CHAPTER FIVE

Remi threw a lifeless body against the wall and jumped down from the ninth floor of the club house, down to the ground floor, the bullets fired at him bounced off instantly while he continued to press forward, smashing and breaking bones of his opponent, who were dressed in black suits.

Jonathan appeared behind him and flapped his wings furiously, which sent off the other gunmen off balance.

"Show off" Remi said, both of them standing before a bunker.

"He should be in here" Jonathan said, starring at the heavy metal before them.

He placed his hands on the door of the bunker and pushed his palm forward, which in return pushed the door of the bunker inward.

"That is one brute strength" Remi thought within himself and smiled.

Remi adjusted the black of piece around his face and walked behind Jonathan into the bunker.

"It's a lady" Jonathan said disappointed, staring at the fair lady curled up in fright on the only chair in the bunker room.

"The aura is strong around her, which means the rhyme was with her for a long time, seems she read it" Remi replied and clinched his fist.

Jonathan walked closer to the lady and spread out his wings, he stretched out his left hand and slowly a sword appeared on it, a sword made of angelic blood, shiny, and the very impression it gave was intimidating.

"What do you know about the rhyme?" Jonathan asked the lady who all these while hasn't raised her head to look up at him.

Jonathan raised up his sword and swayed it in the air, he sent it swiftly towards her neck and stopped immediately the sword made contact with her neck.

"Once a chosen vessel and strength

The sword that bring forth light

Slow melodious tunes began to play in the bunker room, from nowhere in particular, so melodious, Jonathan slowly made his sword dispersed and took few steps backward, mesmerized by the melody that played and the beautiful vocals that proceeded out of the lady's mouth

"I am the sword of evil once justice

The girl slowly stood up and began to walk closer to Jonathan and murmuring inaudible words, cold winds suddenly filled the bunker.

SWWOOSSHHH!!! The lady's head suddenly fell off her body, her lifeless body immediately fell to the ground.

"What was that?" Jonathan asked confused as he shook his head lightly and in confusion

"I believe that was part of the rhymes, she was able to decode an ancient language" Remi replied and threw his glowing sword in the air and made it disappear. "But seems she was so good in decoding, she made some few errors, which gave the chance to act, I think we should know what kinds of lyrics are in those rhymes, I believe this particular one is based on reflection"

"Yeah, within that short moment, all my previous life played before me, even from the day I sold Lasagba the idol that sent me into this mess" Jonathan said and turned around to look at Remi.

"But we still know so little about this book, we are moving around blindly"

"I can tell you some useful information about it" Dan replied standing outside the bunker.

Jade placed her hand on the neck of a dead body, while it was in the body bag, about to be carried away by the medics, she watched as lifeless bodies were moved out in multiples from the underground building.

"Those this have to do with the recent rumors of mafia groups going after one another, killing themselves because of some book of sort" a lanky man dressed in a grey shirt and blue jean trouser asked

"My hunch tells me that, but these guys were not killed by something we know, the hole in the ground says it all" She replied and sighed.

"On the bright side, we should watch from the shadow and watch them take themselves out" the man added and smiled.

"Tch, in this week alone, five mafia groups have gone up against themselves, and it seems someone not related is doing the job of taking them completely out, this feels more strange" she said and excused herself from the man.

She brought out her phone as she walked into the distance, she dialed a number and placed her phone on her ear.

"Are you Jade?" Remi asked behind her.

She turned around with a questioning look on her face.

"Yes"

"Jonathan asked me to get you" Remi said and looked at the medics who were rolling in dead bodies into the ambulance.

"Is it related?" She asked

"Yes" Remi replied

Jonathan pointed his middle finger at Jade's head and suddenly it glowed green, he aimed at her forehead and shot the green light right at the middle of her head.

"Who that was fast" Jade said and placed her hand on her head "So lets assume there is someone who finally knows how to decode this rhymes, we are looking at grade one trouble, isn't it?"

"Hmm, and the problem is we don't have the data to get ourselves up to date about any recent mafia clash so we can know what next to do" Remi added

"I hate to admit it, but we don't have that kind of resources also, we are really outdated, but I know someone who might help" Jade said and starred at Remi "And who are you?" She asked so as to clarify her curiosity.

"Remi, I am a spirit or human god" Remi replied with a bright smile.

"Huunnhh" Jade replied in total awe "You said that like something very important"

"The contact you want to make; we have no time" Jonathan interrupted.
