Chereads / The Legend of Trickster / Chapter 2 - Black

Chapter 2 - Black

*ZOOOOMMM!!!!*

*Waaaaahhhhhh!!!*

"Get back here"

Tens of police cars ran on a deserted road with a speed of a bullet. The place was completely abandoned by any type of living being. The blood red moon shone brightly than ever. The sky was devoid of any stars, the roads that were smooth as butter and the fog that ran upwards the sky building a bridge made it hard to sight anything. Sounds of siren rang loud synchronizing with the wind blowing. The dark sky with a blood red moon as its mole was the only light bright enough to make the scene at least visible to eyes.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Bullets were shot out instead of words putting together the scene seem akin to a battlefield. Quite a few cars with the siren of police chased after a pitch black car. The dark night blinding enough for the car to disappear into thin air if the eyes lost focus for even a second. Unsurprisingly, the car didn't make a slightest sound. There were literally no scars or dents on the car even when the car was being chased.

There was no roof on the top of the car. The car had a posh design with a few accessories at the side and that was all. In the car sat a man with pitch black hair that waved wilder with each new second and that was even more darker than the car itself. He had amber round glasses on his eyes responsible for night vision. Inside sat a pale white faced man who had a clean shaved jaw down to the last hair. He didn't have a single scar or any wound on his face except a small scratch that was right beside his left eye. His eye color lied a little between grey and white. He had dark dazed pupils and red veins popped up in his sclera. The long eyelashes were a lot similar to his black hair in color. Last but not the least he had plum, deep red lips that brought anyone's attention on them even if it was but a mere glance. He wore a black cotton hooded t-shirt. His hoodie fluttered heavily with the speed he was driving on.

He took a clean cut towards a narrow lane he passed by. His hair waved wilder as his speed increased creating the world around him a blur.

*BANG* *CLANG*

A bullet that passed by, hit the convex mirror outside the car as he gazed past the helicopter flying above him with a sniper in it. He narrowed his eyes at the sudden arrival of a helicopter in annoyance.

The driver's POV

I clicked my tongue the second I heard that "big bird" move its wings in my direction. The sniper shot the mirror outside my car and from the looks of it those guys don't seem the least bit sorry for it.

I move my right hand away from the steering to pick the microphone placed on the seat beside me. I held it tightly with my right hand while also driving at the same time.

*Kshaaaaang*

"Mic testing, mic testing"

The reply I get from them was another damned warning.

"Stop the car at once. I repeat, stop the car at once. If you continue with your run we can't guarantee your safety before you reach the prison that is."

I look behind only to find a presence of someone present in the helicopter with a microphone. To win from them in an argument I brought the mic a little more closer to my mouth as I used my strongest skill.

"Alright old man we have a deal only when you fulfill my request"

"...."

"I will take that as a yes. Well, I will stop the car all you need to do is make the 5 star hotel I am driving to, my own "home prison". So do we have a deal?"

The skill to bullshit through my teeth. This is a skill which not every guy in the town can acquire much less upgrade it to the level I am on. This legendary SSS-class skill is only given to the individuals whom even the god envies.

I noticed the old man lose his patience as he brought out big guns in this war.

"Shoot at sig-"

"Incinerate the fucker!!!"

But before he could finish I interrupted him with my sweet voice because....why not? My voice was obviously way better than that old man's as his voice was similar to when you run a high graphic MMO on a potato pc.

"Now now, don't be in a daze. Why don't you guys let me order you around? Why are you trying so hard to follow that old man hiding in the helicopter? You might start lagging sooner or later you know,"

The speed of the police cars increased significantly which would have made any criminal who was running away have his heart beat accelerate but for me it was just another day in my carefree life.....probably.

Forget what I just said. Obviously I am not strong enough to fight a whole squad of these guys but I have got my buddy with me. No, its not a human but the car I am driving. It "was" supposed to be the third fastest car ever made but with a little change in parts and after some fun experiments I did with it for not much time but just ten years and for 117 hours a week I finally made this lovely masterpiece.

*Peep* *Peep*

Huh? I glanced down at my "brother's" statistics and not only me but the officers behind me caught the sight of it with whatever they used and the cursed old man roared behind me on the mic,

"Prepare for an encounter squad coded as D-161815205320151819"

as the obnoxious old man repeated each number my face grew all the more dark. I couldn't breathe after that, it was as if a heavy boulder had been just dropped on my frail shoulders without a warning beforehand.

"....today the criminal that has been wanted in the whole country for god knows how long is going to be caught by us as he ran out of electricity to accelerate the car and the speed of the car will be going down from this moment onward. Make him pay hell as the price for sullying the name of the prestigious royal family"

I can swear on my name that the old bastard just snic..snickered at me. I raised my microphone to fight his words with words,

"Do you mind having a truce?" I smiled innocently as I glanced back. I have enough confidence in my acting skills to be able to exude stars from my face.

*Bang*

The other eye of my brother got damaged by that damned sniper again.

"Hey guys, I have got money you know. Though I am more rich than counting your ancestors to the next four grandsons combined capital you may have, I don't mind organizing a little "charity" for the royal police force as a good citizen living in the protection of this country should do. After all, you guys are the ones who take care of us small time "merchants". Let's help each other into making this country the best out of all don't you think?" This time I changed the old strategy and used the love filled words that every official in this kingdom loves: corruptio- cough come again? I was talking about the bright world where we give each other a "tip" molded specially with our love.

Before I could even get myself ready for their answer, another idiot shot a bullet to my brother at the eye he had on his butt.

"How dare a filthy criminal think of the proud officials directed directly by the duke on the same level as yourself. Show no mercy fellows," the old man again cursed me without hiding it.

Well, nothing is working. Will I be finally killed by some snot nosed brats? These guys don't even seem the type of squad who has ever seen a dead body.

Sheesh!!!

'I will have to use that huh. Who could have known I would have to use my ultimatum on a small robbery of just 780 million dollars as this. Though I should have known I would have to use it some day or other I guess' I though without looking back this time and instead I faced upwards the sky and stared at the sky with dreamy eyes. I waited for a while before slowly turning my head inch by inch. I swiped the sweat that had flowed from my head onto my face with my right hand. The drops of sweat still in the air as the wind slowly caresses my face, producing goosebumps from every fiber of my being. I steadily open my eyes that reflected everything behind me as they got wetter by each second. The sweat droplets still in the air. My hair waved freely this time because my brother's energy was down right now. My hooded t shirt practically floated with the wind. I licked my lips as I switched the auto drive mode on.

My last thoughts before opening my mouth to speak were,

'It's now or never, Sidd"

I turned completely back in a little more than second before the sweat droplets disappear as I curl my mouth upwards. The red light of the moon highlighting me completely to them all. The speed of my car slowed down but the police cars too had halted greatly.

I uttered each word one by one with a hint of seduction in it,

"Well, since you don't really want anything I own.....then the only thing I have that may satisfy you guys....," I paused myself for a little while only to hear many gulping sounds from the helicopter. From the looks of it the old man didn't switch the mic off. I move both of my hands to cover the look on my face as I rested my body on the steering wheel.

"...my body is the last thing I can offer you"

*BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!* *BOOOOOMMMMM* *BOOOOOMMMMM*

*Clang* *Clang**Clang* *Clang**Clang* *Clang**Clang* *Clang**Clang* *Clang*

Bombs were being thrown onto me, guns showered me with bullets and the old man began shouting orders like a madman.

"Kill him at any cost. That man is too dangerous to be left alive anymore. Whoever kills him will have a raise in 5 ranks, no the duke himself said that he would make you the next marquess"

It seemed as if he was being ordered around like a dog by that bast*rd. I should have known he was behind this or how would they have known I was going to empty the kingdom's treasury today? I didn't make any mistakes on the way anyways. Well, I have got no time to waste with these dimwits. I turned around and changed the gear with the speed faster than a mosquito. From the looks of it they weren't able to completely detect me in this dark night because of the fog that was still present.

"Kek," I changed the gear again with a smirk. Without looking back I slowed my car to the slowest it could get. The officers were left stupefied by this for a second but thought nothing of it and continued their gunfire. Bombs and bullets were now able to damage my buddy.

"It seems like he doesn't have any electricity to charge the car anymore. Take this opportunity to kill him or take him alive if you can," The old man continued with his commentary on the game me and the squad were playing.
