Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Pablo and Flashy knew that the entrance and exit from the Ego Reserve was at different places.

But they stayed just in front of the Ego Reserve building. Nike and Hena would come to them. Not the other way around.

After getting their Egoes, Nike and Sera left the Reserve from the backside and did a roundabout to reach where Pablo was.

They found Pablo as his uniform stood out from the rest of the people.

Both slaves came towards Pablo and Pablo asked them right away.

"What's the news?"

Nike answered first.

"Dark red."

Pablo smiled. That was the third highest rank of Egoes.

"That's higher than me. Mine is Brown." Flashy said.

Nike shrugged and Pablo moved on to Hena.

Hena looked down and shared her rank as well.

"Gray."

Pablo frowned. He didn't remember any rank like that.

He looked at Flashy.

"First time hearing it." Flashy also had no idea.

"The mirror said that I am unique and I have believed in fairy tales since childhood. So it also gave me some unique color as well." Hena explained.

Pablo turned his head at Cupid.

"The mirror does strange things. You never know." The Angel only said that.

Pablo sighed. "As long as it's useful. I don't really care. Let's go."

Pablo turned around and started walking.

Hena walked beside him and this time, Flashy and Nike walked behind them.

"How will we find out what our powers are?" Nike asked.

"I will tell them tomorrow. Till then try to find them yourself." Pablo replied.

"As you say." Nike would take it easy till tomorrow.

After becoming Pablo's slave, he didn't feel like a slave at all. He was never asked to do chores or any weird things.

What he had heard about slaves turned false after meeting Pablo.

Of course, he still had to obey Pablo's command but he never asked anything out of the ordinary. He could at least do that for his master.

"What will we do, now that we got our Egoes?" Nike asked.

Hena also paid attention. She wanted to know too.

And Pablo didn't make them wait too long.

"You will become Abyssal Butchers under my command."

"What?" Nike exclaimed. "But I have never killed anyone."

"Are you talking about me too?" Hena asked as well.

"Yes. You two will join the Abyssal Butchers tomorrow. I am two soldiers short. And you will learn how to kill eventually." Pablo had already made up his mind.

"Oh. So that's why you killed two soldiers." Flashy spoke.

"No. Their deaths weren't planned. It just happened."

"Fair enough. Welcome aboard, anyway." Flashy patted Nike's back.

Nike couldn't say anything anymore. Pablo was his master and he had already made his decision. Nike had no choice but to obey. He was a slave after all.

"Well, it's better than becoming a sex slave of a Royal." Nike said.

Pablo nodded and glanced at Hena.

"What about you?"

"I.. I don't mind. You already gave me your word that I won't be touched." Hena was also in.

"It's settled then. I will make the arrangements. Let's go back to the camp."

Pablo increased his pace. He won't indulge in further conversation with Hena. She was dangerous.

"What about my father, Boss?"

"We will meet him later. Or if you are that eager to see him, go meet him yourself. I won't stop you."

"No thanks. I am not wearing a diaper right now."

"You wear a diaper before meeting your father?" Nike asked.

"You don't know my story. I will tell you later."

"He gets shit scared when he sees his father. Hence the diapers." Pablo chimed in.

Nike and Hena laughed and Flashy complained along the way.

Soon, they reached the road towards the camp and at their far right side of the road, a quarrel was taking place.

Pablo looked and he recognized something.

The Dogs.

He had such green dogs with muscles before.

He looked more closely and his eyes fell on the nameplate outside the mansion where the quarrel was taking place.

On the nameplate, the name written was :

General Lombard.

'I heard this name before. The dogs, the house. I have seen them. Who is he arguing with?'

Turning his attention to the second man other than the General, Pablo tried to find his identity.

A carriage was placed behind the man and that was all Pablo needed to figure out.

'It was the carriage driver. His son and wife were killed by this General. I remember now.'

Pablo had taken a carriage to arrive at the military camp for the first time and after he had arrived, he had killed the carriage driver because he had called Pablo his son.

The carriage driver was telling Pablo to not take revenge in the military. Pablo remembered everything.

"So what if you remembered it? Will you kill the General now?" Cupid asked.

Pablo didn't reply. He turned to Flashy.

"Do you remember this general?" He asked.

"No." Flashy had no clue.

"Remember that carriage driver whom I have killed. The one who was telling you the story of his son and wife. How this general fed the driver's son to his dogs? Remember?"

Flashy stayed silent and the next second, his eyes lit up.

"Yeah. That guy. Now I remember. This General is evil, Boss. Let's kill him."

"Not so fast. Let's see why he is arguing with another carriage driver."

Pablo walked towards the General.

Flashy, Nike and Hena followed him.

In a second, Pablo arrived behind the General.

"What's the matter here?" He asked.

"Get the fuck out of he-"

The General turned around and ate his words back as soon as he saw Pablo.

"Er… Marshal, good afternoon." The General greeted.

Pablo looked at the man and the man was not fit to be in the Military. He was fat from his neck to his toes. He was obese.

His dogs were inside his mansion and they were growling at Pablo.

"What is going on here?" Pablo asked.

The General joined his palms. "This man is complaining that I have his daughter and his wife. Just a mere carriage driver complaining to me, a man of the military. Can you believe it?"

Pablo looked at the carriage driver.

The driver was in tears, his jaw clenched. He wasn't afraid of Pablo. He was full of rage.

"What do you have to say about that?" Pablo asked the driver.

The driver glared at Pablo.

"You military bastards think you can do anything with us. Just because you killed the Demon doesn't mean you have become God. You will also side with this scum. I know. I know."

The driver's hands trembled. He didn't know what to do with all his feelings. He was powerless.

"Where is your daughter and wife?" Pablo asked.

The driver pointed his finger at the General. "They both work at this bastard's house and they haven't returned home for five days. No one is helping me. I am sure he has them inside his house. I want them back!"

"Lies! He is lying, Marshal. They already left five days ago after finishing their shift. They are not in my house." The General said his part.

Pablo looked at both men and nodded.

"I understand."

The driver spat on the ground. "You sided with him too. What do you understand?"

Pablo sighed, he ignored the driver and looked at the General.

"I accept your confession. But this man needs some assurance. He thinks his wife and daughter are inside your mansion so just to give him a peace of mind…"

Pablo put his hand on the General's shoulder and smiled.

"Let's search your little house, General."
