Chereads / The World’s King Slayer / Chapter 102 - Bliss

Chapter 102 - Bliss

Farrah dressed as the Sun Demon jumped from the roof of a building. She moved fast and kept running till she finally reached a cross section of the city. She pulled out a telescope from her belt and looked through it, adjusted the lens and zoomed into a bronze vehicle. Stepping out were three beautiful women and following them was Corazon with two bodyguards. He was dressed in nice attire and they walked into the club. Above them was the neon sign of the Green Gecko. 

She folded her telescope and heard movement behind her. Huffing and puffing were her men led by Scarab. He looked winded. "My gods, did you really need to take that many winding turns?!" He said, spitting on the ground. "Yes. You boys need to stay and shape?" She giggled. Scarab waved her off and put on his demon mask. "So. What was the big target you wanted to strike?" He asked. "Well the club Green Gecko is known for pushing the drugs Bliss. Here is also a sex club where many aristocrats come to explore their fantasies. Tonight they have a special guest gracing their club?" Scarab looked puzzled. "Who is it?" He said with a more serious tone. "Corazon" caused Scarab to be taken aback. "You want to hit the Prince?" He asked with confusion. "No. I want to kill the production of Bliss. He isn't just a user, but part owner. Best strike is their money. The king will eventually learn that lesson after the guilds don't pay tribute and this city comes to a halt from the lack of a workforce. Corazon thinks himself a crime lord along with being a future king" she pointed down. "Under this club is where it's manufactured. Heavily guarded but I believe you gentlemen could handle it. We use stealth and plant these" she pulled out a chain of explosives from her belt. 

She threw them to Scarab, "Plant those on the stash you have ten minutes so after planting them get out" she looked back at the club. "You're not coming with us?" He asked, confused, slinging the explosive belt over his shoulder. 

"No. I'm going to be a distraction. I want the prince to see me" Scarab nodded. "Get going and be silent. When you hear explosions get to work" she then jumped from the roof to the club roof. "She sometimes frightens me," one of the men said. Scarab nodded, "yeah she has that effect. Let's move" he then jumped from the roof to an alleyway. The men followed.

Inside the Green Gecko was a VIP room closed off from the rest of the club. The music could be heard outside the doors and people chatting, laughing, and dancing. Inside the room was Corazon, four others all sitting around the table. One of the men was a stocky one with a guild crest in the shape of an oval with a beaker upon his chest. To his left was an older man with the same crest and thin glasses. These men were from a chemist guild that manufactured pharmaceuticals and chemicals for production. They also specialized in alchemy to help change properties of the chemicals. 

 And next to him was a woman in a white dress and long blonde hair. She smoked a cigarette and had a perturbed look upon her face. And the last was a younger man with a brown suit and combed back black hair. He had eyeliner upon his face and a pencil mustache. He dabbed some pink crystal powder on his hand. He sniffed it, held his nose and paused. His eyes widened, "Damn…that's some good shit!" He said with a smile revealing teeth covered in gold. 

"So when would you like the first shipment?" Corazon asked. "Well…let's see. I can be ready for distribution in a week. So bring it by the end of the week. How much?" He asked with leering eyes. "100,000," Corazon said with a serious tone. The pencil mustached man frowned. "Why such a low number? What's the catch?" He was suspicious for a reason. This man was one that bought new drugs and had an organization that trafficked drugs to people to automatons to other realms. He was a proprietor of all things depraved and stolen. 

So when he heard this price that seemed low when he was in fact buying a massive kilos of this drug Bliss. He was stumped and that number would come with a catch. It was not generous. 'I know this prince's reputation. This isn't some god damn favor he is doing me' he thought. Corazon smiled and waved a hand. "I want you to apprehend the Sun Demon for me. Use all means to find them amongst the underbelly of this city. Can you make that happen?" The man shrugged, "Finding a vigilante who has sided with the underbellies as you so called them? That won't be easy. I have competitors that have aligned with them. And now that your father has weakened the guilds, everyone is being more cautious. Some guild masters that have been killed were sources for certain products. But drugs will never go out of style" he grinned. 

"Yes, the guilds being attacked by the king is troublesome. I tried to let him see the repercussions of that action. I can assure you getting this rebel taken care of will be better for my business and in turn your own" the man shrugged. I'll ask around and can't promise anything. I'll expect a shipment every month at the same time by the way. Pay him" he said to the woman. She stood up and removed a ring with a pink jewel upon her hand. She walked over to the prince and extended a hand. The prince wearing another ring with a blue jewel grasped her hand and the money was transferred to his ring. "Fickle get this man's product ready at once" the stocky chemist stood up with the old man and left the room. Corazon was leading the man to the door when he heard gunshots. He and the man shared a look. Corazon ran to the door. His two guards were standing weapons drawn. "What's happening!" One guard stated, "Seems some of the guards up front are being attacked. All security is heading that way. Your majesty we must leave" one commanded. Corazon scowled as he looked closer to the front. He then saw someone with a yellow demon mask killing men left and right with a spear. 

None could touch her as was skilled and fast. 'I can't let them see my element. Corazon will know' she thought. She kept up with just using physical attacks. Coursing chi through her circuits enhancing her body. She dodged bullets maimed men before killing them. She kicked one through a window. 

People began to panic and then quickly ran out of the club. Corazon was then led to the back. Before they could reach the door a bullet then killed one of the guards. Corazon looked back and saw Sun Demon holding a gun taken off a guard. She then fired at Prince and the remaining guard. The last guard was hit in the shoulder causing him to stumble. 

Corazon wasted no time leaving him behind and running towards the exit. A bullet struck his calf and hip. Sun Demon threw the gun at a guard breaking his nose before she plunged the spear head into his chest. She kicked him off and was now standing alone with the prince crawling on the ground. 

Sun Demon hesitated and then stepped back, 'explosives' she said. She could hear sirens in the distance. 'Times up' she then ran to a building, scaled it and then ran across the rooftops far away from everyone's reach. Corazon crawled through glass and made it to the stairs when the entire building erupted into an explosion. Rock, glass, and metal flew about causing a ball of fire to erupt. Corazon was then thrown from the stairs to the street, hitting it hard and rolling away. He groaned in pain as he slowly sat up. He looked at the club in flames. 'My product…that son of a bitch came here for fucking product' he screamed in his head as he lost his money and product all in one night. 

He just made the biggest deal of his life and now he had nothing to sell. He punched the pavement and felt eyes looking at him. He looked up and saw Sun Demon staring down at him before fading into the darkness out of sight. He then sank his head back against the ground as Tin-men pulled up in vehicles and emergency personnel. Using the element of Aqua they began to work to put out the fire.
