Chapter 19

*********************************************

In Andrew's Apartment at Burj Khalifa.

Andrew was putting on his suit as he was looking at the laptop screen which displayed the three heads of the Traders in the same room.

"We have to bring him down, he destroyed all of our bases and we are hiding when everything we built is destroyed," one of the Trader's Heads named Damian Schultz said.

"You think we don't get that? Can you even begin to imagine what will happen if that guy called Helios was in front of us right now? We will be begging for our lives," replied Clint Riaz.

"We need manpower, a lot, the trap we had set last time with suicide bomber went like shit, but this time we have to come up with something and make sure he perishes," said the final Trader Head Seth Kelson.

"How about we take his help?" asked Riaz.

When they uttered this both Andrew and Gerald focus quickly turned to them.

"No, he looked at us as if we are his slaves, this is not going to happen," replied Damian.

Set Kelson was contemplating whether to go or not. They were in a pinch not knowing what to do and the only solution he could think of was the same as Riaz.

"If we go with what you said Riaz, he asked us 20 children of the age 7-12 every month, this is not something we can do unless we rebuild all our bases and make it go operational, this will take us months," Seth said after contemplating.

"You, we are not going along with this," an angered Damian said.

"If you want to leave, I understand," said Seth as he snapped his fingers.

The moment he did that few people came in and dragged Damian out.

"Zestia, keep track of Damian and get the call list of all three of them for the past two months and let me know if you find any number that is different, blocked, or untraceable," I said.

"Yes, sir."

"What are you going to do to Damian?" asked Riaz with fear.

"Nothing, I will try to make him see reason if not…" said Seth.

Riaz is not a fool and could pick up what Seth said. He knew that Seth is the reason why they were able to be what they were today and the suggestion that he gave just now could have saved his life.

"Contact him and let him know we accept but we need three months before we can do what he asks for as we need to rebuild," Seth said.

"I will do it," Riaz replied as he got up and left the room.

"Gerald, I will leave and trace the call that Riaz is going to make," I said and jumped out of the room to the night sky.

I and Gerald have already removed one of the glass windows in our room.

I started to head towards Burj-Al-Arab with Zestia guiding me.

You might wonder how we were able to hear their conversation, it was all due to the bug cameras. Gerald and Zestia upgraded it from a camera to a camera and voice transmitter.

When we reached Burj Khalifa, Gerald took the time to modify some specs and send them out. He sent around 10 of them and they were able to safely enter Burj-Al-Arab with no problem.

As I was heading towards Burj-Al-Arab, I took in the sights that Dubai offered me. And from the night sky, it was beautiful. The light show had started in Burj Khalifa as well. My friends were all outside to look at this and I did let them know I was having a meeting and will join them later, hope it still goes on when I return.

The distance was close to 11 kilometers from Burj Khalifa which will not take more than 20 minutes for me.

I soon reached there and looked at the hotel. The night view of both Burj Khalifa and Burj-Al-Arab were simply beautiful. But I am not here to talk about that, I am here to paint blood inside Burj-Al-Arab.

"Gerald, I am here,"

"Seth is still in the same room going through some documents, Damian has been put back in his hotel room and locked up, and Riaz made the call and asked for assistance," I heard Gerald's voice from my earpiece.

"Did you trace it?"

"Yes, we were not able to get a specific location because the call got cut fast, it is Belarus in Eastern Europe."

Red Room? I have read in some wikis regarding the Red Room as I was interested in the origin of Black Widow and know the location of it to be in Belarus. Why is Dreykov involved with the Traders? Does he want to start a Red Room Academy in the US?

I have to figure out where his base is located. I know that they have the Academy all over the country of Belarus if not all around the world and if I am able to get the location of his main Base, I will be able to get the location of all the academies as well.

"Gerald, we will talk about this later, are the servers hacked?"

"Yes, the hotel is under our control now,"

I released my Observation Haki and it completely enveloped the building below me and I could sense everything inside it.

There were few in the restaurant having dinner, few inside their rooms sleeping, watching movies, or having sex, few in the pool and the three Traders Heads in the respective places as Gerald told me.

"I will keep Seth for the last"

I released my Conqueror's Haki as I was slowly descending to the building with Geppo.

All of them in the pool collapsed and some just submerged inside the pool.

I quickly took them all out and made them lie near the edge of the pool.

The others who were lying on the chairs and having drinks also collapsed.

I entered through the entrance and descended slowly.

I still had my Conqueror's Haki and as I descended everyone surrounding me all collapsed and had foam coming out of their mouths.

This feeling was exhilarating.

I reached the floor where Damian's room was located and killed the two guards and burnt their corpses.

I sensed Damian inside who was breaking things in anger.

I unlocked the door and entered it.

Damian who heard the door unlocked turned back to see me covered fully in the black cloak.

"Seth decided to kill me, HAHAHAHA" Damian laughed maniacally.

"No, I decided to end your miserable lives," I unsheathed my sword and covered it in flames with my Devil Fruit powers.

"You… You are him, you are that Helios,"

"No, I am the Dark King," I pierced his chest as I said that.

The flames in my sword started to burn his insides and as he was about to scream, I closed his mouth with my hands and watched him die.

I conjured the flames and threw them on his body as it started to burn not even leaving his ashes.

"Andrew both Riaz and Seth are in the same room now"

"I know"

I still had my Observation Haki and I kept track of where they are.

I went back to the stairs and descended again. The current on the stairs and floors goes off wherever I go.

"Zestia, destroy the records of them ever staying here"

"Will do, sir" Zestia replied.

I was halfway in the stairs on the floor where many guards were patrolling near their room.

I conjured Mini-Cruel Suns, 13 of them as I controlled them. They were so small in size that they could be considered as a firefly.

I navigated all of them to the 13 and snapped my fingers as they entered and burned their heart in a second.

They all slopped down to the floor. I did not want them to lose consciousness by using Conqueror' Haki. I wanted them to feel pain even if it is minuscule. Then I increased the flames and burnt off their bodies.

I went and opened the door. I was greeted by the sight of Seth and Riaz where Seth was going over some documents and Riaz patiently waiting for Seth to complete.

They both turned to face the door.

"I told not to dist…" he shut his mouth as he saw me coming inside.

Seth took the gun he had placed under the table and Riaz was also going for the gun he had in his belt.

Before they could shoot, I used Soru and reached behind them and knocked them off.

"Now, where shall I take them?" I muttered and an idea struck me.

"Andrew, hurry, some of them you knocked out are getting up in the pool, the guards are waking up be quick," Gerald said.

I carried both of them and used the window in the room to disappear in the night sky.

I charged flames on my feet and ignited them creating small blasts and used that as a propeller to increase my speed.

If people were looking at the sky, they would be able to see a streak of red.

In a few minutes, I navigated through the beach and was above 100 feet in the air holding both Seth and Riaz on each hand grasping their necks.

As they were not able to breathe, they jolted awake as they were gasping for air.

"To the one who answers my question first will be able to live, so are you both ready?"

They could not answer anything and could only nod their heads.

"Who is the one who is going to help you in taking Helios down?"

I relaxed my hands a bit so one of them could answer.

"We don't know his name," both Seth and Riaz answered at the same time.

I knew they were lying and started to choke their necks again.

I was still using Geppo and rising to the sky.

"Now, you better answer me, I might not kill you till you answer but soon you will not be able to breathe, can't you see we are still moving up"

Then only did both of them realize that. I just need confirmation if it is Dreykov or not and once I get that I will be killing them both.

"You are going to kill us either way, best to die and you will be wondering who is after Helios, HAHAHAHA," Seth said as he laughed a bit cracked up in the middle as I choked him harder.

"One of you will live and the other one will die, I will watch the one remaining and if he does not go back to his old ways, I will let him live," I looked at Riaz as I said this. I was also showing how serious I was through my voice.

Riaz quickly answered, "Dreykov."

"YOU FOOL!!!" Seth roared in anger but started to cough as I started to increase the pressure in my hands.

'Dreykov? Why did he want to help them in taking down Helios? He would not have contacted these fools if he was not getting something. There must be someone else who wants me and is using Dreykov. But who?'

Both Seth and Riaz felt the air thinning.

"Thank you"

I created two balls of mini cruel suns and directed them to both of their mouths.

When it reached their mouth, their faces melted and entered inside as it burned every part it was going to.

I released both of them as they started to drop down in full force.

They were screaming in pain as they were being burnt from the insides.

I snapped my fingers as the cruel sun expanded from the inside, the temperature increased to a very high degree and consumed them as a whole.

I head back to my room within 20 minutes as Gerald was waiting for me.

"What were you able to find out?" Gerald questioned.

"The one who decided to help them out was someone named Dreykov. Go through the Criminal Records in Belarus, if you do not find anything look into the Government of Belarus, he should have a high position. He would require a lot of resources if he decided to help them out in taking me 'Helios' down."

"Why would someone from Belarus want you?"

"That's a question I can't answer since I don't know the answer for it, we will know as time goes"

This is going to be troublesome. I have to figure out quickly on why he wants me.

Gerald put the suitcase in the closet and turned to me and said, "Ms. Claire came by and asked if you were free, she wanted to talk to you about an important issue it seems."

I felt a headache coming.

"I will go and meet her, where is she?"

"Ms. Claire, Mr. Mike, and Mr. Ray are in the Restaurant, Andrew"

"Let's go"

"I will join with you after I fix this window back"

I went to the Glass pane placed to the side, "Four hands will be quick," I smiled and Gerald joined.
