she can forgive you for, at least not easily."<br/><br/>"And what if I prove ya' wrong fo' dat shit?" Neo dared him. Upon saying that, both Rattus and Yukina was flabbergasted and aghast, so much that nobody uttered a sound for a few short seconds.<br/><br/>"Neo," Rattus finally said. "How dare you make such suggestion?"<br/><br/>"Because I always fuckin' dare, man." Neo said, with a bit of defiance. "Don't ya' know how I roll?"<br/><br/>"What are you trying to instigate now?" Rattus asked him directly.<br/><br/>Neo then replied, "I'm going to go to her, say I'm didn't mean dat shit earlier, and say I'm sorry. How 'bout that, Ratt?"<br/><br/>"You are going to inevitably fail." Rattus said. "Rape victims have a psychological tendency to seek revenge against their attacker. How much more someone who is still fresh from the trauma?"<br/><br/>"I kno' dat, man." Neo said. "But I ain't gonna settle for that shit."<br/><br/>"Then do what you want." Rattus just let him go. "But remember, you will inevitably anger Miss Davis and fail to get your expectations." He then turned to look at Yukina, who is finally done cleaning the store floor. She had a nervous look in her eyes and her aura didn't disguise that feel either.<br/><br/>"And if I got it, what do you have for me?" Neo asked.<br/><br/>"Are you asking for a reward?" Rattus threw back a question.<br/><br/>"Not reward, ya' dipshit." The alchemist cleared himself up. "I'm asking for a bet. Ya' tell me that she'll hate mah guts; I tell ya' that she wouldn't. With that, I bet that I'll nevah see her again, because she'll walk away if I fail every fuckin' time she sees mah ass. So, what do you bet?"<br/><br/>Rattus then paused for a bit, before finally answering. "I'll think about it afterwards, depending of how successful you are or if you are not."<br/><br/>"Then deal, ya' damn pussy." Neo then walked out of the store, into the pouring rain, towards Lexi's apartment. He ran in an effort to not get too wet from going out of the rain, but he still ended up soaking wet when he reached her apartment. And with that, he knocked on the door, without saying a word.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Rattus and Yukina were left behind the in the shop, still recovering from the incident Neo did from earlier.<br/><br/>Yukina began to ask the arms dealer, "Onii-chan, is it alright for him to be allowed like that?"<br/><br/>"Yes." He said to her. "For it is either him or us who learns a lesson. Let him fail."
