The Villains looked at Multi Mask sit leisurely and seeping a glass of Domaine Etienne Guigal.
" This wine is good." He smiled
The others Pillars soon arrived.
" Where's Road and Sky?" Ajkula asked arriving with Leonel
" They are still on....an errand." Cerberus smiled
Jaxon sat in a chair as guns levitated and pointed at his company.
" Oh cher." He smiled " It almost worked."
" What is the meaning of this?" Natalie asked
Jaxon ignored her and went upstairs to where the screaming came from. Kenneth was being held by many bony hands trying to push him back. Jaxon watched from a safe distance.
" Why are you so scared of ghosts, ' Vice of my Unit'." Jaxon laughed
" Don't start now! How do you kill the dead?!" Kenneth roared releasing a blast of flamed lava
He rolled out with the girl. They returned downstairs and Skyler was waiting eating a pie.
" WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!" Natalie yelled
Jaxon closed the distance between them. She stared into his emotionless eyes with confusion.
" Good question though I can't provide an answer. Since I just did it just cause I could." Jaxon smiled " Either way you've been snooping around Blood Lily lately."
A man, Zeke went, " Since you said you're objective....we're not going to live are we?"
" It depends. Ever had a conversation with a maniac." Jaxon went
His eyes shone with an unexplainable delight as the muzzles nudged on his hostages heads.
The roulette human fired balls at the I-rank Villains. A ball ripped of one villain's leg. The slot machine human released seven shaped homing missiles. Deck of cards exploded everywhere.
" Say Boss. Is this your ideal type of casino." Ajkula laughed looking at his hand
Multi Mask dropped a joker card, " Dunno but it's fun."
The joker stood up and created a hologram above it.
" The heroes are trying to show off their almighty I-rank Heroes. Some very intellectual person tipped them on our next step." Shadow Hound frowned
The hologram was a Chinese chess board with pieces already in place.
" Don't overthink." Multi Mask went moving a piece " Just do something extraordinarily fun."
A villain dived under their table a picked a coin. The humanified inanimate objects froze. The casino was silent and the absorbed people appeared unconscious.
" What are you after Multi Mask?" One, I-rank Villain asked
Multi Mask smiled, " Depends are you in?"
Their table turned in a Poker table. Multi Mask was the dealer in a full black suit with a white leopard with purple eyes on the back.
" Call." the Villains said
" Welcome to Mask Poker." Shadow Hound grinned
Everyone levitated in the air. Multi Mask was in the center shuffling up a deck. The say the Pillars take out their phones.
Leonel snickered, " Transfer money to get chips. On you phone a new up installed: Cash Bite. Pray you never run out of chips."
Leonel pointed downwards to a floor of purple-eyed larger than normal snow leopards. Each one had a collar with a mask tag. Their chairs were staggering lower to the leopards.
" Oi! You idiots, if you run out of chips you'll be his cats next meal." Ajkula laughed
In panic they transferred to Cash Bites app and their chairs raised up higher. Their hands appeared in font of them and the chairs spun around Multi Mask in an uneven manner.
" Call." Everyone said looking at the banker, Multi Mask
" Now don't you think the heroes are extremely dominant since we give them space to be so?" Urvi went " Pair"
The cards blazed into a diagram of the Hero Association building.
" So what is your plan to eliminate Heroes?" I-rank Villain, Dark Ray smiled " Three of a kind"
The banker smiled, " I'm not that righteous but I not a push-over."
* Low Growling*
" To Boss this is all a matter of fun but the game hasn't truly began." Becca told " Flush!"
Her cards showed the strongest heroes in the world. Chips were flying in the air from dealer to dealer to the pot in the ever-changing momentum.
" You're after fairer game." I-rank Villain, Winterbell questioned " Two pair."
Dylan looked down on the I-rank heroes," That's not all. How about a Villain's nation? Royal Flush."
His cards showed the entire country and the owners of the Turfs. It displayed how mostly citizens in Vil-Turfs were more well off than those in Hero Turfs.
A villain fell into the sea of felines. I-rank Villain, Neptune went, " You just said you're not righteous."
The banker's purple eyes sparkled, " Something coming that will change the world as we know it. That's all."
" FULL HOUSE!" Ajkula yelled " Time's a-ticking to chose you're sides."
" Straight." " Two pair" " Fold" " Fold"
" If we chose you.....what is to come Banker. Royal Flush." Villain, Monarch asked
Banker looked at Monarch, " Life is sometimes a poker game without a perfect strategy but we can flip the tables as you won't be alone."
Their was a silence as the game continued. The Banker and Monarch glared at each other.
" You say you'll have our backs?" He frowned" Straight Flush."
" Monarch.....does it get lonely on you throne all by yourself up high us on land." Dylan asked " Four of a Kind."
" You think the heroes will stop ,if you do nothing?" Cerberus laughed " Straight Flush. Even if it dates back to an accidental kill to a drunk. As long as you are the ' villain' you'll die of be jailed."
Cerberus held a bitter expression. Winterbell sighed, " Will they truly not let us live normally....If we talk to them-"
" High Card." Xayn smiled " Pleas get back to reality Villains. They won't trust you even if you're in jail. They are bound by the roles life gave them."
Papers appeared in front of the I-ranks. It showed how they monitored the friends and family. As well as plans of assassinations and methods to kill them which failed and to be used.
" The internal conflicts were pointless because it was planned by the heroes as an attempt to kill you one by one." Kali aka Villain Dea Tacita smiled
The banker went, " Are you in or out Mr. and Mrs. Villains?" with a large grin
His offer was sweet yet deadly. Drawing in everyone as though a command from those deep purple eyes.
In a hotel suite.
" Brother Eli ,are you sure you read Multi Masks move properly?" a girl asked
" Quin. His next move is a Turf with resources. He's only new so he has limited channels." Eli smiled
Quin looked anxiously, " Do you need to do this?"
" I can't tell you how but Multi Mask is doing this because something big is taking place. It will turn the world on its head." Eli told " This is for the Star Blaze Federation."
Quin left and removed her face. The real Quin went to her brother and played with him. The fake Quin sent the video recording to Zaiden as she put on another mask and turned into a cat.
* Ting*
Zaiden laid on his snow leopard tossing around a Joker card. Caesar didn't hid his need to know from him.
" It's from the Pillar with the type Spy. Maskless." He sighed
No one knew in a span of a poker game Blood Lily conquered every villain in the country becoming highest authority. He tantalized villains over the enter globe to believe every word he spat.
" You're not a demon, right?" Caesar smiled
Zaiden's eyes glowed," What do you think."
