Chapter 59 - The Don And The Nestle Favor 2 (2/2)
”He's waiting in your office. Make sure to entertain your guest,” Venus deadpanned. ”Waiting for me? I am a bit confused too. But I don't re― Oh, I'm terribly sorry,” Chief Zamor apologized again.
'Aren't you the one who sent the paper? When you become senile, you won't know it, huh. Poor old man, you need a break,' Venus commented inside her head.
”Reputation takes a lifetime to build, but only seconds to destroy. Remember that,” Venus touched his face, and her fingers slowly slid down from his cheek to his chin with a dreadful meaning. Then, she passed him and left the building. ”T, thank you very much, your excellency,” Chief Zamor overjoyed after the door shut in front of his eyes.
”Chief, are you alright?” a henchman asked. ”Get off of me. Boys, never tell about this, okay. Not a single word will leak outside. That's an order,” Chief Zamor walked away and climbed up the stairs, leaving his men with a confused face.
Outside of the building, her attendants bowed down and followed their master in the gate.
Ylla noticed her master's legs were about to collapse, so she rushed to assist her.
”Gotcha. Are you alright, your excellency?” asked Ylla, worryingly. ”I, I'm okay. I just need some rest. Take me back to the inn. I want to see the children,” Venus touched a hand on her forehead.
”Your excellency, you pushed yourself too much. Don't do that again,” Ylla begged. ”I'm terribly sorry. But I have to exceed my limit to reach my goal, you see. I know you girls are afraid of what I did. I showed you a terrible scene out of my character,” Venus scratched her cheeks and giggled.
'My liege, I'm not scared at all. I'm just.... Never mind,' Ylla bit her lower lips.
”Your excellency, I'm sorry for being scared like a puppy earlier,” Daliah rushed at her side and apologized. ”It's fine. You don't have to lower your head,” Venus waved both of her hands to stop her.
'I'm glad you're still the same master,' Ylla simpered inside her head.
”My liege, what happened to you?” Mambo rushed to her side and looked at her. ”She's tired. Where the hell is our pick-up?” responded Ylla as she lightly pushed him away to give some space for their master. ”It's on the parking lot,” Mambo answered politely.
”Let me pick up her skirt. It will dirty her beautiful gown,” Daliah volunteered. ”Thank you, Lady Daliah,” Venus simpered as she accepted it.
On the upper floor, someone received a small letter in her hand. It had a seal of a butcher ax, symbolizing its affiliation.
The Verdugo clan underboss sent a brief mission to their spy. Her name was Ilona, one of the enforcers of the organization.
She still wore her receptionist uniform, but inside of her dress, there were tons of knives, two smoke bombs, and a small bottle of poison.
Her role was to gather information and created a ruckus within the village. With her ability and beautiful face, she mastered her full potential to infiltrate the place to control the flow of information promptly.
She received the content and accepted it without a question.
'The boss is thinking the same thing, huh. I pray to God that the stupid Hermes will take the bait,' Ilona commented ferociously.
Her honey trap plan wasn't that hard since the chief was a simp. He was corrupt and easy to distract with her beauty. Single father was easy prey, to begin with.
However as the chief was aging, his mentality was also greatly affected her standing in society.
She professed everything to corner her target, but her useless toy was unable to secure victory for her place. The simp was easily shut down by a mere young maiden.
The mortal enemy of every woman was a woman, after all.
As was closing in, she had to fulfill her duty to clear the path. It was to eliminate the young Don named Hermes Archnemesis.
She left no other choice, but to end this by herself.
'After everything I did, I sacrifice my body to ensure the power that I needed for my mission. I swallow my pride over my duty. Eating the tiny little thing and letting his fluid come into my womb is the small price to pay for. But never mind, he's cute so I don't care at all. That stupid priestess creates another loophole to delay our plans. I have to end this once and for all,' declared Ilona inside her head.
A black shadow hand tapped her shoulder. Out of surprise, she jumped in a distance, and later she took the courage to face the person who touched her.
”Who is it?” asked Ilona, preparing to intercept. ”Fu~fu~, worry not, Ms. Ilona. It is I, the informant,” the black human-sized figure appeared behind her.
The creature was still using the voice of an old man.
Its body was composed of black miasma, and the black aura was dancing according to its heartbeat.
”What are you doing here, informant?” Ilona lowered her guard down as she asked the black creature for information. ”I am here to assist you in your objective. Two heads are better than one, you see,” the informant answered promptly.
”D, did the underboss send you?” queried Ilona as she sat down on the chair of the chief. ”No, but you don't have to be wary. Both of us have some interests that linked us together. I have a business with your target too, you know. I am here to end it too,” the informant responded with an expressionless tone.
'What does he mean?' Ilona questioned inside her mind.
”Hmm, they are coming, but they are not the gift that I wanted to receive. Ms. Ilona, I recommend hiding behind that closet. We have some uninvited guests to our party,” the informant pointed his thumb at the door. ”Huh? I don't get it, but if they ain't friendly, then I have to comply,” Ilona walked closer at the closet, opened it wide, and entered it.
”By the way, it appears they are not ordinary people. Hmm, my sister is coming closer as well. But those animals are smell delicious. However, to make things look fun, I have to hide too. I don't want to ruin the set of events. Now then, give me space,” the informant joined her inside the closet. ”I don't understand your principle, but whatever. Let me remind you, mister. Don't touch anything in my body or else,” Ilona warned before she shut the door of the closet.
'I ain't a mister anyway, and I'm a straight lady. Unlike your filthy body and my new master, my heart was already captivated by my former master. So in short, your entire body is already below the depth of the abyss, girl,' the informant commented inside her head.
'Who's coming?' asked Ilona inside her head.
The door was opened silently, and four armed men entered sneakily.
The informant cast a spell around her body, and the strangers failed to trace her position.
'W-What the hell is going on?' Ilona was bewildered.
”The room is secured, sir,” one of the henchmen reported. ”Good, that's convenient,” the elder turned visible when he appeared.
The four men scattered around the place, and they positioned themselves steadily.
”Come forth, devil. Let's end this right here, right now,” Elder Kilo's lips upturned as he waited at his target. ”Come, I cannot wait to send you to hell.”
'Elder Kilo?' Ilona was dubious.
After the priestess left him alone, the young Don lifted his head and grabbed the door.
”Is our defense ready, slime?” asked Hermes, gravely. ”Yes, master. The host of the party is inside. Be alert for the upcoming presentation,” the slime answered.
”Set it in auto mode,” Hermes reminded. ”Affirmative,” the slime followed.
As he opened the door, a small box dropped on the floor. The newspaper fell down on the office table, and the headlines started to scribble a word.
<<Virus Detection: Six challengers entered the Boss Room.>>
<<Virus Objective: Rip them all until it's done.>>
