Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil
Chapter 369: End Of Revenge
CHAPTER 369: END OF REVENGE
"She sold my mom to what?"
Flashy shook his finger inside his ear.
Gerald frowned. "She said Tessa was in the Hollow Kingdom. I thought she sent her for something else. Didn’t know it would be like this."
"Yes. Tessa was in the basement of this house just after you threw Flashy out. When she heard that her children died because of Flashy or me, she decided to get rid of Tessa. She called someone and two people came and they took Tessa away."
Flashy clenched his jaw.
"How many days has it been?" He asked.
"I don’t know exactly. But it’s definitely more than one week."
"Did Tessa not fight back?" Gerald asked.
"No. She was under Flora’s control and just before the two men took her away, she undid her Ego from Tessa. The poor woman must be confused right now. If she is alive, that is."
"She is alive. My mom can’t die. I won’t let her." Flashy clenched his fists.
Gerald remained silent, thinking over something.
"Our kingdom sends a carriage full of criminals and useless people to the Hollow Kingdom. As the food of the Cannibals. Tessa must have gone in them, right?"
Pablo nodded.
"I see. It’s clear then."
Gerald stretched his neck.
"What?" Flashy asked.
Gerald patted Flashy’s shoulders.
"I will go and bring her here safe and sound."
"What?" Flashy stepped back. "Why would you do that?"
"... Because she is my wife?"
"Right. Wrong question," Flashy corrected himself and then added, "But do you know anything about it? What will you do? How will you find her? Do you have any ideas?"
"I will figure something out. I have lived long enough to know how to solve problems."
Flashy didn’t reply and turned around to face Pablo.
"What do you say, Boss?"
Pablo sighed.
He walked past Flashy and stood in front of Gerald.
"I don’t really care what you do, old man. But Flashy’s mom should stay alive. He has given me his trust and I would try my best to protect his mother. Me and my squad are already going to the Hollow Kingdom for a mission so I will try to find Tessa as well. I just want you to either give up on finding her yourself or don’t come in my way when I am finding her."
"Or.." Gerald added. "We can try to work together."
"We can’t."
"Why?" Flashy and Gerald both asked.
Pablo sighed. "We are not going for a vacation. It’s the Cannibals we are talking about. I will be fine as I have seen worse. But I can’t take care of my squad and you at the same time, old man."
"You don’t need to take care of me, young man. I can handle myself."
"You are only standing right now because of your shadows. All your limbs are broken."
"But I am still standing right?"
"Don’t argue, old man. I could have killed you if I wanted to. How will you handle the Cannibals?"
Gerald smiled. "The Cannibals are not you, Pablo. Just because you manhandled me doesn’t mean everyone can. You are not the only one who has seen things. I have been rolling heads before you were even born."
"So you will come no matter what?"
"Yes. I want to make things right with my wife. I have wronged her. I will follow your lead. Just consider me one of your squad members."
Pablo let out a tired sigh.
"Fine. Welcome aboard. I don’t want to waste time arguing with you. But know this... if you ever reached near death’s door, I will not turn around to save your ass. I will let you die and then the Cannibals can feast on you. Is that clear?"
"Sounds good." Gerald agreed.
Pablo nodded.
"Alright. Now that’s out of the way, let’s eat something. I haven’t eaten anything for a while now."
"Well, yes. Come this way."
Gerald showed the way and made Pablo and Flashy sit on probably a dining table chair.
Flashy sat beside Gerald’s chair and Pablo didn’t mind it.
"Jacob! Bring something to eat here."
Gerald shouted and a man dressed in full white uniform came down from the stairs situated in the dining room.
"He lives just above this room." Gerald said.
Pablo couldn’t care less.
"What would you like to eat, sir?" Jacob asked Gerald.
Gerald turned to Pablo.
"Just say whatever you like. He can make anything."
"I don’t give a fuck. Just make something healthy and light. I don’t have that much time."
"Very well, sir. Give me some time and I will come back." Jacob bowed and left the dining room.
"He will come back soon." Gerald said.
Pablo nodded. "I should have told him."
Flashy frowned. "What are you both talking about?"
No one answered him and the next second, a set of hurried footsteps arrived.
"Sir!" Jacob shouted, panting, his face pale.
"What?" Gerald asked.
"Madam Flora is dead!"
"Yeah. I know. Flashy killed her. You just bring the food."
"Alright, sir. Wait- what the hell?"
Pablo sighed. "Just go and do your work. Unless you want to get ripped too."
"Right. Sorry."
Jacob bowed again and ran towards the kitchen.
He would finish his work fast and go back to his room or probably leave his job too.
Flashy also got to know what Pablo and Gerald were talking about. Jacob did came very soon.
Anyway, the chef prepared the food in just twenty minutes and served it to Pablo, Flashy and Gerald.
He waited for them to finish and after they were done, he went to his room again.
No one asked about him or even cared and they all left the dining room.
They came to the spot where they had killed Flora.
Flashy wanted to ask the next steps but Pablo told him that himself.
"Bring both parts of her body here. In front of me."
Flashy nodded.
He went and picked up both severed parts of Flora, placing them in front of Pablo.
"Now you stand in my place." Pablo said, moving away.
Flashy obliged and did it. Now Flora’s dead body was in front of him.
"Burn it." Pablo said.
Flashy smiled. "I would have done the same, boss."
Pablo nodded.
Flashy took out glory matches and lit two sticks.
Gerald was also there and he also agreed with Pablo.
Flashy stared at the burning sticks and dead Flora and with one last scornful look, he threw the sticks at the woman.
The body instantly caught fire as the three men watched her burning.
Pablo placed his hand on Flashy’s shoulders.
"The rapists are dead, Luther is dead, Royals are dead, your brothers and their mother are dead. The day finally came. For us..."
Heaving a sigh, Pablo remembered what he did for the past couple of days but now he can finally say...
"It’s the End of Revenge."
