"How is that possible" mumbled The CEO who was witnessing something that should be impossible, a human teen beating up two adult-trained afros. The other Afro with Zike was the CEO's secret secretary who was sent by his master to help him if needed, but what happened here was that he was knocked down in 5 seconds.
Zike alone should have been enough as he trained mixed martial arts for 5 years and he was an afro whose strength is higher than any human, but he was getting beaten up too thought the CEO as watched Zike getting rear naked choked, and trying to tap out.
Watching as his trained subordinates getting destroyed helplessly got on his nerves more than it dumbfounded him but all he could do was curse "these useless idiots ".
The CEO saw Basem standing up after knocking down Zike and arranging his clothes Calmly as if nothing had occurred. then he saw Basem looking at him and then laughing triumphantly which provoked the ceo temper evident on the bulging veins on his forehead.
After seeing Basem ignoring him and heading to Ben the CEO lost it and with a crazed look, he took out symphony and aimed at Basem's head, and pressed the trigger.
Symphony is a weapon invented in 2070 and given to most higher-ups in every country around the world but it was forbidden to use except in self-defense. as after it has been used in any place in the world international security will be notified and head toward the place the symphony used then finding the owner of symphony they will interrogate about why he used and investigate themselves.
If it was found the symphony was on anything other than self-defense the owner would be taken to custody on the flying island to get sentenced depending on the severity of symphony use, it could reach life imprisonment or even a death sentence.
All of this because if symphony was used with low power and hit someone it could turn that guy into a dead shell as it directly affects the brain but its effectiveness varies depending on the intelligence of the target but if symphony was used with little more power it could vaporize a humans or even an afros body. what made it dangerous is that symphony could be carried everywhere as its size was so small that it wasn't noticeable under the clothes.
Back when the CEO pressed the trigger Basem was heading towards Ben happily but suddenly he heard in his head.
'WATCH OUT YOUR HEAD'
And intsantly Basem tilts his head to the right and just a millisecond later heated radiation passes by his head almost burning him then hitting his office metal door.
Turning back toward the CEO Basem shouted " Are you crazy, what are you doing using Symphony trying to kill me" "all I have to do is get the all-knowing eye and return to my master" responded the CEO with a crazed look, and seeing that crazed look Basem knew there is no going back it is kill or get killed but he didn't want to kill The CEO because even though he hates afros and hates the Ceo, even more, he couldn't just take a life easily.
Basem was in a dilemma so he had to ask his best friend and his trump card in any situation." what do you think I should do void" Asked Basem without opening his mouth as he was talking inside his head." I know you want peaceful solutions with no bloodshed but sorry we have none of that right now it is killed or get killed and if you hesitate you won't only endanger your life but Ben's life too"
Listening to Void Basem knew he was right and Void only wanted Basem's interest Basem knew that from years of living with Void and Void helped him countless times.
Void was Basem's ability that he discovered when he was 4 after his father left he found a voice in his head and he was so afraid that he told his grandfather and his grandfather got the best doctors out there to look into his grandson but they found none. Years passed and Basem and Void talked until Basem became familiar with Void and Void told him that Basem had more abilities to explore as he advanced his power when Basem asked how to advance Void response was when the time comes you will know.
Back to the fight Basem's only solution was to distract the CEO enough for him to reach him and hit the hand holding symphony because he could touch symphony or the weapon would know who touched it and will cause more problems for Basem.
So he looked at Ben and told him to keep insulting the CEO to distract him, Ben having complete faith in his friend did as he was told.
The CEO getting more angry kept shooting Basem but Basem with the help of Void kept dodging seemingly. But without the CEO noticing Basem was slowly getting close to him. Suddenly while Basem was getting closer a hand grabbed his leg looking down he saw Zike's bloody smirk as he mouthed "I got you" .hitting his face the hand loosened but that one second was all the CEO wanted aiming symphony at Basem's legs he knew it was futile to aim at the head and pressed the trigger
Basem saw the radiation heading towards him and he saw his life flash, he remembered his grandfather warning him to not mess with the Afros because they are dangerous and there is still a lot of unknown information about them.
'I am sorry grand fath." before continuing his apology he saw a back that looked familiar jumping in front of the radiation.
ZZZZzzzz
Was the sound Basem heard as he saw Ben face turn to face him and he mouthed "Sorry"
And his body vaporized.
Basem was in a state of shock and couldn't comprehend what happened it was only when the CEO's voice reached his ears "One pest is down one to go" that Basem understood what happened and tears poured down his face, and all he could do was look at the only remaining thing of Ben which was his underwear.
Basem couldn't fathom that he was the reason Ben died. void kept trying to bring Basem together but it wasn't working.
Suddenly Basem cried out
"Noooooooooooooo"
Then looked towards the CEO with a menacing stare and opened his mouth saying" You are gonna regret this"
