Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Sera showed her partner to Flashy.

Flashy couldn't care less about her partner as—if he wasn't her partner, then it doesn't matter who her partner was.

However, he never expected Sera's partner to be his own freaking…

"DAD!?"

Gerald laughed. "What is it, son? No bitches?"

Flashy felt a dagger piercing through his heart as he looked at Sera.

"Lady Sera, why did you choose this man? You asked me who the fcuk I am but ended up choosing my father? Why?"

"I don't want to make my dear think I like someone else. So I can't choose someone of my age. So I chose this old man. This way, my dear won't suspect me and the task would be done too."

Flashy bit his lip. "But you'll be safe with me. I won't even touch you. But I can't guarantee you about this man. He is a pervert."

"... You do realize that I am your father, right? You just called your father a pervert."

"Don't do your family drama around me." Sera's crisp voice cut in. "I already told him that if he touched me he would die. So don't worry about it. And I remembered who you are. Your name is Draxus, right? Keep helping my dear. Now go."

…

Flashy fell on his knees.

He was rejected by all the girls present on the ground.

One girl didn't even know who he was.

And yet, she chose his father as her partner!

And when she finally remembered him, she remembered wrong! She called him Draxus of all people!

Flashy punched the ground again and all the soldiers ignored him with their partners.

Hena was with Draxus.

Melon was with Nike.

Snow with Pimple.

Lashes with Young.

Ebony with Brownie.

And lastly, Sera was with Gerald, Flashy's dad.

Flashy lost miserably and since he can't take out his anger on anyone, so while sitting on his knees he only glared at one person whom he felt jealous of.

Draxus Maverick.

The man in question suddenly felt another killing intent but this time, he didn't even have to search for the source.

He directly turned his head around and looked at Flashy.

And since he knew what was up, he decided to play a little.

So, as a salt on Flashy's wounds, Draxus smirked.

The Heh smirk.

And that was enough for Flashy to snap.

"You shit of a crown prin—"

"SHUT UP!"

Flashy was cut short.

The reason?

Pablo screamed from the stage.

For the past five minutes, Pablo watched everything that was going on.

He wanted to stop it at the first minute but after a while, he started having fun watching Flashy.

He figured Flashy would stop it after getting rejected by every girl present but Draxus came into play, making Flashy furious and Pablo decided to chime in before things could escalate.

"Get up, Flashy." Pablo said.

Flashy obliged. He couldn't argue with Pablo.

He stood up, patted his uniform once more and stood straight.

Pablo then looked at Draxus.

"And you. That smirk wasn't necessary at all. But I don't have time to be your teacher. I only have one solution for Flashy."

Draxus bowed his head as a silent apology and Flashy waited to hear Pablo's solution.

"Flashy and Draxus would form a pair. Hena would be with Bush. That's it. No more questions."

Draxus sighed.

Hena also sighed but she didn't mind Bush. He was also a fellow slave and he was her friend too. She would have gone to Bush first herself but she wanted to learn some fighting moves too so she went to Draxus.

Nevertheless, she was satisfied with Pablo's order and went to stand beside Bush.

Meanwhile Flashy, he slammed his fist on his palm and walked towards Draxus.

He had two swords on his back and he was ready to unleash them on Draxus.

Draxus, on the other hand, didn't feel all that worried as he calmly stood there and waited for Flashy to stand beside him.

And like that, the pairings were done.

There were a total of one hundred and ten people on the ground, as a result, fifty-five groups were made.

Pablo didn't have to give the next order as the pairs already knew what to do.

Hence, they spread around the ground themselves, maintaining a proper distance from the other pairs and the size of the ground 2 helped them in that.

After everyone was set, Pablo gave some pointers.

"You all have strong bodies. You won't get tired faster. It is still very early in the morning. I want you all to fight each other till the evening. Try to use your Egoes and weapons alongside. Learn how to use both of them at the same time. No need to kill each other. Just helping.

Also, to enhance variations and change, after every one hour, change your partners. I don't give a fuck who you choose, just keep changing partners after one hour till the evening. And Flashy, no more shenanigans. Your mother is in danger. Be serious."

Pablo finished telling the last rule and Flashy finally felt a relief. He still had some chances of getting a girl. Of course, he was serious about his mother but he wasn't going to the mission right now so might as well just train with some girls.

On the other hand, Sera was tense as she was against the idea of pairing up with anyone the same age as Pablo. Nevertheless, she had to do it to not make Pablo angry.

Pablo couldn't care less about the thoughts of the people as he gave one final order.

"Fight!"

"YES!"

The soldiers obliged and instantly began the battle.

Pablo sat crossed legged on the stage and watched the clashes of weapons and Egoes.

Flashy was shouting the loudest and Pablo could only shake his head at that. His first slave would use Draxus to vent his anger.

Cupid floated beside Pablo and as usual, she had a question.

"You all are going to Hollow the day after tomorrow, what can they even accomplish in just one day of training like this?"

She asked a good question and Pablo decided to entertain her for a while.

'I am not training them for the fight, Angel.'

Cupid frowned. "Then?"

Pablo smiled.

'This is to increase their camaraderie. They should become familiar to each other in order to not become someone like me.'
