106 Tying Up Loose Ends 2 (1/2)
The group looked at Catalina's corpse coldly. Although they felt off as they were the ones that killed her, they believed she deserved it for multiple reasons.
'Aaron, clean up the other one' Lachlan ordered. Although he wasn't too sure about whether or not they would be able to tame it after Catalina died, taking his unfaithful nature into consideration it would be dangerous to keep him with them.
Keeping the pressure up Aaron walked towards Lucifer, he stared coldly at Lucifer's eyes, Aaron walked slowly to terrorise Lucifer's mind and fill it with hopelessness. Once he reached Lucifer he quickly beheaded him, ending it as fast as he could.
”Sigh,” Simon heavily sighed at the scene, Simone then turned around and said, ”It would be best if we take care of the entire family, so they can't get their revenge.”
”Wouldn't that be going too far? They haven't done anything yet,” Zoe argued back, she felt as though killing the rest of the family was taking it a step too far, she couldn't come into terms that not doing it was dangerous.
”Of course it wouldn't, although it may seem that way there's nothing stopping them from getting revenge. That's just the way it works; we'll also need to get rid of as much evidence of us being here as possible, so that family of hers can't track us down or anything,” Simon explained coldly.
”But didn't you just say we're going to finish off the rest of the family?” Zoe asked in confusion as she tilted her head.
”Yes, but the fact that Catalina managed to get such rare beast likely means the real family behind her isn't all that small. Who knows? Maybe she's an offshoot of the main family, possibly been exiled as that would be the only reason she wouldn't have heard of us,” Simon said as he thought about the possibilities. If there was ever too much risk involved in something he would either avoid it or minimise the consequences as much as possible.
”If she's been exiled then isn't it unlikely for the family to come for revenge?” Lachlan asked as he turned back to Simon.
”Of course not, you saw her personality. Her family possibly has the same type, they won't accept the fact that we killed one of their own and would see it as an insult. That's just how most of those families work, especially when it comes to their children, ”Simon explained. He sighed deeply once more before walking away.
”I can do it if you don't want to,” Lachlan said as he turned his head to face Zoe, his eyes were serious. Unlike him, Zoe still hadn't experienced killing before, she either might not be able to do it or won't be able to cope with the guilt.
”No, I'll need to get used to this feeling soon or later; and later isn't good enough,” Zoe said with determination. She didn't want to be the problem if something ever comes up during their operations.
”Alright, go and search for the son, I'll go take care of the husband,” said Lachlan as he disappeared from the room, vanishing in an instant through his insane speed.
However, just before he left he made sure to check something he hadn't checked in a while. His stats. He looked at himself in the mirror, seeing the cold expression he was giving himself.

He had no weaknesses, not any obvious ones anyway. There was obviously still his attachment to Sarah and Phoebe, should either of them be injured he wouldn't know what to do and might just become an emotional mess.
There was also still his height and lack of combat strategy. Should they ever get into a large scale battle and he was the leader he wouldn't know how to properly lead anyone. Not to mention there was also the lack of mental warfare for business.
The only real good thing is that he's strong, strong enough that none of that matters right now.
As he was looking through his screen he was running up the stairs, once he reached the top he saw a group of guards armed to the teeth unconscious on the ground, likely knocked out for stopping the others from getting Zhang for the hospital.
He halted and walked over to one, he needed to know where the other boss was and this was the easiest way to do it. Lachlan reached down and grabbed the guy's hair, lifting him up so they're looking at each other face to face.
LIfting up his other hand Lachlan pulled back a finger and flick the guy in the stomach with his full strength. It sent a jolt of pain through the man's body, causing him to jump up screaming in pain as he curled up and grabbed onto his stomach.
”You're one of those people aren't you? What do you want?” the man said when Lachlan let go of him; he plopped on his arse before crawling back to the wall pointing at Lachlan. ”Stay back, I'll tell you anything or let you pass through just stay back.”
