Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil
Chapter 368 368: Sold Her
Flora said Flashy's mother Tessa was dead.
But Pablo instantly commented that she was lying.
Naturally, Flora lashed out on Pablo and Pablo said she should be glad that it's Gerald who is questioning her, if it was Pablo, he would have broken her water himself.
Flora could only grit her teeth at that. She still hadn't recovered from the kick on her womb and not to mention the constant anger of Gerald and Flashy reigning on her.
She was tense and most of all, annoyed.
So if Gerald asked one more time about his second wife…
"Where is my Tessa!?"
"She is not in this kingdom anymore, you stinking old man!"
Silence.
Gerald froze.
Flashy's pupils widened.
"What did you say?" He asked.
He walked towards Flora and held her mouth.
"Where did you send my mom?!"
Flashy yelled, his spit sprinkling out from his mouth.
His eyes were red and the man was really holding Flora's mouth with the intention of killing her.
Pablo never saw Flashy angry like that and now that he saw him, he came to know that Flashy wasn't only good for the laughs.
Gerald turned to Pablo.
"Did you know about this?"
Pablo sighed. "I got to know about it today and I wanted you all to hear it from her. You would have felt more shocked if I had shared it."
Gerald gave a slow nod and gazed at Flora again.
"Where did you send her, Flora? Tell me." The old man asked. Not screaming like Flashy.
Flashy also let Flora's mouth free and the woman finally shared the answer:
"I sent her to the Hollow Kingdom."
Gerald's brows shot up.
He turned to Flashy.
"Son," he said.
"Yes, dad." Flashy replied, equally surprised about the reveal.
But he was surprised even more when he heard Gerald's next words:
"Kill her."
Flashy blinked. "What?"
"I said kill her."
"But we have to know more details. When did she send my mom? How did she send her? We have to know all this!"
"Yes. You can't kill me. You need to know everything. You can't kill me, Gerald!" Flora said the same thing as Flashy and Gerald did the same thing as well.
"Kill her, son."
Flashy furrowed his brows. He couldn't understand his dad. The man was talking to him after a long time so he didn't want to refuse him. But his request was logically wrong. You don't kill someone you need answers from.
But what wasn't understood by Flashy was understood by Pablo.
"Do it, Flashy." Pablo said.
Now Flashy really lost it.
"You too, Boss? What is going on? Why are the two of the smartest people I know suddenly become stupid?"
Pablo raised his brow. "Stupid, eh? Someone got guts."
"Ahngh. Not now, boss. Tease me later."
"I am not someone who teases people. Think before speaking."
"Then why should I kill her?"
Pablo sighed.
He looked at Gerald.
"No wonder you called him useless."
Gerald nodded. He placed his hand on Flashy's shoulder.
"Kill her, son. I am asking you because you suffered the most because of her. Otherwise I would have done it long ago. Believe me and kill her."
The hand of his father on his shoulder, Flashy would have given his life to see this day.
And now that it was happening, he won't question anything.
"As you say, dad."
He stopped second guessing and summoned his symbiote once more.
Flora trembled as she saw the look on Flashy's face. His eyes were devoid of any doubts as this time, he was out to kill her.
"So long, step mother."
Flora tried to back away but the symbiote held her chest.
Then another hand grew from it and it grabbed Flora's waist.
Both hands were huge and before Flora could scream or even utter something…
KHRICK!
Both hands of the symbiote ripped Flora apart.
Her body was divided in two parts from the middle.
Blood dripped everywhere and Flashy made the symbiote throw her both parts away.
After that, he called back the symbiote and turned to his father.
"I did as you said, dad."
Gerald nodded. "You have become strong."
"Th-th-thanks."
"But you still have the same brain."
Flashy stopped smiling.
Pablo chuckled.
"That you are right. He was once fighting a cat and lost."
Gerald raised his brows.
"That was way before, dad. Just after the day you threw me out." Flashy clarified.
Gerald's eyes softened.
"I am sorry for throwing you, son. I was an idiot. I should have listened to you. If I did, we would still have your mother and she would still be smiling."
"Yes. Shit. I forgot about mom. How will we find her? How will we know where sh-"
Gerald raised his hand. "Calm down."
Flashy stopped talking and Gerald once again looked at Pablo.
"Your boss here knows everything. He will tell us the situation about your mother."
Pablo smiled.
"Why are you sure about that?"
"I just know. You are way above me in all means. You must have even begun to think of the next steps from here if you really wish well for Flashy."
'I only wish well for myself.'
"Sure. I do wish well for Flashy."
Flashy's eyes lit up.
"Then do you know it, Boss?"
'If I say that I know then my Ego might be compromised. They will ask how do I know all this? This old man must have figured out that I know everything about Flora by how I was catching all her lies.'
"Just tell them. No one thinks that much like you." Cupid shared her thoughts and she was ignored.
"Don't worry, Marshal. You can tell. I won't ask anything that isn't important right now."
Pablo sighed. "I don't like you, old man."
"Help us for now."
"Fine. Yes. I know. I know everything that Flora did to Tessa."
"Then say it, Boss."
"Alright." Pablo clapped his hands. "I will give it to you straight."
Flashy and Gerald paid attention and Pablo said:
"Flora sold her to the Cannibals."
