"HEY! MANNIX! HEY, YOU HEAR ME?!"
Although Mickey escaped to upstairs, Sera still following him and spitting her complaint all the way.
" Shit, woman. Your voice is louder than 120 dB, Is your throat alright?"
He wants her to stop, but his words are more like splashing oil into the flames.
" SHUT UP! DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT."
The British girl continued.
" What's wrong with you? Have I ever done anything bad to you?! STOP, this disgusting, despicable manners toward me! I'm upset! ---"
" Calm down, Sera. I just ate your yogurt."
The boy put a jack in the guitar, ready to play it.
" Don't FUCKING Sera me, MANNIX. You're having a prejudice with me and that's NOT OKAY. Since the first day. SINCE THE FIRST GOD DAMN DAY. And you keep doing this, Despicable stuff. You aren't even ashamed of your actions, are you?! "
"...."
"...."
"........"
The boy then spoke.
" You finished? "
😡😡😡😡😡😡💢💢💢💢💢
That upsets her even more. However, his mood suddenly gets serious.
" Now, let me ask you something. Have I ever done anything that'd be considered a harm to you?"
"....."
Sera stunned.
" what?"
" I'm asking. Have I ever done anything that would be considered a harm to you? Have I hurt you? Physical assault you? Steal your money or even sexual harassment? Have I ever done any of that to you? Or did all the things I have done just to make you irritated causing you any overwhelming consequences?"
"....."
"......"
" You know why I did it? Because it's fun. And you know why it's fun? Because all I need to do is just teasing you something slightly significant such as eating your yogurt or mocking your makeup thickness. You always take this small thing into big problems. You are like a house cat. You've been fed since a brat. Well, I guess I couldn't blame that on anyone, it's your parent's privileges to raise you in that way. But what has been sticking with you from being raised by that kind of the rich's way is arrogance. And it was that 'arrogance' that has made you being like this. It was that 'arrogance' that drives you spitting these loud, annoying complaints after me until you're standing here. Do you know why I never make fun of Jody? Because it doesn't matter. Jody doesn't even care. Moreover, She'll see it as a funny joke and probably laugh about it. You know why? Because she has a "Maturity" and as far as I observed, She has a lot of it...which makes me respect that. But you? Oh, Jesus. I'll be honest with you, your maturity ain't even a quarter of Jody. I respect your ability, I respect your intelligence, No doubt, You are talented. But I kinda...*scratches chin*
You know...like...You're likely the only one who hasn't gone through bad events in your life. So your maturity hasn't grown up at all. You've never faced the bad times ever in your life huh? "
"..."
"......."
"...."
" Bitch is completely destroyed by facts and logic, so my guessing is right then?"
Mickey grins.
"..."
" Now what is happening, Sera. You.are moved into another society, this one. a society that is above your school or even your daylife standard. You are being used to utilizing your power to press everyone down back then. But now, You are like the house cat that goes outside your comfort zone for the first time."
Sera couldn't come up with an argument. She's like a dummy and Mickey is like a gunslinger, keep blasting his bullets to her non-stop.
He then moved closer to Sera and pointed to her face.
" Speaking in the term of 'real' combat experience... You're...the weak, And I am the "Despicable man" doing such despicable things. And mister Gibson custom, the guitar I'm about to play here, is the only one who can reduce my stress and anxiety from my job. Now, you are interrupting my only prime time to enjoy playing it."
His look changed, Sera can felt the threatening aura from Mickey Mannix.
From her instinct, she can tell that this is the real shit.
She admits that it does threaten her not a little...however, Mickey cuts it off.
"... Well. Seeing me like this but I'm not really kind of edgy guy, you know. I don't like to threaten others if it's not necessary. Not cool at all. We're already grown man now. Anyway, Your habits need time to improve. So... Let me tell you some story of the boy I knew...please have a seat."
Mickey is sitting on a bed, he taps his hand twice on the left area next to him, inviting Sera to sit.
"...."
Sera slowly walks near that and sits down.
"... What are you going to tell me..."
"... A story about the boy. Who is an immigrant, born in Israel, his unknown dad is german but his mommy is Israel..."
.
.
.
.
.
.
Mickey Mannix was born in 2002, in Jerusalem, Israel.
Since his childhood, he has no one close to him, not even his own mom, "Ayala".
The financial status within the family is the worst of the worst.
Mickey hates his poverty the same as he hates his mom. She is a huge "Gold Digger", She changes her partner once a week and never comes home while she's with them. She sucks their money in various ways and used it for herself and shares a little to him, basically, she treats him like shit.
At this point, there's no need to explain how charming Mickey's mom is.
He never receives a single bit of warmth or love from his mommy.
Even Ayala never explains to Mickey, but he deeply knows that he's born by an accident. There's probably a hole in condom or something but Mickey never cares about it. Because he's already there and there's only need to move forward.
The only thing he knows is that german man who impregnated his mom or so-called his father, the name is Mannix.
And he has no doubt why his dad left her. Because she's such a big whore.
Mickey doesn't like to stay near anything he doesn't like for too long.
Although he always follows his mom's rules, he never respects her...and will never see her as a human being.
So he starts his plan since he was 10.
He has a thought of fighting things he hates by the things he hates. But He is fully intended to do it because he thinks his mom deserves it.
Mickey Mannix starts to do the thing he hates most.
He acts.
He lied. Lied to her that he's afraid and will follow her orders because she's his mom.
But behind the scenes, he does another thing.
And now the right time has come...
"....."
Ayala just woke up from her bed, this day she has to go on a trip with the new partner she got from the pub.
After she wears make-up, a fake personality, and some seductive dress, she went to her closet to get her luxurious purse out but she didn't find it.
".... What? "
Ayala was very confused. She remembered that she just put it in here since yesterday.
"....."
Or maybe she forgot it.
" MANNIX! Where's my fucking bag?!"
She shouts.
But no response.
".... MICKEY!!!! HEY! WHERE'S MY FUCKING PURSE??? "
"....."
"......"
Still no response.
" This Lil' fucker...."
Ayala quickly rushed up to Mickey's room and harshly slammed the door in.
" HEY YOU PIECE OF SHIT! I CALL YO--"
Her eyes are frozen.
Because Mickey's room is empty.
He's not there.
All of the clothes in his closet are gone.
"..."
Nerves formed up on Ayala's face, she breathes heavily, her eyes look like they're about to pop out.
She went looking for him all around the place, but she didn't find him.
".... This fucking brat! I can't believe he did this to me!!! FUCK!"
After realized that Mickey has run away from the house, Ayala didn't care about it as much as a single mom should do.
" Screw that little shit! I bet he'll come back crawling to me! He can't get any far."
She then goes for the safe under the closet.
This is the reason she didn't be that mad. Because Ayala has another huge amount of money-saving in the safe, her other credit cards, her account books...etc.
She never told Mickey about this. He never knows about a safe under the closet.
Click...Click...Click...Click...Click...BEEP.
The electronic system then made the safe automatically unlocked.
She opened it, but then it makes her feel even worse.
" !!!!! "
Her eyes froze even harder.
All the money, account book, credit cards inside the safe... They are all gone.
"...."
Her body is shaking heavily as her eyes turning red with unexplainable anger...
All the money she could find for her entire life has gone... All gone...
" MAAAAANIIIIIIIIXXXXX!!!!"
Ayala screamed in anger but it did nothing. Mickey couldn't even hear it...he didn't even want to know about it.
Ayala needs to start from 0 all over again...
.
.
.
.
.
.
" You know how the boy knew his mother had a safe under her closet?"
"....."
" Because he had discovered that he is an ability user since he was 10. But never told it to his mom. He sensed the flow of electricity within the electric circuit under the safe's number pad."
At this point, it is cleared to Sera that the boy in the story is no one but Mickey Mannix however, she didn't say it out.
" So... the boy stole all his mother's wealth?"
"..... Yes."
Mickey smiles threateningly.
" All of them.and he has no regret for doing it."
"...."
Sera gulped.
" But at least she is the boy's mom... Wasn't he being too brutal... If that's exactly all her entire life's money?"
She asked.
Mickey gently shakes his head before he replies back.
" See, I skip the dramatic part of my story because I think you may find it too boring and depressed. I don't like it too. Things like this if you ain't experience it yourself, you wouldn't even understand how it feels. It may seem cliche for most of life's drama story. But you have to admit it always happens to many people around the world. Included...the boy. He thought she deserved it. That's the fair payback for treating him like shit for years."
" So where's the boy going?"
"Germany"
.
.
.
.
.
.
9 November 2013, Mickey Mannix arrived in Berlin. Germany.
By using his ability, He hides in the electricity that runs in the plane from Jerusalem airport to Berlin.
As the plane landed. Mickey quickly used the opportunity when the plane was transporting into the hangar, jumped out of it, and made his way into the airport.
He had no problem escaping out. By walking in the airport's toilet and using his ability to travel from wire to wire through the current in the connected electric circuit all over the place.
He had already taken all his mom's money out of the account. Changed it to the dollar, some to Euro.
Another 1 year passed by. Right now Mickey has fully achieved german language. He can speak, but still can't write.
Though, life wasn't going easy on him.
He's running out of money.
Not much left in his wallet, Mickey couldn't find a job because he's still a kid no one would hire him.
.
.
.
.
"....So where did you sleep at night? "
Sera asked.
" Me? It was the boy-"
" Do you think I'm a fool? I know the boy was you since you said he's from Israel. Don't act cool, it's cringy."
Sera looked a little displeased.
Mickey then replied.
" Well, I only act cringy for the people who look cringe to me...you know. Like wearing emo make-up...having a toothpaste hair like..."
"...💢💢💢 It's called style."
Sera argued back to the message sent directly to her.
" I'm so sorry to hear that."
" *Gasp*..... MANNIX YOU SON OF A--"
" Just kidding..."
"....*stop gasping* ..."
".. Unless?"
" Stop bull shitting around, Mannix."
".... Alright...."
"...I slept In the park, someday in front of a grocery store... Some day next to the garbage bin....I've been sleeping at all the nasty places"
He said.
"...ew...."
Sera can smell it just by his words. She didn't want to imagine being in the same situation as him.
" But still, living as a homeless here was better than living with my mom."
Mickey said.
Suddenly, he changed his tone of voice into seriousness.
".... One day, I ran out of money. So I have no choice but to steal in order to survive... But that time... I kinda make a mistake... Because I chose a target that's kinda... Too big for me..."
"... Too big? So you got beat up by him?"
"... Oh no, no, no. Not in a physical way.
... I had chosen to steal some money from a daughter of a mafia gang..."
.
.
.
.
A body of Mickey Mannix got thrown over the hard wooden table, crushing it instantly.
" This little piece of shit! "
The guard with a big body built came over him and punched him in the face, but as his fist touched mickey's skin, he got an electric shock.
"Ahsjslsisjssjksbebekakowuehrtkwl"
He ain't dead, however, badly injured.
Honestly, Mickey at that time hadn't had thoughts of killing someone.
So he's just about to push them out of his way and made an escape.
Unfortunately, what he's dealing with wasn't just ordinary people...
They are a big influencer in german... A mafia gang...
Needless to say, Mickey was quickly surrounded by german police officers, Although he's ability user, he's still a human. He could die by a bullet plus that time he's running out of energy...
Thus he couldn't make it.
At the police department... Interrogation room.
Mickey Mannix was hardly beaten up by officers. Though he was a kid, what he had done is beyond ordinary kids.
One of the officers grabbed his collar.
" HEY. BRAT! Do you have any fucking idea who you're stealing from?!... You are dead! "
Mickey didn't reply. He stayed quiet.
"... Who you were stealing money... Was "Emma Hammershmark" the only daughter of Mister Hammershmark. You got that?! HuH?!...."
"...."
" You're brave to do something like that to her, kid. Who're your pare--"
While the officers were spitting shits on Mickey, a person suddenly came into the room.
" !? "
The police officers immediately quiet down when they saw a young woman, dressed in high class, walking in...with the bodyguards behind her.
It's Emma Hammershmark. A person who Mickey tried to steal her money.
"...."
Mickey glared at her with no fear...
"... Miss Emma. What are you doing here? We're in the middle of interrogating him. Or do you want to skip the part and put him in jail? Or?"
"... Quiet..."
One word from Emma making the officers completely shut their mouths up.
(... She's this influence?... Who the fuck her father is? ...)
By observing her, she was older than Mickey for about 4 or 5 years.
Emma was a glasses girl, she's hot in her rich kid way. Overall looks like some cocky rich brat in many anime. However, the only unique point was that she wore a "Pink glasses".
" Pretty boy... You're very brave to steal from me... And that electric ability of yours... I'm interested..."
She grins.
" You have 2 choices. First, decline my second choice and I'll let these guys wipe you out of this country. Or... Second, You... Will be under my property from today..."
"....."
No need to take time to make a decision. Mickey instantly chose the second choice.
He didn't want to die.
Somehow God doesn't want him to die too soon, he guessed.
After that, Emma threw a "Dog Collar" at him.
"....."
Mickey picked it up in confusion, glaring back to her.
" Wear it. From today you are my pet now."
"....."
(... Shit... This bitch is sadism?!... What the fuck?!....)
Since that incident, Mickey Mannix was moved to stay in the elegant mansion, the private place for Emma Hammershmark.
He lived with her only just in the name of her "toy".
He's been there for 6 months straight. And it was fucked up.
This bitch is just a problematic whore whose parents didn't have time for her.
.
.
.
.
"She's just a bratty "Everyone is trash beneath my feet" mean girls. Acting like she's the center of the universe. And a big metal illness fucks shit ever alive."
Said Mickey.
" What had she done to you..."
"... You wanna know?"
He asked.
"....."
"...You really wanna know?"
He asked again.
Sera nods.
.
.
.
.
.
Emma used him as if he was her toy.
Punish him by ordering her guards to beat Mickey until he passed out when he didn't do as she said.
Of course, that also means a fuck-up pervert things.
But we'll skip that part because it will make the rating of this novel gets higher.
I'll let you guys imagine it yourself.
She forced him to do whatever he didn't want to do, pushed him closer to the edge of his emotion.
All of this just for fun...
First Mickey thought he was lucky that she didn't want him dead, but right now, he wanted to die more than being with Emma.
This must be god's punishment...
He didn't want to be here anymore...
He's slowly suffering.
But again, don't forget that Mickey Mannix is the type of person who doesn't like to stay near anything he hates.
So he tried to escape twice...
But he failed.
Because Emma had ordered for her henchman to surround all the place by a high tension insulator.
When they caught him, he'll get beaten up, get tortured in various ways...and more.
They imprison him in a room, made out of plastic.
Mickey hates Emma. He hates her so much but couldn't do anything.
" Ho~ ... Pity you... What a pathetic rat Jew..."
Emma grins in satisfaction.
The only reason Emma didn't kill him yet, thanks to Mickey's mother Ayala, because Ayala was a seductive person...so the seductive genes got passed down to Mickey too by giving him a sweet, pretty look...like a girl. Or the other words, If Mickey got dressed up in girl's clothes, It would be very hard to tell if he's male or female.
The more he stayed with Emma, the more his mental got destroyed.
I can't bear with this bitch. I can no longer endure it. I want to get away from her... But how?
That question always repeated in his mind.
.
.
.
.
" I knew one thing. This bitch likes me. She's got butterfly under her belly about me. But In the extremely fucking NO.NO. way. She's fucking sick. You feel me?"
"...."
"....so... How did you get out of that?"
Asked Sera.
.
.
.
.
.
.
One day...
"....."
Mickey was sitting in the cage, this day Emma looks off.
She seems stress like she had a problem.
What a rare thing to happen to a person like her.
Mickey observed her from his cage quietly.
She was talking on the phone, Mickey didn't quite hear what she's saying. But it must be a severe topic because her face didn't look good at all.
"...."
Suddenly, while Emma was speaking, her room was severely opened up by a group of people.
C R A S H!
Emma was very shocked by that incident, Mickey, on the other hand, didn't feel anything at all, he almost senseless by all things she'd done to him.
.
.
.
.
.
"... Who were they?"
Sera asked him.
" Well, I really don't know. But heard from their conversation, That bitch owned them money in gambling about hundreds of millions. I assumed those people were her loaner's henchmen."
" Hundreds million? That's quite a lot. What the hell she was gambling on?"
Sera asked again.
" I don't know. It could be horse racing or some casino vibes. But the really important thing that I heard was that bitch's family at that exact same time was exposed by the outer media about their corruption. I listened to them carefully and seemed like her family had no more influence or authority because they broke up with each other. I don't know the reason but it should be some benefits things. Not too long After that, those guys went out, leaving bitch in full anxiety. They just came to deliver their boss's words."
Said mickey, grinning.
" And I knew instantly at that time. God had given me another chance to escape. And it had to be done right there, on that day."
"....So you bust out? "
Asked Seraphina.
"....."
Mickey smiles is so evil like he had expected Sera would say this, he wheezed which made Sera confused as hell before continued.
" I did more than bust out. I had a bright idea. So bright that one's never had thought of it before."
" What was it?"
" I noticed that most of the bitch's decorative stuff all over the place was made by kindlings."
Mickey paused, moving closer to Sera.
" So I burnt it down."
.
.
.
.
.
6 August 2015… The day when a mysterious fire incident occurred at Hammershmark private mansion in berlin.
No one knows how did it happen.
Except for one person...
Mickey Mannix.
Who was now standing above Emma hammershmark's body, who was suffered from smoke choking beneath his feet.
Emma was scared, feared, and wanted to scream for begging for her life to Mickey, but her throat felt like there was a dessert in it.
Her eyes were red, full of tears, Mickey on the other hand, full of happiness that he could pay back to what she had done to him.
" I thank you for helping me out of trouble that day. And I know you have no more authority in society now... So I help you in return."
Mickey turns back, proudly glaring at the burning mansion he set on fire.
He turns back smiling.
" You know, I deeply hate you. And I never see you as human fella, to begin with, however, there's one thing I like about you..."
Mickey took off her pink glasses.
"... I hate everything about you. But THIS. I like it. So... It's mine now."
Mickey wears it.
" How many months have you been playing with me? Ha? 2 months? 4? 6? Or have you ever counted? Doesn't matter. Because all of them will be paid back to you all at once... I won't let you die easily. Don't worry about me... Worry about yourself. Are you ready for it?"
Emma couldn't do anything more than traumatized by that frightening smile and prepared for the faith that awaits her.
.
.
.
.
.
Sera was stunned, she finally remembered it now.
" I remember...I remember it now... It's the death of her! It's the death of the daughter of Hammershmark house...She was reported dead in the fire, wasn't she?! "
Mickey grins again.Â
"... Y...You... Mannix... So you were the person who did that all! You were the person that police were looking for?!"
Sera's eyes froze.
" Yes. 50 people... Burnt to crisp. Maids, Bodyguards, gardener... And This... It is the amulet that will forever remind me how sweet revenge tasted like. "
He taps his pink glasses.
"..."
No need to tell. The pink fashion glasses he wears was once Emma's.
And After that whole incident... The boy escaped without traces. And by the god's will or not, a year after that,Â
" I met Syd."
Mickey says.
There was a rumor around the hammershmark's house that the dead daughter once owned the boy who is an ability user, and his power impressed the organization.
" They told me that my ability was a hidden gem. So I decided to join for only 2 reasons..."
"....."
Sera was listening.
" 1. I have nothing to lose. 2. I like Syd. That's all."
"....."
Sera eyebrows twisted by the second reason.
Mickey appears to know what weird thought she was thinking.Â
" Not in that kind of way."
" oh..."
He continued.
" He was the one they sent to invite me to join them. Guess they think sending people at the same age as me will succeed convince me to join? I don't know, but it worked pretty well."
"... Syd is one big mighty bastard yet admirable person I've ever met. Our chemistry goes along pretty well. And what split him from many rich people like "You" is his mindset. His thoughts, sure he may be arrogant. But his arrogance was different from yours."
" And after that. We met Toshi."
Mickey added.
" You satisfied? We are equal now. I know you, you know me. Believe it or not, I don't care."
He gazed at the clock.
" Damn. My prime time almost runs out. Are you gonna leave or sit here or what?"
