Adrian's cold blue eyes shone in the dark room, he sat on a wooden chair cross legged like he was in a TV show, but his countenance screamed murder. In the underground part of the mansion, a place he kept people who didn't deserve to see the light of day or demons who crossed the line.
Adrian was never a good person, he won't hesitate to get rid of those who messed with him. Since he was no longer under the influence of the laws of heaven, he was neither the ally of the underworlders, no matter how much lucifer himself tried to persuade him to join them. But he was feared by the demons, both high and low ranked, after he slaughtered the highest ranking demon who dared to challenge him.
"Who sent you" Adrian asked his voice calm, like he didn't just beat the hell out of the victim on the floor in front of him, "I don't remember pulling out your tongue demon, my patience is running out" he glared at the demon.
Spitting out black blood, the demon who laid on the floor still with the guise of a human, looked up at him, his only job was to capture the human girl who's soul merged with the angel of war, just to get hold of the archangel himself.
He thought it would've been an easy task since the human girl was weak, but he didn't know she was close to the demon slayer.
Though he tried to escape the demon slayer somehow caught him, he didn't bargain for this. "Since your tongue is of no use I should remove it" he heard Adrian say as he stood up from the chair, frantically moving back, he hasn't recovered from the torture he got, he couldn't regenerate fast cause the injury was caused by an angel, "there's a bounty on the human girl's head, but we are after the archangel inside her" he said, his back already on the wall, he was cornered and the demon slayer was crouched in front of him with a deadly smile.
"And why, don't tell me you guys are planning that silly take over again" Adrian said laughing out loud, getting up from his crouched position he looked down on the demon cowering in fear, "lucifer doesn't know when to quit, does he" Adrian said, back to his cold gaze staring at the demon, "since you told me the truth I'll let you go easy"
The demon looked up hope visible in his eyes, he thought the demon slayer would take his life, but he didn't...the sound of blood splashing broke the demon's thoughts, the head of the demon rolled down from his body as he transformed to his real form "a quick death is mercy to me" Adrian said picking out a hanky from his pocket to wipe his face and hands from the black blood.
Walking out of the cell like room, his aura calm as the oceans without waves like he didn't just kill someone, he made a mental note to take the head to lucifer as a warning, to not lay a finger on Leslie. He didn't care about their stupid plan, he had no business with it, his only concern was that nothing happens to her.
Stepping out of the underground compartment, Mace waited patiently at the top, bowing to Adrian as he stepped out "My schedule" Adrian asked, walking forward towards the mansion, Mace trailed behind him looking through his tablet, "You have a meeting with the managers of the departments in the company sir" Mace said, Making Adrian walking "since when, who arranged that?" He asked, Mace looked up from his tablet "you did sir" Mace replied making Adrian chuckle if it were someone else he would have his tongue.
Stopping in front of his room, "get the car ready" he said, walking into the room and closing it behind him, Mace walked down to do as he was told.
Adrian stood at a spot, glancing at the place she lay. Her scent still lingered in the room, looking at the bag neatly placed at a corner, he raised an eyebrow wondering why she didn't take it. Pulling off his blood stained suit he walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
Walking out of the mansion a black jeep was parked waiting for him, Mace opened the passenger seat bowing as Adrian got in, climbing into the driver seat, they drove out to the company.
Too bad he wouldn't be seeing Leslie, a subtle smile formed on his face as he pictured her glaring at him.
