《Lethal Virtue》Chapter 7:The Hole
Advertisement
Paul and the others stood there on the basement of the house while the nervousness of his companions on him going into that place, that building in Kongo street were there might be or there might be not a clue or a hint of something important that they might expose and the world outside of this hell of a city learns of what devils they have here, yet he seemed relax, no wait, correction, he was calmed on the outside, Paul was a calm looking man that you could see him as a companion and a comprade of yours, he just gave that scenes of "relax, I am here for you", but what might me on the inside of that normal calmed looking man?.
He got ready and got into his Dodge Charger armed with weapons and a mind of steel, he left after saying goodbye to the others and getting on with this wild and savage place of this devilish city, hands on the steering wheel, eyes wide open, breath in an out as calm as the snail, and he was ready for a mission as crazy as none other he encountered before, but of course the visit to the Daggers was difficulty and life-taking, but with Archie by his side he got through with it and they both survived, the same with the undergrounds of the shelter, saving all of those people of probably an imminent death or something worse than that, again with Archie by his side, he was a savior, a man of the many myths that he shall save the one in need, a right and correct man from right to left, but all of that happened and he got through it from the fact that he wasn't alone, there was Archie Brown, his best friend and all time companion, keeping each other sides. But not this time, no, he is alone right now and in a mission to make, he said he could do it, of course with his calm senses and the way he is everyone would agree with him, he is a man that shows he is doing it good and right, to even call him a professional of this is the right word.
Twelve o'clock midnight right when the time of light goes away and darkness fills the upper sky, perfect timing for being not seen yet searching for something he might find or not was well done, he hasn't arrived yet at the place but his hands were trembling, trembling with passion, nervousness showing, fear?, stress?, revealing through his body were they, he was alone on this, he might even die today, those were things that were passing through his mind, dying or not dying did not matter now, a mission is a mission. Pavement on the ground asphalt overall, bridges and lights for him to see while going with his ride, now the place was close now, was he ready?, of course, those reactions of fear and stress will get taken out the moment of decisions, that distress of his will not show and he will do his damn job, but does emotions of his might come out, and brake him in the worse moments, and if that happens it would leave him a scar as huge as a crater of an asteroid and he might never repair from it, hopes up for that to never happen.
Building close no work, everyone going home that's how the Cytro building was right that time, yet there was the last floor, the upper one with lights on. It was the Blood Rejects, as they called themselves by the fact that the injection of treon changed the genes of the blood. Full on very expensive making of a room and a hall where they had their conversation on what to do for the future of the corporation and their life, a pool table and whiskey of the highest and richest quality on the bar hey had there, clean red foam floor and every wall of gold color of richest material, overall a place worth millions on decoration, and then they were there, Vesta and Acantha playing on the table pool, "Come on Acantha five two you seem to be losing harsh girl you can't even keep up" Vesta said, "ha! Shut up with you horse force and that ponytail of yours, five two can change from lose to win real fast Vesta" expressed Acantha while having fun playing, then there was Apollo resting his back on a wall while eating noodles chilling, then there was Atlas on the door of course as the head of security man as he is, but he seemed to have to move because someone had arrived at the entrance of the big room, it was John Miller alone with none of his men, Atlas instantly stepped in front of him "Why are you here?" He asked, "well one of your pals and your big boss got me here, one for inviting me and the other for allowance" Miller said, "Let him in Zeus let him in when I asked, hell he even might become one of us, so now he shall now the setting" said Vesta then Atlas let him in but not without him making a grunt of expression of not liking him, "now that of joining? Never you guys do just weird shit" Miller said, and at last there was Zeus looking straight to the full on lights that were radiant in the hole city as he looked all of it through the massive window he had there in front, what he was thinking about probably would disturb anyone who hears it out, his mind was dark and deep on cold blood of what he would or not would do with all the money and power he had that moment, he basically owned the hole city.

Zeus moves back his body to look at the inside of the room, "well let's start with this" he said, "wait where is Asclepius and Hades?" Asked Vesta while shooting a shot on the pool and winning that match easily while Acantha whispered "damn" silently, "they are both right now doing objetives for the corporation and the other doing what he does best, killing, so that to a side let's start with the news, Morbi died, he was one of us but decided to work for his own and we let him do that because he deserve it, he worked for us and his loyalty shined to Cytro, we don't know by who but probably someone or some people that thing this place is their jungle, the surprising thing is that they really killed him, he was one of us, a Blood Reject, even if he just had the X-treon which is the weakest one of the three he still had amazing capabilities, this people must know how to use weapons, so we have to be aware of them and find them then eliminate them as the rats that they fucking are, so now putting that aside our corporation is as massive as ever while we create more people with the Treon genes and they become Blood Rejects for us, I have bigger plans for the usage of this massively amount of army we have, but we are still small as a hole, we have to keep increasing our injecting in the world as the needle that puts venom in this world as when first decided to be on it. But that's it for now and we shall on continue doing what we do, conquer everything, dismiss." After that they all left the building and walking away from the room when suddenly a call arrived at the phone of Apollo and he answered,"What?! A cop? Why the hell is he there?, he has a ongoing case? Fuck retain him there and don't do nothing till I arrive, do not fucking let him get inside or all of you are fucking dead", Angry face and angry mouth he started walking faster than everyone else to leave the building, "what's wrong honey?" Acantha said,"nothing love is just a little problem I have in my business and I will go fix it right now"Apollo said then he proceeded to leave. "Keep it quiet no alarming" he said, what he had there was basically something that even Cytro and and the City itself knew he would be fucked.
Before that happened Paul arrived and was right at the back door of the building ready to open it quietly making sure no one was there, but a camera caught him, the building looked all abandoned and even not done yet it had a massive amount of cameras inside, Alone and dark in the outside and hidden and avoidable yet had incarnation and people inside of it. Paul entered and he saw the camera, he knew he was in trouble so he acted accordingly to just be the cop and detective that of course he is, a badge and everything, ready to react as a cop would while looking at a place, then man with gloves appeared out of the center of the building that seemed to open and have a pretty wide hole inside of it, one of the man asked politely, "Sir why is you here?" He asked in a really vague accent, "I have just walking through this part of the city for any drugs hide outs, but sir do you live here? I mean is this your property?" Paul said while moving his light around the place, "Ye' sir em this is where we liveh, but you can't... No no you can not be here, property of mr. Apollo, em, let me tell tell you something, Imma call him and then he would explain why you can not be here because this is a private property of him, cop" the man said with those weird moving eyes of his, Paul knew he was drugged then he probably decipher what might be behind the man and into that hole, it was drugs!, one good reason for exposing one of Cytro's main persons, then he decided to get in there and avoid the man so he could take pictures of what was in the hole, he knew he had to wait or make mayhem, one of the two were the answer, one the men there called Apollo hang up, he was coming, Paul knew he needed to take those pictures, the man who told him before all of that now calling himself David had a notorious lip problem that made him talk that way and also from the fact that he was drugged "Em so co..co..cop do you have a thing eh... like a warrant or somethin'? Si..si..sir why are you exactly here for?" David asked, "Well just for casual inspection, that's all, you know securing the city" said Paul, "securing the ci..ci..city? Haha but sir this city is pure hel' with a mess above i..it" said David confused and laughing. While they stood there a call arrived to one of the men there behind David and not letting Paul look into the hole, then he hang up the phone, proceeding to pulling out a glock and aim right on Paul's head, "kill the fake cop!" He screamed, probably Apollo did not care anymore and just wanted to eliminate the rock on his foot. Then for one second Paul's breathing stopped, the pressure of the moment had him right on his toes as the gun was slowly starting to point at him, then as an instinct he had his hand started reaching the gun he had hidden behind his jacket that was one of the berettas he always had everywhere, as soon as he reached his hand the pressure and adrenaline of the moment gained him strength to be as dangerous as a leopard running for his pray, David felt horrified and instantly felt to the ground and curled up when Paul aimed at the other guy and shoot a bullet right up on his skull killing him and downing him on the ground, it was the start of a mayhem.

After that shot everyone that was in the hole and somewhere outside of it got their guns out and started chasing him, but by that time he hid behind one of the covers behind a pile of cement and materials for construction, David still curled up on the ground scared as shit and without moving, two of the men got into the room armed with pistols, and trying to find him, Paul could not run nor hide for a long time or they would find him and murder him right on the spot, that is why he had to fight his way through, pulling out his second Beretta and now in both hands he aimed at them and shoot a bullet on the knee of one them making him fall on the ground and also shooting on the other but this time right on his neck making him bleed out in pain by squirting blood all over the ground and falling, the other man falling on the ground too making Paul had a right time to shoot him on the head as he proceeded to and killing him both, three more men appeared out of the entrance the other were and started blasting to Paul was, he could not stay there he had to move out, what he did was run right onto a side where a door should be and leaving that room while bullets were flying right by his sides, the men followed him but were found by their doom, Paul was right outside waiting for them in the exterior of the wall aiming right they come out and find him, one shot in the leg with one of the Berettas and the next one on the head, then the next one right on the head of the other one that came through that door, the third one seemed smarted because he straight up shot the wall almost missing all of the bullet except one that got through his clothes and pierced on his shoulder but luckily got out, he got hurt and drop to the ground just avoid the others that might got through worse places on him then he shot with the dual berettas to the wall in the ground and did not stopped till he heard a man screaming or grunting in pain, he shot six bullets in total and then reloaded on one of the guns, he got up walk to the entrance and shoot the man right on his body three times till one got on his skull, he had to do this fast so he prepared and got in where the hole was and luckily for him there were no more of them getting in the exterior of the big hole, then he saw that there was an entrance, he got down with the stairs that were in the hole and took small eight steps to the ground level of the inside of the hole and entering the door, and there was the reason of why Apollo was hiding that place from Cytro and The outsiders, Paul got his guns up but still with a wound on his should and got ready to guns' a blazing if he needed to.

To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I have taken inspiration from waaaay tooo many novels that I liked, and while there aren't any specific ones that I based this upon there are a few that I definitely took inspiration from like : the author's POV, chronicles of the heavenly demon [you can probably see where this inspired me ;)], etc.
