Infitration

Perseus and Jack dashed through a dark alleyway with a large group of gang members behind them.

Perseus stopped to look at the building in front of them at the end of the alleyway.

"Are you sure that, that is the casino we are hitting Jack?"

Jack nodded while butting on a bandana that covered the bottom half of his face. "yes master I can confirm that this is one of Gegeegaboo's underground casinos."

Perseus peered closer to the house and saw two sturdy-looking me standing guard at the door. Some people were constantly walking into the house, some looked like regular people with ragged expressions as they trudged into the house, others walked in confident and excited pounding on their chests as they walked in.

Perseus looked behind him, seeing the large group of gang members standing behind him all of them holding weapons with eager and blood-thirsty expressions.

Perseus let out another sigh and looked back at Jack

"and your sure that Gegeegaboo is in this casino?"

Jack responded again

"yes, he spends 80% of his time in this one specific casino we are not sure why, but he does,"

"and the other 20% percent?"

"either roaming around his territory or in his favorite entertainment facilities"

Perseus nodded and put on a white bandana that covered his face leaving his eyes blue eyes sparkling in the sun.

He turned to the gang members one more time and then with a grin turned to Jack.

"Alright, let's assault it"

Jack smiled and waved his left hand.

The gang members rushed forward with a loud clamor.

Perseus pulled out Arondight and charged in the very front a shimmering white light leaking out it the blade.

With a loud bang the doors to the casino burst open, Perseus ran in frount with his sword and a large mob of gang members streaming behind him with a loud yell.

In a flash, the gang members launched themselves towards the guards of the casino.

The guards were hopelessly outnumbered and with the intense ferocity of the gang members. They were quickly overwhelmed under the furious attacks of clubs and swords.

The casino gamblers and dwellers ran out in fear.

Perseus swept his sword around helping out a bit, but nobody really needed his help.

But then in the midst of the chaos, he heard Jack call out his name.

A small underground tunnel that had just been discovered that lead into a vault and room underground.

A skinny man wearing a black suit, sat with his hands folded neatly in frount of him as he stared at a stack of papers neatly piled up in frount of his desk.

Gegeegaboo gazed over them with a greedy expression, and taking one in his hands he started to read through it, reading it out loud in a cold voice.

"Mr and Mrs' Starke, two former adventures who turned into blades for hire. You both went down the path of paid killing, murdering many valuable targets, some of whom were very well-loved by the public, you both met each other on a mission, falling in love, marrying even having a daughter, and then running away from your past lives."

Gegeegaboo looked up from his paper to see two people kneeling on the floor bruised and beaten up a man and a woman. They seemed to be a couple, both around their 30s with a desperate expressions on their faces.

Gegeegaboo let the paper fall to the desk again as he stood up walking over while carefully placing black gloves over his hand.

He walked over to the woman and raised her head up with his hand. The woman looked up at Gegeegaboo her eyes teary and full of hopelessness.

"isn't that correct mrs Starke?"

Gegeegaboo said with a smile.

Mr Starke let out a low growl as he kneeled on the floor still reeling from his wounds.

"let my daughter go!"

Gegeegaboo let go of Mrs. Starke's chin letting her fall to the floor almost like a doll with its strings cut. He spread his arms out in a defenseless manner.

"now, now Mr. Starke I don't think I can do that, after all, the moment I did so, I would get killed instantly right?"

Mr. and Mrs. Starke both answered with silence, their heads bowed as they remembered the painful events that had just proceeded in the past few hours.

They had been living a simple life, they both had put aside their dark past and had sworn to clean up their act once they met each other. They had for a few years, even having a daughter that was dear to their hearts, and now.

Their precious daughter snatched in frount of their eyes with no way to save her, and then a vicious beating all while they heard the cries of their daughter in the background.

And now they were here, in frount of this demon in human skin who laughed as he toyed around with their fates.

"w-what do you want?"

Mr. Stark said spitting out those words.

Gegeegaboo grinned walking back to his desk pulling off his black gloves picking up a drawn picture of a very familiar face.

"it's simple really, I want you to kill this person for me, after that, your daughter is all yours again!"

Mr. and Mrs. Starke looked up at the picture. It was a young boy around 9 years old wearing rouge amour. He had brown hair and a charismatic expression.

Gegeegaboo lowered the picture

"This is Jack, a rising leader in the ripper gang, I want you to kill him."

Gegeegaboo's voice lowered

"if you don't, expect your daughter to face a fate worse than death."

Mr. and Mrs. Starke both clenched their fists furiously. But they couldn't do anything. They would have loved to burst out attacking the evil and vile person in frount of them giving him what he deserved. After all, they had done so many evil things that they were already prepared to die.

But this time, they had something holding them back.

They both took deep breaths, Mr Starke looked up shakily, though he could barely move, his eyes were shining with a resolve never seen before.

"what was his name"

Gegeegaboo smiled and tossed the image of Jack onto the floor.

"Jack," Gegeegaboo said while adding in a small giggle. "try not to fail okay~"

Gegreegaboo sat back in his chair and muttered to himself quietly

"what a shame, I wish I could have access to the slave collars that Lady Jezebel has, things would have run much more smoothly"

Mr. and Mrs. Starke both heard his mutterings clearly. Mrs. Starke gathered her energy up for one last lunge.

"uh uh uh Mrs. Starke" Gegeegaboo said shaking his finger at her.

"your daughter is currently being held in a slave trader friend of mine, only I can retrieve her, the moment I die, her fate is sealed."

Mr. and Mrs. Starke's hearts sank. Was there any way out? Was there any way to save their beloved daughter?

A young crisp voice sounded from behind the Starkes.

"yeahh, I don't believe that crap about how you're the only one who can retrieve her"

Gegeegaboo looked up to see a blond-haired swordsman with a bloodstained white mask covering the bottom half of his face leaning against the door frame. A sword hanging from his waist, it glowed in a mystical white power.

Gegeegaboo rose up and growled out

"Who are you? Guards!"

Perseus walked forward slowly pulling out Arondight out.

"you know," He said as he approached Gegeegaboo who backed up until his back hit the wall.

"I learned a few things today, one of them was that brute force can crush almost anything"

Gegeegaboo kept on yelling out for his guards who were always waiting outside. But as he backed up, he gained an angle that could look out into the hallway.

He saw his body guards laying on the ground, with blood pooling out. And a mob of gang members armed to the teeth charging through the hallways yelling as they tore through the underground casino.

There was one person who squatted down to make sure the body guards were incapacitated.

Gegeegaboo's eyes widened and his voice let out a terrified squeak.

It was a young boy around 9 years old, he wore rouge amour and had brown hair along with a charismatic expression.

Jack looked up making eye contact with the terrified Gegeegaboo.

Jack stood up, eyeing Gegeegaboo mercilessly as he walked over to Perseus who was slowly approaching Gegeegaboo.

"kill?"

"kill"

Jack flung a dagger into Gegeegaboo's thigh. He let out a loud scream.

Perseus hesitated, Jack was only a kid, and he didn't want him to do something like this. He was fine being the evil one, but Jack. It just didn't feel right.

Mrs. and Mr. Starke rose up from the ground. With pure rage and strength they leaped at Gegeegaboo.

Perseus covered Jack's eyes. It was a bit too much even for him.

Perseus let out a sigh and walked away with Jack in tow. It was no longer his business. Well, perhaps he might get involved in their circumstances for a bit more. The slave trader had caught his attention.

He walked out to the underground casino, marks of the fights were everywhere tables were smashed, coins everywhere on the floor, drinks spilled, and cracks on the walls.
