Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

In the ground 2 of Numb city military camp.

Pablo and his soldiers were ready.

The eight slaves, Sera and Gerald were also present.

This time, the slaves weren't standing behind Pablo as they were also below the stage standing among the other soldiers.

Though, they weren't wearing any kinds of uniforms, and so were Sera and Gerald. They were in formal clothes as random people weren't allowed to even wear the uniform of normal guards much less Abyssal Butchers'.

The hundred soldiers and others were staring at Pablo with determination and love. Well, only Sera and Hena were looking at him with love. And not to mention, Melon, Lashes, Snow and Ebony, they also had some kind of affection for Pablo in their eyes.

He had also made Hena and Sera stand far from each other as he wanted no cat fights in the middle of this meeting.

Also, he couldn't care less about love at the moment as he surveyed each and every person standing below him.

The sun had yet to greet the sky as cold gusts of wind rejuvenated Pablo and his team from time to time.

And under this atmosphere, Pablo finally opened his mouth.

"Everyone," he said. "Only two days are left for our mission to begin. I have given you all the time to play, time to enjoy, black cards, prostitutes, you all enjoyed for the whole year under me. But in this last month of the year, you all have to throw away everything resembling even remotely close to comfort. This is no time to stay comfortable. And if you must stay comfortable then do it like me. Because you all might not know, for me…"

Pablo locked eyes with the soldiers.

"Killing people is the most comfortable thing I could do."

The soldiers remained silent but their eyes stayed glued to Pablo.

"I want you all to become comfortable in chaos. I want you to become so cold that you don't even hesitate to kill your comrade if you suddenly get bloodlust. This is just an example of course. Killing a comrade is a crime worthy of death in the military. I am sure you all must have seen what happened with the previous second Marshal Luther. He was personally executed by me."

The soldiers nodded and some even flinched remembering the ease and bloodied face of Luther while he died by Pablo's hands.

Pablo carried on.

"Turning you colder is important but I won't do it today. Today is assigned for something else. Today, you all shall focus on your bodies and other aspects related to it."

The soldiers listened patiently.

Pablo also wasn't a fan of doing small talk and wasting time, so he came right on the matter.

"Our mission is just two days away so there are very few things we could do that would generate a visible effect on you. That's why I thought of something else for all of you."

The soldiers' ears perked up.

Pablo had thought something else? They were curious to know.

"I have read all your Egoes, And today, you all must be thinking who's that new girl that you never saw and those eight people that I always bring with me.

First of all, that new girl's name is Seraphina Herald and she is the daughter of the Count of this Numb city. She is also a part of this mission and if any of you get distracted by her beauty and try to approach her for no good reason, you will die. Consider her your comrade, not a girl whom you all would try to impress. Got it?"

"Yes!"

"Got IT!?"

"YES!"

The soldiers shouted loud and clear and Pablo nodded.

Meanwhile, Sera, the girl in question could only look at Pablo with more love as no matter what Pablo's intentions were, he still showed care for her. The love in her eyes intensified for the 2nd Marshal.

Andrezj floated behind her and he could only shake his head. No matter how one sees it, Pablo was a toxic man, and for some reason he was getting loved by girls all around. Flashy and Andrezj couldn't understand this.

Because of this even a nice guy like Flashy had to act like he was a bad boy. Though, it's another matter that he still pulled no girls even after being the baddest boy in town. All of this was inside his head though. He wasn't the baddest boy at all.

Of course, Andrezj and Flashy had no relation with each other, they never even met. It's just their thoughts were the same.

After talking about Sera, Pablo moved on to share about the next person. Or rather, about a group.

"After Seraphina, you all should know about the eight young people standing among you. They were refugees from the Glory city when the White Mist calamity had hit. They are the children of a normal guard there who died because of the mist. They had nowhere to go so I took them in. They are also part of this mission."

The soldiers nodded.

The eight slaves had smiles on their faces just because Pablo didn't refer to them as slaves in front of the soldiers and they were standing with Nike and Hena as the slaves had unity among each other.

Pablo let them be and carried on to tell more things.

"These children are all young as they are not eighteen yet. As a result, they hadn't awakened their Egoes yet. I shouldn't even take them with me but they would play a crucial role in this mission. And just like what I said about Sera, the four girls you are seeing, stay away from them. No need to try to make them laugh to gain their interest. I won't tolerate any misbehavior with any girls. Be it Seraphina, Hena or these four girls. Got it?"

"YES!"

The soldiers got it and Pablo realized he hadn't done the main thing while introducing the eight slaves. So he did it right away.

But before he could do that, his eyes caught Flashy as Flashy's eyes had caught something else.

Pablo's brows twitched as Flashy was doing what he was expected to do.

What happened was…

Pablo's first slave, Flashy Rail, was looking at Melon's breasts.
