CHAPTER 18
In a poorly lit room, three beings were seen seated before each other with a black glass table in between them and a couple of drinks and wine glass on it.
For some minutes none of them spoke. They just stared at each other and the drinks on the table. Each one had a separate thought in their heart to think about.
Finally, one of them moved out from his seat and let out an exasperated sigh, looking at them.
"What do you think? We cannot allow him to do what he wants."
"Why are you bothered at all, Fearghal?"
"What do you mean by that?" Fearhghal retaliated.
"Simple, Fearghal," Cardoc began, it is taking him about two weeks to get the first girl. Imagine if he uses two weeks to get the others."
"Hahhaaaa…." Calogero could not help himself in bursting into an uproar of laughter.
"I am sorry but true to what Cardoc has said, he has thirsty girls, imagine if he uses two weeks to get each one. Then we wouldn't need to do much but wait till the six months elapse and he would be a mere human then we can kill him as much as we want without anyone actually bothering about anything."
"I understand you guys but think properly. You know Abaddon wasn't one to play around the ladies in the first place but I believe after getting the first three girls max, he would up his game knowing he doesn't have enough time and given who he is, I believe we all know he hates losing."
They knew he had a point but for some reason, Cardoc wished it was as simple as how he had said it.
They couldn't really underestimate him as he somehow succeeded in all that he laid his hands to do.
"Sigh! Why does he have to be so damn outrightly annoying?"
"Because he is Abaddon. Annoying is his middle name," Calogero chipped in, causing all of them to burst into laughter.
"For reals guys, this is not a laughing matter. We may laugh now but live to regret it later," Fearghal said after the laughter had died down.
"True."
"So, in order to achieve that which we must achieve, I believe we cannot let him have the last laugh."
"Exactly. We must do all we can to ensure he doesn't succeed."
"I love your enthusiasm, Calorego but we must also tread with caution. I believe the Demon Lord would also have eyes on him. Especially if he suspects something is wrong," Fearghal advised.
"Noted. I would be careful and quiet as a grave mouse. But one thing is sure. Shouldn't we help spoil what he has gotten now?" Cardoc suddenly spoke up.
Both demons looked at each other and then back at Cardoc. "For real?" Calogero asked.
He knew they planned on ruining things for Abaddon but starting now?
"Isn't it too early and overly suspicious? Considering Emma wasn't actually having a man in her life, so how well do you intend to ruin this? Besides, you would have to be more charming, handsome and the lots to get her attention away from Abaddon," Fearghal reasoned.
"I know and that is why we can influence it not by ourselves."
"I do not understand. You got us in circles," Calogero interrupted.
Knowing that this may end up becoming more difficult than he thought in explaining things to his friends, Cardoc let out a deep sigh and then took a huge sip from his drink. "Ahh!"
"Come on, speak and do not leave us in the dark any longer," Calogero scolded him.
"Fine, fine. I have heard you. This is what I meant. We can simply invest in someone else."
"What?" Fearghal half yelled.
"Yes."
"Are you out of your damn mind? It is already something that we know and we are plotting this, now you want to add another demon to the equation. No. I would not stand for it," Fearghal said keenly.
"Who said anything about the culprit being a demon?"
"You said?" Both Fearghal and Calogero responded at the same time.
"Understand me and stop cutting me short first, guys."
"Then go straight to the damn point," Fearghal said impatiently.
"Fine! You see, we would not need a demon but we would use a human as our target. We would get one that is charming and give him the rest. We do not need a rich person, so we can influence him with wealth and the likes as well as telling him we are his guardian angels sent to help him. And once we have used him, it would be easy to get rid of him without incurring any problems on our neck. Think of it guys."
Neither Calogero nor Fearghal spoke. This was indeed something worth it.
After a while of carefully prodding on it, similar smiles appeared on their faces. "Yeah. You got brains Cardi."
"Nice one. This is the perfect first plan to ruin his six months target. Good one."
