Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Pablo choked Flora.

She was being annoying by every passing second and Pablo knows fuckery when he sees one.

So, he decided to do what he does best.

'Use it.'

He commanded his system.

[ Mimesis Malefica In Use! ]

[ Hold the Target for five seconds! ]

Pablo was already holding the target.

[ Showing you the Target's memories! ]

Pablo's eyes flickered as he saw everything Flora did to this point of time.

All of it stayed for only five seconds and after that…

[ Ego Successfully Copied! ]

[ A large amount of life force taken from the target. ]

[ You copied this Ego for the first time. Copy it twenty times more to steal it forever. ]

Pablo didn't pay any attention to the notifications and finally let go of Flora.

Then without wasting any time, he commanded his system once more.

'Show me the Ego.'

The System obliged.

[ Mind You (Red) : You can now control the minds of people who stay close to you for more than ten days. And after every month, the Ego resets so you have to use it on the target again. Or you can simply make your target's mind free from your control if you have no use of them anymore. ]

'I figured it would be like this.'

Pablo glared at Flora who was on her knees, coughing.

"What did you find out, boss?" Flashy asked, struggling to hold his dad in place.

"Your father is really a puppet of this woman. His mind is under her control."

Flashy's eyes widened.

"My dad is.."

His eyes darted to his struggling father with the symbiote and seeing such a state of his dad, he gritted his teeth.

"You bitch!"

Flashy strided towards the sitting Flora but Pablo stopped him.

"Not now. Only she can free him. Only after that can you make your father see your worth."

Flashy bit his lip.

He took deep breaths, controlling his rage and when he finally was in the right mind, he raised a question.

"If my father is her puppet then why did he want to adopt you? If he has no brains of his own right now then it couldn't be his idea to adopt you, could it?"

Pablo sighed. "You can do the math yourself, Flashy. Your dad is her puppet so his words were of course never his. Your father was speaking on behalf of this woman."

Flashy's brows shot up.

"So she wanted to adopt you?"

"Yes. She acted like she didn't care about me. But she wanted me. She wanted a successful man like me. And that's not all, you will be shocked to hear what she actually wanted."

Flashy gulped. "What she actually wanted? What is it?"

Pablo glanced at the sitting Flora.

"If I had accepted the adoption offer, she was planning to seduce me, marry me, have all the money, power, fame. She was not looking at me like a son, Flashy. She wanted me as a man."

Flashy's mouth went agape.

He couldn't process what he just heard.

Meanwhile, Flora, she jolted up from the floor.

She shifted many steps back from Pablo, gasping and trembling.

"How do you know all this? How did you get to know everything about me? Who are you!?"

The genuine article resides on M|V|L&EMPYR.

"But Boss, why didn't she seduce you from the start? She could have done that from the moment you arrived here?"

"Yes. But she knew that I am not an idiot who would fall for the charms of a woman. So she decided to first adopt me, take her time, and then she would have taken control of my mind as well. It'd be a win for her in the long run."

"She really is the worst of them all." Flashy's hate intensified for her step mother.

"Now you know how rare true love is in this world. Be grateful you have Sera." Cupid chimed in.

'Not now.'

Cupid said some more things but Pablo paid no mind to her.

"If you know all this then how do I cure my dad? He is in too much pain. Who knows for how long she has been controlling his mind?"

"Ten years." Pablo revealed.

Flashy's heart sank.

"Te-n years?"

"Yes. For ten years your father has no clue what is happening. Really, he is in too much pain."

"We have to save him, Boss. Tell me. Tell me what to do."

"Only she can undo her Ego on your father. And knowing her, she won't do it."

"Yes. I will never do it. Kill me if you want. But I will never do it!" Flora grabbed a knife and pointed it towards Pablo and Flashy.

She was still far from them and she wouldn't let them get close to her.

"If you both let me go I will think about freeing that man. Let me go!" She screamed.

Flashy looked at Pablo for the next step.

"What should I do, Boss? Help me. I don't even know if my mother is alive or not. Show me the way, like you always do."

The man begged for help and Pablo, in return, placed his hand on Flashy's shoulder.

"You have been with me for months now. You know how to deal with things. Just think what I would have done in such situations and do it. You have the means and strength for that. And about your mom, just know that if you do it my way, you will find her too. Just use your hatred."

"I will find her? Does it mean… my mom is.."

Pablo nodded.

That's all he did.

He didn't say anything, just a nod.

And that nod was enough for Flashy.

He clenched his fists.

"Hold back dad for me, boss. I will be back."

Pablo smiled. "Sure."

Flashy shifted his gaze at Flora and the woman shivered under that.

He then began walking towards her, while slowly making the symbiote let go of his father's waist.

"No. Don't come near me! I will kill you! I will kill you!" Flora stepped backwards. She constantly stepped backwards.

She never saw Flashy like what she was seeing him as now.

That man had murder in his eyes.

The symbiote completely let go of Gerald and went towards Flora.

It reached her legs and the next second, Flora found her legs spread open.

"You want to adopt a son, right?"

Flashy stood just in front of Flora and the man unzipped his pants.

"How about I give you a natural one instead?"
