Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Pablo and Draxus left ground 3 and they walked fast enough to make sure no one bothers disturbing them.

"That was close, czar. I have never felt scared like that." Draxus said. The relief was visible all over his face.

"That is what makes it fun. I also got to talk shit to that Ted. I feel good."

Pablo found the ordeal thrilling and that's what makes him different from Draxus.

Draxus shook his head. "That's why you are Czar and I am a lackey."

Pablo laughed.

"I also found this good, Pablo." Cupid said.

'Why is that?'

Cupid smiled.

"When Ted said that after you, your friend should take the test, you instantly looked at Draxus. You finally accepted Draxus as your friend."

'You are dreaming. He was the only one beside me so of course I would look at Draxus.'

"Yeah. Keep telling yourself that."

Pablo said nothing and Cupid was happy.

"Now we have to be more careful though. Only two are left. Let's take a day or two off." Draxus suggested.

"Also," He added. "Fozier still haven't seen the disappearance of Whitey and Jeffrey. Since you were with him all the time, he would not suspect you anymore."

Pablo remained silent.

Draxus had said his part but he was not sure if Pablo would agree to that.

"It'll be hard to kill Ted and Kony right now. They will be vigilant. Let's think of something tomorrow."

"Yes."

Draxus and Pablo kept walking at the same speed.

"Where are we going though?" Draxus asked.

"To meet Flashy and the others. I have to see some things."

Draxus nodded.

They were going to ground 10 where the Abyssal Butchers live.

Flashy, Nike and Hena would be there too.

"What about Sera?" Draxus remembered.

"She will stay in her room for now."

"Why don't you send her back to her house?"

Pablo sighed. "She won't go."

"Then make her join the army."

"As if. She would never join any other division if I am not there. And if I take her under my command, she will make problems for me."

"Then what will you do with her? I would say just marry her already. You don't find love like that anywhere."

"No. The only thing I am afraid of is love. I was never vulnerable the way I was in love. It messes with the head."

Draxus shrugged. "Your wish of course. If I had a girl like that, I would have cherished her."

"Yeah. Yeah. You are a green flag bastard."

Draxus frowned. "What's a green flag?"

"Forget it. I will think of something for Sera later."

"Okay."

They both didn't talk after that and soon, reached ground 10.

The settlement for the Abyssal Butchers was big. Bigger than those for the Marshals.

It didn't have tall buildings. Only ten small buildings were made horizontally.

Each building had a hundred rooms.

"One building for all the soldiers of ten marshals."

Pablo found building number ten and went there.

Rooms were lined one after another.

"Which room Flashy and others are in?" Pablo didn't know that.

"Call him." Draxus said.

Pablo was going to do that anyway.

He took out his Receiver and called Flashy.

Flashy told him that he was in room number 100, Hena was in 99 and Nike was in 98.

"Tell Hena and Nike to come into your room. I am also arriving there."

"As you say."

BEEP!

Pablo cut the call and with Draxus walked towards the last room.

He saw Nike and Hena coming out of their rooms and entering Flashy's.

Hena was hesitant to go inside.

'She is afraid of two boys. Makes sense.'

Hena remained standing outside the door, staring at the knob, not opening it.

"Let's go." Pablo arrived beside her.

Her eyes lit up.

Draxus smiled. 'I see.'

"Open it." Pablo said.

Hena nodded and opened the door.

They all went inside.

Pablo sat on the bed and the others sat on the floor.

"Is lady Sera also coming?" Hena asked.

"No. She is not. It's just us." Pablo answered.

Hena gave a light nod.

Draxus smiled again. 'More reasons of fear for Czar.'

Pablo clapped his hands, getting everyone's attention.

"Alright. First things first."

He looked at Flashy.

"Did you get your symbiote?"

Flashy grinned. "What do you think?"

"Answer the question or get out of here." Pablo was in no mood to guess.

"But this is my room!" Flashy retorted.

Pablo sighed. "Just tell me. Did you get it or not?"

"I got it. I got it."

"How was the process?"

"I don't know. They made me unconscious and the next thing I know, I had this…"

Flashy showed something.

From his back a black substance came out.

It was hovering in the air but it was connected to Flashy.

Draxus and the two slaves watched it with awe and disgust as the black substance seemed gooey.

Pablo also liked it and it was just like he imagined.

"What can it do?" He asked.

Flashy smiled. "It can take the shape of anything. I can turn it into a hand, I can increase its size and punch someone. I can cover my whole body with it to increase my overall power. It's great."

"Show me."

Flashy nodded and made various shapes with his black hand.

He made an extra hand then he designed an extra leg, then he wrapped it around his whole body, making him bigger and scary.

The symbiote was a success.

"Are there any drawbacks of using this?" Draxus asked.

"Yes." Flashy answered.

"What is it then?"

Flashy removed the symbiote from his body.

Then he held his stomach.

Everyone frowned and the next second, Draxus got to know the drawback of using the symbiote.

"Augh."

Flashy vomited on Draxus.

"This happens."

Flashy wiped his mouth and Draxus stayed sitting with Flashy's breakfast all over him.

The man didn't register that at first but when he did, he looked at his Czar.

"Can I kill him?"

Pablo chuckled. "Wash yourself first."

Draxus stood up and went to the bathroom.

"Don't give him the permission, Boss. I don't want to die."

"You just vomited on him." Nike said.

"He asked about the drawback. I can't help it but do that." Flashy defended himself.

Pablo opened his mouth to say something but…

RING!

A Receiver rang in the room.

"This fucking shit!" Flashy yelled.

"What is it?" Pablo asked.

Flashy held the Receiver and showed it to Pablo.

"It's the Second Marshal. He is calling again!"
