Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

"I understand, czar. So you don't believe in Gods but want others to believe in them. The drug seller doesn't do drugs himself. I get it."

Pablo nodded a few times and removed his hand from Draxus.

Flashy wanted to say something too but he couldn't come up with any type of questions. Draxus asked all of them. So in the end he remained silent and Pablo focused on the King.

Right now, inside the hut, only Pablo, Flashy, Draxus and the King were present, only these three men.

That's why Pablo asked:

"Did you not hire guards to do all this work? Delegate the tasks. Tell your trusted high dukes about this too. They will help you a lot."

The King nodded. "I have told everyone what they have to do. I have assigned people for the tasks. You don't worry one bit."

"And this kingdom has two hundred countries and many slums, everything is under control, right?"

"Yes. A hut like this one is built everywhere. And inside each hut, are ten guards who will keep an ear on every wish. So yeah, everything is under control."

"Oh yes, Boss," Flashy spoke all of a sudden.

Pablo almost twitched.

"What is it?" He barked.

Flashy didn't mind the harsh tone and asked, "How did you make all these huts, temples in just one day? I mean, they weren't here yesterday."

Pablo rolled his eyes. "He is a King. He has millions of people under his rule and among those million he chose people who had an Ego related to building something. Even a kid would be able to tell this, Flashy."

"Right. Sorry for that. I had become excited since I finally thought of a question but I should have known."

Pablo sighed.

He ignored the man and talked to the King again.

"So you will handle everything from now on?" He asked.

"Yes." The King nodded. "The guards for this hut will be coming as well. I have made houses for them in this slum too. All they have to do is listen to the wishes of the people, send the wishes forward to the next chain of command, the temples will be closed at night so the guards will be able to sleep, and this cycle will continue as long as you want it. The ten gods will keep getting prayed and the people will soon become religious."

"Don't daydream that far. Focus on the present. Keep doing the work and the results will arrive when they want."

"As you say."

Pablo nodded. "Alright. Ask Boulder to send us to the Military camp now. I have to prepare for Hollow too."

"Right. Boulder! Come here." The King said and the door of the hut opened.

But the door was small so Boulder couldn't enter.

However, Boulder raised his leg to try entering.

"Wait, Boulder. It's fine. We will come outside. You stay there." Pablo stopped Boulder just in time.

"Sure."

Boulder stepped back and waited.

After a second, PDF or Pablo, Draxus and Flashy came out.

Boulder wasted no time and held the uniforms of the three with only one hand.

Then, he bent his knees and took off in the air.

After five seconds, they were just outside the gate of the Military camp.

Pablo looked at Boulder and parted his lips to say thank you but before he could…

WHISH!

Boulder jumped again, vanishing.

'Right. The King is alone. He went for security. That's one loyal man.'

Pablo questioned and answered himself as he walked towards the entrance of the camp.

Draxus and Flashy followed him.

The guards didn't stop them and Pablo focused on his upcoming mission now that he was in the military camp.

"Draxus, call all the soldiers in Ground 2. A meeting will take place now."

"Sure."

Pablo nodded and looked at Flashy.

"You and your father should be on the ground as well. No excuses and no funny business."

"As you say, Boss. I am as serious as ever. This is the matter of my mom after all."

"Good. Now go to the ground 2. I'll be joining you all soon."

Draxus and Flashy showed a thumbs up and walked towards the Ground 2.

Pablo also walked around and while walking he brought out his Receiver.

He dialed a number and placed it on his ear.

The other side picked up but nothing came from there.

Pablo sighed. "I knew you would be like this. Too embarrassed to speak. Fine. Just come to ground 2 with all the eight slaves that are in your room. Got it?"

"Hmm."

BEEP!

Pablo cut the call.

He shook his head and finally, walked towards ground 2 himself.

A thought of Sera crossed his mind but he soon disregarded it.

'She will only make problems for me there. I shouldn't take her with me.'

Talking to himself along the way, Pablo finally reached the ground 2.

Just as he entered he saw that all his soldiers were present, including Gerald the father of Flashy as well.

They both exchanged nods and Pablo stood on the stage present in front of the soldiers.

"Everyone, I will ask only a few questions. Hear them carefully. Alright?!"

"Yes!"

"Alright!?"

"YES!"

"Good. So we will be going to Hollow very soon. And before we go, I want to know if anyone is scared of dying. If someone is afraid and doesn't want to go, step forward right now. I don't want to take a man without balls in this mission. I won't babysit boys. I need men who can look death in the eye and smile without a sweat. So, if there is anyone here who doesn't have the guts to fight at least a hundred Cannibals at once alone, step forward and go home."

Pablo roamed his gaze at every soldier.

He looked them in the eye and the soldiers met his eyes as well.

Pablo stared at each and every soldier and each and every soldier stared back.

At that, Pablo smiled.

"That's more like it. You people surely…"

He softened his gaze.

"Can make Abyss step back."
