"That was fucking fun!"
The King was laughing. No. He was hysterical.
Pablo never expected the King to look like that.
Usually he was all scared like a cat around Pablo but now it looked like the King was getting accustod to Pablo.
"So you liked it?" Pablo asked.
"Liked it? I loved it. These Marshals were always mocking around. And then there was that Damascus. All my life I took orders. I hated that."
"So you hate taking orders from ." Pablo said.
"No. No." The King hurriedly waved his hands. "That's not what I an. It's just the real King always dictated my steps. I couldn't even lift a finger without his orders. But you, you are different."
Pablo frowned. "How so?"
"You only tell what you want and leave on my own. After that, I have to co up with plans. Just like today, this plan of Boulder threatening Fozier's soldiers was my way of making him forget about this case."
"I see. That's good then. If you like it then you'll have more fun for a couple of days more."
The King raised one of his brows.
Pablo smiled. "Yes. Four more of his soldiers will die in the coming days. Take care of that as well."
"Wait. Four more? Why? And why only Fozier's soldiers? You can choose so other Marshal too. You do know that it's a taboo for military n to kill each other, right?"
"I know. But four more will die. I have no other choice."
The King sighed. "What if Fozier found out? And worse, what if Admiral Harlia found out?"
"We have to make sure they don't find out. And there's one more thing, I have killed the son of the second Marshal as well. He was ssing with ."
"What?" The King looked in the sky. "First and the second Marshal both will be out for your blood. Does the second Marshal know you killed his son?"
"Not yet, I think. I have given the Receiver of the second Marshal's son to Flashy and since I faced no problems from that Marshal till now, I think Flashy is doing well."
"All of this will blow up soon. Do everything carefully, Pablo. I am not as smart as you but I know how to run away from danger."
"You are too young to advise , old man. I will call you again if need be."
"You are calling young and old at the sa ti." The King laughed and turned around.
"Tell this," Pablo spoke. "After you sent Boulder away, you started calling my na around the room. How did you know I'd be here?"
"I was sure you will certainly follow Fozier to see his reaction at Dilinger's death. I just used my chance."
Pablo nodded. "And why are there guards around this mansion? Does this happen with every murder that takes place here?"
The King looked over his shoulder.
"Of course not. I assigned guards around this mansion and as soon as any guard saw Fozier, he inford . Then with Boulder, I ca here in ti."
"Good thinking. You can go now."
The King nodded and left the red room.
"Wait." Pablo called from behind. "Do you know soone who can burn everything?"
The King stopped and turned around.
"Yes. Many of them."
Pablo gave a nod. "Call one of them here. We are going but you will stay here and burn this entire mansion down. No evidence should be left."
"What about this General's body?" The King asked.
"Everything. Fozier will co here again to investigate. He should find nothing." Pablo said.
"You are right. Fine. I will call soone right now."
The King took out his Receiver and touched the screen several tis. Then he raised it to his ear.
"Co to the General's Lombard mansion as soon as possible."
BEEP!
The King cut the call after his order.
"He will arrive soon."
"Well, take care then."
Pablo started descending down inside Draxus' shadow.
"Will you not stay to see it?" The King asked.
Pablo shook his head. "If I stay here to see it then I have to kill the person who will burn this mansion too. I leave no loose ends as you know. So if you want to kill the person you just called, then I might stay here."
"No. You can go. I still rember how you killed those royals and that guard who had nothing to do with that."
Pablo shrugged and finally dropped inside Draxus' shadow.
Draxus was already inside his shadow as he knew Pablo won't stay in the mansion forever.
The King was left alone in the red room and Draxus' shadow finally left the mansion.
"Where to, czar?" Draxus asked.
"Fozier must still be close." Pablo said.
"So we are doing it today as well."
"Yes."
No words were needed anymore as Draxus moved his shadow towards the military camp.
Soon, they saw a group of black uniford soldiers and Draxus went closer to them.
"Give a pebble." Pablo said.
Draxus obliged and moved the shadow where so rocks were lying.
One of them fell down inside the shadow and Pablo caught it.
It was a dium sized pebble.
"Now go." Pablo held the pebble and Draxus' shadow moved just behind the group of Abyssal Butchers.
Pablo peeked out of the shadow and morized the positions of everyone.
Then without looking, he threw the pebble out and it hit the leg of one Abyssal Butcher.
The pebble was small enough to remain unseen by everyone and big enough to be felt if soone got hit with it.
The Abyssal Butcher slowed down his speed and looked left and right.
The other soldiers kept walking and after a few more seconds, the Abyssal Butcher also proceeded his walk.
But now he was at the back of the line. He was behind all the other Abyssal Butchers.
And behind this Abyssal Butcher was… Draxus' shadow.
The black circle ca beneath the feet of the Abyssal Butcher and in a tily manner, it gobbled the Man.
Draxus and Pablo kidnapped one more Abyssal Butcher.
