After Hector walked behind the kitchen door he peeked inside to see if there was anyone present and if someone was there, and where exactly they are located.

In the kitchen, he saw a tall, bald man with tattoos that covered his whole head. By the state of his clothes, he judged him to be a gangster as they were much cleaner than those people outside who woke up every day early in it morning and went to work in back-breaking jobs that would pay them nearly nothing, and not to mention his gun that was sticking from behind his trousers.

Hector saw no one else in the kitchen and so he decided to put away his hammers for now in exchange for the dagger as with it he could be more silent.

While entering the kitchen Hector crouched down so he would be more inconspicuous. When he was in he turned around and thought of closing the kitchen door, but then he wondered if they would make a sound as they looked quite old. Hector decided against the idea as he would simply get rid of the gangster quickly there should be no problem with letting the doors open.

After getting closer to the gangster he could smell something cooking and Hector could not stop himself from congratulating him on being a somewhat competent cook, "Well it looks like you are not the complete waist," But before the gangster could respond Hector's arm had wrapped itself around gangster's mouth, and with his dagger, he stabbed into the gangster's neck severing trachea making him unable to scream for help.

For his ability to cook Hector decided to grant him the mercy of quick death and pulled the gangster's head back and twisted it in a clockwise direction by a hundred and eighty degrees. Breaking his neck in sickening crunching noise which to Hector wasn't unpleasant.

Then he quietly caught the body as it was falling to the ground. After that, he took the body and stashed it behind some furniture and before he exited the kitchen he found a bottle of somewhat decent red wine and took a sip.

When he was about to leave the kitchen he cursed himself for not bringing the crown with him as this was a spur-of-moment situation he left it in the family vault.

"No matter I will just have to do with what I have," Hector whispered to himself as he kneeled down before one of the doors and listened to what was happening inside.

When he heard a snoring noise he quietly opened the door, which to his surprise made no sound. After entering the room Hector looked around himself and saw some kind of shabby sleeping room.

On the left, he could see a desk with basic utilities, from a pen and paper to a toothbrush. 'Quite a space saver.' He thought as he looked at the left side of the room where the bed with a sleeping person was located and next to it stood a big cabinet for clothes Hector thought.

Hector crept to the sleeping man "Rise and shine my dear victim." When he spoke he once again put his hand over the man's mouth, but this time Hector decided to stab the man in the eye giving him a free lobotomy. But then out of his kindness, he twisted the knife and started to scramble his brain.

It was fascinating to see the man's body react even after he was dead, a few of the nerves still firing which made some of his muscles to twitch, "Well, aren't brains and nerves a wonder of nature." He spoke to the now-dead man as he stood up and looked into the cabinet if he could find something long and waterproof, so he could wrap the body and bring it into the kitchen.

Unfortunately, he was unable to find anything that was waterproof, and so he just took the body into his hands and carried it to the kitchen as it was. If someone would see him or the blood that was flowing on the ground he would deal with it at that time.

Hector put the body of the second man next to the body of the first one, when he overlooked them he thought of how many he would pile here or if he even should do it. His idea was to bring them here and then disembowel them, after which he would put their limbs and pieces of the chest into cupboards and shelves so that when they would be found it would be an interesting scene.

Hector then continued to check the rest of the rooms, but all of them were empty until in one he could hear some scribbling sounds, he did not want that man to scream in surprise when he would see him alarming the rest of the people. So Hector decided to return to the kitchen and change into the cook's clothes if he would be able to find any.

Thankfully he was able to find one set of such clothes on the shelf right next to the door. When he changed his clothes he put his original on the table so they would remain relatively clean, except for the blood of course.

Then he went to one of the bodies and cut a piece of meat from their thigh and decided to cook it like a stake. Searing outside and basting it with the butter which he was able to find in the pantry. Unfortunately, there was no black pepper only salt but he was able to find a few rosemary so he was satisfied.

While he waited for the meat to slightly cool off he walked towards the bodies once again cutting off the heart from the one which was previously sleeping.

Hector took a big bite wondering how it would taste now that he was in sequence 8, "Not that good, hopefully, the taste will get better at sequence 6, especially for the ritual." Hector then took the steak and put it on the plate and hid his dagger behind it, then he went to the door in where he could hear scrabbling noise. Hector knocked on the door and when he heard a voice calling him in he opened the door, "Who are you, and what do you want?" a man in his mid-thirties spoke in rugged Leones.

"Good day sir. I'm a new cook and so I have prepared food for you." Hector spoke as pleasantly as he could while smiling at the man.

"New cook? I don't know anything about it" Man spoke slightly apprehensive but as he could smell the food his suspicion had melted visibly.

"Well whatever, they never tell me anything either way." When he finally relented he took the plate into his hands and put it on his desk.

"What do you want?" he spoke when Hector remained standing where he was.

"Nothing much sir, only what do you think of the taste of food," Hector spoke while his smile grew bigger.

The man then took a fork and knife and cut into the meat, when he finally put the piece of steak into his mouth Hector could see him smile as he enjoyed the taste.

Hector thought of killing him now but then he decided that he would let the man finish his food first.

When he was done he went to pick up the plate, but at the last second, he stabbed the man on the side of the head making him unable to react. Hector then chuckled as he dragged the man's body into the kitchen.
