Chapter 180: The Leader of Team Rhapsody (2/2)
”Maybe,” Diego said smoking. ”The way I see it Alton wouldn't be here mourning over me so why should I do the same? We weren't close, I hardly knew him. I respect him for where he got, but that's where it ends. I have myself to worry about if no one is going to take that number one spot. Then I will.”
”You motherfucker…”
”Leave it Goro.”
”But…”
”No,” Blossom states, holding him back. ”He's right. Diego has no connections with anyone. All he cares about is his money and fame. Let him carry on. Just know when you die this won't be the same sight for your funeral.”
”Just how I like it. I've played my part see you all later.”
”What a prick.”
Blossom stared on conflicted. ”Diego's powers, he can see into the future, right?”
”Somewhat, why?”
”I wonder if he saw Alton's death.”

”The amount of people paying respects to a monster like Alton disgusts me. If they knew the truth, they would be thanking us.” Valhalla spat sitting on a park bench watching the crowds saying their goodbyes to Alton laying down flowers.
”No matter how we look at it, Alton did inspire quite a few people. Taking down corrupt streamers did speak wonder to the population.” Destiny exclaimed.
Valhalla glared at Destiny scoffing. ”You're joking, right? Taking down corrupt streamers yet he was still in the lifeline after all he did to you guys. What a hypocrite.”
Marco squatted down nibbling on a sandwich, shrugging his shoulders. ”No point crying over spilt milk. What's done is done. We can all rest easy tonight knowing that monster won't hurt anyone else. With that all done are we disbanding the group then?”
”It only makes sense. We created Villain's Wrath to seek revenge on Alton Brantley, with him dead we can move on with our lives.”
”With the little lives, we have left…”
”And what are we discussing?” Crypto questioned emerging from nowhere making the other members jump.
”Crypto sir… We were just discussing our next move. With Alton gone, we aren't sure what to do next.” Destiny explained.
Crypto stared idly at the fans shaking his head. ”To think Alton was hiding out here for so long. Why he decided to jump back into the shit show, I have no idea. But it is nice to see him doing something good for once.”
”Crypto?”
”No matter, our job here is far from over. We may have cut the tree, but it's roots still grow. We killed Alton, but now we must kill all respect for him. We will show the world the real Alton Brantley. Destiny, Marco. I feel it to be better suited if you were to handle this Team Rhapsody. Show them the right path to get them on our level. Tell them the truth.”
”You really think they will get on board with our plan? We killed their leader.”
Crypto held his chin, shaking his head. ”I hope they don't. I hope they cling onto the fake hope and high regards they saw Alton with. I want you to rip it from them and show this Team Rhapsody what true despair looks like. Show them the pain he made you feel. Anyone who allies with him shall know our pain.”
Marco stood up, throwing his sandwich away swinging his bat around. ”Cool. And what shall you two be doing?”
”Setting the bait for the things to come.”
