The figure entered a dark alley where light barely managed to pass through and any normal human needed guts to pass by the alley.
In the depth of the alley, six more figures could be seen. Yes , those were the same men who were the culprit of the recent "accident."
The leader said in an impatient tone "Where were you ? Do you know how long we've been waiting for you ? We've already done our job so where's the money?"
The figure doesn't seem to fear the sharpening voice that was coming at him instead it took its time to slowly approach those men.
It says in it's deep and husky voice " Relax, what's the haste ?"
The leader got more impatient and screamed even louder " Relax !! you do know who we've just killed, right? She is the heiress of the one of the most influential group of the country and you're telling me to relax. " "If we get ourselves caught, we're done for. "
The figure stopped after they were only few distance away from each other.
On the dim light coming from the street light nearby. The figure was tall and was wearing a colombina masquerade mask which had half white and half blue base and had golden crystals embedded on it. Totally out of place in that dark alley.
The figure had brown hair and brown eyes which looked totally normal and average.
The figure lifted the corner of his lips revealing a smile and said " don't worry, it won't ever happen."
"How can you say for sure? " The leader threw another question at the figure.
The figure's smile widened even more and it said " Well !!, that's because you guys won't be alive for that."
The moment the figure finished its sentence, it snapped its fingers and ground began to rumble as if earthquake was coming.
From under the ground, few roots began to appear and in no time, those roots became humongous almost as tall as the buildings surrounding the alley.
Even though they were roots each one of them were as thick as the tree stems.
Plus those roots began to swing like crazy as if the mighty Kraken was on the loose.
Upon seeing the scene, those men began to panic and tried to escape the place.
The moment one of the men began to move, the roots reacted to their movements and immediately pierced through him, splattering blood everywhere.
This causes more panic and screaming between those men and they run around even more and the more they run around the more those roots reacted to their movements and the more those roots reacted to their movements the more piercing they got.
The figure was standing still on its place with its arms crossed, still smiling and enjoying the show in front of him.
At the end, only the leader was alive with scars and wound everywhere on his body.
He was standing still without moving an inch because after losing all his men he found out what causes the roots to move.
He looked at the figure and asked in a low voice in fear that even his voice would be noticed by those roots "Why?"
But those roots didn't reacted to his voice.
Upon questioning , the figure replied " That's because I never planned to let you go."
"You basta••••" before he could finish his sentence, the figure spoke again, this time the tone was on a scary side " and you tried to order me around."
"What" the leader confused voice surrounded the alley.
" Nobody gets to order me around other than my master." The figure said in a very serious tone.
After finishing the sentence it snapped its fingers again and the roots began to move towards the leader even when he wasn't moving.
The roots surrounded him and he knew he has no way out now.
The roots pierced through him multiple times until the body lost its heat.
The figure snapped its fingers again and the roots began to disappear underground and the figure turned around and walked away as if nothing happened.
