"So? Tell me, fake killer. What are you going to do?"
Jack smiles mockingly and speaks confidently. Luiz just watches with a serious expression, turns away from Jack, sits down in the chair, picks up the cup elegantly, and begins to sip his tea. Looking at his reflection in the tea, Luiz remembers when he talked to Arthur.
"Huh? You want to know about Jack? Okay... he's a very annoying person, his skill, his confident manner, and his pride make him difficult to deal with, but other than that... he's fun, undoubtedly one of the candidates for 'King,' so be careful.
The tea tasted better than ever. Jack doesn't understand why he didn't show any reaction to the fact that he sent executioners to assassinate Arthur. Luiz crosses his legs, rests his face on his hand, and smiles kindly, challenging Jack.
"Brother, tell everyone to be prepared."
Jack was worried. The mystery and insecurity of not being able to hear the thoughts of the man in front of him made him anxious. Even though he held the life of the man who was the leader in his hands, he felt that something was wrong.
On the roof near the coffee machine, the sniper gets ready, the soldiers in the alleys are ready, everyone is waiting for orders.
In front of a silence while Luiz and Jack stare at each other, the pressure between them only increases more and more, so he activates the communicator.
"Permission granted."
The sniper quickly shoots Arthur, hitting him in the throat. Arthur's face is unresponsive, and he quickly puts his hand to his throat, trying to stop the bleeding. The soldiers jump through the glass and advance on Arthur, who is in distress. However, a big smile appears on his face. The man advancing with the sword has his body exploded by number 3, who appears on top of him, crushing his body.
The sniper, realizing what had happened, tries to shoot again. He shoots, but the shot is reflected by a large black tentacle, and behind him a hooded figure appears. He feels its evil presence and tries to turn quickly and counterattack, but his body feels heavy. He cannot hold the gun and drops it. Blood flows from his mouth, dark red blood, and his skin begins to bulge as if something were pushing it from within. He screams, blood flows from his eyes, nose, and ears, and then his skin bursts open. Maggots appear and begin to eat the man's skin, his organs exposed as the parasites devour him.
The hooded figure just watches the man being brutally killed. The swords were killing everyone without hesitation, the soldiers despair and some try to flee, but then crows appear and begin to peck and tear the men's skin, a being appeared from the darkness with a large torn black cloak and a purple iron mask that hid his mouth and nose.
"M-M-Monsters!" The man on the ground stammered as he watched his friends being devoured alive by the crows.
A large flock of crows flies toward the body of the man sitting on the ground, his screams loud, the number stamped on the man's cape reflecting his position... number 4.
"Looks like it's over."
Number 3 says as he pierces a man's heart with a spear. Arthur was smiling, his neck still bleeding, the shot had managed to pierce his throat, but then Arthur senses something approaching and tries to look, but when he turns his face there is nothing there, however he once again senses something wrong and turns his head again and in front of him appears a man with his sword trying to stab Arthur's stomach, he realizes too late, but then he is devoured by something that looked like a tentacle, but at the same time a fox, coming out of the ground at great speed, the sword and his arm fall to the ground, severed from his body.
"Hey, that would be dangerous, thank you 1!"
At the top of the building, there was the most enigmatic figure among all those gathered. Arthur fixes his hair while opening his arms, smelling the blood and sensing the presence of death in the place.
Back in that dark place, Luiz looked up and smiled, but then the smile on his face grew, and he began to laugh loudly. Jack looked on with doubt as they both sat there while Luiz began to go crazy.
"What's so funny?"
The man smiled as if he were at a comedy show while staring at me with a face that exuded pleasure. Chills ran through my body. That expression reminded me of that bastard. He finally stopped laughing.
"Tell me, when was the last time your subjects gave you a report?"
Jack's face looks uneasy, he starts shaking his leg as he thinks about it, and then the communicator starts ringing. Jack sighs deeply with hope and a brief smile spreads across his face.
"Go on... answer it."
The silence is broken, and Luiz's frightening gaze and smile make Jack look at the communicator with fear. His breathing is heavy, the sound of the device pounds in his head, his breathing quickens, and he answers the call.
"Enrique?"
Jack's voice is shaky, fear is surrounding his mind, a request to turn on the video communication device, he eagerly accepts, and a macabre sight, his companion's severed head in front of the camera, insects crawling across his face, part of his vertebrae exposed, Jack drops the device on the table, devastated, but then Luiz grabs the device and holds it, the man's head is dropped on the floor, the device is turned towards him, and then a leg appears and then stands up and then crushes the head into several pieces, the pieces of brain scattered on the floor make Jack vomit, he looks once more at the image, and then Arthur appears with his neck bandaged to try to stop the bleeding.
"I had a slight insecurity that you wouldn't attack me, but apparently that was stupid of me, it was obvious that you would attack, overconfidence and a certain idiocy, you know?
End of chapter.
