The Gods' Decree 140 Benzalo & Marco

" Just business.., why do you always say this? Is it to ease your conscience little brother?"

The new arrival bore a striking resemblance to Kathy's killer, the only difference being the more visible age lines on his face...

"Why are you here Marco? Everything was under control..."

He responded without looking at the man as he ate Kathy's last meal..

"So you saw the little birdie outside, why then were you so surprised when I spoke, Junior?"

Marco's eyes crinkled at the corners as he spoke...

" I Told you never to call me that name..."

The man referred to as Junior for the first time had some form of reaction displayed on his face after his brother's word.

" It's been 30 years let the old man rest in peace, though I know he is rolling in his grave after how you have handled things.."

As Marco spoke he shared himself some of the food on the table...

" Hmmm, damn that girl of yours sure has a way with food, well had..."

He continued with a bit of satire in his wording...

" You're just as sadistic as he was, no pity or remorse for the dead. Killing the innocent without batting an eye. Is life of no importance in your eyes brother?"

Junior questioned after his brother's words..

" Hehe, we are the sadistic ones you say. Little bro, here you are eating the food of your most recent lover, which she prepared for you out of love.

Her corpse now lays in bed after you literally obliterating her heart. What could be more vicious and perverse? It seems your blood is thicker than mine."

As Marco spoke he laughed at the irony...

" This is my means of mourning, through partaking in the meal, i honor her. What could be so wrong with that? However, you enjoy death with such perversion. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Ask yourself, are you any different from those Devils..? Now there is some understanding as to why you took this particular mission, dragging me along with you.

After this I will be nothing more than a mass murderer."

Junior dismissively spoke and true to his words he savored each bite as it graced his lips. His words seemingly provoked Marco into a reaction as he smashed the table causing it to collapse..

"If you're thinking I am anything like those beings, you are gravely mistaken. Have you forgotten the tales of what the lands were like before their going into exile? Do you think what happened to the Mist of Life sect 1 was anything?

My dare brother that was just the straw that broke camel's back. Trust me when i say, if i dared to refuse that girl.

  Benzalo 2 we both would be crying for relief through agonizing death at this moment.

Don't let her childish looks fool you, she is an old devil. So it was either be killed or make a fortune being the latter option. It is better to be the hand of the devil than in its path."

Marco then calmed himself as he tried letting his brother understand his decision making...

Sigh...

" I honestly do understand brother. Before we choose what jobs we accepted, now we are forced. Might this be Karma for all we have done in the past?

Now we lack freedom and after what we are tasked to do, our souls."

As Benzalo spoke he viewed a purple mark on his hand. It felt as though with each second it zapped away at his life force..

Marco knew the thoughts which occupied Benzalo's mind as he too was thinking the same when he felt a pain on his wrist. It was as though his soul was being eaten and burnt at the same time.

" Brother is it smart to trust the words of a Devil? What is to say she won't renege on the contract.."

A wry laugh came from Benzalo as he summed up the situation in which they found themselves.

" This is a risk I must admit. I have read the contract thoroughly so there is no need to worry. The good thing, however, is we have received our payment beforehand.

After we have completed the task there is no need to see that old bitch again."

Marco shook his head as his brother's words did hit home.

Why do you think they have resurfaced?"

Benzalo then asked as the thought did linger in his mind for a while...

" It is not known the reason behind it brother. Even tasking us with this mission makes no sense, but that girl of yours did have the right idea in leaving.

When we have completed our task we should leave this land.

My guess is it will only be filled with death and despair if it is eyed by those beings. However, this is above us, let's clean up then depart as that little birdie's party is on its way.

" From this point on we will do this task as I initially intended. This is not the time for mercy Benzalo. I understand your reasoning but poisoning the water supply only made that city lord become more suspicious requesting help, even with his advisor stating otherwise.

After they have confirmed their reports and our cover is laid. We will then proceed in eradicating them."

Hearing his older brother's words Benzalo knew he had no say in the matter. Soon the two disappeared leaving nothing out of place.

Kathy's body too had disappeared from her home. Outside Karr's corpse was nowhere to be seen. It was as though the things that occurred, never were.

However, even lord realm cultivators weren't perfect and left clues behind. Was this intentional or negligence on their part...

🌟🌟🌟 Meanwhile🌟🌟🌟

Within one of the many bars that lined the lively streets of Starlight City....

" Love, tonight I'm celebrating an auspicious occassion as I've received the best news yet from the wife. Give everyone a round on my behalf."

A brawny man spoke as he grabbed the waitress who had a tray filled liquor. His hands were raised in the air as his mug spilled some of its contents.

" Did she finally decide to leave your worthless ass, Cruz..?"

A patron taunted as the man held his mug in his hand. Which caused a chorus of laughter within the pub..

" At least I have a wife and my hands are not what I use for pleasure. Tell me, why is your right-arm seemingly so much more muscular than the left?

Let me guess , overuse.  You better be careful, I hear in your case it leads to it seizing. Becoming nothing more than a mere claw.

Soon we might just have to call you that Shen, or should I say claw." Cruz returned the man's jeers in kind. This too brought forth some laughter..

" Well get on with it, we are all ears.." The waitress hurried as he had yet to speak of the occasion...

" Yes, yes...turns out my beautiful wife has a bun in the oven..." Cruz spoke proudly which caused huge cheers as mugs clashed as pinging sounds could be heard all round...

" Now let's cheer for the dad. My question is where is he, shouldn't he be here by now.." Another patron jest which led to a back and forth in the pub...

Sitting within a corner of the pub by his lonesome was a man with fiery hair. It was Malgrey who at the moment could care less about Cruz and his seeming huge feat. Soon a seat was pulled at the other end of the table...

" Aah.., I love a good celebration. Congratulations to you Cruz and may your home be filled to the brim.

If it isn't captain fantastic.."

As Malgrey looked up he saw a youth with dreads taking a seat. In his hand was a mug filled to the brim. It could be seen, he contrary to Magrey, wasn't averse to partaking in Cruz's celebration.

" I'm not in the mood, kid." Magrey stated in a serious manner...

" Down in the dumps I see. Could this perhaps involve your slight oversight for that advisor Kathy?"

Taf uttered as he took a big gulp of the contents of the mug. This caused Malgrey to only shake his head.

" So it is true, i'm inferior even to a kid.." Malgrey lamented as he then disclosed Ava's words.

" Seems that Ava really laid into you, huh. Well, so what if you didn't see and are somewhat inexperienced?

No one is perfect, to walk we must first fall. I don't usually do this, but I'm in a good mood at the moment, and quite frankly you are bringing me down.

Let me give you a few words of wisdom which my teacher once told me...

There are two choices that can be made when one meets a hurdle on the pathway of life. Do you go back toward safety or forward towards growth?

If it's the latter, growth must be chosen again and again; So too must fear be overcome again and again."

 Taf then belched before placing his mug on the table after speaking. His words did cause Malgrey to think somewhat...

" From what I see of the squad, i do like them. That Lovren has his annoying moments but he at least has guts and so does Niesha.

You have a good team and so far I would think your job has been well done. However, now you are tasked with Shepherding them into a stratum they have never been before.

They believe in you, so basically what I am saying is, grow a pair."

Hearing Taf's last words Malgrey could do nothing but crack a grin as he heard his advice. This kid really saw himself as an elder.

" Now let's have a drink while I wait on Malnor. That fellow really is tardy isn't he? He makes me look like a model student."

As Taf looked around for Malnor he saw Malgrey's hand pressed on his transmitter while his expression changed.
