BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161: Heroine Chapter: I will try [2/2]
Then I leaned into his ear and whispered in a bloodthirsty voice.
"You will die tonight Adam. How many girls have you taken advantage of? For a reaper you are beyond disgusting. If you think you will get out of this alive, you are sadly mistaken."
Without waiting for his answer, I took out a kunai and stabbed one of his hands.
"The liquid I sprayed you with is a poison made from Cerbera odollam, better known as the suicide tree. By now, you must be having trouble breathing, right? If you don\'t get the antidote soon, you will vomit your guts out and die painfully."
"I don\'t wanna die, save me! Gib me the antidote! I\'ll do anything!"
This piece of trash. Adam Carr, was a Wraith who preyed on human women, using death resonance to rape and then murder them. He was a member of the mercenary army known as the Saviors.
How many women died for this sick man\'s twisted malice? How many begged him to stop?
"How did you get the information on John Smith?"
"I don\'t know! It was given to us by someone in a hood! I was just told to give it to an Asian woman in this Starbucks! I didn\'t even know what was on it!"
"Don\'t lie to me!" I whispered as I removed his left thumb.
"AHHHHHHH!"
"Keep screaming if you want to lose more," I warned as I neatly cut off his index finger.
"Huhuhu, I really don\'t know lady! I am just a gofer in the army. What I do know is that I was not the only one who shared those folders, there were others!"
Bawling like a child, Adam continued to sob as he bled from multiple wounds. His skin, already beginning to turn purple, indicated his imminent demise.
Earlier he had been coughing heavily. Now he began to choke as if he were being strangled.
"L-Lady! I-can\'t-breathe! H-Help me! I ain\'t gonna mess around no more!"
"Sorry, but no. You will die here, drowning in your own blood, and no one will ever mourn you. Do better in your next life, Carr-san. Sayonara."
"Wai-t! Bleeeech!"
Adam Carr began to vomit blood as he drew to his end. Without a second thought, I left the room as he died a painful death. With my matters concluded, I walked outside, invisible to all.
" So how did they get it?"
While I hid my reaction, I was truly surprised by the information in the envelope. I came here to kill John Smith, but it was strange that everything I needed was already prepared.
The details on the report were simple, it listed John\'s history, relationships and abilities. As someone who had personally fought at his side, even the abilities listed were correct. There were even some I didn\'t know about.
What surprised me was the unique {Kismet} Smith-san had. From three different battle modes to one that allowed me to fly. His tendencies in using his weapons were also described in detail.
"Smith-san, someone is betraying you".
If they are sharing such secrets, I can only assume that a large organization was behind them.
The signature on Haru\'s picture was Trinity\'s. Was Savior working directly with Trinity? I clenched the envelope in my hand as I headed for my next destination.
With all the information on the report, the most worrying things were the humans listed.
[Possible leashes]
[Earl Simmons - Age 54. Civilian. Works as a manager at the Phoenix Rod & Gun Club. Father of two daughters, Alana, age 18, and Bless, age 21. Husband of Noelle Simmons, age 51. Considered a father figure by the target.]
[Caroline Fisher - Age 26. Civilian, works as a secretary for Evans Group Inc. Longtime girlfriend of target, separated after Caroline cheated on target with his best friend, Harry Evans.]
It was a despicable practice in Hellsgate, why bother fighting a reaper when you could overpower a human and blackmail the reaper instead.
Concerned, I went to Basis Phoenix, the school were the youngest, Alana Simmons, attended. When I arrived, I used ninjitsu to climb a nearby vantage point.
I then noticed that a teenage African American girl was being abducted at the back of the school. Three men in masks were hauling her into a black van. Upon closer inspection, numerous security guards were dead along the way.
Not wasting any time, I ran toward them and blocked the van\'s path.
"What the fuck? Is this bitch crazy? Run her over."
"{Gather}, {Carve}."
I drew a katana and used {Gather} to guide my blade through the vehicle\'s weak points. {Carve}, my newest {Fate} improved cutting ability on enemies {Gather} had marked. It made my weapons penetrate deeper on a molecular level.
The van\'s arrival was slow. In my eyes, the world was in slow motion. The van\'s body severed in two as my blade embedded itself while the vehicle passed me. Careful not to cause an explosion, I let the two halves of the vehicle wobble forward before falling to the ground.
The kidnappers who were on their feet had some damage from my attack, but not enough for death. I noticed that none of them had reflections, confirming my suspicions.
I drew shurikens from under my skirt as I declared in a cold voice.
"Reapers will get no mercy from me."
After a brief battle, I covered the bodies and retrieved Alana from a bag. She was blindfolded and gagged. As I removed her restraints, she cried but didn\'t panic.
"Lady, who are you?"
\'Ara, how brave.\' I praised inwardly.
"Hello Alana, I am Aki, a friend of John Smith. Are you alright?"
"I\'m fine, are you Johnny\'s girl? How come I\'ve never heard of you?"
\'Johnny? Smith-san has a nickname? How adorable.\'
Trying to keep a straight face, I replied.
"We just met recently, he sent me here to protect you and your sister. Shall we go get them?"
"..."
Alana was silent, her eyes on the carnage that ensued. Unlike most delusional girls, this young woman was extremely level-headed, even as she trembled from the sight of corpses.
"Okay, Bless is home with a hangover today. Let\'s go, Ill lead the way."
We eventually came a parked car. I broke the window quietly and unlocked the door.
"Lady, that\'s stealing, you know?"
"I\'ll return it later."
"Okay...how did you meet Johnny?"
"We met at work," I lied with a smile.
"You\'re in love with him, aren\'t you?"
"I... Yes, I am indeed."
The young girl smiled brightly as she replied.
"Great! Make sure you make him happy, okay! He\'s a good guy."
"I will try..."
