CHAPTER SEVEN

Jonathan came to a running landing right at the front of the warehouse, his wings already drenched by the heavy rain, he dropped down Jade and watch as Remi also came to a running landing beside him, standing before the warehouse, they both except Jade could see and smell evil aura emitting from inside.

"They are all dead, about fifteen of them" Remi said and made his mouth vibrate, sending water droplets off.

"And this time the evil around here is much more greater than the others we have seen so far, this time its like someone already mastered the book and has total control over it" Jonathan added and flapped his wings hard into the air.

"The scent is completely concealed" Remi said as they approached the entrance of the warehouse, hoping to find some kind of clue of something that could be of help.

Entering into the warehouse, the entire ground was filled with blood and already dried bodies, with no single trace of blood in them, all dried up.

"This is evil completely lurking around" Jade said as she returned her gun back to the back. "Tsk, this is getting really tough, lets check around for things that can give us clues, phones or anything that can give us a clue" Jade said and walked closer to the cars.

"The phone was finally unlocked and we found the last call they all made, it linked to one person, goes by the name code name KillScent, real name Khalid Amusa, and we managed to lay hands on their conversation, seems our guy told them about the book and he was willing to auction it to them, but he bailed on them, killed them and cart off with their monies, about 2billion from each of them in cash" Jade said and passed a file each to both Remi and Jonathan.

"This is record, seems he is even on your most wanted list" Jonathan said and heaved.

"Yes" Jade replied and relaxed her back on her chair in her office.

"I already have my team trail him, and we have a report on his current location and I told them to be on standby already, and update me on any development" Jade added staring at Jonathan "So we should just sit and wait"

"I am sorry that is a luxury we cant afford" Jonathan said and stood up from his seat "Come on Remi, we can't waste any more time"

Remi nodded positively and stood up, raised his hands up and spoke.

"All my years of existence, witnessing every single kind of civilization right from the silver age down to this industrial age, I have never seen a type of evil roam this world like this, even at its early stage, the great war of Ayenireti I fought didn't have an evil as close as this" Remi said looking deep at Jade.

Jade made a questioning look on her face and suddenly it lighten up.

"Wait, the popular great war?" She asked.

"Yes" Remi replied.

"Jeez, how many of you old hags are roaming this world?" She asked

"Two more that I know" Remi added and turned around to face Jonathan.

"Come on we have to leave"

"Wait, I am coming along, I will call off my squad, so you can have all the fun you want" Jade said and stood up, grabbed her gun and raised it up, cracked the gun and smiled with the corner of her lips.

"Just so you know, I have no obligation of saving you when you get in the crossfire" Jonathan said coldly

"Same here" Remi added and took his eyes off her.

Jade drove the car through the highway, Jonathan sitting at the front seat while Remi made himself comfortable at the back seat, positioning himself at the middle. He leaned forward and took a long look at Jonathan.

"It is quite irritating when you focus so much on me" Jonathan said without batting an eye to the back.

Remi smiled and leaned back on the seat and sighed.

"We could really use someone like you in the Cherub of Justice or the Defense Society" Remi said and smiled, with his eyes closed.

Jonathan grinned and looked at Remi through the mirror hanging above

"I have a file from Akure about Cherub of Justice, some politicians wanting us to look into the case, seems they think the security outfit over there are not capable or something, about Defense Society, what is that?" Jade asked, still focused on the driving.

"It's a branch of the COJ but for the younglings" Remi replied and yawned "And I still don't get why we have to drive, when we could easily fly and get there in less than 10 minutes"

"I need you both to conserve all strength necessary"

"Flight is more like walking for me, I don't really know about the guy at the back"

"Tsk" was all Remi could manage to get himself to say.

Killscent on a red leathered chair, designed at the edges with wonderful carving, and on both arm of the chair were carving of snakes, each with having their fangs exposed and their slithering tongues rolled out.

Before him were his goons, all dressed in black suit, a total of 201, each wielding a rifle at the very least a pistol with them.

"Who brought in the proceeds from Bethel?" he asked in his usual calm voice, that never depicts anything about his evil acts and thoughts

"I boss" a goon replied and stepped forward from behind, he stopped some few steps away from where Killscent was seated.

"You brought in an incomplete"

The goon was caught unaware by the words of his boss, losing his voice and instantly going dumb, he couldn't find the right words to say

"I am sorry boss, my kid needed to get treatment for is illness, I took just one and sold it off at the black market" the man replied, already sweating all over his face and palms.

Killscent stood up and smiled brightly, as raised his hands up and suddenly his wrist down to the finger tips went up in flames

"Lies and more lies, you've all have been stealing from me, right under my nose, but since I have had this powers, I have never been the same" he said and smiled as he walked closer to the man.

"I hope you find forgiveness in the next world"

"Plea….see boss, boss, I am ever loyal to you, boss please" the man pleaded for his life as Killscent got closer, fear written all over his face.

Killscent got closer and smacked the man's face, which instantly burnt off the head, leaving no single trace, the neck instantly burnt up, preventing flow of blood.

"Take him out, more of you are going to join him today, who delivered the drugs to the middle man at the airport, step forward" Killscent said and chuckled.
