"So, Brianna currently has four sets of wings and arrows, including her own, and my situation hasn’t changed, which means Burnaman’s collection of wings and arrows all went to one person," Trevor said softly. Trevor and Revel were both analyzing the number of devil candidates that were left, focusing on the ones with the most wings and arrows."Someone out there has as many wings and arrows as you and Brianna combined, or very likely they have even more than that," Revel replied softly with his hands folded together."Yeah, what happens if their demon is of special rank?" Trevor inquired softly."If it turns out I have to face two purple arrows, I sure hope the owner is nothing like Burnaman and Charles. What would Mr. Kevin have done in this situation?" He added.Revel flew closer to Trevor."Don’t worry about it too much; everything is going to be fine. I mean, you and Brianna have survived so far," Revel responded in a low tone."I guess so," Trevor mumbled.******************The
Later in the afternoon,Brianna and Trevor were sitting down behind the dining table that was in front of one of the mansion’s entrances.There were multiple foods on the table."If I remember right, you used to like sandwiches, right? Especially egg salad," Brianna said with a smirk as she gazed at Trevor."What? I did?" Trevor inquired; he didn’t recall liking egg salad sandwiches."Yes, on a preschool trip one time, you gave me one of the egg salad sandwiches your mother made, I said they looked good before I knew it, I would eat both mine and yours," She explained softly.Trevor leaned forward and grabbed one of the sandwiches at the center of the table."Oh, that’s right, I do remember you eating all my sandwiches," Trevor replied with a warm smile as he stared at the sandwich in his hand."Wow, you finally smiled; you’ve been so upset since this devil candidate thing started, and Mr. Charles and the other guy dying right in front of us also made everything harder on you," she sai
"That demon, what’s his rank?" Trevor asked softly with his gaze still fixed on the television."He’s first ranked," Revel answered swiftly. Revel remembered Crimson from the demon meeting.******"I must ask Stanley, based on what you said, does that mean you also wanted to kill yourself?" The reporter asked."No, I wasn’t into that idea at all; I was just an ordinary grade school student. I always got along fine with the students in class, at lunch, and even at recess. One thing though, I was part of the second-class group of students who didn’t have phones," Stanley narrated with a furrowed brow.He went on to explain that he got along with people at the school, but he didn’t have close friends and that everyone was busy doing their own thing. His parents both worked all day, and he would be at home alone until about 8 p.m. in the night, and after a while of watching TV and playing video games, he didn’t enjoy all those things anymore. He started to feel lonely, and one night when
Meanwhile in Brianna’s living room"This is insane," Trevor said softly."It’s a child's solution, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea," Mordecai replied from behind Trevor."It’s usually a trap when someone says to come forward," Revel argued.Back at Stanley's vantage point, he flew forward, towards the camera."We should get as many people as possible to go out there and look for those devil candidates and identify them; we need to choose the next devil candidate soon, otherwise who knows what could happen?" Stanley spoke softly.Trevor and Brianna gasped. "So the hunt for devil candidates has begun," Trevor murmured."This is unexpected; it sounds like this boy wants you to become the devil king," Brianna said softly."If all the remaining devil candidates get together and nominate Trevor, is the process over?" She inquired as she turned to look at Revel."It’s necessary to have everyone’s support; it’s essential for the candidate to want to become the devil king, and of course, you
I don’t want to fight anymore; I want to live a simple life with you, just the two of us together forever; nothing would make me happier than that," she stated as she hugged Trevor tightly and looked into his eyes.Trevor grabbed her hands and said, "I’m sorry, we can’t run away. Mr. Kevin has been on my mind a lot. I’ve been thinking about what he would have done in this situation; he wouldn’t run, so I won’t run either. I will stand up and live my life. I’m not certain about it yet, but I have a feeling happiness lies down that path."Since we have never appeared out of costume, nobody would be able to tell who we are from those images that are circulating the internet. We can attend classes just like we always did; no one will ever suspect a thing," Trevor explained, staring into her eyes.Brianna nodded in agreement with everything he said. "Sounds good; we will do whatever you say,"********************Two weeks later,Trevor was walking down the street, heading home; he was car
"Why should we help you? I mean, think about it; we have no way of knowing if you really intend to protect these people," Trevor said calmly."I will say it again: investigators and spies from every country in the world are coming for you, especially you, and do you want to know why?" Henry inquired.Trevor’s eyes opened wide; he was staring at Henry with a side-eye."Because so far, red is the only one confirmed to have a purple arrow, and with that kind of power, all manner of scenarios become possible. You are a lethal weapon, the world’s greatest assassin," Henry explained."You are a much more attractive option than nuclear weapons, and that’s why everyone wants to find you. The power to kill people with the flick of your wrist could cause a global crisis; I want to prevent that; if you are captured, it’s over; some countries would think of brainwashing you and then turning you into a robotic killing machine, and this country would too, believe it or not," Henry explained while s
"Even so, I wouldn’t be too worried, sir," Henry said."Huh?" John raised an eyebrow with his mouth wide open."None of these people are targeting government officials," Henry answered. After meeting red and yellow, Henry knew that they were genuine people and that they were not a threat to society, so he wanted to assure John that he shouldn’t be too worried about red and yellow.*******Henry and Racheal were working down the hallway, heading out of the FBI building, and Racheal was walking behind him."That was a very plausible-sounding excuse you came up with," Henry said calmly."I cannot allow Mrs. Brianna to be placed in harm's way," Racheal answered. Hearing this, Henry turned and looked at her with a side-eye as they kept walking.I've never seen such a look in Rachael's eyes before; this is the power of the devil candidates; no wonder they're such targets; such ability shouldn't exist unchecked. Nobody should be allowed to acquire it, Henry thought as he focused his gaze in
"This is the lady that was captured recently. She was the first candidate to surface after Stanley’s statement was broadcast; her name is Lily Greene, and she’s an unemployed 23-year-old woman," Henry explained."There are a few more devil candidates that haven’t been located yet; I wonder who they are," Trevor replied."We will begin searching for them tomorrow morning," Henry said boldly.Brianna then pointed at a man’s picture on the computer screen. "What do you know about this person Mr. Henry?" She inquired softly."Mitch Ross, there was a tweet tagged with the hashtag "devil candidate" that said he suddenly acquired a cute girlfriend; that’s not unusual, but it is interesting that he was Chris Tanner’s course mate and took the same classes with him." Henry answered calmly."Right," Brianna mumbled.Everyone was just listening to what Henry was explaining without saying anything. They were all paying attention to the computer screen.Then Henry brought out another document that
