《Dark Chronicles》CH 37 Deal with the Devil
Advertisement
I shatter my opponents ice shield with a fireball.There sent flying a few feet in the air then land with a thud.
"There it is ladies and gentlemen the deciding strike delivered by Kaito against Arthur Cold wind it has been a thrilling fight but now it's other so let's give them both a loud round of applause"
The crowd gives a massive round of applause for both me and my opponent, even know the fight was not that exciting for me especially because he used ice magic and i used fire so i had a clear advantage. He did keep saying things about me not being a genius and that Sylvia was wrong i wonder what that was about anyway.
I walk back into the waiting area. I look around and find a free seating area near some second years. I seat down and start eating some kind of meat on a skew except the meat is yellow, but it still taste nice.
I get through my third one, when i feel someone approach me from behind. They are cloaking their presence, but thanks to my training i can still detect them.
I look over at the second years and they're still just enjoying themselves. I look around and see two bulky men walking over to our table. Why do i feel like all this is connected somehow. The second years see the bigger men approaching,all of them break out in a sweat and leave their seats as quickly as possible.
Once there gone the big men each one sits on either side of me as closely as possible. I look straight ahead acting as normal as possible still eating, when i see someone else approaching the table this time from in front of me.
By his looks i would say third year. He is wearing the normal school uniform,but his one has some slight alterations it his gold lining all though it. He has a very nice face even sweet and innocent looking it complements his short blond hair. I'm sure many girls have fallen for him only to get there hearts broken.
I already don't like him.He sits down across from me.
"So we finally meet MR Kaito"
"I don't know you"
"Of course you't know me you only arrived a few months ago, but let me make myself clear i definitely know you"
"Really and why do you know me"
"Simple because your a person with power and i take notice of everyone in here with power"
"Really, like the person who is behind me with a dagger right now"
The guards move in closer to me. The assassin also moved in closer. I'm guessing for the kill, but it would never work there strength is not enough to kill me as long as i have my enchantments on the most they could do is maybe cause some minor cuts, by then i would retaliate.

"So you know test him did you, see know that's why i want you to join me"
"You place an assassin behind me because you want me to work for you. I'm going to give you a piece of advice, most people don't like it when there are assassins placed behind them.
"Yes but you see me and you aren't normal people now are we.
"Do not put me in with you got that"
"Whatever you say. Now then let's get down to business"
"I will not listen to while there is a blade aimed at my back"
"Fair enough"
He waves his hand, the presence quickly disappears.
"Now then is that better better"
"Yes now you can talk"
"A man who get's to the point i like that. Now then here's my dilemma, someone is cheating in the tournaments, and i want you to put an end to it"
"What, Why do you even think there is cheating and why would you even come to me in the first place"
"Just watch one of Evan Ducass's matches and you will understand why i think there is cheating going on. And for why i chose you it's simple you have the skills needed to accomplish this task and after what you did to Diana Goldmage how could i not choose you"
"How do you know about that"
"Who do you think she hired those assassins from, but then those bastards double crossed me by joining that fucking clan. So you can imagine how happy i was when i heard that they were brutally murdered. Then i was even happier when one of my spies saw what happened to Diana and reported it back to me. It didn't take me long to piece everything together.
"So now you blackmailing me"
"No no you're misunderstanding me i am praising you on your marvelous job in fact i am even paying you"
He waves his hand.This time a man fully clad in black assassins clothing appears and hands him a golden card with some print on it.This isn't what shocks me the fact i couldn't even sense that person is what shocks me. Who the fuck are these people.
"Here this is for you"
He hand me the golden card which looks and feels similar to a credit card. I look over the card it only has some simple braille on it.
Card owner: Kaito
Card Amount: 100 gold
"What is this"
"It's called a account card it is a magical device that holds money for someone. You can use it to pay for anything. When the money in decreases or increases it will show on you card that's what the Numbers are for and don't worry about theft i set it too only work for you and you alone."

"So this is my card"
"Yep i made it for you to pay for dealing with Diana and the traitors."
"So you're the one you placed one hundred gold into my card"
"Yes i was"
"Don't you think one hundred gold it a bit much"
"Not in the slightest you killed those traitors and left a brutal message. Plus dealing with a bitch i was couldn't touch because of my position. So i think this much is perfectly fair.And this isn't really much in my line of work so just go ahead and accept it"
He smiles a wolfish grin my way. I feel like i am making a deal with the devil. That face of his does not suit his personality. And what kind of position must he do that he can just throw around one hundred gold.
"Okay so we have talked why you want me investigate this person and told me why you picked my, but i have a question."
"Go right ahead and ask"
"I'm guessing for someone like yourself you have cheated and scammed on many different occasions so why is this time any different.
The big guys on my sides move in closer until they are almost crushing me.
"It's true i am in that line of work and i have done a lot of things killed,stolen,blackmailed,kidnapped and many many other things. I probably would have done the same thing this time if not for a bet i made with a friend but now this person is cheating and screwing the whole bet up so i want you to take care of him for me"
The creepiest thing about that whole sentence was that he smiled through the whole thing never once stopping.
"What do you mean take care of him"
"Anything really i will leave that up to you as long as he doesn't attend tomorrows matches it will be fine with me"
"And what exactly will i be getting out of this"
"Three hundred gold"
Holly shit that's a lot of money just to make this guy's cheating exposed.
"Perfect then you've accepted the job."
"I never said that, i will make that decision after i have seen one of this Evan's fights and if i do think he is cheating i will accept your offer"
"Alright, His next match will be soon. We will both wait and see won't we."
As we wait for this Evan's fight to show up i continue to eat and try to scene any other assassin's presence. I was able to pick up six more all strategically places around the room. It was hard for me to even get a hold on their position, but i still couldn't detect the one who passed the card to,Wait what is his name he never even said it to me.
"Hey what's your name"
"My name Hahahaha. I'm surprised it took you this long to ask. My name is Jacob, Jacob Darkwood."
Darkwood where have i heard that name before.
"Now then ladies and gentlemen We have another amazing fight on our hands.This match will be between Evan Ducass the man who has been able to defeat every opponent with out even fighting.Then we have the lovely Georgia Ploors who can defeat any opponent with her amazing speed.So let's get started.
The girl dashes at her opponent with amazing speed she quickly turns into a blur. I notice something in the corner of the arena shine for a split second. Then the girl stops dead in front of Evan. Her face has turned pale, her eyes are slightly bloodshot.
Even just walked over and pushed her over. And that was how the fight ended.
"See how that was quite suspicious. So going to work for me now"
"Fine i agree it was a little suspicious, but maybe he used some kind of special magic or technique that no one else knows."
"I agree that it's possibility, if it wasn't for the fact that at the last tournament this happened."
Jacob passes me a Crystal similar to the one in the wall.He flows some mana in and it starts to show a projection of Even at the last tournament he is using fire magic trying to form a simple fire ball. He makes it but suddenly it explodes in his face knocking him unconscious. He is bad that's one of the most simple fire magic abilities out there.
"Okay i see your point he was shit bu-"
"Stop trying to convince yourself to not take my offer it's a simple one do one little job for me and get money nothing illegal and if you want after this we can permanently separate. So now what do you say."
He's right for one thing this is a simple job that pays well, but there is another reason i have to do this because if this person continues to cheat it could cause trouble for me or someone else i need to stop it now.
"Fine i accept your offer."
"Great then i trust everything will work out by tomorrow.If you need any help just contact me with your bracelet my contact is already in there. See ya.
The big men and the many assassins left with him. How did he even get his contacts into my bracelet.Damn i think i just met a seriously dangerous person.
Hi everyone sorry about the late release i have been terribly ill this week, so i thought i should at least get one chapter out this week and then get back to my usual schedule next week. Sorry everyone but these things unfortunately happen to us mere mortals .

HEfTY
What if everyone in the world gave you $1? That’s what Hefty, a fat and cocky 14-year-old computer hacker tries to do. He bets on Bitcoin, and becomes a millionaire. Nevertheless, it’s short lived because Hefty is under the beck and call of his BPD mom. Hefty’s mom has leukemia. After seeing his mom’s hospital bill, he goes full tilt on the internet, selling crazy things on the Dark Web, like drones, drugs, and guns. And under his nose, someone’s been watching Hefty. Before he knows it, he’s abducted by ISIS and transported to Syria. ISIS’s chief tech officer was blown apart in an airstrike. All of ISIS’s money freshly minted into Cryptocurrencies. The passcodes in his mind blew up with the airstrike. The King of ISIS, forces Hefty to find the passcodes. At gunpoint, Hefty can’t say no, but tricks the King. The King makes a deal with him: If Hefty gets the money off the server, he gets to keep his life (and 10%). Hefty agrees and sees the amount from his 10%: $1.1 Billion in BTC. Drunk with money, Hefty joins the King and naively agrees to help ISIS, and starts buying everything he’s always wanted. He still misses home though, and after a google search brings up his mom, he throws bread crumbs through the internet. He creates digital trails throughout the back end of sites he hacks so people can find him. Even though his lifestyle is fun and exciting, ISIS starts to look less inspiring. Hefty sees the cruelty of ISIS’s cause and it disillusions him from thinking the Caliphate is noble. After some ISIS friends start dying, Hefty sees that war is dumb. Hefty tells his dying friend, on his last breaths, that he is going to take down ISIS. Mistake. With his last yells, his friend tattles on Hefty. Overnight, he goes from Multimillionaire to POW. The King gives him 2 options: blow up his favorite team on a game day of the Cleveland Browns, or his mother dies. Hefty chooses his mother. Within weeks, Hefty covertly writes software to defeat ISIS, leaving enough breadcrumbs to attract the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Tarvish. Acting quickly, General Tarvish works to find Hefty and uncover the Brown’s Stadium plot. Hefty finds a way to bomb the stadium, using an order that the president enacted putting all combat planes: no matter where over the US, had to be fully loaded and ready for war. Tarvish didn’t plan this into his counter measure. Hefty has set up ambushes against the Caliphate of ISIS… but the joke turns on him when he forgets to delete his code, and his terror attack on Brown’s Stadium goes off. Hefty’s location goes live, and an air campaign against the Caliphate starts. The US President angrily tries to drop a nuclear bomb on Hefty and the Caliphate. Tarvish kills the President before he can order the attack. The King flees by truck into the desert, but brings his cyber weapon: Hefty. Fed up, unafraid, and frankly pissed off, Hefty grows some balls and kills everyone in the car, giving the King his just reward, and careening down a mountain in the process.
