Chapter 92- Countdown

V was confused at first as to why the man suddenly looked at him that way. However, he didn't dare to move especially when his boss was seemingly staring daggers at him.

"You said he cut your hand off, right?"

"Yes, sir. But what does that ha-"

Before V could finish his words, the man grabbed his hand and pulled it up. "You said you have stopped the bleeding. Why is it bleeding again?"

V's eyes s.h.i.+fted to look at his lifted hand. There, he could see some blood leaking out of the amputated arm. His face immediately s.h.i.+fted as he suddenly had a bad hunch about this.

"You moron." Murmuring so, the man suddenly squeezed his arm before he suddenly shoved his fingers into it.

"AGH!!" V's face twisted from the sudden surge of intense pain but he didn't move as his boss kept searching inside his amputated arm as if it was some kind of personal bag. Blood leaked out of the arm as it trickled down V's sleeves, coating them in a red color.

A few moments later, the man pulled his fingers out, and in them, rested a small black object, coated in blood.

'A listening device! s.h.i.+t!' V realized the huge blunder that happened. He just made a huge mistake.

He didn't know when or how Kai planted it into his arms but what confused him even more was the fact that he didn't feel it inside his body at all. He had completely tricked him without even showing a sign of doing it!

Looking up with a pale expression, he noticed that his boss didn't seem to be giving him any mind as his whole mind was focused on that little object.

Suddenly, a voice came from the little device.

"As I thought, it was you… Grey." The voice was cold and domineering even though it was coming through a device. It was as if the moment that voice resonated inside the room, it took over and completely shattered Grey's control over it. He lost control over his own dojo!

"It's been a while, f.u.c.ker. Did your coward a.s.s finally decide to show yourself, huh? After all these years of hiding away like a chicken." Grey's tone was filled with mockery and hidden rage that he was barely being able to control.

"Give up on trying to get Eva Lavine. You won't be able to." Kai said, ignoring all the provocations Grey tried to set up for him.

"Hahahahahaha! Did you forget me this quickly? I always get what I want, b.a.s.t.a.r.d. That girl is way more valuable than you could ever imagine. Hand her over and I might stay away from your fragile quiet life."

"Refused. She's under my protection. If you try to get her… I will come after you. The only reason you're still alive is because I didn't know your ident.i.ty. Your Executioner helped a lot being the bait I set up to get you to say what I want to hear." Kai said making Grey clench his fist slightly.

"Ohoh, you have no idea how much I've been waiting for this moment. I will definitely get that girl and then make you fight me to death. This time, it won't end up the same way it was 5 years ago." The man's hand slowly lifted up and touched the huge scar on his face.

"You can't kill me."

"Hahahahahaha! You know, Black Phantom. You are a monster of a kind. I will give you that. However, you forgot something. I'm a monster myself. I have dedicated the last 5 years to honing my skills. Eva Lavine's powers are simply the crown jewel of all my hard work. Using her, I will be able to rise to heights this world had never seen before." A flash of maniacal look appeared on the man's face. "You should've tried your best to kill me the last time, b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

"Now, it's either me or you. There is no third choice."

"We will see." After saying that, Kai's voice was cut off and the connection was severed.

Then, out of nowhere, the device exploded into bits and pieces as it oddly pierced Grey's tough skin. The device was made of Leviathium.

"UGH!!" Grey's face contorted as he grabbed his arm.

Looking down, he realized what Kai had done. The skin on his hand was turning blue.

"He filled the device with poison." Murmuring to himself, he quickly moved his other hand and slit his wrist. Blood oozed out of the injury to the ground.

With one look, the two men could see how swiftly it turned blue as it dripped down.

"Hah… Blue Death… That f.u.c.ker…" Grey's face was changing colour quickly but he didn't seem to waver at all.

However, even V knew how devastating that poison is. It was by far the strongest poison in the world and it was called 'Blue Death'. It was made out of a rare plant that is only found in extremely cold places.

Since Origin is a very raw and natural power, it's found in its purest form in the most extreme of regions whether hot or cold. So, this plant would absorb that raw Origin and quickly turn it into a lethal toxin that could kill any creature with a mere speck of it.

"Sir, should I…"

"No need! This poison is nothing! That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is underestimating me!"

Grey's aura erupted like a volcano. His eyes shone with a terrifying light.

"It's war… Black Phantom!!"

Meanwhile, back inside Kai's apartement, the latter sat down on the sofa next to Eva. The two stayed silent as Eva instinctively closed the distance between them.

"May I know how you came to know such a man?" She asked.

"Bad luck. Battle junkies like him always search for the thrill of fighting stronger opponents. He could never beat me so he ended up becoming obsessed with the idea of killing me. Grey is a dangerous man."

'A dangerous man.' Hearing that from Kai's mouth, Eva could only imagine how strong he was.

"But, why did he say you 'Should've tried your best to kill him'?"

Resting his face on his hand, Kai's eyes turned sharp.

"His main talent is annoying to deal with. That's why, I was never able to finish him off."

"I see…"

As the two stared at the closed TV, their shoulders touched occasionally before Eva's head finally rested on Kai's shoulder.

"Thank you… For protecting me." She suddenly said as she closed her eyes. She couldn't express how grateful and happy she was at that moment except with a 'Thank you'.

She wanted to apologize for dragging Kai into this but she knew that he will immediately refuse her apology so she simply enjoyed his warmth silently. The boy didn't say anything either.

"Together… Let's put an end to this, ok?" She said.

"That's what will happen," Kai replied.

"Mm, I know. I trust you completely. This plan will succeed."

Every time she thinks about it, it seemed quite absurd what they were going to do. Yet, for some reason, Eva didn't feel a shred of uncertainty or fear. Knowing that her beloved was the one who made that plan, she trusted him blindly.

'Maybe after the end of all of this, I can invite Kai on a vacation on a faraway island? Mmm, that sounds like a good idea.' Just the thought of the two enjoying their time together made her smile happily.

The countdown for the fateful day that will change the whole underworld started. A war between a man and an organization was about to begin, opening the veils of a past that was hidden over the years.
