Currently, everyone was heavily breathing with anticipation in the living room. The living room was already rearranged by Jin to be more spacious so that there was enough room to move and for everyone to hear in one single room. The person Jin announced was someone they felt that they knew. They wished that they didn’t know a person named Jason. But there was no stopping it.
The person underneath was indeed Jason! Bumps were very apparent on his head, blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth, his left eye was swollen to the size of a kiwi, puffed cheeks the size of a grapefruit and overall the face looked like he just survived one round with a world championship boxer as a sand bag! There were many people around the world named Jason but this person was the one everyone knew.
“J-J-Jason!?” Meracle almost didn’t recognize him because he was beaten too badly. “Jin! Why did you bring Jason here!?”
“Whoops. Missed one person. Forgot Judge Eric. Let me reveal him as well. *WOOSH*” Jin lightly smiled and said. “Alright. Seems like all the stars have been introduced. Time to retell an old story! Don’t worry! It’s a story everyone will love!” He pulls a chair to sit in the center of the room and took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Alright. The underworld has some real sh*t that goes on. It sometimes hides in the shadows. It sometimes reveals itself in plain sight. In any case, as some of you may know, the Cross family is very religious. They are, sorry, were overly dedicated about religion. Personally, I like that fact because it shows that they have a lot of morals. But, the family slowly fell apart and the reason behind it was unknown. Until now.
About eight years ago, the twin unholy traitors, Francis and Drake, were at already corrupted and was near the height of their little game of NTR. They’d already broken many families, taken many of their daughters and wives using normal methods, aphrodisiacs, threats, rape, etc. At some point, they got bored of NTRing random families with normal methods. At some point, Francis started to talk about NTRing their friends. But the one who really came up with how to NTR their friends was Drake.
Now, the very first friend they tested it out was one of their best friends. Gerald Skyler. They also had a challenge to break his wife in a short time. So, in the moment of wickedness, they changed from using normal drugs to using a very confidential drug that was developed by the military called IED-14.”
Blake’s and his two friends’ eyes widen when Jin mentioned IED-14. The IED-14 drug was indeed confidential because not even most military generals in the army would know about. The government developed the drug as a last resort to extract information from war prisoners and traitors in order to help end war quicker. But for the past half century, there were only minor wars and it was rarely used. The cost to produce one was astronomical because it had to be manufactured with specific conditions, precise timing, and extremely rare herbs and in a secluded location so that the drug can come out perfectly without any interruption.
“H-Hold up! How do you know about that drug!? Only a handful of the government’s military generals know about it. Why do you know about that drug!? Meracle! Why does your boyfriend know this?” Meracle’s father was one of the few who knew. There was only five other generals who also knew of the IED-14 drug.
Francis, being one of them, had sweat pouring down his back. “Hey! Y-You’re exposing military intelligence! That’s treason!”
“Boy. If you know what is good for you, you better shut up!” Drake was the third person to know about the drug. In order to try to save his own life, he threatened to the best of his abilities.
Jin ignored the three and continued on his explanation. “The IED-14 drug proved to be strong and effective. It cracked the woman down in one month. There was nothing left within the woman. She followed the commands of the two unholy bastards like a robot. But because it was too strong and effective, the side effects were that much stronger. The wife began to feel the side effects of the drug a month later, turned insane and she took her own life.”
“What!? Francis! Drake! You guys told me that she took too much heroin and died! Wait… Our friend…. Gerald’s death… it wasn’t by suicide either was it?”
“Oh ho ho Mister Cross that was a lie. That’s not all. When the husband found out, he tried to kill both of them only to end up as a broken toy as well. They took all of his children, sold them off and made it look like he suicided but incinerated both the wife and the husband’s body. Truly tragic. But let’s move on from that subject and continue on with our story.
They covered up the story and all that with bribes to the media, government officials, and such and such. But because they felt that the drug was too powerful, they wanted a drug that was less potent with little side effects. Some of the government officials also wanted the same thing. Thus they launched a secret project called ‘project Flower’ to make another drug with weaker instantaneous effects but longer permanent effects. After a year, the government finally was able to achieve their goal and created the drug ‘AX309’ that was also abled to be mass produced a year later. Much more efficient, cheaper, and in the long run, stronger with more profit. The first victim…" Jin started to tell how many friends Francis and Drake betrayed. He retold how they destroyed the families. How some of the enslaved families were kept in a secret room as personal slaves. Then, when it got to Meracle’s family… “You, mister Cross/Blake, was the last of their friends and their biggest obstacle. The thrill, rush, and corrupted feeling only made their convictions stronger.”
Blake and the rest of the Cross family didn’t want to listen. Especially Blake. What Jin was telling was not only confidential military intelligence, he was also exposing Meracle and her entire family to a whole new world of darkness.
Jin’s unending rambles continue to enter their ears. “But, what they did not expect to happen. An unknown factor came into their plans. The underworld was unexpectedly crippled by a mysterious person in just a matter of months. The factories that mass produced the drug were destroyed all within a week on a national level scale. Meaning, the new drugs the church used cannot be used any more. Lucky for Francis and Drake, they already broke your wife. But they could not get her away from you. So they devised a plan to turn you into a useless person mister Cross.”
Jin was waiting for Blake to say something. It was unexpected that Blake didn’t even ask how which made Jin a little puzzled. “Have you, Blake Cross, ever wondered why? Why would a person, who was raised with a lot of morals, have the thought of selling their own daughter? Why a person would suddenly have the foolish thought of buying a gun as a windfall? Why would Blake Cross even think of buying such a sh*tty item at such a high price?”
“Because I was stupid…” Meracle’s father muttered in a low voice.
“*Bzzt* Wrong. Well, half wrong.”
Blake’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean by that?”
Jin pulls out a small clear vial and said, “I mean they drugged you as well. A drug similar to ruffies and the IED drug but a weaker version. This vial here is what the drug looks like. Simply dilute it four times and feed it to the person once a week and the victim will fall prey to any suggestions you make by the end of the month. You can slip this drug in water, alcohol, or any forms of drinks as long as the victim doesn’t notice the change in smell and taste.”
“W-Wait… six years ago, they brought me to drink every weekend… I went out once a week… and they always ordered the strongest alcohol for me to drink… Th-then that means!!!”
Jin nodded because Meracle’s father was catching onto everything now. “That’s correct mister Cross. Because alcohol have a strong taste to it and they ordered the strongest one, you could not feel that the taste change or how it smells differently. What you drank six years ago was 190 proof alcohol with this drug called ‘The Devil’s Whisper’ and it went straight to your brain. The ‘Devil’s Whisper’ slowly makes you lose your sense of reason, induce short term memory loss, increase in aggressiveness, more gullible aka brainwashed and many other side effects that I will not name because it will take too much time. BUT. This is where the real story starts.”
Francis racked his brain to find any way to save what little face he could and finally thought of something. “Wait a minute! Sure we had sex with Leah. Even if all the proof you said was true. You don’t have proof that we brainwashed our-”
“AH! There we go! Just the word I wanted to hear! Proof! Well now, here is your proof!” Jin pulled out a set of needles for acupuncture. “Listen and listen well. I’ll make you say everything!”
“W-What are you going to do to me!?”
“Nothing Francis. Just… showing what happens when strike three really hits for you guys. This is what you would expect from a doctor who works in the underworld.” Jin evilly grinned. Jin gripped the guy’s head and put a lot of force upon the man’s skull.
Francis squirmed and squirmed in pain and yelled, “Heeeeeeeeelp!! Heeeeeelp!!! I’m sorry Blake! I’m sorry! Please! Please! Don’t let him-”
Though he didn’t like Jin much, he needed to know everything. “Too late.” The father without said remorse as he watch the devil place the needles into Francis’ head one by one. When it was all done, Francis’ body turned lifeless like a zombie.
“Now Francis. Tell us what happened six years ago. Everything about your plan to take Blake’s wife and how you wanted to ruin him.” Jin whispers into the guy’s ear.
Just like a robot, Francis confirmed everything Jin had said. From how they became the twin holy brothers to breaking Leah. Then, it got to the plan on making Blake a useless father. “Like you said. Our plan was to ruin Blake.”
“No! Don’t tell him everything Francis!” Drake shouted. No matter how hard he tried to tell him to stop, the possessed man did not listen.
“We used his love for guns and the drug as a mean to hypnotize him. The drug ‘Devil’s Whisper’ makes the one being drugged more vulnerable to suggestions. We slowly made his worries grow saying ‘what if the depression hits your family next? How will you support them?’ and many more words similar to that. We inserted doubts. Doubts about Blake’s abilities in raising his own family. Everything went as planned until they day the debt arrived.” Francis said.
“Oh? What happened? What didn’t go right? Tell us Francis~” Jin was still acting casual but on the inside he was nervous.
“We had the debt collectors forge a fake contract, no, more like edit so that the amount Blake had to pay was many times more. But on that day… instead of Blake paying the debt, the debt collectors turned to us and demanded we hand things over. They took everything we owned and the two of us became broke in one night. Later, we found out that the underworld’s networks and many other things suddenly collapsed and had to gather every resource they could to repair the networks. We were forced to live in the church for a while. Frustrated, we decided to take it all out on Leah. At one point, we ordered her to move in with us to be our permanent slave. But she didn’t. Not only that, our control over Leah was also slipping and we were forced to use normal drugs. But no matter what we did, nothing could break her even though she was already broken. The extreme sex we had, we could no longer coerce her into doing it and had to stay with the normal orgies. We hated that our perfect records were stained because of that one woman. So we hired a few people to go after Blake’s daughters a few years later. The first person we hired was Jason. It was unexpected that Blake’s daughter, Meracle, broke up with him after Blake went on the business affairs. So then we hired Darius to go after Ophelia. We intended to threaten Leah with her daughter. But only a few days ago, she stop attending to the church’s inner circles because she was worried for the daughter she kicked out. When we tried to force her to attend, she broke my left ball and Drake’s third leg.” Francis spoke.
“AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!” Jin laughed out loud. “Oh man… that was a good laugh. But your expression is going to be much better after this.” He undid the needles and Francis’ face ashen as if he lost all life. The fear was real. There was no secrets to be kept. There was no point in keeping secrets in front of him.
Drake watched the entire process and his eyes turned wide with shock. His face became white as a piece of paper when Jin turned his way. “P-Please sir! I’ll do anything you want. J-Just let me go.”
He didn’t let him go. Jin also inserted the needles into Drake’s head like he did Francis and made him retell everything. The story matched up as well as the events. When it was over, Jin removed the needles and took out two more small vials along with two syringes. “This here is poison. In about…. The two of you will die.”
“W-wait! D-Don’t! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!”
Two soundless needles shot straight towards their necks and the drug quickly flowed into the blood streams. The two, Francis and Drake fell into a deep sleep not knowing that what Jin gave wasn’t poison but anesthesia.
A coldness flashed in Jin’s eyes as he punches the nun, the head of the church, the funders, and the judge to sleep. “You six aren’t needed as well! By the way. The judge was responsible for telling the police to not get involve with the case. The nun… you already know but to add an addition fact, she was the church’s prostitute to drawn in non-believers. The head was a horny old man and the funders are the ones who bribed the judges and polices to stop the investigations with their dirty money. I don’t have enough poisons to kill all of you bastads. But I do have this.*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*WHAM*” In fact, the nun was hit the hardest just to save her from pain if she was still awake after a good hit to the face. ‘… The last time I had to hit a girl this hard, it was because the one who was Beelzebub was a woman… she looked like a man…. *Sigh*’ Jin felt like garbage when he hits women but all he could do was suck up the bad feeling. “Next issue! Jason, Darius’ boss and Darius himself. This time. I’ll let Darius explain.”
“*SNORT* What makes you think I’m going to say anything? You might as well kill me. Ha ha!”
Jin sarcastically laughs. “haha… If you don’t Darry boy, I’ll give you the same medicine to extract information and maybe a bit more.”
“Go ahead! I don’t care! I’ve been treated like garbage all my life! This one makes no difference!” Darius puts on the air of a hero resisting the forces of evil.
‘…… Idiot… let me show you what happens to those who keeps such idiocy for their own…. Agh…. Can’t say enough for this guy…’ Jin whips out his phone and called a number. He puts the phone on speaker for everyone to hear.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!” the voice from the phone cried out in pain. Darius’ heart shook because he recognized the voice. “Y-You could be faking the voice.”
“N-No! Not there! Not there!!!!!!” another recognizable voice came out. Soon, multiple cries could be heard from the phone.
Darius’ boss could also recognize those voices. They were Darius brothers. “You dirty asshole! How could you threaten Darius using his brothers!?”
“Hahaha… a dirty asshole huh? Funny. Your asshole might not be any cleaner” Jin continues to act uncaring while leaving the phone on speaker.
“Boss. What do you want us to do with them? Bury them alive? Chop them up? Your call.” A grave voice asked Jin. Torturous sounds continues to come from the phone. Bones being cracked one by one, flesh searing screams, and soul wailing cries beyond what anyone could believe to hear.
“You heard em Darry boy. Your call.”
Darius grinded his teeth because he was frustrated. “I-I’ll tell you.”
Jin whispers in the phone and closed it. “Tell us Darius. Everything you know. If you don’t then it is fine by me. I’ll get to the edge of extremity if you don’t tell.”
The lives of his brothers hung in the balance. Not that it was a hard choice to tell the truth. He was only worried that Jin wouldn’t keep his promise. Mainly because he broke his promise with Jin not too long ago. “*sigh* Jason was an old friend we had a few years back working with us. But quit a few months later! He is still in the business because he said he loved the job”
“When did you know him?”
“Four years ago.”
“You sure?”
“… Four and a half to be exact. Alright!?”
Jin’s brows furrowed. “Don’t take that annoyed tone with me!”
Jin was about to re-dial until Darius spewed out information like a broken dam. “He was simply too popular with the women so it was easy for him to do seduce girls! His acting is also top notch!”
An evil smile ran across Jin’s face. “There we go. Now, what was his job before he quit Darius?”
“Making girls fall in love with him and then drug them! Afterwards, he would bring them to our place to break them and ship them off to slave centers!”
“How did he drug them Darry boy?”
“Through alcohol or injection! He would slip a drug in their drinks. The full name of the drug, AX309, is AX309-CAASNE. He would slip only one grams of AX309-CAASNE but in a diluted aphrodisiac form! This type of drug is usually used in slave centers to train new slaves as well as old ones!”
“Oh? But I thought the factories were destroyed. Why is it still existing? Why is there an aphrodisiac form?”
Darius bit the bottom of his lip and looks towards his boss.
The boss, finally understanding half the situation roared, “Darius! Don’t you dare tell him anymore information! If you do, I won’t go after your brothers!”
Hearing this, Darius hesitated because he cared for his brothers. Who wouldn’t naturally care for their family members if they were threatened?
But Jin shook his head in disapproval and sighed. He strolled over to Darius’ boss and squatted to glare at the man.
“What! I’m not scared of you. If you are a man. Fight like-”
*Wham!* An uppercut so fast and strong struck the boss’ jaws and he soundlessly fell asleep. “Now, anyone else who dares to interfere, I’ll make sure they’ll be sleeping for eternity. Let me say this to be clear Darius. Your brothers… They will not be harmed as long as you give me what I want. For letting your boss cut in and hesitating, that is already two strikes. Oh and, I can fight like a man. Just don’t make me. Now Darius! Hurry up before I get really angry! *CRACK*CRACK*”
Darius hurriedly yell out the rest of the information. “After the factories were destroyed, my boss created an underground lab to reproduce the AX309 drugs! He successfully reproduced them a few years later and we sold them like hot cakes. AX309-CAASNE was an aphrodisiac to begin with. People may not know this, but AX309 has two forms. One is aphrodisiac which is what people usually want. So when people order for some, we give them the aphrodisiac one. But the other form is the AX309-DEV and is the ‘Devil’s whisper’. They are one and the same. But because we want to make more money, we labeled them differently and only sold them to the specific forms to only those who knew. The drug is now more common because a few years ago, a strong organization found out that we created the drugs and bought it. From then on, the drug became more known all the way up to this day.”
“Elaborate on the AX309 drug Darius. The aphrodisiac one.”
“… The AX309 aphrodisiac form was originally created at 50 grams. But, if a person takes all 50 grams or even 10 grams at once, they will turn insane and die. Same as the original IED drug. To lessen the effect, we needed to dilute it fifty times. All we have to do is feed it to a person once a month, seven times a year, and that person would definitely break. The drug guarantees that after 3 months, the victim will like the feeling of being raped or degraded. After 5 months, they will lose their reasons. After 7 months, the person would completely corrupted. This was also how we sold the drug. In its diluted form to make more profit.”

Blake heard this and felt somewhat relieved. ‘She actually held on for that long…’
“Yeah yeah yeah. Moving on… Let’s continue to talk about Jason.” Jin continues with the asshole act. “Jason. What was it that you were trying to say to Meracle that day? With the whole apology act?”
“*snort* That was no act. I really do love her.”
While laughing, Jin walked over to Meracle and stared directly into her eyes. “Hahaha… love is it? Then, Meracle. Do you still love Jason? Even after he broke your heart to run off with some tramp?”
Meracle didn’t like the way Jin acted. In her moment of anger, she answered, “… More than I love you.” When she said it, there was a sharp need-like pain that shot through her heart.
‘Meracle…’ Not only Meracle, Jin felt like his heart has been shattered. Her words hurted him more than he’d thought. But this is what Jin had to accept. “Ah ha… ha ha ha ha! Well then! Let me test that love!”
Jin pulls out a book about five hundred pages thick from his duffle bag. “This here is a record. A record of the number of people who Jason had sold over the past. Do you still love him?” The book was extremely thick. Inside were records of the loves he’d sold and even some he kidnapped.
The pain within her heart grew sharper and sharper for an unknown reason as it did for him. She dared not to answer the question because she knew she no longer love the man. When she lied, the pain only gotten worse.
“Meracle…” tear drops formed on the corner of Jason’s eyes.
Veins could be seen popping up on Jin’s forehead. He pulls out a gun and aimed Jason’s head. “Do you love him still!? I’ve grown tired of this stupid loyalty of yours Meracle! I’ll give you to the count of five! By five, you will decide. Who do you want to save!? Your family that abandoned you!? Or this scum!? ONE!*CLICK*”
“Meracle… Whatever you do, I won’t blame you. But choose your family.” Jason sorrowfully said.
“TWO!”
“I-I’ve been… really unfaithful to you. I’m really sorry for that. If… I…”
*WHAM!* “THREE! NOW SHUT UP JASON OR I WILL FIRE!”
“C-Choose your family… Hurry…” Jason urged.
Meracle had a hard time to decide. Jason’s words caused Meracle to rethink things through.
“FOUR!”
“I-I!!!!”
“FIVE!” Jin bellowed out loudly and pulled the trigger. *Squirt*Squirt* The only thing that came out of the gun was a small trickle of water. “AHAHAHAHA Gotcha!”
Everyone stared in shock. Jin played their feelings like a fiddle and laughed in their faces. There was no words to describe the fury within their hearts.
But just as they were to burst into an uproar of rage, Jin pulled out a knife and stabbed Meracle’s body. “Stupid woman I’ve grown tired of the stupidity.” He whispers in a low voice and Meracle’s body became stone-like. Her eyes widen at the bleeding stream that slowly oozed red liquid. Meracle’s body bent forward and froze in place.
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! M-MERAAAACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Her family cried out. The father and mother strangely was able to move a bit, trying to squirm over to Meracle on their sides. In unison, the two moved like worms to get over to their lifeless daughter. Jin didn’t stop them and allowed to get near Meracle.
Jason looked at the seemingly lifeless Meracle. For a while, he didn’t say anything. His swollen face trembled a bit and his eyes became extremely wet.
“You bastard! I thought you said you loved my daughter!” the father shouted. He and the mother struggled in their bindings but couldn’t get free. The desires to kill Jin grew stronger and stronger within the family.
In that moment, Jason’s trembling face turned into an obscene evil laugh with tears of joy. “AHAHAHAHAHA Stupid b*tch! You got what you deserved! AHAHAHAHAHA!”
This made almost everyone narrow their eyes in shock on Jason. The only people who didn’t looked shocked was Jin and Darius.
“How could you act this way!? That was Meracle! How could you laugh in her face!? You are near the point of death and you still want to laugh?” Ophelia couldn’t believe the change in attitude Jason took.
Jason snickered slightly. “So what! I laugh because I could still laugh. What’s wrong with laughing!? I’m laughing because Meracle still believed my good guy act even after all this time! That dumb wh*re got what was coming for her. Also, everyone of us is going to die tonight. Why keep the act up!? Ha!”
“Don’t get to emotional Ophelia. This is who Jason is. This is who he really been the entire time. No, his entire life time. He doesn’t care if those close to him die. He even sold his family.” Darius spoke out. “He is probably accused of many other crimes as well.”
“Pfft As if you were any better Darius. You killed your parents for being drug addicts and child abusers. Who knows how many other terrible deeds you’ve done compared to me. How are you any better than me!? As I see it, you are just as bad as me.” Jason retorted. “Just like me, you drugged Ophelia when the two of you had sex right?”
“*Che* Don’t compare me to you. I didn’t drug my girl while she was a virgin just so that she would not forget about me. In fact, I used a lower dosage.” Darius snorted angrily.
“Y-You drugged me!? You drugged Meracle when she was still a virgin just so she can’t forget about you!?” Ophelia was appalled. Never would she think that she was drugged.
“So what. I used the drug on you in lower dosage and only for about two months or so. Jason used it on Meralce for four months.” Darius mumbled.
Jin, ignoring the two partners in crime bickering and the OFI, went over to the father. “I’ll make this quick work because I don’t have much time left. Blake. Do you love your daughter OFI more or do you love your wife more? A cheating sl*t? Or….. the other one that is just plain dumb when it comes to love?”
“Huh!? How could your face no change one bit after killing my daughter!? Now you want me to choose in order to kill one more? Y-You don’t have a soul!”
Jin made a cynical uncaring face. “*Meh* Life goes on. You’ve got a few more daughters anyway. Oh wait… they’re not here. Oops. HAHAHAHA” He then playfully juggles the knife in the air watching the father’s expression carefully. “Come on Blake. It’s not hard. Just let go of the one you hate the most~ That’s all you have to do~”
The father looked at both his daughters and then his wife. He was thinking that if he was forced to choose, he wouldn’t be able to make a choice. But because there were only two people he could protect left, he didn’t want to lose either of them. He already lost too much.
“Well? What’s the answer Blake~? Don’t make me choose for you~”
In all of Blake’s years as general in the military, he’d never felt so angry. “LIKE HELL I WILL! I WON’T CHOOSE! I WON’T LET YOU KILL THEM. If you kill both of them, then I’ll make sure I’ll suicide along with you and bring the both of us down to hell!”
Jin thought for a bit and smiled. He bent down and neared towards Ophelia. The closer he got to Ophelia, the more scared she became. “Fine then. Say good bye to the both of them. *Stab*”
Ophelia’s eyes wen wide with disbelief. Just like Meracle, her body curled forward and became motionless.
“Now~ I think it’s best to kill Blakey because he said he will suicide with me~” Jin happily hummed and readied the bloody weapon. “Good-bye~”
Raising the weapon high in the air with the tip of the blade pointing downward, Jin brought the knife crashing down aiming at Blake’s right shoulder.
Blake also prepared himself as well. There was no escaping the dagger. If he did, the person Jin would hurt was him but Leah. Blake could see it in Jin’s eyes. If he’d tried to avoid it even by a little, the blade would change trajectory in mid-air and kill Leah. His one and only wife. ‘I-I’m sorry Leah…’
The knife was only a feet away from his shoulder. Like lightning, the silver flashes towards the arteries with high precision. Blake closes his eyes instinctively to mentally prepare himself for death. *Drip*Drip*
But he didn’t die. Streams of rubies flowed downward, staining the floor beneath him.
‘Huh? I-I’m not dead?’ Blake open his eyes and saw that the shining streams of red that dripped off the blade didn’t belong to him. In fact, Blake saw that he was no longer facing Jin, but the floor. He felt a heavy weight pressing against his back, sinking his face even further to the ground. “L-Leah!?”
On top of Blake was no doubt Leah. Just then, Leah used whatever strength she had to roll herself on top of Blake’s body. “*Cough*Cough* T-This is enough right? You only want us right? J-just let Blake go. *Cough*Cough* Please. I’ve hurt him too much. Let me pay for our sins.*Cough*Cough*”
“Leah!? W-Why didn’t you roll us away!? Why!? Why!? Why!?” Blake’s voice furiously trembled.
Jin retracted the knife and wiped away the blood. “She didn’t roll away because she was considering your life. As the last wifey act she could perform, she chose to hope to bargain your life with her own. Isn’t that touching? Ha ha”
“Ngh!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Blake cried loudly. “Why am I so useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“It’s fine Blake. Don’t cry… *cough*cough* Maybe… If I had told you earlier, none of this would happen. If I stopped attending the inner circles and wallowing in my dark pleasures… I could’ve prevented all this… *cough*cough*” Leah regretfully said. “Maybe dying this way isn’t bad at all. But to answer you now Blake. I didn’t leave for one reason only. I still loved you from the bottom of my heart. With this, I’ve proven that I still loved you. *Cough*Cough*” using the last of her strength, she spoke out the words of love she couldn’t have spoken before. The reason why she stayed. The reason why she sacrificed herself for Blake. Leah smiled at the ceiling thinking, ‘At last… I’ve told him before I regret my life any further…’ before her breath stopped.
Blake screamed in pain. It wasn’t physical pain that hurted him to make him scream. It was the pain of losing the ones closest to him that made him scream. He wanted to say something but nothing could come out. His choked on his words and blubbered like a child. “Le- *hic* Ah…. *hic* Le- *hic* ah…. *hic* Mer… *hic* ah *hic* cle* O- *hic* phe- *hic* le *hic* aaaaaaah…. *hic* I-I I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. *hic*hic* I’m sorry Meracle… *hic*”
Jin watched the crying man with eyes of pity. “Hm… So you did love all three of them didn’t you? Especially Meralce…”
Jin’s words lit the fire of vengeance in Blake’s eyes. “Of course I did! I swear Jin. If you do spare me today, I’ll come back to get my vengeance on-”
*Stab*
“Good. Then come after me. I’ll see you in hell Blake. You’ll be re-uniting with your family soon.” Jin coldly said. “Sweet dreams.”
Just like that, Blake also fell lifeless. There was no other way to describe it. In the eyes of the audience, it looked like Jin murdered the entire family in cold blood while toying with their feelings.
“AHAHAHAHA! As expected of you! You’re one of us! Cunning, vile, twisted, and dark. Tell me, how many people did you kill? How many lives have you destroyed!? Must’ve been over the hundreds right!? Wait! Don’t tell me! It’s over a thousand right!?” Jason evilly grins.
Jin sighed and looked down at the bloodstained blade and then over to Darius. Jin puts away the bloody knife and pulled out a pair of sharp scissor. *Cut* “I’m one to keep my promise. Go. Your brothers are safe.”
“… Honest business huh?” Darius said in a low voice.
“As honest as it gets.” Jin shrugged before knocking Darius out. *WHAM!*
“Y-You bast- *cough*”
Jin pulls out his phone to dial the number to Darius brothers. “It’s done. Let the guys go and get ready to get the real work done.”
“!!! Real work!? You mean this was just-!?” Jason’s face twitched violently in fear.
Now that Jason spoke up, I caught Jin’s attention. “Ah… Right. Almost forgot you. *WHAM!*”
“Finally. I can get rid of this shitty act…” Jin mumbled and opened the door. The very first thing that came through the door were Darius brothers. “Good job on the acting. I’ll keep the end of my bargain with you guys as well. Here.” Jin pulls out a few stacks of cash and handed it them. “This here is about five million. Use I however you please. Sorry I had to get rough with your brother Darius here.”
“O-Oh no sir. Please. I’m sure this is what Darius wanted as well. We’ll leave now” The red haired man respectfully said. The other three carried Darius out safely at high speed.
“Wait… One more thing.” Jin’s words stopped the red haired man before he left. Jin pulls out five air plane tickets and a few bills. “Here’s something extra. Darius’ hospital bills and flight tickets. Leave and don’t return. Make new identities, find someone good to marry and live good lives alright guys? Don’t make me hunt you five down.”
The red haired man started awkwardly at Jin for a moment. “Are you sure you are B-”
“*Hiss* Go before I change my mind!” Jin commanded.
“Y-Yes sir!” the red haired man scurries away with a slight smile on his face. ‘Phew… So he really does do honest business… Now we don’t have to do these shitty jobs anymore.’
Aria then came in with a bright smile on her face. “Ready? Prosecutor Sloth?”
“… Just make sure everything goes smoothly. I’ve done half the things needed to be done. Now it’s your turn to conduct the last part of the orchestra for the Cross family. Bring them to the happy ending to this shitty story for everyone’s sake. Can I trust you with this?” Jin asked in a flat tone while stretching his aching body.
“… Oh alright. That was some acting. But I’ve got to ask you Jin, which Belphegor are you? There are those who claim the name for different titles. One is a police man, another is a doctor, a few more are scientists, many are bankers, and etc.” Aria asked with a devious smile.
“… Some things should be left alone Aria. See you and Meracle’s family…. Well… Let’s not hope that we will see each other in the near future. I’m already tired.” Jin groaned and pulled out a few vials.
“Hm? Oh that’s right. I’ve been wondering. Was that knife fake?” Aria asked.
“*Snort* Of course it was. It’s a fake knife that retracts when stabbing someone. The tip is just a needle and the hilt is container full of numbing or sleeping medicine. Depending on which button I press. Both medicine fakes death.” He popped the vials into Ophelia’s, Meracle’s, Blake’s and Leah’s mouth; letting them drink different liquids. He then tossed Aria a piece of paper before dragging the ten people out the door.
“Oh? So… Everyone can hear everything?” Aria’s eyes lit up.
Jin lowered his voice and stretched his neck 360. “They can still hear it now Aria… which is why I am speaking in a low voice… Meracle was numbed no doubt could hear me and finally learned of Jason’s true side hopefully. She'll be asleep soon. OFI? I put her to sleep. Meracle’s mother? Just numbed like Meracle and soon to be asleep. Blake? Asleep. I’ve given them the antidotes to the drugs they’ve been under the influence for the past few years. It will purge their entire system of the drugs such as the Devil’s whisper antidote, the AX309 antidote and I think there are a few more drugs in Leah’s body but it will still be purged. They’ll barf, urinate and sh*t it out depending how long it is in their body and which medicine it was in their body. I also gave them medicines that won’ counter the purging medicine so that their body will recover faster. Don’t let them watch TV for the next few days. Do some things as a family. Bring them to the following good places I wrote down to spend time together if you can. If you need money, I can provide. If you spend money, I’ll repay it double. Supervise their activities and ensure that the entire family gets back together in a positive manner. I apologize if I was rough with them and tell them that I am very sorry. Again. Sorry for being rough.” Jin took out a few more vials. “This will help them heal their skins faster, recover faster, side effects include in looking younger and feeling a lot healthier. Give it to them one table spoon three times a day. You don’t have to be suspicious of this drug. This is something I made myself to help me recover faster. I’ll be going now.” He drags the ten people away into the distance with his back slowly disappearing.
Aria stared at the items in her hands. “Aye… Aye…. This Belphegor….. Terrorizing a family just to get the truth out. Then giving me plans to help the family bond better? Wait… these are the dew of ‘lyfe’. The cost of these are astronomical!!! …. You are too much.… Some ruler you are… too nice…” Aria mockingly said. “This is actually one hell of a detailed plan… How long did he think this plan up? Does he actually think this will work? …. Let’s try it out… I mean, how well can this turn out? Might as well give it a shot.”
While walking, Jin called out to Ban. 'Hey Ban. Was it the case? Was it a false religion?'
Ban appeared in front of him and nodded. 'Yeah... but how did you know?'
'... hunch. Just a pure hunch... I mean, you can't regrow a damn arm that fast. One ell of a thing that threw me off guard. The person behind this false religion... how was he handled?' Jin asked him.
'Him? Uh... dead?' Ban shrugged.
'... That's good. I don't want anymore people dead or families broken.' Jin sighed in relief.
'... Hey... What are you going to do now Jin? Rather, Prosecutor Sloth?' Ban asked out of the blue. Other humans were not his concerns. But what Jin was about to do got him curious.
Seeing that Ban was curious, Jin laughed. 'Ha ha... What else? I'll let the law judge them.'
'By law Jin... you mean...'
'No no no. Not the government's law. Well, you'll see what I mean Ban. You'll see.'
