Destroying My Own World

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Funds.

"Five billion dollars? That's a lot of money," Rozan was baffled by the amount. "How much we have left?" Rozan asked Mykel since he was the one who held the money.

"One and a half. But that's not really a problem since one body of a gargoyle in great condition is worth at least a million dollars. If we hunt a thousand of them, we have a billion dollars," Mykel answered as he put on his gloves. "There are so many places that are still swarmed by demons. There's no need to hold back, let's hunt them all," Mykel continued.

(At the temporary White House)

"Mister President, Mykel Alester was trying to reach you, but since you were still in a meeting he decided to not bother you and left a message," The secretary said as he entered the room.

"A message?" Richard asked.

"Yes, he asked for transportation. To be exact, he wants to borrow a helicopter," The secretary answered as he nodded his head.

"Helicopter? For what?" Richard asked again.

"Well, sir..." The secretary paused. "He said that he and his team had enough resting, and they're now going to hunt for demons," he continued.

Richard was surprised as he looked at his secretary and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Give him what he wants, and we will support him with everything we can as long as it's to kill those demons."

The secretary immediately contacted the military so Mykel could use one of the armed choppers and asked them to prepare it. Richard went to meet with Mykel and his team in the guest hall.

"Mister Mykel, I heard you're going for an expedition. Where are you going exactly?" Richard asked.

"I'm thinking of going to North Dakota and cleaning up the big cities there. I'm planning to clear the states all the way to the capital city first since it's crucial for us and Canada. We have to work together to get back up," Mykel answered.

Richard was happy, but at the same time, he was worried about something.

"That's really a good idea, and you're not the first one who thinks like that," Richard said as he scratched his left eyebrow with his pinky finger. "There's this demon, and I think you have heard about it as well when the first demon invasion happened. There's a giant demon that stayed in Montana and we have tried to fight it, but we lost hundreds of thousands of lives and we lost miserably," Richard explained.

"The red demon with four arms, giant horns, and bones coming out from its body? A demon with a human body but the legs are horse legs?" Rozan asked.

"Yes, that's the one. We called it the Minotaurus," Richard nodded his head.

"I guess that shouldn't be a problem as long as we increase our level first?" Sven asked as he looked at Mykel.

"Yeah, that wouldn't be a problem at all," Mykel responded and nodded his head.

Richard looked at Mykel and Sven back and forth. He was baffled by how those two were so relaxed even though the Minotaurus was invincible. The skin of the demon couldn't be penetrated by the highest caliber bullet, and a single punch was enough to turn a human body into dough.

"Excuse me, but are you not listening to what I just said? That demon killed thousands of people, and most of them were strong Awakeners like James and the others," Richard asked as he looked at them.

"We heard you. We just don't find it problematic," Mykel answered.

"Oh good gracious..." Richard put his hand on his forehead.

Richard's secretary entered the room and informed Mykel that the chopper was ready in the helipad. With that being said, Mykel and the others went there with Richard and his secretary following them from behind.

Richard realized something that had been bothering him, and that was the attire Mykel and the others wore. They didn't even wear a single protective gear and only brought their weapons with them. Mykel and Elena didn't even bring anything, only a pack of cigarettes in Mykel's hand.

"Sir, are they going to go out like that?" The secretary asked.

"I don't know, Russel. This is the first time I have seen them, so don't ask me that question. All I see is men and women going to a war without a single fear on their shoulders," Richard quietly answered.

Russel whispered something to Richard, and then Richard looked at him with amusement. Russel left hurriedly and then asked one of the guards to bring something back to him.

"Mister Mykel! Can I have a minute?" Richard asked before Mykel hopped into the chopper. "Would it be fine if you make a documentation of your journey? We would love to gather any information about the situation over there," Richard explained.

"Sure, but we don't have a video camera on us," Mykel answered as the strong wind from the propeller hit him from behind and made a mess of his hair.

Russel approached Mykel and showed him a black backpack, "We have two video cameras with a total one hundred terabytes of memory inside this bag." "We also put a satellite phone inside that you can use whenever and wherever you are. Just use it if you need any help from us, and we will immediately send help," Russel continued.

Mykel grabbed the bag and nodded his head with understanding. He then hopped into the chopper and gave the bag to Lyneth since she was the only one who didn't fight.

"Mister Mykel, I wish for your safety and we will wait for your return. God be with you," Richard said with a serious expression.

Mykel didn't say anything and just scoffed as he smirked. He then slid the door close and then the chopper started flying.

(At Goldmane Headquarters, a week later)

James was talking with Victor, but then James' phone rang. He was surprised and jolted from his seat when he read the message. Victor was confused as to why James suddenly reacted like that. He thought there might be a powerful demon, so he was prepared to fight if that was the case.

"What is it?" Victor asked.

"Mykel and his team are now currently in North Dakota, and they're planning to go to Montana," James answered as he kept staring at his phone.

"What?! Are they crazy?!" Victor said as he made the same exact reaction as James.

"You have to see this..." James grabbed a remote and turned on the TV.

Victor and James looked at the TV and it was footage of Mykel and the others killing demons. They both were speechless when they witnessed Mykel and Elena dealing with gargoyles, succubus, and incubus with only their fists and feet. They both used punched demons like it was nothing and was strong enough to make a hole where they punched.

"That can't be real," James said after he saw Mykel send a gargoyle that was three times bigger than his body flying and hit a wall that was fifty meters away. "I have never seen with that much power," James pointed out.

"We don't know their levels, or what kind of skills they have. Anything is possible," Victor replied as he shrugged his shoulders, but he was amazed by it. "I think I know why they're doing this," Victor said.

"What? You know something?" James asked.

"They need funds, and those are their funds," Victor wiggled his index finger and pointed it at the TV. "They're going to make their own guild, and this might be the best promotion video ever created to promote their guild," Victor answered.

They watched as dozens of gargoyles were being transported with helicopters, trucks, and even ships. They didn't know how much Mykel and the others had hunted the demons, but that was more than the ones they saw in Colorado.

"By the way, I have to go," Victor said and then left hurriedly.

James watched Victor leave and enter the elevator at the end of the hallway. He then changed the TV into a CCTV camera and saw Victor talking with someone on the phone. He turned up the volume to hear what and who Victor was calling.

"Tell the elites to get ready," Victor said to the person on the phone. "We are going to Montana and prepare the cars," Victor continued.

"What a sneaky bastard. You think I'm going to let you take the spotlight for yourself?" James asked and then turned off the TV.
