[28th December 2024.]This was the big day. Today's the day my soulmate and I become officially a couple. I couldn't be more happier. I went to the wardrobe and brought out the Italian suit which I had bought just for this day.“Max, dress up, everyone's ready except you.” My Mom shouted from the balcony.“I'll be through soon Mom.” I shoved my excitement aside and wore the suit, combed my hair, and rushed off to the balcony.“Are the cars ready?” I asked Mom.“Keep smiling like that and our soon to be inlaws will think you have a facial disease.” my Mother berated me with a smile plastered on her face.“My boy is finally becoming a man.” she squealed as she cupped my face. Mom was dressed in a silk-satin sky blue evening gown, with a V neckline. This dress code was brought by a very good friend of mine, Queen Esther. “You look gorgeous Mom.” I said, while she blushed.“Stop making this old lady feel young.” she said while smiling.“Hurry up y'all, we're gonna be late.” Erik my son s
I walked into the half-dark neon light room.There was a long table with three seats on each side. The room was so dark that I couldn't even see myself, let alone the other occupants.“BOSS!!” The dark room echoed with the voices of my killer-wolves elite assassins.I created the Killer-Wolves after my Hunt in England, it was formerly called Wardogs Organization, I handpicked and trained the members myself. We've been through countless suicide missions together and they fear nothing and no one. After the Bornu state mission, we upped our game with the millions we were paid with. Now we're amongst the top tier mercenary guilds.“Be seated.” I said as I took the seat which looked more like a throne than an ordinary chair.“I'm sure you all have heard of what happened.” I said, and they all kept mute, waiting for me to continue.“I don't desire pity. I simply want the location and photos of my prey. This hunt is mine and so are the preys.” I said while oozing out darkness magic.“Boss, w
-““Forty policemen were found dead, witnesses say they saw a man dressed in black spandex with two black swords, riding a black power bike. The police suspects this man to be the assassin, and a very skilled one at that. The corpses of the forty police officers were in a grotesque state that it shouldn't be shown to the public. They were butchered like animals. The target of this assassin seems to be a college professor, Mr Emmanuel Olewike. The Commissioner of Police has sworn to find this assassin who calls himself Black Heart.””-I turned off the TV, tossed the remote on the couch and left the room for the bathroom. Hollow Reaper had already gotten me info on the next target. Another college professor, Mr Stanley Kubrick. I don't plan on creating a scene, I'll just kill him in his office.As I turned on the shower, I thought back to the day of my wedding, I could have sworn things were finally going to be perfect for me, only for Fate to fuck it all up for me.*Ring*I heard the do
“You should leave before someone comes in” I said to the frightened girl. I sighed and then chose to leave the office. She grabbed my arm as I began walking past her. I turned around and stared at her with stern eyes.“Please take me with you. I want to be just like you” she said with sparkly eyes. Okay, that wasn't exactly what I was expecting to hear from her when she grabbed my arm. “You are a murderer, you will pay for your crime.” Yeah sure. “Wait till the police arrive, you can't just leave.” Yeah sure. But the phrase “Please take me with you” and “I want to be just like you” never crossed my mind. My heart softened a bit as I could vaguely guess what she's been through at the hands of school lecturers to harden her heart this way. Sadly I don't think my path is the one she should follow. What she needs is genuine love and care, not blood and knives.“Sorry to bust your bubbles, but I can't” I replied and tried to shake off her hand from my arm, surprisingly it didn't budge.“Pl
The four of us had just walked into the station when a police officer came to meet us. I was wearing a black facemask which covered half my face from the nose down to my jaw, and so was Hollow Reaper.“Can I help you Sirs?” the officer enquired unsuspiciously.“Yes officer. My friend here is deaf and dumb. He was robbed on his way home from work. We're here to see the chief to make a personal complaint.” Risky said as he palmed 1,000 notes on the officer's hand. The officer felt the notes and noticed it was a good sum. He grinned.“Right this way gentlemen.” He acted like a valet and guided us towards the chief's office.“Sir. There are three gentlemen who wish to speak with you in private.” The officer said as he poked his head into the office.“Okay. Let them in if they're really important.” his voice boomed from inside the office. The officer nodded and opened the door wide enough for us to go in. Then he saluted the chief and left.“Take a seat and tell me how I may be of help to
“GOOD DAY BOSS!!” The Killer-Wolves Elites stood up and greeted as soon as I opened the door into the meeting hall.“Have your seats. I replied and sat down. I turned my gaze to the only female in the group, Elixir. I observed her stats and was impressed.ELIXIRName: Elizabeth ChristopherAge: 25Race: HumanStrength: 75Speed: 75Control: 80Skills: (Master swordsman, Master gunslinger, Master invincibility).“You really have worked hard my dear Elixir, I'm proud of you.” I said smiling.“Its all thanks to your grace and care Boss.” she blushed. I could also see she's become more beautiful as her skin is now well toon and smooth. It's so far from the rough faced girl I saw two weeks ago. With her skills, I'm sure she will be the perfect honey trap. Hehehehehe.“Boss, Lawrence tried leaving the city this morning. He plans to flee. The others sought help from the police but instead were thrown out, you can now pick them all up one after the other without any interference.” Starlet sai
I stepped into the battlefield. I first observed the chaos. It seemed to me that Starlet and Hollow Reaper has the policemen trapped. The tires of the police cruisers had already been slashed and anyone who attempted to escape got a shokuren embedded at his back. This wasn't to kill them but to incapacitate the deserter.The policemen were bloodied, overwhelmed and exhausted as all their bullets bounced off the KWE vest [these vests were made from Black iron ore and Milthril ore. Light as a feather but with infinite durability. Vulnerable only to lightening and laser beams]. I felt no pity for the policemen, rather my rage kept on building as the words Lawrence spoke echoed in my head.*GRRH!* A snarl escaped my mouth, that was the cue for the demonic system in me to act. I rushed towards the nearest policeman, he was already injured by the shokuren and was applying bandage on his injured arm. He jerked away as I suddenly appeared in front of him, he was a step too late as I grabbed h
For a month I didn't continue the hunt. I used a month to polish up KWE organization. With our numbers totaling up to four thousand, I had to place them into various groups or sectors. Hollow Reaper led the Tech sector. Lord Keal, Kim Demon and Death Vector led the gunslinger group, Starlet led the swordsman group, while my dear Elixir and her small group was placed in the Spy/Assassination sector.We now had over a hundred and forty safe houses across the country. KWE organization was now a big mercenary guild that the government couldn't go against. We also set up various businesses which was not even related to the mercenary guild. Ajuruchi Samuel (Starlet) was the CEO of Stardust Corporation, Elizabeth Christopher (Elixir) took control of a Beauty saloon and renamed it to Elsa's Beauty World.You may be surprised on how we were able to establish all these, well, Hollow Reaper hacker into a few banks and transferred a huge fund into an untraceable account which was accessible only
