Bab 115: Chapter 59: Rome Residence (Part 2)

Abgere casually sits on the sofa. If he wasn't wearing his devil mask, he may just look like a normal person. However, he IS wearing that mask, and for a reason. He can see Alexa walking up to the room where his father is supposed to be and then knocking on the door and saying something. He can't hear what she said but he can guess.

Abgere: "Well, that should take care of that."

He says, but just as he does, he finds himself surprised. The man, Julius Rome, does step out of the room and sees his daughter's shaking figure but instead of calming her down, he slaps her hard enough for her to fall down. Seeing that, Abgere's whole body shakes for a bit as he says,

Abgere: "Hah! Like hell would it take care of anything!? Had I forgotten who this asshole is? He is a freaking Hellfire! And even worse maybe!"

He chides himself for being too naïve.

He sees that Julius tells his daughter to get up and then slaps her again to throw her back down. Then, he walks around and kicks her stomach. With elbows on the sofa's arms and his hands gently placed on each other, he shakes with contempt as he looks at that revolting scene.

He soon sees that the man went inside the room and the girl seems to be walking back towards him.

Abgere: "Poor girl!"

He remarks while there is no one to listen and then,

Abgere: "Alexa Rome, RIGHT?"

He says loud enough for her to hear and grabs her attention. He then motions her with his hands to come over. The girl meekly drops her shoulders, looks down and comes to him. Just by seeing that, he can tell that this girl hasn't been treated very well by her parents.

Abgere: "Is your father coming?"

He asks in a cold voice, as to take care of the business first.

Alexa: "Y-yes!"

She meekly replies.

Abgere: "I see. Then have a seat. Please keep me company until he's here."

He says to the girl. Whether she interprets it as a request or an order, it's up to her but Abgere says so in a clear and plain voice. The girl seats herself in the sofa facing his and keeps looking down.

As he looks at that girl, at the daughter of a Hellfire, he sees a poor soul who was treated less as a human being and more as a punching bag.

Abgere: "Can I ask you a few questions?"

He says that in a calm and plain voice and the girl first looks at him in a bit of surprise, and then nods.

Abgere: "Do you know what your father does for a living?"

He asks plainly.

Alexa: "He hasn't told me everything but, he works for a tech firm named Vermillion and … has a really important position there."

She says in a frightened and elusive voice.

Abgere: "I see. What about your mother?"

Alexa: "My mother?"

She looks at him in confusion and a bit of irritation. To which, he just plainly replies.

Abgere: "Yes, your mother. What does she do?"

Hearing that question, she gulps, tries to collect herself, and says,

Alexa: "I am told that I was given birth to by a woman that Daddy once slept with. That woman's name and who she was is irrelevant as she died after leaving the responsibility to raise me to Daddy."

As she says that, the vortex of emotions inside her finally erupts and she is unable to hold herself back from crying. Abgere can clearly understand from that that Alexa wants to know more about her mother and feels sad for her but she is never told anything else by her father and can do nothing about it.

Abgere: "I see."

And so, just like the girl is trying to, he suppresses all his emotions and answers in a plain voice, sparing her the pity that will only increase her sadness.

Abgere: "Tell me,"

He asks as he shifts himself from a sitting position to having both hands at his legs and leaning forward to level with her height.

Abgere: "What is your father doing right now?"

He asks a question that he is almost certain about knowing the answer of. And so, going by if his assumption is right, he is asking a cruel question, a very cruel question.

Alexa: "He is … he is …"

She is unable to finish her reply again and stops even trying to reply. That, in itself, was enough of a reply that told him what that man was doing.

Abgere: "I see."

And then, the door to the bedroom opens up again and a man comes out in proper clothing, unlike the previous time when he had nothing but a towel on his lower half. It is stupid to even question who this man might be.

Julius: "What? Who is it?"

He says as he looks at his daughter, who immediately gets off the sofa she was sitting on. As he comes near her, the first thing he does is punches her in her face, throwing her down.

Julius: "Why the heck were you just sitting here!? Why didn't you offer our guest anything?"

He yells in an angry voice.

Alexa: "I-I'm sorry!"

She replies, trying to hold back the cries and the shaking of her body but,

Julius: "Of course you are, you swine!"

He says as he kicks her at her pelvis once, and then again, and again, and again, and again. He kicks her so much he starts feeling his legs have gotten heavier.

Julius: "What the heck is with these legs now!?"

He yells in anger to which,

Abgere: "It is fine, Mr. Rome. I didn't really come here for hospitality."

Sitting on the sofa, with no reaction as to everything that just happened in front of him, Abgere finally speaks something and in a calm and plain voice as well. Hearing him,

Julius: "It's kind of you to say that but this brat-"

He stops mid-sentence as he turns to look at the man sitting on the sofa, and freezes up for a moment. The devil masked killer of his fellow Hellfire is in his house, sitting on his sofa and watching everything as if some kind of god writing down a person's karma for the sake of passing down the correct judgment on Doomsday.

Julius: "What … are you doing here?"

He asks cautiously. And to that,

Abgere: "Deciding your final verdict, for all the sins that you have done."

He says without any reaction at all, in a calm and collected voice. In response, Julius clicks his tongue and,

Julius: "Ha! Ha! HAHAHAHA!!!"

He starts laughing arrogantly and casually walks back towards his bedroom while dragging Alexa along by holding her from her hair. The girl writhes in pain but his father does not care. Abgere gets up and follows slowly behind.

Julius: "You are quite the joker, aren't you, Abgere?"

He says sarcastically as he turns to look at Abgere. The devil gives no response.

Julius: "Hey! Uh, what's her name … oh yeah, Marissa!"

He calls out to the woman in his bedroom to come out. But as she doesn't immediately do so, he lets go of Alexa and walks back into the room. A voice of 'THUD' comes, as if something or someone hit the wall and immediately afterwards, Julius walks out with Marissa following behind, holding her head in pain and looking down.

Julius: "Yeah, so … bitch, meet this guy!"

He points at Abgere as he looks at Marissa. She knows enough to not defy anything he says by this point and so immediately looks at him as instructed.

Julius: "His name is Abgere. This is the guy who killed a Hellfire named Gin Hanks."

He says while chuckling.

Julius: "You remember how I beat you up last night. It was because of this guy that I had become so angry."

He says while chuckling.

Julius: "And now that I remembered that, where are all the marks I left on you yesterday? Let's show our guest the amazing fruits of his labor that were given to you, instead of him, because of his absence."

He says in an annoyed and giggly tone. Marissa meekly replies,

Marissa: "T-That wasn't me."

Julius: "Eh?"

Julius frowns and bashes Marissa's head in the wall. Then he goes on to press his hands on her head enough for her to start continuously shrieking in pain because of it.

Julius: "What the heck does that mean, you bitch!?"

He asks in an irritated voice.

Marissa: "AAHH!! AAAAHHH!!! I-I'M NOT LYING!"

She screams in pain as she says,

Marissa: "I-IT WASN'T ME. IT WAS WHITNEY!"

She screams in pain as Julius lets her go.

Julius: "Oh right! Sorry about that, bitch! You should have reminded me sooner."

He says in an overly-excited voice and then looks back at Abgere.

Julius: "You know … I'm not the type of guy who is satisfied with one ass. I need more than one at a time."

He says while he looks at Abgere with a bit of a taunting smile.

Julius: "So my most recent ones are Marissa, that bitch hugging the wall like the horny slut that she is,"

He says while he points at Marissa, who has fallen to her knees, as she barely keeps herself standing by holding the wall. And as Abgere turns his eyes to Marissa, Julius moves back to the wall at the other side and puts up a hand on the top of the wall, which reveals itself to be a white cover instead of an actual wall.

Julius: "And this right here is Whitney!"

He says with a smile as he brings the cloth down, revealing an aquarium of fishes and blood. And in between them, there is a naked woman, a dead woman.

Julius: "See? Isn't it fantastic?"

He says with a smile akin to that of a psychopath doing his favorite thing in life. And then, having seen all that, Abgere merely sighs, stretches his limbs and asks in a calm voice,

Abgere: "You ready to die yet?"

Hearing that, Julius stops laughing and looks at him, with a big frown.

Julius: "I wanted to ask the same damn thing."

He says as he tightens his fists and just as he does that, as an application of psychokinesis called magnet manipulation is applied; all the steel objects attract themselves towards Abgere. Within those objects, there are knives, swords, blades and many more.

However, Abgere just shrugs and says,

Abgere: "That was stupid of you!"

He arrogantly sighs and pulls his hand back, and with the same magnet manipulation, ends up putting a big knife through Julius' knees.

Julius: "AAAHHH!!!"

As Julius loses his focus, all the metals fall down on the ground.

Bab 116: Chapter 60: A Good Name (Part 1)

In an unknown prison in an unknown desert, there were cries of anguish and shouts of pain, but never ever was there a gleeful smile. Once in this prison, the prisoners never saw the light of day again.

No one, ever, left this prison. No one ever was released. And no one ever successfully escaped. This was a prison, where only those whose lives were decided to be insignificant and expendable were kept.

The crimes, however, that they did to end up here were not something you'd imagine.

Murder? No.

Rape? No.

Homicide? No.

The crime that those brought here had committed was the same sin that Adam and Eve did. They gained knowledge.

They came to know about the existence of supernaturals. And since there's a risk of them telling about it to someone and the rumors starting to spread, they need to be taken care of. So was the reasoning of abducting them and putting them in a prison that they'd never get out of. So was the reason that a pair of father and son were brought there.

Father: "Sir, please! Please listen to me, sir!"

He pleaded while on his knees as he saw someone looking like a high-ranking official coming their way.

Father: "Sir, please sir! Let my son go! Do whatever you want to me! Please let my son go!"

The father pleaded and,

SPIT!

The official spitted on his face, laughed and then said,

Julius: "Do you know who you are talking to, scum? I'm Julius Rome, one of the 10 Hellfires in Vermillion, i.e., one of the strongest people alive. And you dare think that you can open your mouth in front of me."

He looked down, as if he's looking at an insect, and continued,

Julius: "You dare think that 'sir' is enough for you to address me."

Father: "No, no, I'm sorry."

The father pleads with tears in his eyes.

Julius: "Don't be. It just goes to show how much of a fool you are."

He says as he puts his leg on the father's face and twists it.

Father: "AAHH!!!"

Julius: "Tsk!"

He moved the same leg to kick him on his right cheek and said,

Julius: "What a disgusting voice you have! Fool!"

He said as he spit again.

*******************************

Julius: "AAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Julius shrieks because of the impact of the leather running at high speed against his skin.

Abgere: "You have a really good belt, you know? The impact it gives is just so satisfying."

Abgere says with calmness, a terrible calmness.

Julius: "Yeah, I know. It's branded."

He says with a smile like that of a tyrant. But this tyrant is, at present, tied with ropes whose first ends is on the two different corners of the house and second ends on his hands. One can even, aside from the fact that he is not in air, say that he is being kept like Jesus was on the cross.

Abgere: "Branded, huh? Well, yeah, I can feel the quality just by touching it."

He says and swings it again, giving an impact that he could proudly say is his best hit so far.

Julius: "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

And the cry that comes because of the impact only further proves that. As he looks at the belt, Abgere says with the same calmness as before,

Abgere: "Too bad your voice isn't even half as good as your belt!"

*******************************

Father: "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

The father shrieked because of the impact of the leather running at a high speed against his skin. The man in the thirties responsible for it proudly said though,

Julius: "That was my best one so far."

He said and laughed, the others around him, the Volcanoes and the Embers, laughed.

Julius: "By the way,"

He said in a tone as if he was joking,

Julius: "Why are we beating this guy anyway?"

As he said that, everyone in the cell except the father laughed. None of the people in that room actually wanted to laugh. Instead, they wanted to look away. They wanted to puke. They wanted to run away. But, they couldn't. They laughed, because that is what Julius Rome desired of them.

Julius: "Oh, I remember now,"

He said in an excited voice,

Julius: "He and his son saw a Spectre trying to kill a kid, right?"

He asked over-excitedly. All those around him nodded with fake smiles as if to show they were enjoying that.

Julius: "Who was it, by the way? Kares-something?"

Then, in order for the act to keep going, someone answered,

"Ethan Kales!"

Julius: "Ah, yes, yes, yes. Ethan Kales, these two saw a Spectre trying to kill Ethan Kales, right? Man, so unfortunate!"

He said with a sympathetic face, a fake one of course.

Julius: "I mean, we don't even know what's more unfortunate, the fact that they saw that or the fact that …"

He swung the belt 360-degree and hit the father as he continued,

Julius: "Or the fact that they were sent here when I was visiting."

Everyone, yet again forcing themselves to do what they didn't really wanted to do, started laughing.
