While Oliver was still surprised by the revelation thatAlex was actually Richter's grandson, he and the others suddenly felt something dangerous was right behind them. The four of them quickly got their weapons out and went back to back with each other to cover their blindspots.

Someone was here, and it was someone on the same level as Hektor or possibly even stronger. The only people stronger than Hektor at his full strength that are alive, were only a few. Yet all of those people were monster in human skin. The four of them who had their guards up heard footsteps echoing through the alleyway.

At the corner of the alleyway they saw a hooded figure with a scythe at hand, the scythe wasn't the typical war scythe nor was it the same as the scythe used for farming. The scythe the hooded figure carried was the same as the one the Reaper of souls carried, it was a death scythe.

Each of the four then directed their guns towards the hooded figure. All of them knew who this person was, this was a person who had a similar status as Hektor inside the organization. He was a person with a mysterious origin, that only Richter knew of. No one in the organization even knew his name, all except for Richter.

The person who was most loyal to Richter, his right hand man, the person everyone called the Executioner. He was the one who dealt with all traitors inside the Shadow Mercenaries. The only traitors he allows to live, were the ones that Richter has approved of.

The executioner was now face to face with the four traitors. His face covered by a mask and only his eyes could be seen, his cold brown eyes which was looking directly at the four.

”James Bourne, Raphael Rihan, Joseph Herald, and Kris Braun. Our leader, Richter Greyhound, has told me to give you four one last chance. He ordered me to tell you four to accept your punishments and return to the organization. If you do not comply then I was given the privilege to decide the fates of you four. So what are your answers?”

”Sorry, but I can't go back to such an organization. Not only did you guys kidnap my friends, one of your members is planning to destroy humanity, and the old man is allowing it. Such an organization needs to be destroyed.” Oliver answered with a smile on his face.

”I'm with Oliver, my mission and the organization's mission no longer coincide with each other.” Specter gave out his answer as well.

”Heh, we might have the same goals, but the way you guys want to deal with it crosses a line a cannot cross.” Joseph spoke while frowning.

”I can no longer follow the crazy old man. I always thought he was someone worth following, because of his overwhelming strength, but turns out he was just an insane old man.” Kris answered while shrugging his shoulders.

While answering the four never let their guard down, since all of them were extremely wary of the Executioner. The man in front of them has never allowed a person to escape his grasp. He was the only one Richter truly trust as his subordinate. The old monster even commented once, that the Executioner was the only one he approves as a worthy subordinate.

That alone showed the quality of the Executioner's work. Hearing the answers of the four former members of the Shadow Mercenaries, made the Executioner sigh as he got his scythe ready. He then pounded the flat end of the handle onto the ground.

” Very well, I have heard your answers... The four of you are all accused of treachery, as your judge, jury, and executioner I have decided that your sentence to be death.” When the Executioner said this he suddenly threw his scythe.
