Episode-5
(White Cross POV)
After binding me he had taken some distance from me he has sat on the ground Maybe he is taking precaution against me.
He started to say something about what his mother told him. Is he kidding me? A bandit like him killed my father, brother, grandmother, and raped my mother. And my mother was died indirectly because of the person like him. Is he messing with me? A bastard like him can really respect his own mother? if so he wouldn't take this path or his parents were also twisted in the first place? With anger, I voice my resentment.
But hearing me he stood up and crouch down in front me while our eyes met each other, those eyes under the mask somewhat giving me chills. Suddenly he raised his hand toward me and give a slapped that has shaken me to the core, when I again curse him because of that he slapped my other cheek and said not to bad mouth his mother.
What the hell? He cannot be serious. But when I look at his eyes which can be seen in the hole of the masked was serious. He was telling truth, somehow I can feel that.
Why? Then I notice for the first time he was not like the other bandits who have the only brain for cruelty. That guy could kill me any moment by calling that right-hand man. But he didn’t.
He is different. Then he suddenly asked my name, to test him more I provoke him calling him low life and he will be punished by God. But he ignored my provocation and asked if I was colliding with Blue Saintess.
There is really in few occasions we collide with Ice Phoenix Goddess believer, while we got the blessing from Holy Mother Fortuna. So I tell the truth honestly. But he again ask me that if I came by the order of White Saintess, who was my master, actually she doesn’t know that I am here, before coming here I sent a message that I will be busy for next month but nevertheless I told him that I came by her order and if I fail another will come.
I believe he will be nervous after hearing that because my master was one of the strongest experts in this continent.
This guy was gazing at me while pondering something. By the way, from the beginning, he was gazing my entire body. He is a pervert there is no doubt, he even took a chance and press my breasts, but still, his gaze was a lot softer than those evil bandits who just want to see me naked and violet me, this guy only appreciating my beauty... or my body I guess.
The bandits I met until now all was evil one way or other, most importantly they were cruel. But this man everything done with cool head and didn’t show his evil side and I don’t understand he was an idiot or smart or both. Why has he chosen this path? I want to know. And I want to try to make him come to the right path.
What am I thinking? Am I mad? Remember, that guy has the record which isn’t pale to the other great top bandit leaders on bounty list. I must not be deceived by only his behavior it nothing but faced. Maybe this guy thinking about to rape me first and then killed me.
If he is this kind of person, he is even dangerous than other bandit leaders on bounty list. I must cut him down before this guy spread his wings wider than now.
If so then I will use my last trump card, a suicidal magic that will take this man and his gang with me. I need three minutes to activate that, so I need to hang on, and when I was thinking about that he asked me,
“What will happen if I left this lifestyle and this continent?”
“Huh!”
An idiotic sound came out from my throat. What actually was he thinking?
Is he making fun of me? If I agree with him he might deceive and laugh at me when he raped and killed me.
There is no way an evil like him could leave this path easily, even if he is able left this lifestyle, this world again corrupt him to this path. And more so, did he think that he will be forgiven because he understood his sin and now will try to lead good man life? If I was his victim, no way in hell I could forgive him. He must be punished no matter what.
Stolen story; please report.
And that was I thinking on that most memorable day of mine, but after a long time my thought has changed I don’t know when though.
(POV changed to Main Lead.)
The more I time pass in this world, the more I realize how much trouble I am in. If I was used to this life before it would another matter, but act like bandit leader, are you kidding? Even many scenes that I saw in Hasan Ali’s memory are enough vomit. Seriously I am in f*cking tight place, come on, wouldn’t it be better if I reincarnate as hero, prince or noble… at least an ordinary man?
Sigh! There is no way I could admit my mistake and took punishment in place of Hasan Ali. I value my life most; fear of death is something was engraved in my depth. So, I won’t accept that and in the first place, I never did any guilty work except grabbing White Cross’s breast.
But if I say people of this world the real that Hasan Ali died and I am an innocent man, they will reply me, ‘Dude, are you f*cking kidding me?’
That’s why I need something that I could get away from this hell. I can’t erase the dirty deeds of Hasan Ali, even if I become saint his past sin isn’t something that could be forgiven I know that very well. But there is an only way to get rid of this, it’s really classic way, it's just run away from this continent.
I look at the White Cross, seems like she was struggling with herself. Oh well like I don’t know what was she pondering about...
Wait, she might be useful to run away from this country. I think if it is that thing she might work with me, or should I say I will force her to work with me?
“What will happen if I left this lifestyle and this continent?”
I asked her. But she made a stupid voice,
“HUH!”
I understand what she was thinking so I clear up her confusion,
“You see right now I am in a difficult position, if I continue on this continent I will die for sure, especially if my opponent is White Saintess. So I want to pack up things and run away from here. Well, I will also leave this bandit path.”
I explained.
“Why do you think we will let you leave? You are a sinner; sinner should be punished not to give them another chance. And why we will believe that you will be a good man from now on.”
“First of all, I didn’t say I will become a good man in first place. No human being can turn devil to an angel. Believe me, you are not also a good woman, how many humans you have killed from until now? Can you say with by the name of God, that you didn’t kill a single innocent human?”
Hearing me she was surprised and speechless, seeing that I confirm that she is not totally certain that she didn’t kill an innocent human yet. After all, a fanatic like her must have sacrifice innocent as by the name of god.
“Then tell me why do you think you have right to accuse me? Did your God say that you can kill innocent if it is a necessity? Aren’t you a sinner as me?”
Thanks to Hasan Ali’s harsh tone my sentence was emphasized and it put her under pressure. She was as speechless as before.
“As for another matter, you guys no need to let me leave, because I will leave this continent by myself, all you have to do is send the White Saintess a message that, I have failed, and the Ali’s Black Gang gone missing, currently I am trying to track them so I will be late to return.”
“Huh! Why should I comply with you?”
She asked me with anger.
“Oh, you should. By the way, I know you are activating the suicidal magic of yours. I already have a countermeasure about that, don’t you think die in a vain really will hurt your soul in the next life?”
“How do you…”
She failed for it, as I thought even though she looks cool she is an air head. I was just testing her dropping a fluke if she showed weird eyes than I would have thought my thinking was wrong but no matter where you go fanatics are fanatics, whatever,
“So you can stop your scheme. And listen to me; have you ever heard the Devil Contract Seal?”
Hearing that she became surprised and said,
“That’s a magic technique from infamous Termination Organization that is developed by the sinner (gangster/ she called them sinner) from underworld…”
“*Clap, clap* correct. You see I used to be one of the members of them. To operate an organization you need have trust between every member of that, but it is hard for the badass like us, that’s why, not to violet our contract, Termination create a magic seal, Devil Contract Seal. You cannot betray the contractor, cannot kill the contractor as long as contract valid, you cannot even be the reason behind the death, If you do you will die slowly because of a poison that cannot be cure, and that death is cruel than anything anyone ever can think, because they have to swallow a magic pill which originated from the Devil God, of course, the name of the contract originated from that god. Can you guess why am I telling about all of this to you?”
Hearing me she at first frowned but when she catches that,
“Don’t tell me you are saying you will make a contract with me?”
“Aren’t you sharp?”
I praise her while applauding.
“I won’t make that devilish contract with you even if I die.”
Of course, a pure God believer will not collide with a heretic with that heretical contract.
“Oh well, if you die then die, but I am giving you a chance, dying with achieving nothing isn’t that humiliation for prideful human like you?”
“What do you mean?”
I show her three fingers to her.
“In the contract first deal is, you have to let me leave the continent, second deal is you will leave a message that you have failed and follow me for sometimes, and last deal is I will leave this path. If either of us broke the deal another person will slowly die by the poison of Devil God.”
Hearing me she makes a surprised face, she was considering something if this deal good or bad, but I hurriedly made an action, I take out spatial ring which is space storage and take two types of pills one is red and white color pill and another pill is red and black color, I swallowed the red and black pill, and also put the red and white color pill on my tongue. And went in front of her and grab her face toward me,
“What are you... mgu mgu umu”
Yes, it is what you are thinking it is. I kissed her and it is a French one, but not passionate kiss I force her to swallow the other pill.
After I become successful to let her swallow the pill, I released her, and said with evil grin,
“The contract is successfully made. And of course, it was delicious.”
Hearing me her face reddened and verge of crying while cursing,
“You ***** ***** ***** *****.” [AN: I let you guess what kind of cursing she is spiting, think the worst bad mouthing you ever heard.]
I grab my ears to not to hear her beautiful song.
