Chereads / A Retired Hero: New World Harem / Chapter 16 - (CHAPTER 16: DEMON)

Chapter 16 - (CHAPTER 16: DEMON)

"A-an assassin!" One of them men yelped.

"Oh, that's why you dare make fun of me." The old woman crackled. "You idiot! We are some of the richest and most powerful human ever to step foot on earth! You thought you could kill us all that easily? You've picked the wrong site to mess with, you fool!" Sure enough, their bodyguards started to swarm the auction wrong, protecting their master behind them. Some of them are the big names, bounty hunters, assassins, some even with a rank at the Global Government's list.

"Oh yeah?" I lean onto my chair as I took out a package of cigarette out from my pocket. I lighten it up with a lighter in one hand and with another, I pulled Yui behind me. "Then…" I reach for my katana. "Why are they all falling down?" The moment I pulled my sword out of its case, cuts and wounds suddenly appeared on their body, spewing blood as they all fall down one by one.

"Hey! Stand up! What happened! Stand up you fools!" The old woman shouted, they didn't reply her orders, they remained silent in the puddle of blood, dead. "Oh-oh god…" Upon realising her situation, the proud, cocky, insolent expression changed. "Run!!" One by one, they rushed towards the exit of the auction room, squeezing through the doors like rats on a death run. Trampling on top of each other, squishing, pulling, the disgusting side of humanity in face of survival had been exposed completely. In the face of death, everything is fair, no rich no poor, nor the noble and the weak.

"May you all, get what you deserve, in the after world…" I run my finger on the tip of my blade, following it was a trace of ocean blue light. Illuminating the sword, I hold the sword with both of my hands as I concentrated. More and more light particles started to form, twirling around me and the sword. With sudden will I opened my eyes and slashed.

"SKY FALL!!"

"Calling from Headquarter E, they are under attack."

Inside the main Global Government Headquarter, it is a total mess.

"Casualties unknown, threat level Z. Code black! Request military backup from Headquarter S, N and W!" One of the member screamed at his headphone like a raging gamer, afraid that the other headquarters won't receive their call. "What happened." A man entered the room and asked. "We got a terrorist attack at the Headquarter E, Sir." He replied. "The helicopters are circling him to detect and report sudden movements."

"Him?" The man raised an eyebrow. "A one-man army?" "Yes sir." He replied. "Gave me the live broadcast from the chopper." The man ordered. "Yes, sir." After a few clicks, the broadcast was projected in the gigantic screen. Everyone stop the work in their hand for a moment and stare at it. The entire seven floor headquarter was completely destroyed, according to the ground beneath, it is as if a gigantic demon just trashed the site with its claw like a Lego set. The force so strong that it literally split the sky above into half. As a man sat on top of the ruins, wearing a tuxedo. Beside him are a pile of cages in which he cover it up with some curtains. Behind him was a women, looking rather confused by her situation. The man is holding a katana, upon seeing the helicopter filming him, he gave them a middle finger with a victorious smirk.

"Zeo"

"Cancel all the military deployment, and get ready for my personal chopper!" The man ordered as he exited the telecommunication room. "W-what!" None of the workers gasp upon his decision. "Do it!" He ordered. "I wanted to meet him myself!" The rest stare at each other, but had no choice but to did what they are told. And soon, his chopper arrived and perched onto the headquarters' landing pad. The man get onto the helicopter, and soon they were off, heading towards city E, towards the ruined Headquarter E, to meet with an old friend.

"W-who are you?" Yui stare at me. The man in front of her, is so familiar, yet so distant. "It is hard to explain." I said as I yawned, checking my watch, that boy sure is a slowpoke. "All the things that you told me before I met you at the café. It is all just a lie, right?" I remain silent, staring at the city from afar. Although it is still night, the light still illuminates City E, seeing this from afar feels kind of soothing. "Tell me!" She shouted; her voice seem chocked. I turn my head and stare at her, she crouched to the ground and began crying. "Why…" She spoke as she cried. "I put my heart on you, and yet this is what I got. I loved the wrong Zeo, you are not him." She whimpered out her feelings. I felt like a bitch. The sudden confession is a nice thing, but I knew the moment I step this far, there is no turning back. I hoped that you can understand me, Yui…

"Z~E~O~!!"

When I am about to think of a way to calm her down, I heard a huge scream, a heavenly shout of a man. And it seems like it came from… above? Before I could react, someone fell right in front of us, posing his landing like superman, leaving a crater beneath him. He is wearing a black set of military suits, matching his jet-black hair. His brick face is stone cold, and to be honest, looks like a stone too. His black eyes stare at me, I stare back. "You are late, Alan." I told him. "What are you doing here!" He pointed at me; his white cloak flapped in the cold night wind. "Tell your flying flies to close the light." I ordered. I had no time to waste on explaining all of these shits, an image is better than a thousand words. "What?" Alan asked. "Closed the lights? You are trying to escape?"

"Escape?" I scoffed. "I could've escaped earlier on if I wanted." "Alright, alright." He took a walkie talkie out from his coat pocket and ordered. "Closed the lamps." And soon, the helicopters that are circling me shut their blinding lights off, what remains are darkness. "Here" I gestured him to come closer towards the pile of cage, as I unveil an edge of the curtain. Inside there were people, chained and locked up. Some of them were forced to put on lingerie and sex clothing, while some were drugged, constantly at a sexual desired state. "Apparently, you are keeping a sewer of rats. If this wasn't enough there is a micro camera within that necklace, take it out, you will have a splendid surprise." I pointed at the necklace Yui is wearing. "And it was I who helped you hook them up, and you…" I approached Alan and stare right into his eyes.

"You had a lot of explanation to do, Lead Admiral Alan."
