Chapter 8 - Mental Scar

"Now this information must be quite boring to you. So how about I show you some real villain fun," said Jelal with the grin which wiped away the boredom in Christopher's face and quickly turned it into a large smile of excitement as he couldn't wait to experience even a little bit of the villainary life as soon as possible. Of course Christopher wanted to experience all the parts of being a villain but he chose to agree to seeing the many different parts of it as he grows in power to handle such missions. As such, he couldn't have been any more excited as he couldn't wait even another second to commit some villainy.

"Wait where are we even going?" Christopher asked as he wanted to know where he could be going and what kind of villainy he would be a part of.

"Don't worry about it. It'll be a surprise, just follow me and you'll be glad you did," said Jelal as he began to lead the way by first leaving the room which Christopher had been placed in to take a rest after he had been forced to use his second ability which Christopher himself was not aware of.

After walking outside of the room the group was in, Jelal began to lead the way while Christopher followed behind him and lastly the remaining comrades of Jelal followed behind as well. The group walked through a massive hallway with a red carpet before going down such massive stairs that it felt exhausting to even walk down them, let alone going up them.

Once the group had arrived on the ground floor, Jelal continued to walk until they had reached a large brown wooden double door which when openers revealed the outside world.

The garden which was outside looked to be out of the world. It was so massive that it was comparable to that of Christopher's mansion's garden which didn't make sense considering that villains should not have had access to such money.

"Ummm…" Christopher tried to speak but he was too stunned to even get a single word out however there was no reason for him to worry as Jelal was quite intelligent and knew how to read someone's thoughts through just their facial expressions. As such, he was able to come to a conclusion as to what Christopher planned to say.

"Oh that's right, you probably think that villains don't have access to this type of money, right? I mean why would anyone be a criminal anymore if they already do things like this? Well though that's a good question, it doesn't really have any substance to it. After all, there doesn't have a reason for everything inside this world. Some things are just down based on gut feeling or someone randomly wants to do it. Someone might even be insane and go on a large murder spree just because they felt like it. Questions like that do not account for unlikely scenarios which due to the number of people that live in this world become much more likely," Jelal explained.

"Anyway, let's stop with all the boring stuff, follow me," said Jelal as he jumped in the air which caused a small pile of ice to appear under his feet and kept increasing in length as it pushed him further and further hence allowing Jelal to use his ice powers to travel easily much like how Christopher used his fire to propel himself further and further so that he could technically fly in the air so that he would be able to reach his destinations faster.

"Oh so I guess we're going somewhere right now. I would have preferred to take a car but I guess this isn't bad either," said Christopher as he activated his very own ability and began to take flight as he followed behind Jelal.

Of course Jelal's comrades also followed suit as they didn't want to be left behind.

After flying for some time, the group arrived at a certain small shop looking place. Something similar to a convenience store with a single owner who was working as a cashier.

"What are you doing here?" Christopher asked as he looked up at Jelal.

"Well, do you see that man over there? He's our target for today," said Jelal in a rather serious tone. Even though he already looked to be serious enough, this was much different. It was as if he was ready to destroy anything in his path. Much like the first time he had met Christopher and punched him so hard that he passed out in a mere moment except this time was much worse than that.

"Hey are you okay Jelal?" Christopher asked with a tone of concern as he didn't know what was about to take place, all he knew was that it wasn't going to be good.

"Let's get out of here. You know how Jelal gets when he makes that look," said one of Jelal's comrades before grabbing Christopher by the shoulder and forcing him to exit the store as they knew that something was coming and it wasn't going to be good.

After seeing Christopher outside, the group simply waited as if they knew something was going to happen and indeed it did as moments later, a large pile of ice with large spikes appeared out of the store which Jelal was in. Most of the ice was clean except the tips of the shards at the top of the ice which were covered in red which at a single glance, Christopher recognized to be blood.

At first Christopher wanted to think that Jelal got hurt and he needed help but after a slight second, he regained his senses and the only person that blood could have belonged to was the cashier who sat behind the desk. For some reason he had been killed with no mercy and Christopher couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach as he had just witnessed his first murder. For some reason the others seemed completely unfazed by this and looked to be glad that they managed to get far away from the scene and not get stabbed by Jelal's ice.

"Why…" Christopher asked with tears dripping from his eyes.
