796 A fool never learns (2/2)

Still, it was a distance away, but due to its sheer size, they could see it.

”Thank you for leading us to the demon tier beast; it will be nice to add another one to the collection.” Hilston said, and the three of them picked up their pace and walked ahead of the others.

”Wait!” Oscar said. 'We still haven't discussed the terms; I know you are powerful. I can see that, and I would be happy to invite you along to our hunt, but we have already made an agreement between the world leaders as to what to do with the demon tier weapon to be made. If you would like, I would be happy to add you to that agreement as long as everyone agrees, but we need to agree to these things beforehand.”

Immediately, Hilston started to laugh.

”You expect me to be part of some deal? Have you gone mad? The Blade family take what they want from who they want. That demon crystal, once we kill the beast, is ours. I thought you would be smarter than this Oscar. I thought you were complying when you were leading us here, but now I see it was all just a big misunderstanding.”

”You crazy old man!” Duke shouted at him. ”You really think that we would just let you have the demon crystal. Why would we agree to such crazy terms? Maybe all of that hiding has made you go crazy!”

Duke had been holding it in for a while. He hated when others disrespected the military, and even more so when they did to Oscar. A family they never heard of before, they couldn't be that strong, was what was going through Duke's head. Oscar was just a cautious person and sometimes too nice.

”Crazy?” Hilston repeated, and the mother and father Blade stepped back, pulling Sil with them.

Owen was now sweating even more than before.

'This is it; this is what I feared; I now need to make a choice of what to do.'

There were rumours passed along the big families when they learned of the Blade family, and one of those rumours and rules was never to say the word crazy in front of the Blade family. Not only had they said that word, but Duke had directed it at him.

Everything happened too fast. No one was able to react or see a thing. Suddenly, Duke's body was on the floor, his neck twisted at a weird angle, and his eyes gone.

The person standing over him, who was standing a few meters away just moments ago, was now standing over Duke's body with his hand held out in a grabbing position.

”Oh, I think it broke easier than a toy?” Hilston said.

Looking at Duke on the floor, Quinn could tell with his inspect skill, Duke was dead. His neck snapped in front of everyone there.
