Epilogue to Chapter 25: Resting time and flashback pt.6

But even after Jin left the company, his business was still not finished. He had to go to many places to collect data on Jason and Wang Dong. He went to night clubs, underground fighting arenas, and even actually went to a few information brokers to get some info. But the price he paid each of them was not low. Wang Dong had many backings so Jin had to trick a few people to get information. ‘Not the best of ways to get information. But the only way I know how to get information quick. I can’t wait much longer… I’m going to meet Meracle’s parent and Wang Dong seems to be the biggest problem as of now’

Not only that, Jin went from places to places to get materials he needed. Guns and other arms were not easily gotten in the underworld. The law already banned many weapons and guns were usually hard to get by. But for Jin, he already knew the trade so it was easy deal for him. But what he needed the most is to hide his body. If, by chance, that someone in Meracle’s family could see his scars, they really would scream. But his face as an identity is also a problem. He couldn’t go into the underworld with the Belphegor mask forever. It was like a walking bill board for people to kill him. If someone were to see his true face, then he would really be screwed once someone recognizes him. So he went to the black market to buy a lot of things. “Also need a lot of sleeping gas, stun grenades…” Jin continues to talk to himself.

By the end of the day, which was three o clock in the morning for Jin, he was dead tired. In one of his hands was a huge bag filled with scrap metal he’d gotten from the junk yard. In the other, just like before when he came into Mammon’s place, suitcases numbering in the up to twenty and tied to be dragged. Inside those suitcases were tons of medical materials. Only two of the twenty of suitcases had guns in them and were bullet proof. But the most interesting part was how much Jin had on. It looked like he was ready for war itself.

The only bad part about the entire thing is, Jin was covered in blood. Wearing the Belphegor mask attracted too many people attentions. People were eager to take down anyone with the name Belphegor because Jin was such a legend six years ago. But fame has its own problems so he had to get physically extreme to make people forget. ‘*Ugh* My arms are sore… Can’t beat up another person… Wait… I can… But that is too much work to make them forget… T.T’

“*Sigh* Even I can get tired sometimes... All this for some information that is not worth scrap…” Jin grumpily mutters. “At least I got dirt on Jason.”

The entire time Jin went to find information about Wang Dong, he founded very little. It just goes to show that Wang Dong had strong protections around him. So that was a no go. But the information he had on Jason was very interesting.

Jin walked back to Mammon’s place with the Belphegor mask on.

Now that the news has spread that Belphegor was back, everyone wanted a piece of him. They wanted to see if the rumors were true. They wanted to see Belphegor in the flesh and to test their strengths against him. When they heard that he visits Mammon’s place the most, they began guarding all paths to her place.

They didn’t want to mess with Mammon or anyone in her territory because her strength as an underworld ruler was already confirmed. She was also an important part of the underworld with many supporters. Who would have enough balls to mess with her? The last group of people who did try founded their entire genitals were gone and down their throats by next morning.

“Come on Belphegor. We’re waiting on you” One of the eager challenger quietly said.

But Jin didn’t want to fight anymore. He knew what was waiting for him on every streets and corners. He was already reaching his limit. Jin just wanted to get things over with and to take a long break. But it wasn’t like they gave him a choice. “*Sigh* You guys are like cancer. Always multiplying and can never be rid of… Wait… Cancer can be rid of… But it’s too much work…”

Jin took a stun grenade and threw it to the people who were waiting for him to attract attention. Instantly, police officers swarmed to where the stun grenade flashed. But when the police got there, all they saw were the people who wanted to challenge Jin but not Jin himself there. That day, police officers caught criminals like it was a game of tag.

Mammon watched the whole thing like it was the weekend tv shows. She laughed whenever Jin ran or threw some unknown object. Mostly because she knew that Jin was still going easy on the people.

When Jin finally reaches her restaurant, she warmly greets him. “Mmmm Smell of fresh blood. How many people did you kill Belphegor?”

“…. Not the best way to ask how a person is doing” Jin pouted his lips. His entire body was soaked with blood. Why? Because while he was running and fighting people, one guy got hit by a truck which splattered a lot of blood all over him. But even worse, Jin was being targeted by so many flying bullets that he couldn’t avoid all of them in his already weakened state. Some people even had a chance to stab him.

“Heh… You’re lucky that there isn’t many people who come to deal business here today so we had a lot of free time waiting for you.” Mammon flashed a mischievous grin. But she saw that Jin was not amused. “*Mister grumpy grump only have a little blood and flesh wounds on him and is angry. Ha ha ha”

“A person… just got hit by a truck and his blood splattered all over me. Luckily, he didn’t die. So I’m quite happy Mammon. Not angry even though I just got shot. They were only grazing my skin. So I’m cool and I’m rarely angry.” He said to her.

“Well, since you are looking a little miserable and do need help, you can go into the shower room. Farrah. Lead him there. Also, take his things into the ‘special storage room’ and keep it safe.” Mammon said. “Also, help him with his injuries. He took some unnecessary damages.”

“Yes Sister Mammon. Right this way Master Belphegor.” Farrah answered.

“I said to drop the master thing Farrah. It… makes things weird” Jin tries to tell her.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

“Hum hum hum hum. Maybe if you take me as your wife then I’ll stop calling you it master Belphegor.” Farrah hummed happily.

His face turned green. ‘I think I heard enough about marriage to last me a year or two…’

Farrah brought him into a room that didn’t even look like a shower room. Instead, it looked more like a love hotel with bed and all. There were even some ‘honey lotion’ right on the bed. “The whut? How can she have so many mysterious rooms in one restaurant? How is this even possible? But why not a normal shower room?”

“Mammon likes to have her guests comfortable. Or so she tells me. She also have many other rooms like this. ^.^” Farrah was acting strangely jolly. But it could also be a normal thing because Jin saw her happy all the time. “In here, there are also some first aid kits in case of… guests being rough… Enjoy your stay master Belphegor. I’ll take these into the ‘special storage room’ she arranged for you. You can access it later.”

“Leave these two suitcases alone. I need them for later.” He tells her and Farrah took most of Jin’s stuff and walked off with them and closed the door behind her. Once he saw that Farrah was a good distance away, he went to get the first aid kit to get his wounds cleaned up a little before taking a bath. But that was only a make shift fix for him. ‘I’ll take care of these afterwards…’

Inside one of the suitcases he said to leave behind were masks, fake skins, and a bunch of cosmetics. “I’m practically a clown here… Buying these fake skins costs a lot… Masks costs even more… Especially the ones that looks really convincing.”

In the other suitcase, he had three pens, a roll of string, something that looked like an asthma pump, a belt, eight medium sized bottles containing mysterious liquids and three cologne bottles.  “These will definitely be useful later on.”

Jin checked both suitcases just before closing them to take a shower.

While showering, Jin heard the door being unlocked and thought it was either Farrah. But he found out that he was wrong once he heard a sweet and seductive voice calling out.

“Oh Charlie~ Wanna play?” the high pitched voice said.

‘Oh… the voice is just calling out for Charlie…. Wait a minute… who the hell is Charlie!?’ Jin came to his senses and was about to turn around until he felt two slender hands wrapping around his naked body.

“Mmmm I’ve never noticed that you have such a smooth body before Charlie. You’re almost like a girl” The high pitched voice said as it was about to reach for his junk.

Jin slapped away the hands and turned to the person behind him. To his surprise, the person was already naked. But what shocked Jin the most was that it was not a woman that touched him. The person who touched him was a she-male but it was hard to figure out if the person started out as male or female.

“Excuse me person. I think you have the wrong room.” Jin said in a low and grave voice filled with malice.

This got the person in front of Jin to shrink a little because of Jin’s vengeful tone. “Ah ha… Sorry sir. I thought you were my husband” and the person left.

“Mammon. That was not a funny joke” Jin called out calmly.

“Heh heh… seems like I was caught. Sorry about that Belphegor. Just an innocent joke you know. Don’t have to make a big fuss out of it” Mammon admitted. ‘I feel sorry for the she-male who got her hands smacked… sorry lady…’

Jin walked out of the shower naked. “Ooooooo I didn’t know you were quite cute down there as well” Mammon teased.

“Alright then. Thanks Mammon. I’ll be ready to go in a bit.” Jin wiped down his body and walked over to one of the suitcases to wrap a layer of fake skin with bandages underneath to keep his body looking clean. Jin wrapped multiple layers just to make sure it doesn’t look like he was bleeding. But then he splashed fake blood all over his own body.

“Hm?” Mammon was confused. Jin was clearly wasting precious materials without saying why. But she didn’t want to bother him any further and lets him go after he got redressed.

“I’ll leave these two suitcases with you as well Mammon. Thanks.” He said and left.

“… He didn’t even bother to give me a good bye kiss either! Humph! Waited for him past closing time and all I got was a thanks? He even left some things for me to clean up after him? What the? *Snort*” Mammon snorted angrily. “Still a cold man I see… Humph…”

Jin went back to hear Meracle’s answer and to make the girls angry. But he has yet to tell Meracle and Mirana his agenda because he was scared of how much Mirana knew about him. He didn’t want things to get more complicated with marriages.

All these events happened through-out the time Jin was gone and has led to this point. Now, Jin has two more days until he meets with Meracle’s parents and he already has most of his things prepared. ‘Time to start the final act… *sigh* Meracle’s dad might blow my head off…’

AN: Alright. Since you guys asked for it, I'll change my fronts one last time. The difference will be less noticeable but easier on the eyes.

P.S. I was not trying to be mysterious by writing in different fonts. The different fonts allowed me to tell things in different points of view. Also, it was easier to distinguish instead of saying, "Going to third person point of view: limited" Or "Going first person point of view" or even making the entire chapter one point of view. So look forward to the easy on the eyes fonts.
