792 Thunder God Gang (1)
The overcast sky in Japan was getting darker as a sign of heavy rain. Elysia hatches a plan for Evelyn before her friend jumps into action.
“Here, you have blessings from me and my master. We will be watching you from a certain distance, but please be careful.” Elysia raised her palm close to Evelyn’s face. She casts some blessing magic to provide anti-lightning protection.
“Okay, I will complete the task entrusted to me without fail.” Evelyn nodded slightly.
“Save your daggers. We’ll enter through the back door and go straight to that vile man. It’s still noon today, and you have no choice but to challenge him in his domain.” Nana put her hand on the shoulder of the executioner who was about to leave.
She could only consider this frontal assault plan stupid, but she shouldn’t judge the others when she had no power over them. Since these executioners would do this, she would watch what would happen next with great interest.
“It would be easier to sneak in and ambush him, but fine. Lead the way.” Evelyn glanced at Elysia and agreed with the suggestion.
Nana came out of hiding and guided the executioner into the secret bar through the back door.
Elysia used her invisibility and went after Evelyn from behind.
“Isn’t it time for us to go follow them? Eh, e-eh?” Darkness looked to the side, but she was left alone! The other person left without saying anything to her.
“Uh, I feel neglected. That girl with a nature spirit seems to be Elysia, but why is she so cold? It’s not like when we first met.” Darkness muttered under her breath and flew into the bar, using her little bat form.
“Hey, look. Isn’t that the sexy nun roasted by our boss a few days ago? I’m surprised she’s still alive after dealing with the thunder fury.”
“You’re right. She came with someone suspicious. Does she want to challenge our boss again?”
“Assassins who come out open during the day? Seriously, that must be a joke, right? Hahaha!”
Several core members of the Thunder God Gang mocked Nana openly.
“Wait a minute, rude nun. Where is your courtesy to visit without greeting or prior appointment. You can’t just meet our boss because he’s busy right now.” One of the burly men blocked Nana.
“Get out of the way.” Nana gave a warning once.
“You and your friends should go out. Our boss isn’t in a good mood. He could accidentally kill you, you know.” The burly black man near the entrance of the VIP room warned.
“I told you you should leave right now. We don’t have time to deal with someone as troublesome as you. We have mercy on you, but that’s only for once.” A core member brandished his gun. Several others stood in their positions, ready to fire.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
Evelyn threw her dual daggers, splitting the guns in two. She pulled her daggers’ chain and moved her track for a follow-up attack.
As everyone was stunned, she went towards the VIP room steel door and kicked it open. She went down the stairs, and Nana immediately followed her in silence.
“What’s that? The one just now…” The guard near the VIP door looked at his neatly cleaved gun.
“Goddammit, that assassin is a real dangerous! Then, our boss is in danger. That unreasonable nun brings that person for revenge!”
“We have to tell boss right away!”
The gang members rushed into the VIP room to confront the two uninvited guests. One of them immediately contacted their boss regarding it.
“…” Evelyn walked through a hall like a nightclub with many perverts and prostitutes. She was slightly annoyed by the unpleasant smell of alcohol and drugs but ignored everything else.
“That person is in that room.” Sora whispered near Evelyn’s ear.
Evelyn stopped in her tracks, and a dozen people instantly surrounded her in a circle formation. Those people carried sharp, blunt weapons and even firearms.
“We don’t have time for you.” Evelyn clasped her palms together, creating a thunderclap with a gale blow that blew everyone around her away.
“Indiscriminate, huh…” Nana was also blown, but she swiftly flipped in the air and landed perfectly.
Evelyn opened the wooden door and moved like the wind. She darted behind the mafia boss behind his desk.
“Wha- What the hck is this!?” The nearby fat man gasped in surprise at the sudden arrival of someone.
“I was busy doing business, and you came to me to assassinate me? This is a bad way to get revenge, Nana, yo.” The mafia boss didn’t budge even though he knew a sharp dagger was near his neck.
“They came because they were after you, Thor.” Nana spread her arms as if she didn’t know anything.
“Hm, looks like giving you mercy in our last fight didn’t teach you a valuable lesson. Don’t expect you to get out of here alive then.” Thor sighed.
“What? So this is a matter of grudge? Then, I shall take my leave!” The fat man fled from there with his tail between his legs.
“Ah, a big customer ran away because of you. How are you going to compensate for my losses? Even if I sell you as prostitution, it won’t cover my losses.” Thor smirked.
“So, that person wants to buy prostitution slaves? It seems, you will fall today and lose everything. I’m surprised you are so polite when the executioner has put her blade around your neck.” Nana smirked too.
“Executioner?” Thor frowned, and the warning letter that came yesterday flashed through his mind. So, that thing was an actual warning?
“Yo, executioner-san! I didn’t know you came sooner than I thought, but allow me to speak before anything else.” Thor instantly acted as if he was talking to an old friend.
“Why should I listen to you? You’re just a big bad guys with lots of sins.” Evelyn responded in a cold tone. She tried to find Elysia, but her best friend was nowhere to be seen. Therefore, she didn’t know what to do because she didn’t have the technique to extract the chess pieces.
“Haha, I’m just a businessman doing business. I know you want to eliminate me from that game, right? However, I’m a dedicated person and respect the strong. If you want to get what you want, then you have to beat me first in the arena. If I lose, you I will give up my participation rights. However, if you lose, you must leave here naked and never come back here even if it’s from your comrades.” Thor tried to negotiate. He could tell that the executioners were a group of strong people.
‘Eve, accept the challenge and defeat him in his own arena. I will monitor you from a certain distance. Right now, I will free the humans who will be sold into slavery or prostitution. It would be a rebellion for their freedom. This place will be destroyed along with Thor’s defeat. You can do it, Eve~’ Elysia waved her hand from the corner of the room. She knew Evelyn could see her.
“Fine, I will defeat you and destroy you. You may use dirty tricks or vile things, but there are always consequences for your actions.” Evelyn let go of the mafia boss’s neck.
“Haha, then we’ll settle this in the arena.” Thor held his neck. He tried not to grin as the executioner had fallen into his trap.
Evelyn, Nana, Thor and the gang members went to the underground arena. However, Elysia went to free the humans who were imprisoned like slaves. Elena suggested a plan to destroy this place.
“What will you do if this place is destroyed and you are released from here? Will you achieve your own destiny or just surrender to the circumstances? How deep is your hatred for that abominable gang?” Elysia spoke in a whisper-like voice to the people being held in a prison room.
“It’s too beautiful to be true. I’ve given up on my crushed destiny. But, if possible, I want to destroy that person’s face.” A handcuffed lady snorted sarcastically while smoking a cigarette.
“Then let’s see what you can do. You still have hope. This place will be destroyed in five minutes, and the police will surround this place. You better make use of this opportunity well.” Elysia smashed the prison door, and everyone’s handcuffs. She then left like a shadow.
Yet, the people in prison were stunned for a few seconds. None of them thought that those words came from outsiders, not the mutterings of the desperate people inside the prison. They didn’t even know how that person came and went.
“Hck, yeah! If that’s true, then this daddy shall bet to live! Who’s going to go with me? You people with no future, do you want to wait to be sold into slavery by those despicable or grab your own future?” An emaciated man lifted an iron rod from a severed prison iron bar.
“The risk is there. We’d better wait five minutes and see what happens next. We can’t just risk it all. I don’t know who just came and asked us to escape, but that person seems like an expert who will take revenge on this despicable gang.” A dull woman suggested in a flat tone.
Meanwhile, Evelyn and Thor were already at an underground training ground where espers used to do sparring practice.
They stood facing each other. Thor was ready to attack with killing intent as his opponent was an influential mysterious person.
“Is that your weapon?” Thor sneered sarcastically.
“My dual daggers are more than enough to beat you fairly.” Evelyn prepared her stance. She would finish this quickly.
She could tell Elysia was there, watching her from the top stand. In her heart, she wished to impress her best friend because she might be praised like the others.
“Hehe, I hope you don’t die too quickly and disappoint me. I am known as a Thunder God for a reason.” Thor drew his gun and military-grade knife.
