Chapter 13 - "blessing"

-What a bore!

Arthur exclaimed as he lay upside down on the sofa. Meanwhile, number three was ironing and folding Arthur's clothes.

-Milorde, can I get you anything?

Arthur thought for a moment and then decided he wanted something to drink.

-Orange juice and cookies.

Number 3 gets up and takes his order.

Arthur takes the snack and starts eating.

"The Lord is always like this when he's fighting his murderous will."

-Three, is that the person? Did you manage to find him?

He stops folding and sighs.

-"Honestly, it's very strange. She disappeared as if she were a ghost, I investigated all the way in and out of the city, but there were no people who matched what was described.

Arthur thinks for a moment.

- The zoo, the dump, the police station and finally the sewers." Arthur stands up, then begins to stretch and heads for his room. -I'm going to sleep, I'm tired.

-Thank you, my lord.

Arthur just ignores him and goes to bed.

-How long are you going to stay there?

A person suddenly appears from behind a wall, she raises her hair, her teeth look like sharks' canines, her hair is mohawked with a black tinge, her eyes are boiling with excitement. He sticks out his tongue, it's probably a custom. On his arm was a large tattoo with the number 5 written on it.

-Luiz... it's been a while, how are you?

Luzi smiles and then runs towards number 3 and then, with a tremendous burst of speed, he... hugs number 3 with a gentle smile.

-How long! I've missed you so much! -He hugs number 3 very tightly. -Did you get what you wanted?

Number 3 picks up the scraps of food Arthur left behind while smiling.

-Yes, I managed to take that person's life, thank you for asking.

Luiz looks around as if searching for something.

- And the others? Number 4, 2 and... 1?

-Four is in the north running the hidden auction. Number 2 is looking for something you asked him for. And number 1... is protecting the laboratory as usual.

Luiz gets excited as he thinks of his six friends.

-I hope the five of us can get together.

Somewhere a man was limping as he dragged himself along, his face began to open and showed a horrible mouth, with countless teeth, and then he vomited something from inside, right, it was a pigeon, it was disgusting and strange at the same time, but the white pigeon was completely clean. The man's face closes up. He ties something to the pigeon's foot and throws it into the sky.

-How unfortunate, I hope the master is at least saddened by my death. I'm sorry, milord, I'll disturb your plans... I never imagined that freak would be here.

Footsteps approached, they were light, unhurried, as if they didn't care about anything.

- As I imagined, the underworld is being remodeled, but I never imagined that pests like you would have the courage to walk freely through my realm.

- Léo Grimshaw...

Léo starts to prepare himself, his nails start to grow, and he looks deep into the man's eyes.

- As he suspected, that assassin is not alone.

"Shit!"

The man quickly takes out a syringe from his pocket.

Léo steps forward and stops the man's hand.

-Do you really think... that I couldn't stop you from committing suicide?

The man laughs and opens his mouth, which is completely purple with saliva; the syringe was always just a distraction.

-Oho.

Léo releases him, then puts his finger to his forehead.

-Boom.

Léo blows the man's head off and then stands up.

-How disgusting, I should have taken it easy.

He snaps his fingers and the body is set on fire, drying up all the blood, and then he turns and walks away.

As the day dawns, annoying pecking at the window starts, Arthur gets up, he opens the drawer and takes out some birdseed, then puts the food on the window, a beautiful family of birds land and start eating, Arthur strokes them, then he notices the pigeon desperately going to his window and landing on his shoulder, he removes the paper.

He quickly changes his shirt and goes back to his "Arthur" appearance and then goes to the secret base.

He tells the recruits to call all the swords available. And then he sits in the chair and waits.

Something serious has happened. Maybe this will change all of Arthur's plans.
