As I suspected, he's a clever person. There is nothing that goes unnoticed by him. I tried my best to keep the distance between my personal life and my professional life. But there's a saying, 'You can't hide yourself forever. One day or other you would be found.'
It was partly my fault that I took that kid in. But that was the regret I had when I first took him. However, it is not now. I have done nothing wrong.
"It's been fifty minutes. Go wake up Helena. I want to see her before living." He glanced at his hand watch that was made out of pure gold. Whenever the clock ticks, it makes a heavy sound that echoed the pin-drop silent room.
"It would be best not to wake her up. She had done households from the morning. I'll take her to your office in the morning."
He shot me with a piercing gaze. I went nervous. There's nothing to be afraid of. I tried to console myself.
He made a long sigh and continued, "Look, Finn. If you don't wake her up then that's okay. I just go and see her myself without waking her up." Saying that he stood up instantly and on his way upstairs. However, I can't let that happen.
"So, this has come to this " I mumbered on my own, "You have to first go through me."
"Huh?" He seemed surprised but it didn't last long, "I see." With a few words that uttered his mouth, he smoked out his lighted cigarette on the trash can.
"Before that let me ask you a simple question, Finn." He averted his sights on the trash can beside him.
"Did you ever value your life?"
"What kind of cheeky question is that? If you wanna ask something then ask a bold one."
"Alberto! Hacula!" He spelled out the names of his faithful bodyguards. I took my position. I'm a Martial art champion. Huh? Don't underestimate me, fools.
The first one came with a high kick that could be made me fly out of the room. I eagerly waited for his move. I jumped off the floor and successfully avoided his energetic kick.
Now, it's offensive time. I laid out my body on the ground and slipped past his wide legs. His body was so huge that not even he can get his eyes on the surroundings. I went aboard and landed a perfect kick.
A kick for a kick!
But, I made a mistake. A huge one. I was so engrossed in fight him that I forgot to keep my sights on the other bodyguard. He went in front of me out of nowhere and get hold of my slender legs and 'Bam!" Stoke me down hard enough to break my two ribs. But that didn't end he twisted the leg he was holding the entire time. Two times in a row.
I couldn't help but scream. "Haaa"
"Haaa!"
"You have gotten weak, Finn. I can't believe it was you who once stay on the front lines. In the 'Brutal force." Brutal force is a team made for attacking other groups or organizations. To add more fuel, I was the leader of that. When I backed off gradually from it, I heard it had fallen apart as the members didn't like the new leader.
"Just so you know, Matsuta is the leader of it now."
I grinned a bit and let out a small noise of mockery. "Heh!"
He looked like it had pissed him off pretty badly.
"Don't you think your fighting for no reason?"
I didn't answer rather I stood with my broken leg. My regeneration power had gotten pretty bad.
Well, age is something that matters to us most. We lose the power that was given to us as we grow old. That is also the case for young ones. For some people, it takes a long time to develop their power. It's just like adoresense. I hardly understand the theories behind this but now I get it bit by bit.
"You can't regenerate faster? I see… that means you're no use to me."
"As harsh as ever. You never change." My red bloody teeth gave no signs of defeat.
"Now, now, Mr. Assistants! Give me a memorable death. Would you?"
"I trusted my guts and moved onward with everything I got. This is the best fight I'm gonna attend. Fight with everything I got. Up until now I never had to enjoy such battles. Was it because I was strong then? No, It's something else. It's because I now have someone I have to protest.
"Come one! Let's do it.." I hurried my punches and not a single one lead on their faces. I was too slow compared to them. I don't know what but everything is becoming blurry. I was losing my consciousness as those big-handed dudes kept slamming my god damn head. Blood came out so much that I could swim in here. They were breaking my bones as if it was a pack of instant noodles. They are sticking so fast that my regeneration couldn't keep up with them. Huh? I was falling. Falling very hard.
"SLAM!!"
"Live him like that. We would finish him later. Move onward!" As Mr. Andrea commanded his solo bodyguards, they left me and was going upstairs with him.
"H-Hey...D-don't. ..No….I can still f-fight…" I was trying but my voice didn't reach them.
Helena, I wanted to thank you for the meal. I wanted...to thank you… I couldn't do anything more as my body is severely crushed into bits. I glanced at my legs that were upside down.
"Guess I can't even walk." The floor was getting fed like red wine. Did someone spill wine? The carpet was already enclosed with that wine.
Helena would definitely yell at me for this. As I was having my own fun time, my eyes were getting smaller and smaller. I was getting an intense sensation of sleepiness. My sleeping eyes were about to close. My life was getting sucked by a strong presence.
"It's up to you Helena. Save him." With that parting word, I closed my sights for eternal.
