Settling Scores with the James Family

Ban scanned the streets and saw a familiar person inside a car in the dark alley. He squinted his eyes at the weakest assassin and the latter stepped forward. He used the Soul Catcher technique and the the assassin lost his life just like that.

*Swish!*

The assassin's body slumped to the ground and Ban absorbed the latter's soul for inquiries.

"So his name is Dame Pitt, father of Derrick. Beside him is that Holly Watson, my step-mother." Ban muttered calmly. He then turned invisible and approached the two in a flash. The assassins also followed suit as they jumped from the rooftop and arrived at the car a few seconds later.

Dame noticed his elites returned and he came out of the car to welcome them. He asked in a stern voice, "You guys are slow. You spent more than an hour just to finish a brat?"

"..."

The assassasins didn't reply while they remained silent.

Dame became irritated, but as long as the job was done, he can finally relax. He waved his hand, "Go back to the mansion and wait for further instructions."

"..."

The assassins didn't move as if they didn't hear Dame at all.

Dame frowned and shouted, "What are you waiting for?! Move out!"

"..."

Holly also noticed the abnormal atmosphere outside and she got out of the car. She frowned and asked Dame, "What's with your outburst? Didn't that brat already dead?"

Dame knitted his brow while he stared at the assassins deeply.

'Something's wrong here...'

"You finally noticed."

Ban's calm voice resounded at the back of the assassains. He slowly walked forward and the assassains gave way to him.

Dame and Holly's expression changed greatly.

"Why are you here?! You should be dead!" Holly exclaimed in surprise as she pointed at Ban. She turned to the elites and shouted, "Why are you giving him a way? Kill him! Kill that brat now!"

"It's useless." Ban shook his head as he stopped right in front of the two.

Dame took a step back and glanced at his trusted man, Troy, who was at the driver's seat.

"I said it's useless." Ban's repeated his words which made Dame widened his eyes. He then clenched his fist and dashed towards Ban, initiating a punch.

Ban smiled and caught the fist with his finger.

Dame staggered backwards as he glanced at Ban with fear.

Ban raised his hand and four elites restrained Dame and Holly easily. He turned to Dame "I don't have any resentments with you. Why are you still disturbing my peaceful life and courting for death instead?"

Dame struggled, but it was all for naught. He replied, "This is all a misunderstanding, young man. I know that you are strong and I know my limits. I wouldn't touch you even if you give me a hundred guts. It was this b*tch here that needed my assistance. I didn't really know that you are the target of the operation."

Holly changed her expression and pointed at Dame resentfully, "You! I gave you everything you need, you bastard! How can you turn your back away from me!?" She then turned to Ban and said with pleading face, "Thomas. I am your step-mother, Holly. How could I harm you? You're like a son to me. Please, let me go. For the sake of my sister, Flora. This is all a misunderstanding..."

Ban rolled his eyes at their plights. Any st*pid person can clearly read their motives. How could he let them go now that this matter became this bloody. He said to her, "You don't need to explain anymore, Holly. I know that you are trying to kill me because of the inheritance of the family. My lover got even involved and now was getting injured because of your doing. And furthermore, you even made a move to my mother and that is really provoking my ire." He already read her thoughts why she wanted to kill him. Turned out she wanted her son to be the next patriach of the Watson family.

"And you, Dame Pitt. I don't have much resentment towards you. Its just that, you sold my current location to her which made this mess became big. Furthermore, you made a mistake for targeting my mother as your plaything." He added as he glanced at Dame.

"Any last words?"

Ban question made their knees felt weak.

Holly and Dame felt despair in their hearts. They began to regret their actions as death is approaching towards them.

Dame gritted his teeth and shouted, "How much money do you want?! I am rich! I will buy my life if that is your aim!"

Ban shook his head, "It's not about the money." He paused as he smiled. He continued, "To tell you the truth. I indeed turn your precious son into his current state for offending me. Now it will be your turn."

Dame widened his eyes as it turned red from rage. He wanted to say something when his eyes turned vacant.

Ban casted the Soul Catcher skill to Dame before the latter can say anything. He would be annoyed if he heard his rantings.

Holly shivered when Ban turned his gaze at her.

"Any last words?" He asked.

"Please..." Holly resigned to fate as she continued, "Don't do anything to my son. He's innocent. I... I just wanted to have my son a good future. Don't blame him for this." She smiled sadly as she slowly closed her eyes.

Ban paused his actions as her plight was effective to him. He read her thoughts and found out that she really regretted her actions and was only doing this action for the love to her son. A mother's selfish love.

"It's easy to kill you as killing an ant everytime I want." Ban said and pointed at Dame. He continued, "My original plan is to make you a living zombie that can live a normal life with your son. However, you really got me this time. I know the feeling of losing loved ones. Even though your son is just like you, a despicable person, he's still a human, have emotions. I can tell that you are sincere, so I will give you a chance. A chance to change. This will be your last warning. Stay away from my mother and my sister. You can still live here in the Capital. I also don't need your pitiful inheritance. I am a multi-billionaire bastard. Keep your inheritance to yourself. I will take my mother away from this filthy place and she will live with me in Angeles City. Don't ever try to provoke me again or I will erase you and your son's existence in this planet." Ban's eyes turned into glowing purple for a few good seconds before returning to normal.

Holly slumped to the ground as she pissed herself due to fear. Those glistening purple eyes that stared at her very soul made her felt terror from within.

Ban took a deep breath and didn't wait for her to reply. He still have matters to accomplish tonight. He then disappeared in a flash followed by Dame, Troy and the elites leaving Holly and the car in the cold windy night.

Holly tried to stand up, but she couldn't gather any strength. She muttered, "Was I wrong about him all this time? I thought he came back here to..." She realized that Ban can really do anything he pleases and how wrong she was. Seeing how terrifying her step-son was, money shouldn't be a problem.

Holly especially paid more attention to those beautiful yet spine-chilling eyes that made her soul tremble for a long time.

It took her a while before she regained her mobility and entered the car, leaving the place in silence.

...

Ban entered the territory of a famous family in the Capital at night with his familiars.

"James family. It's time to settle our score..."

Ban waved his hand as the elites with Dame and Troy scattered all over the place. He then turned invisible and will be watching the place turn into a warzone in just a couple of minutes from now.
