The Eternal Debauchery's

punish me

Now that Steven's dead, I'm missing the only clue to the mastermind behind the murder.

But with this, I confirm the strength of the enemy. If I'm not mistaken, I'm facing someone of the same level as me.

However, I was unable to find a reason behind his actions. No matter how I look at it, there is no good reason to use such a method to kill someone. People at our level are very strong, killing someone just takes a thought.

At least, of course, there are some kind of limitations.

Fortunately, there were still other assassins in the academy. If I'm not mistaken, the killer is in the same condition as Steven, someone controlled against his will.

It seems like I have to find a way to catch him, or at least, to catch others who are being manipulated.

Suddenly, I had a thought.

'How many people are being manipulated?'

And then, I thought of something else.

'Are only the people from the academy the victims?'

Maybe I can start investigating in that direction?

After following that line of thought, I concluded that it was the right direction. Might as well…

I arrived at the Red Skull Gang while deep in thought. The two guards at the entrance bowed respectfully as I appeared.

"Boss."

I nodded indifferently and entered the building.

Tonight, the headquarters of the Red Skull Gang was filled with people. Everyone I met on the street seemed very busy, but they carried happy smiles.

But that's something normal. After all, it has only been a day since we destroyed the Blood Night Gang.

Surprisingly, I did not meet anyone familiar on the street. Normally, Raven or Marana would come to greet me, but none of them were here today.

When I arrived at the office, I realized it was empty.

I frowned and knocked on the table twice. Then I went out and called someone.

"Do you know where Marana is?" say me

"Oh? Boss!" The young man I stopped became nervous when I called out to him. "You're here."

I frowned. Seeing my expression, the young man quickly calmed down.

“B-Boss Marana is dealing with the aftermath of yesterday's battle, so she's not here. Miss Raven and Mr. Klein are with her.”

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What about Elen?"

“Nona Elene is very busy healing the wounded. I heard he just took a break an hour ago. I think he's sleeping right now.”

Sighs. Everyone seems to be busy today.

Well, that's normal. After all, the battle with the Blood Night Gang was only yesterday.

“Am I busy too?”

"Yes. Go and call him. Tell him I have something important to tell him.”

“Y-Yes!” The young man then ran looking for Akilah.

I took a breath and went back to the office. After that, I started revising the documents on the desk while waiting for Akiah.

Fortunately, he didn't take long to come.

"I heard you call me." I entered the room with an unhappy expression. "Hurry up, I'm busy practicing."

I was a little surprised when I saw him. Different from her usual appearance, she wore a tight sweater with shorts for practice. His body was slightly sweaty due to the exercise, and his brown hair was tied up in a ponytail.

To be honest, he looks very seductive.

His tongue, however, was poisonous as usual.

“Stop looking at me like a pervert. I don't like it.” He grunts.

I furrowed my eyebrows. This chick…

However, I have more important things tonight.

“How is the situation?” i asked.

"Collapse." I say with annoyance. “Marana has been wandering around today due to the destruction of the Blood Night Gang. Moreover, the imperial guards and some nobles visited us earlier. Fortunately, nothing happened.”

"That's great. However, we cannot lower our vigilance.I'm sure many people are eyeing the position of the underground ruler of the eastern capital. The following days will be the most dangerous.” I said.

“So I don't know about that. Besides he's done the dirty work of replacing you. ” Akiah said in a sarcastic tone.

I just ignored it. “I have to leave a message for Marana. Investigate all the strange murders that occurred recently in the capital.I want a report on that tomorrow night. ”

“... Does this matter?” Akila frowned. “Kakak is already busy organizing gangs. He doesn't need more work now.”

"It's important." I looked at Akilah deeply. "Very important."

"Well, if it's so important, why don't you investigate it yourself?" He said coldly.

Hiks, this girl…

"All right, I remember I warned you about being disrespectful, right?" kataku.

“And why should I respect you? You snatched the Red Skull Gang from my brother's hand. You are nothing but a thief! ”

“It looks like you didn't learn your lesson last time, huh? Last time, I forgave you after you attacked for no reason, however, I remember saying that it would be the last time I let such a thing go."

"Oh? What are you gonna do, kill me? Do it if you dare!" Akiilah sneered.

I clenched my fingers and smiled. I'm pretty sure that my smile is a bit nasty right now.

"Kill you, why did I do it?"

My eyes narrowed. I stared at her tall and slender body and licked my lips.

"No, I'll just punish you" I grinned
