Chapter 334 - WIND OF CHANGE (3) (1/2)

'What if I refuse?' he asks once again.

Loki was smiling and then without warning suddenly he slam his hand on the steel table and the sound echoes inside this investigation room and then he stares at Ezzio, his face is so close at him and Ezzio could see the anger and wrath in Loki eyes.

Then Loki said, his voice is cold and severe

'There are a lot of things I could do to you Ezzio. But I know your story. You lost your family. Life….is a burden and death is a release. I get it. But you couldn't kill yourself could you? But you also could not let other kill you. You have too much pride to be killed by your enemies. You wanted revenge. I helped you on that matter.'

Ezzio was not intimidated as he shot back

'And I have paid.'

'You did' Loki said smiling a mysterious smile.

'But this is not about old debts. You ask me what I would do if you refuse right?'

He leaned back backwards, his eyes seems to be looking at Ezzio coldly. There is a cruel smile on his face that would make one shiver in fear.

'I could list one hundred ways to torture a person but I know you. You have e nothing else in the world for me to leverage against you. There is nothing I could threaten you with. You do not value your life and as such I could not use it to threaten you. I could threaten to cut your tongue, to scoop out your eyes, to pour molten metal in your ears but none of that would scare you'

Ezzio scoffed

'You wouldn't do that Trickster' Ezzio said confidently

'Oh. You seem confident' Loki said looking amused at Ezzio confidence. Ezzio then said

'You might be many things Loki, but inelegant isn't one of them. You always considered yourself above the fray even when dealing with criminals and the cartels. You travel in the crime underworld, being chummy with crime lord, selling weapons and buying weapons and do all manners of questionable thing which is odd considering you are one of Death Monarch people. You did so many questionable things that you got everybody convinced that you are one of them. But I know you. You never considered yourself like them. You are not a brute. If not you would not imprison so many people here.'

'Heh' Loki scoffed and then said

'True…I am not inelegant' and then he grins and said

'But if you think I imprisoned them with the intention of reforming them, then you have just made another mistake'

Then smiling Loki said

'You do not fear death and you do not fear your life ending because you have nothing to live for. You have nothing to fight for. So, do you know how I will make you talk? Simple. I will let you go'

Trisha hearing this was shocked

'My lord, I don't think that is a good ide-' Loki held up his hand and then said

'I will let you go Ezzio. And then I will wait.'

'Wait?'

'Yes, I will wait. I will wait until the pain in your heart has settled that the scars in your heart are nothing but a scab. I will wait until you found something to live for. Maybe a woman. And maybe it will be something else. You might even find someone else to love years later. And I will still wait. I will wait until you live happily with that woman, having many children together with all the great joy and blessing the world could possibly give you…..and then I will come'

And there is a certain madness in Loki eyes that is now unconcealed when he is looking at Ezzio.

'I will come like the cold hard winters of Ragnarok and I will reap their lives in the most gruesome and painful way possible for you to watch. I will let you hear their screams and their pain. I will turn your joy into your worst nightmare. I will turn all the blessings into curses. When you were at your happiest, I will be there and turn that happiness into ashes and dust, and the life you built is actually built on pillars of salt and sand'

Hearing this Ezzio turned pale in his face. Even Trisha look at Loki weird.

'And when you ask me why I did it….I will answer…Why do you refuse at that time?'

And then with a malevolent grin Loki said, staring sharply at Ezzio eyes. Ezzio eyes is wavering and shaking.

'You were right about one thing. I am not a brute..….But I can be.'

Gulping Ezzio then said

'Then what if I never fall in love or have nothing to live for? Will you still wait?'

Loki smiles and said

'To vow yourself to never find love or something worth living for?' Smiling Loki said

'Then I did not even have to kill you. You are already dead. For someone like that what is the difference between them and dead people anyway?'

Then sighing Loki got up from his chair and look at Ezzio.
