Chapter 91: Last day in the world 1
Neo pov
" My brother was stupid that's why he died . "
After these words , Viper just shook his head and walked off .
" I have information , plan and support ! This time Xiong surely surely disappear from Vale ! Come on I just need to borrow .... "
Grey shouted getting up from the couch and slamming his glass on the table . But before he could finish Viper ran to the table and punched him in the face , causing Grey to sit back down . The two half-naked women next to him , seeing the look on their boss's face , quickly got up and left understanding that Grey was no longer a guest of their gang .
" Don't forget your place ..... I do not care about your contacts and information . We are in Vale where large families rule . I doubt that any support would help change anything here . "
Said bluntly Viper , looking and pointing his finger at Grey , whose nose was bleeding staining his suit with blood . Grey , however, did not get angry for this punch to the face . He only giggled and whispered something under his breath , meanwhile, examining his bleeding nose .
Unfortunately I could not hear what he was whispering there .However , this whole action itself was so funny that it made me smile , it also meant that the show was worth watching .It was like watching a drama , but with less of that lame acting and more realism . The only disappointment was the lack of a bigger fight . However, this could still change , which I was looking forward to.
" Spider syndicate ..... Lil' Miss Malachite herself . No unnamed insignificant member , but the fucking lady Lil' Miss Malachite gave me this information herself . "
Said Grey and his face became serious and his tone defiant . A cold look could be seen in his eyes and a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth .
' Apparently this is his trump card . However , couldn't he have said it earlier ? If he had done so he certainly would have avoided the punch to his face ? '
I wondered without worrying too much about the implications of what was said . At most , it caused me to roll my eyes and the obvious appearance of annoyance . However, Viper had a reaction completely opposite to mine . Hearing this , his eyes widened . His movements also froze , the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat . Looking at his reaction , I felt strange .
' Should I ... I do not know , be afraid ? Be impressed ? '
I wondered , seeing how Viper reacts to the mere mention of the spider . In the eyes of small gangs like this , syndicates and crime families must be really scary . However, for us ? Kurumi , me and Emerald . We cooperate with the two largest families on Vale , and we have the support of the third one . We also have some control over the largest information gathering group on Vale .
There is simply nothing that make me afraid of them . I believe that I am already strong enough not to fear a few thugs . Of course, Kurumi repeats that we are not invincible , with which I agree . After all , the memory of the bullet that almost decapitated me , is not easy to forget . However, it's not that I have any trauma or something . Simply , it was a reminder to me that I am not strong enough yet .
However , the whole thing with this bullet , was some time ago . I'm no longer a helpless children . I trained and became better . I am not saying that I would have avoided or survived a shot of such caliber from such close range . However, I certainly would have realized earlier that something was wrong and would have dodged .
Summarizing , we have the support and skills, which allows us not to be afraid of the group , who does not really know anything about us and do not have any real power in the Vale . Ultimately, as long as we do not throw ourselves under the spotlight , there is no real threat to us from them . After all , it is highly likely that they know nothing about us . So being honest . Hearing that it's them again , I'm not even surprised or scared . Just tired .
' After all , how orginal . Are there no other gangs or syndicates in this world ? '
I asked myself , being more and more annoyed by this group . Of course I knew that it is not that only they exist . The matter is that only they want to develop now . And especially they want to develop in the Vale, they want to slip their business to the Vale. But why ? I do not know . But Kurumi is likely to know , she is interested in this and often talks with Big Mom or others about this kind of subjects .
' Although , the truth is that we have only had to deal with each other twice . The first time , when they pursued me and kidnapped me . Then , during the escape we burned their hideout in the museum . They lost enough then , that they had to withdraw from the Vale . '
' And the second time . In this whole thing with selling illegal dust ... No..... Wait .Was it a syndicate spider at all ? It was just one crazy woman from spider , a museum survivor and the people she hires to carry out the spider's plan . So , the plan belonged to the spider syndicate but people , not really . '
When I think about it like that . It really sounds , like we only once had to deal with a spider as such . However, there is no need to think so much about it . A task is a task . Does it matter whose plans we destroy or who we kill ? As long as Kurumi says that we kill , I will kill .
'But , it is still not certain , that there would be any conflict between us at all . Just because it is related to the spider doesn't mean they will be directly involved . They may have simply sold the information and give some kind of indirect support or something like that . '
I think , turning my attention to the conversation in front of me .
" I have support and information from the spider syndicate . And not just any information , I have information with which I can intimidate some important people . "
Said Grey wiping the blood from his nose with the sleeve of his jacket . Kurumi only raised her eyebrows slightly at the information given to us . After a moment , however , a wild smile appeared on her face , announcing to me that she had been waiting for this . I for one already felt that this would be the case .
After all , he said about Ms. Malachite herself . So this information he get , can not be so simple . Of course as long as he is not lying . If he is not lying , and really received information about important people . Looking at his approach and confidence in defeating Xiong , the matter may become serious .
' In the end no one wants to be blackmailed . In particular not the people in power . Who knows how it all would have turned out , if the matter had reached the right people .'
I think , stretching out my stiff body . Ultimately none of this sounds like our problem . However, it certainly foreshadows another tough moment for Vale . Or at least foreshadowed , looking at our goals today , this whole thing can be nipped in the bud .
While I was looking at Kurumi and having my thoughts , Grey reached into a pocket inside his jacket . After that he put some crumpled pieces of paper on the table . Looking at the crumpled papers , then at Grey who was embarrassed because of the state of the papers , Viper just snorted. He did not even move from his position , apparently not interested in the papers .
" Aren't you curious ? "
Asked Grey with indifference, as if he did not care if Viper read it. Apparently Viper just did not want to get involved , but probably out of sheer curiosity he took a few of these sheets of paper and after unfolding them he began to read .
And the longer he did it the more serious his face became . I really wanted to see for myself what changed his expression so quickly . However , I could not do it without ruining our entire work . So , in the end , I could only look at the ridiculous expression on his face .
" If true.... No it can't be . How would anyone know that ? Are you kidding me !"
Said Viper becoming more and more angry , apparently thinking that he was deceived . Grey, however, watched calmly as Viper prepared to tear up the papers .
" Say what you want ... Spider has information on almost everyone in the richer spheres of Vale . They have information on Vale city councilors themselves . I myself do not know how they got them . However I know they have them and you have it in front of you . If you don't believe it check this info and call me . "
Said Grey calmly , with dried blood under his nose and a victorious smile on his face .
' He said it with such confidence that even I could not help but believe that he was telling the truth . Although the information may have been false and he just thinks it is the truth . '
I thought , a little amused at this possibility . Well it would certainly be amusing to watch that confident expression on his face disappear . Unfortunately I could never witness that . Not after today . After all , today is his last day in the world .
Meanwhile while I was thinking about my stuff , Grey was preparing to take a sip from his glass . And looking one the context and flow of the conversation I was already sure that this was the last sip , which will close the conversation .
Kurumi fortunately was also aware of this . So at that moment she also took action . Emerald had already closed her eyes focusing on her task . Kurumi, meanwhile, with a quick flick of her gloved hand, poured the poison from the vial right under our target's nose. After taking a sip from the glass , Grey did not even notice anything . He put down the glass , got up from the couch , corrected his suit and headed for the exit .
" Remember my offer ....."
Said Grey with the intention of saying something else however he abruptly stopped his words . It was just at the moment when I doubted whether the poison had worked . But it certainly worked. I saw it. The veins on his neck swelled up and his face became red. Grabbing his heart Grey crumpled in pain and blood gushed from his nose .
After that he fell to the ground , where he writh in agony . Blood began to flow from his bloodshot eyes . Looking at his wet pants and the stain on the ground , I knew that he pissed himself , after which he died .
' HaHahahaA ..... Pussy '
I thought while laughing soundlessly because of the way he passed out of this world .
' Great man ... he pissed himself and died ..... Haha ! I will certainly remember him .... HaHAAhaha hahah what a way to leave this world .'
I laughed internally , ignoring all the commotion that began after that event . Viper was the first to notice that something was wrong so he got up to help Grey . Understanding what was going on he started to look around, but seeing nothing he looked back at Grey. Apparently, he didn't know what to do .
At this time two of Grey's men who were standing by the room rushed in and saw Viper crouching over the poisoned Grey . Knowing his nature as a Viper faunus they immediately had a bad understanding of the whole situation . And so before Viper had time to explain anything , Grey's men had already reached for their weapons . Forcing Viper who knew that they would immediately shoot him , to rush at them .
However, the details of the fight itself did not matter to us . We continued to stand in the corner of the VIP lodge finishing our business . While Viper was busy with Grey's men . Kurumi with the help of her shadow hands emerging from the shadows of the table , put the poison vial and business card on the table .
Thanks to the fact that neither of us caught the vial or the business card without gloves , there were no fingerprints left . At this point we should have gone but Kurumi seemed to be hesitating because of something . Looking at the place where her gaze falls , I saw that she was looking at the papers that Grey gave to the viper .
