Chapter 36 36: The Hidden Faces
In an uptown apartment, a group of men were gathered secretly, their hands holding glasses containing expensive whiskey; their blading hair and expanding bellies were a sign of luxury and greed.
"Hoho, that stupid retard seems to have woken up recently." A male sitting at the centre of the table, his face was forgettable, but his watch was worth more than $100,000 and a suit to match, proving his worth.
"That's all lies; how could that boy who chases women with his crotch all day ever amount to anything? All he has is looks; he's not even his father's real son~ Hohoho!"
The table suddenly became quiet; the man who just spoke was quite handsome, seeming to be in his late 40s with the wrinkles on his forehead a testament to his hard work and life to rise to the top.
"Director Chang!? You confirmed it, proof that Amon Winchester has NO relation to the chairwoman or late chairman?"
A burst of excitement began to fill the room as they all started to laugh and celebrate, but the male known as "Director Chang" suddenly clapped his hands.
"Everyone, there is a time and place to announce things. Don't you think we should wait and see if that boy can achieve anything? Why don't we wait until it's achieved and snatch everything for ourselves."
"That slut won't have a leg to stand on! Gyahahaha!"
The men looked at the man with a dashing appearance and seemed convinced it wasn't because he had dirt on them all, and they couldn't go against him.
Surely...
"Now then, is there anyone curious about his origins? Fufu It's quite the tear-jerking story."
Before he could continue, the door was knocked, and a beautiful maid with black hair and green eyes entered, carrying a tray of wines, whiskey and food below; her steps were perfect; with a flat face, she helped replace the used bottles and empty plates.
"Oh... what a sexy maid. Have you already tasted her, Mr Chang?" A plump male with a shiny head whispered, reaching out towards her large buttocks, only for his hand to miss and fall from his chair with a loud bang.
"Ugh!?"
"OI, YOU LITTLE BITCH!" He shouted to the maid that was leaving, but she never came back, and neither did Director Chang act; he merely tapped his glass.
"Now, now! That girl is special and not something that you with that cocktail sausage could handle... gives up."
"Ugh... it's not small!!"
"Hohoho~ that's not what your wife said, Director Park."
"Tsk...!"
Thanks to the slight ribbing, the man dubbed Director Park forgot the maid, her face and dynamite body fading from his mind as if magic.
"Can I continue with my story now?" Chang continued, his face filled with a twisted smile.
"Our dear little nephew had a sweetheart in college~."
"Isn't that Maribell?"
Director Chang's hands spread like shattering the interruptions with a shit-eating grin.
"Nono, it was her best friend~ hahaha!"
"but that's not the amusing part... That girl was already pregnant! Hahahaha, but our little cuckold of a nephew still accepted her!"
"Then how did he marry Maribell of that annoying family?"
"Well... at the time, grandfather thought it was our nephew's child, and she was from a poor family, right? So, she was dealt with; it was just a damn shame that bitch helped save them; suddenly, our little nephew vanished for a few months before he returned and announced his engagement to that violent young miss; how amusing, right?"
"Ohhh..."
"You mean!?"
"At the time, most were just happy that he woke up from the stupid dream of chasing a poor girl; sadly, we were all duped! The child was the wild spawn of that little slut, no relation to either family, yet that bitch Maribell plans to hand over ALL of our hard work to that wild boy with no class! Fufu~ when all the documents and proof are in order, let's have the unsightly bitch leave our sight and take everything back into the family!"
"A Winchester family business is not for the likes of those thieves!"
"Hohoho!"
The place began to heat up as the doors jarred slightly, a silver flash slicing across several of the men's necks as two maids entered, one in all black, with her eastern face covered with a mask, the other maid from before, wilder as her two blades cut the men apart brutally chopping them from their crotches to their necks.
"Guh...!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Blood splattered across the room, and the men were dead in seconds; the female assassin simply grabbed the wine bottle and emptied it, pouring the blood on the floor as she wiped the blade clean with a cloth.
"Fufufu~"
"Director Park, you're next!"
"Eek!"
"Why.... who!?"
She didn't give him a chance to scream as she sliced through his neck with a single swipe, causing his head to roll away from his body while his body fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Director Chang, I'll finish you off after this!"
"No... please don't kill me~!"
"Stop!"
"Fufu~" the green eyes maid giggled as her blade sliced his flesh; her eyes were sharp, a sense of anger and hostility filling them.
"You bastard...!"
"Don't worry; I'll be gentle!"
"What... the hell is happening!?"
"Hmmm~ you shouldn't have insulted him."
"WHO!?"
Shlick! The blade of the eastern woman cut his mouth, and as it fell, unable to speak, he began to choke and drown in his blood.
"Did you get the documents?" The voice of the eastern woman was deep but pretty.
Upon hearing the voice, Director Chang's eyes opened wide; he began to tremble as that voice was obvious to anyone who worked for the Winchester Group...
"Yes, I got them. Now, let's get rid of these idiots."
"Good. Let's get rid of the rest."
"Whatever master wishes, I will fulfil." The cute green-eyed girl sang in a chirping voice before sitting on the comfy black chair, spinning around.
Brrr! Brrr!
Her phone began to vibrate.
"Ah~ it's master!"
The Eastern woman looked at the happy maid before shaking her head. "Why do you act so cold and rough to his face, despite liking him this much? Stupid tiger." She sighed.
Bleep!
"Hello, It's me." A deep male's voice sounded nothing like the joyful and kind voice that sounded during the daytime or when comforting women.
"Master, the task was completed."
"Did you get the documents and files? Make sure to leave proof of their wrongdoing on the table. To bait out Marina, we must first let her taste a delicious cake."
"Yes, Master."
"Good, I'm hanging up; stay at Kizuna's tonight; I will sleep with Alice."
Bzzt!
"Ahhh!? Did I get dumped for that little bitch!?"
The phone cut off, and the black hair faded into a pretty blonde colour with two silver feline ears; a cold aura surrounded her body as Elma looked displeased.
"Stupid bird... I should kill her too..!"
The western woman was suddenly kicked by the eastern maid, causing her to fly across the room, landing on the floor, her legs unable to hold her weight.
"Stop being stupid; we have more tasks to finish. He will reward you after; you know he will."
A message suddenly came to the phone of Kizuna with the words. "Kill anyone who knows the truth and destroy all the evidence you can; I don't want my mother to cry."
"Ah, let's finish; how about we enjoy a beer after work?"
Elma was strange for Kizuna to deal with; she would switch between many different personas, but all of them were so different it was annoying.
"It seems our master wasn't as kind and forgiving as we thought..."
"He has many enemies; why are you acting so naive, Kizuna? Do you think he can take over that place and rise to the top when countless Winchester family members still know the truth?"
"This was merely buying time until he no longer needs that family."
Kizuna stopped momentarily, her sword slicing through a computer's SSD more than twelve times in a second, as she turned to the serious-faced Elma, who slit the throat of a director pretending to be dead.
"Then, what will you do if he leaves this family, Elma?"
Elma looked at her with a sneer.
"Do you think I'd spread my legs to grow stronger or because he is a little handsome?"
"That boy is mine! From the moment I met him, my life changed completely. He makes the twisted images of death, my night terrors... The memories of my sisters and comrades being tortured and killed one by one..."
"All of it fades when he is close; I can be normal, not the former me. So I won't let him leave my side for long."
"It's like he's your drug..."
"Ah... he gives me immense sexual pleasure and mental relief, so in return, I'll become a blade that cuts down any that seek to harm him."
"Why not tell him that?" Kizuna wondered. She always acted like the stupid maid around him rather than the true Elma, which was dry, brutal and lacked many emotions.
"I don't know... Something inside me feels strange, and I cannot act this way around him... it's like he's my catnip or something... haha, come, let's grab a few beers and beat the shit out of some skirt chasers."
"Only master can touch us, after all."
"Why am I included!?" Kizuna protested as they both vanished from the 4th-floor window like phantoms.
"Because I know he makes you horny~ felines have a great sense of smell, hahaha!"
