"It was... it was Mr. Death!"
--silence--
The n who were about to engage in battle, stopped... as they saw that both of their leaders stopped as well.
.
"Dammit!!!" Connor exclaid, imdiately scaring the already frightened Jas.
"Wha...what’s wrong big brother?"
"Tsk!
Dear little foolish brother.... do you know why I’ve been asking you this question?" Connor asked playfully.
Jas shook his head exaggeratedly, as he was still scared silly.
A while ago, he could’ve sworn that he had seen his life flash before his eyes... as Connor was just a few seconds away from slicing off his head.
The shock and fear had rendered his brain to stop functioning montarily.
"You know what?
I also hired Mr. Death to deal with Eli as well.
So tell , what does this an for us?"
Connor looked at Jas, who kept shaking his head like a lizard... and felt like beating him up.
How could such a stupid wimp, think of competing for the throne with him?
The heaven’s were really blind!
’What a slow brainless person’, Connor’s n thought.
’Pah!’
"It ans that we have been set up" Connor said, while smacking the back of Jas’ head.
And after a mont of silence, Ja’ eyes finally lit up.
"Ahh!... We were set up!!" Jas exclaid in shock.
"Oh for heaven’s sake!!!
Of course you were set up!!!" Yelled an annoyed mysterious voice.
.
Imdiately, everyone turned around to see who it was.
Connor and Jas’ eyes lit up, as they imdiately recognized who the owner of the voice was.
"It’s you!!!" They yelled.
"Sorry I’m late... I hope I didn’t miss the party yet." Said the mysterious Mr. Death, who was standing at the door with his n besides him.
Connor looked at Death coldly.... and tightly held in sword in anger.
"You.. you see us up!" Jas exclaid in fear.
"Yes Yes Yes... we’ve established that already.
Honestly, are you always this slow?
Even I am getting annoyed in explaining this simple logic to you!"
"You!!..." Jas exclaid in fear.
Yes, he was angry... but he was also fearful of Mr. Death and the n beside him.
"But why did you set us up?
Who are you working for?" Connor asked, while trying to mask his anger.
Death smiled underneath his mask, and walked slowly into the room alone... while his n stood at the door.
"Would you all like to play a ga?"
.
--silence--
The room fell silent, as the n were confused about what they had just heard.
Was it just them, or did this hooded assassin really ask them to play a ga.
Death smiled, as he watched their faces distort and twist from confusion.
In truth, the missions that he always enjoyed... were those that were ’Interesting’ to him.
This ti, his employer had told him to have all the fun that he could get.... so why not play to his heart’s content?
"Yes... a ga.
Are you all interested?"
Hearing that, the knights didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Did this guy bring them all the way here, just so that they could play so stupid ga with him?
I an, how lonely did one have to be to resort to this?
As they thought the way that they almost lost their lives in the previous battle outside, they almost felt like ganging up on him now.
"Screw you!!"
"Who the hell would want to play your sick gas?"
"Go to hell, and f*** your gas."
"__"
The n replied emotionally, as they yelled out at the top of their lungs.
Jas looked at Mr. Death in annoyance.
Why the hell would he play any damn ga?
Any mont from now, his n would burst through his building and rescue him.
Yes.... they would co for him.
"You all have no choice!
Right now, your n have killed each other during your previous battle.
And those that survived the ordeal, have already been captured by my own n.
Trust ... they were just a handful.
So to put it bluntly, you all make up 9/10 of today’s survivors.
Isn’t that exciting?"
Everyone was shocked by what they were hearing.
They had thought that maybe so of their n would co in and save them..... but sadly, their hopes had been crumbled down by this dastardly Mr. Death.
Silly.... since I was the one who brought you all here, then that ans that I have a way to kill any of you anyti I want.
Like I said... You don’t have a choice.
You either play my ga, or you die.
The choice is yours to make!"
.
Everyone quickly quieted down, as they now knew that this man had their lives in his hands.
Connor who had been listening to the scumbag talk, was finally convinced about their survival chances.
"Hmmp!...You said it’s a ga right?
Then what do we get for winning this ga?"
Death looked at Connor for a while before bursting out from laughter.
"Hahahhahhahah!
This is the first ti that soone has ever asked
this question.
Although you’re too hot headed, I still find you very interesting.
Yup.... I like you!!" Death said, while sizing Connor up.
"I wish I could say the sa about you... I hate you!
Not only did you not help
in killing my target, but you also set
up to die!" Connor yelled.
"True... but everyone dies right?
So am I really to bla here?"
--silence--
Everyone was truly baffled at Mr. Death’s shalessness.
Even Connor and Jas were shocked.
Was this still the sa mysterious guy who instilled fear in them previously?
Who had switched personalities with him?
But what they didn’t know was that Death was always cold and aloof... until he found sothing ’interesting’ to do.
A man like him had all the money, power and influence around him.... so he got really bored being the number one assassin in Arcadina.
Everything was easy for him.
There were almost no challenges, and his life was seemingly aningless.
Hence whenever he stumbled upon interesting missions, how could he not be happy?
.
"Alright.. alright... alright.
Enough chit-chat!
What do you want if you win?"
"I want to know who your employer is!"
As the knights heard Connor’s suggestion, they couldn’t help but nod.
Because if they ever survived this ’ga’, then they would definitely march up to the culprit and hack his body into multiple pieces.
"Well.... I can’t tell you who my employer is.
But I can leave you a single clue at the end.
How does that sound?"
Connor thought for a while before accepting.
The ball was in Mr. Death’s court, so he really didn’t have a choice to begin with.
.
Death looked at him and grinned.
"That’s more like it!!!
And just so you all know.... I’ll be keeping you here for a week and a half, before letting the winners out.
It’s not like you all have a choice here... so smile and loosen up.
Because soon, the gas will finally begin!!"
