Edward walked out of the portal with a distorted expression.
He clenched his fist in anger and slammed it onto the wall.
"Five years of hard work."
"For god sake, five years of my precious time was wasted."
"Why...Why?" He roared with bloodshot eyes and dug his nails deep into his palms while clenching his fist tightly.
"No, I can't let it end here. I still have a card. My greatest trump card."
"My secret organisations. I can take everything back."
"This is not over. Harry.....Brian...Alex."
"I will kill you.No, I will make you cry tears of blood. Only then will my heart experience peace." Edward mumbled taking out all his frustrations.
He walked through the dark corridor and asked all the members to gather up in an hour. Meanwhile, he had to take care of other things.
....
After teleporting to his basement, he sent his men to clear all his traces and destroy every piece of evidence that could leak information about his group and all his hiding places.
He even ordered them to destroy all those things that could trace his movements to the sponsors and the person whom he had contact with.
He thought of asking them for help but the people may think of him as pathetic and may even disregard him.
After clearing out everything, he walked toward the meeting place of the members.
He wanted to plunge the whole of Bright and Leonhart into chaos. He wanted them to burn to ashes.
Taking slow and steady steps, he walked toward the huge door and putting on the crow mask face, he opened the door.
CLUNG
Edward opened the door and raised his head to see the members.
However!
THUD!
With a loud thud, he fell on his back with his jaw wide open seeing the scene before him.
His leg went soft and he lost all his strength.
The entire meeting room had been dyed with blood.
Head, detached lips, fingers, and organs were all over the place as if they were garbage thrown around.
The pungent smell of blood reeked throughout the place.
The scene spoke in itself about what kind of horror transpired in the place.
It didn't look like a place where a massacre took place rather , it looked like a butcher shop filled with pieces of meat all around.
"Shall we begin the meeting Leader!"
Edward, whose whole world was spinning around his head, suddenly snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a playful voice.
With a dull lifeless voice, he looked up to see a man sitting on the chair with his legs on the big roundtable.
His entire cloth had been soaked in blood which had already been hardened.
Edward stuttered for a moment seeing the person.
"Dem...Demonsis."
"Is that you?"
"Why?" He asked with a trembling voice.
All his anger and all his arrogance that he had put up till now suddenly vanished.
"It's because you are an eyesore. I don't like you."
"What! For that simple reason, you did all this." Edward spoke and looked all around.
His body shivered in fear seeing such a gruesome scene that even gave him an urge to vomit.
"Nah!"
"Don't think that you can kill me," Edward muttered and pulled out another scroll but before he could tear something went past him.
He just felt a soft breeze brushing over him but soon something flew in the air and collided with the wall splattering blood.
Edward who was holding the scroll was onslaught with intense pain and shrieked loudly.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"Damnnnnn!"
"Bastard!My armmmmmm!" Painful groans escaped from his lips forcing tears out of his eyes.
He clenched his teeth and bit his lips until blood came out from them.
Veins bulged on his forehead and he sweated profusely.
After screaming and roaring like a wild beast while rolling on the pool of blood splashed from his missing arms, he asked"Why are you doing all this? You were my right hand. I treated you so well."
"That's also one of the reasons for which you lost your right hand."
"And soon you are going to lose more."
"Hehehee!"
A vicious smile appeared on Alex's face.
"Before I tell you the reason, would you like to take a look at my face?"
Gulp!
Edward swallowed his saliva. He had never seen Demonsis face who always refused to take out the mask.
Now, he feared that Demonsis might be someone who held a grudge or maybe he had done something wrong with Demonsis so he was taking revenge.
Demonsis stood up and walked towards Edward and squatted down before him and stared at Edward whose body quivered on receiving such an intense gaze.
He put his hands on the mask and took it out at once and shouted sticking out his tongue.
"Huuiiii!"
"Arghhhhhhhhh!"
Edward screamed in horror and jumped back like a frightened rabbit but his back clashed at the door and he was unable to move backwards.
He tried to close his eyes but the appearance of the face lingered in his eyes.
A burnt face that looks like a human skull.
"Sorry, for frightening you, Edward. That was not my real face."
"Look at me, this is my real face." The man putting on the mask opened it again.
"Hu...Hu.."
Edward who was grasping in shock opened his eyes to take a look.
Long golden hairs fell like water falling behind the back. Crimson red eyes along with a face that has been etched deep inside his heart.
Edward was so shocked that he lost his consciousness and wondered whether it was a dream but a loud slap woke him up.
He opened his eyes to see crimson eyes staring straight at him.
"Listen scum didn't I say that I am too hot to handle?"
"You didn't heed my warning and appeared before me like an idiot to play with fire."
"This world truly lacks daring daredevils like you who like to challenge death."
"But don't worry, I will grant your simple request but before that let's have a look inside the rotten brain of yours."
Alex couldn't have done it previously, but currently, Edward was just a fugitive and even if Alex killed him there would be no repercussions.
Placing his hands on his head, he tried to look for the clues.
Edward started to scream and felt as if his head had been ripped apart.
"Oreland!" Alex muttered softly as he got the name of the person who helped these scums and even asked Edward to play with him.
As soon as Alex took out his hand, he was surprised to see Edward still well and his mind had not been damaged.
The chance of this happening was 1 in 10,000 and these kinds of people have extraordinary mental strength or might develop it in future.
"A heartless person like you must surely have such strength, otherwise how can you overcome the inner demon and try to harm your father and use people as experiments."
"It's a good thing that you didn't collapse. I will play with you to my heart's content."
"You use slave marks to make them submit to you. Good, I have a way to get rid of it."
"After I control them, I will also let them play with you."
"I hope you have fun with them," Alex smiled, baring his white teeth.
But for Edward, it felt like a devil smiling at him before toying with him.
