Chapter 107

The sun has started to set, and the streetlights have started to come on. A half-eaten lunch is strewn across the table, and the wine bottle is only halfway full. The briefcases are open and resting on the bed, exposing a real arsenal of disassembled firearms, countless clips, and boxes of ammo. Gideon, who is seated at the desk, stops cleaning a gun to pour wine into his glass. Once finished, he pulls back the slide, carefully loads a clip with bullets, releases it, and slides the clip, loaded and locked, into the handgun.

Gideon chooses a silencer from a little wooden case and fastens it to the gun. Along with a pump action shotgun, sniper rifle, submachine gun with polished wood stock, machete, and another pistol, he places it on the ground. Standing up, Gideon puts the silenced gun in the back of his pants, puts on his jacket, turns out the light, and walks out.

Heat lights were used liberally to accommodate the many young women's nearly nonexistent dresses as the line wound around the side of the INN. Gideon approaches a security guard in his mid-30s who is Spanish, large, scary, and has a tattooed neck. His suit is intentionally one size too small, and the guest list is flashing on his tablet computer. It appears that Luna is aware of Gideon's need to get revenge.

The security guard asked, "Name?"

He receives three-hundred-dollar bills from Gideon.

"I'm just a transient visitor."

The security guard takes the cash, puts it in his pocket, and releases the red velvet rope to let him inside. Welcome, transient visitor.

Thank you, Gideon said.

The people in front of the line object when Gideon enters but are ignored as the rope is reattached. Surprisingly, the foyer is calm and welcoming. Roughly a dozen customers can choose from one bar while they relax on the floor, smoking, laughing, and chatting as workers pacing the area dish a selection of food. The "action," it would appear, is on the top level, but beyond the lobby is a security station complete with a metal detector in front of the elevators.

In addition to tying his shoe and getting down on one knee to remove his silenced weapon and bury it deep in a potted plant, Gideon pauses as he approaches the security station. Gideon gets up, emptying his pockets into a tiny plastic container before handing it to a guard and passing through unharmed.

As he collected his belongings, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the red "L" for lobby, Gideon wished everyone a good day.

The elevator doors open as the loud music begins. After leaving, Gideon makes a left turn inside a two-story building where the VIPs are gathered in the lower basement and have all paid for their own private tables. Gideon walks in and thoroughly inspects the space. He waves the bartender down as he approaches the establishment.

What can I get you, sir?" the bartender enquired.

Gideon slips through six-hundred-dollar bills while making an upward motion. Please, a table, Gideon said.

The bartender looks him over before taking his money. "That way."

Following the bartender, who hands a hundred dollar note to each of the thugs on either side of the staircase before heading upstairs and giving the waitress two more bucks, Gideon enters the building. Before going back to the bar, the bartender added, "Sir, please enjoy your time.

The waitress said, "This way, sir."

The waitress directs Gideon to a table with an ideal vantage point of both levels.

Will this work, sir? the waitress questioned.

Gideon nodded at the waitress and replied, "Yes, thank you," before sitting down.

What kind of beverage would you like? asked the server.

The Bowmore Range. Please, a drink of Scotch. She received another $500 from Gideon. And open a tab for me, my love.

"Sir, yes. I have everything you need, the waitress said with a smile.

"Perfect. Thank you, sweeAnnart," Gideon said.

Gideon searches the floor and upper balcony as the waitress turns to take his order. Gideon's eyes got smaller. After finishing his glass, he gets up to follow Rye while nearly gasping for air. Rye slaps a waitress on the ass as he passes past, flanked by two powerful bodyguards who watch his every move.

Looking at the waitress's body, Rye exclaimed, "Another bottle of the Tequila, sexy!"

As soon as Gideon saw Rye, his memory of everything he had done to disturb his tranquil home stirred. Gideon stands frozen and watches Rye limp past as he remembers looking at Pippin's silhouette. Gideon's blood began to boil, and his only thought was how he was going to damage or kill this man. Just hearing his words made Gideon's mind blood thirsty in a matter of seconds.

Rye, who is intoxicated, enters the restroom with his bodyguards, pauses to light a cigarette, and then limps over to where he rests against the wall in front of the toilet with his eyes at half-mast. As a customer exits, Rye and the bodyguards are the only people left in the restroom when Gideon enters. Gideon pulls out his folding razor and rams it between the door and the jamb, splitting it in half as the door closes. The door won't budge when a customer tries to open it to enter. He shrugs and leaves to look for another restroom. As Gideon approaches, one of the bodyguards turns, his eyes widening suddenly as he watches the shattered tip of the sword effortlessly tear through his neck and splatter Gideon with his own hot blood. Rye casts an unsure glance towards the direction of the locked door.

"Hello?"

The second guard pulls out a gun as the bodyguard falls to his knees, bleeding profusely, and as Gideon charges at him, the bodyguard manages to fire a round into Gideon's arm. Before zipping up his pants, reaching into his jacket, and fumbling for his gun, Rye tenses, eyes widening, and shrugs off. Gideon headbutts the second bodyguard, fracturing his nose, and his face instantly becomes red with blood. He then slashes the remnant of the blade wide, cutting the bodyguard's artery. His cry comes more from rage than pain.

Rye appears with a gun in hand when the door to the restroom cubicle opens. He is knocked to the ground while yelling while Gideon dislocates his shoulder, breaks his arm, and kicks him in the thigh. In order to drag him to the towel and grab him by the hair, Gideon grabs the broken arm, twists it behind his back, grabs him by the hair, brings him over to the urinal, shoves his face into the urinal, and flushes it. Before ripping him back out, he holds him there for a long time. Gideon is gasping for air and his eyes are wide; he has quickly regained sobriety.

Rye was struggling to breathe and was choking. "Stop, would you?

Gideon didn't stop and continued to beat his head against the urinal's rim, fracturing his nose in the process. He then shoved his face back into the toilet, flushing his face once more. Ten seconds later, Gideon hoists Rye back into the air.

Gideon Malcom is my name. I lost my automobile to you. trespassed on my home. You euthanized my dog. My home's assets were taken by you. Where is Herschel, anyway? Gideon holding Rye questioned, "Isn't he your boss?

Rye yelled, "Fuck you," with rage in his eyes.

Behind his back, Gideon snaps his wrist, and he flushes the urinal repeatedly while driving his face back under the water. Rye is then forced to the ground by Gideon after being pulled out of the bathroom. With all of his strength, Gideon lifted his leg and trod on his fingers, snapping each of them.

Gideon again questioned, staring at Rye who was lying on the ground.

Rye began screaming in agony and continued to do so as he spoke; he did it out of dread. Rowan! Brother of His! He is with his sibling!

And Rowan, where are you? Gideon questioned, "I thought he had passed away 20 years ago.

He walks around, going from one area to another, controlling Herschel, following Rowan wherever he goes. He is being protected because, unlike his bigger brother, he lacks any exceptional abilities. Rye cried out, "Kayla vowed to protect them! ", pleading for his life.

Twisting his other arm, Gideon snaps it with a dry SNAP. Rye cries out, but Gideon steadfastly holds his arm. What became of Rowan, then?

"Please... Rye cried in tears, "I don't know... please.

Gideon leans his head oddly down against the toilet rim. Rye begs Gideon to spare him life. A hand grabbed Gideon's shoulder and prevented him from snapping his neck. When Gideon turned around, he witnessed someone hurl him from the stall in an owl costume. Rye smacked against the bathroom wall. Rye began to express his gratitude to the person who had saved his life as he was struggling to breathe.

Kid Owl walked out of the stall and remarked to Gideon, "That's enough Mr. Gideon, you don't have to kill this man to look what you are looking for."

Gideon rose from the ground and glared angrily at Kid Owl. "I notice Microsoft dispatched another of his new pets to locate me.

I'm here to re-direct your attention to Microsoft X. You need to have your profile and brain checked. I haven't seen you in twenty years. For those like me who want to support Microsoft, you are a hero. Kid Owl, still bracing himself for whatever Gideon could do to him, pleaded with the killer to stop killing more people. "We will find this person and put them away," he said.

Kid Owl caught Gideon's attention as he was fully upright and facing him.

"Boss, this warrior is at the S-Class level. He has battled Microsoft X for more than three decades. If we don't keep our guards up, he may murder us in a matter of seconds, Savo told Nell in his head.

Nell turned to Savo and said, "Don't worry, I just hope this doesn't get problematic."

Gideon pulls out the gun he had packed and fires shots at Nell. As he raised his hands, Nell created a Tier 1 Barrier. When Kid Owl saw Gideon use all of his ammunition, he let go of the barrier and kicked an energy wave in Gideon's direction. Rolling out of the attack's path, Gideon. In order to slice Kid Owl, Gideon pulled out the machete he had in his possession and began to swing it. Each swift cut Gideon made was met with conflict from Kid Owl's Owl Claws. Kid Owl continued to be on the back foot while fending off every attack tip until his back touched the wall. Gideon seized the chance and swung his machete with increased strength ingrained in his bones. Kid Owl jumped up to the ceiling to grasp onto it after realizing this attack would be deadly and releasing the claws from his suit feet. When Gideon broke the wall through, it was possible to see people eating on the other side, and witnesses reported seeing a man with blood smears staring at them while emitting a deathly aura. The diners started to stand up and flee. Kid Owl slashed Gideon's back after dropping from the ceiling, leaving Gideon with nothing to do but stare back at Kid Owl.

"I do not comprehend. Kid Owl reflected, "He wasn't even the least bit fazed by the onslaught.

Gideon swings his leg and quickly rotates his body. Kid Owl attempted to stop the kick with his barrier after spotting it coming. Kid Owl was sent back against the wall after the barrier broke as a result of the kick's impact with it. He fell out of the bathroom on the second story after being kicked through the wall from that distance. Before leaving the restroom, Gideon approached Rye and took his wallet and phone out.

He puts his phone in one pocket and Gideon's money in the other. He activates the cold water faucet at the sink, splashes it up into his face, turns, and pauses after seeing he is covered in blood. Gideon reaches down, takes off his shirt, wipes the blood from his face, tosses the shirt aside, and then carefully buttons it back up. Rye continued to sob despite being so exhausted from the agony.

"Stop sobbing; I won't murder you. But if you mess with me once more, I'll kill you and your family, Gideon said. He then turned around, pulled out the ceramic blade that was stuck in the door frame, threw it in the trash, and left.

Gideon walks past the waitress while stopping to give her a few hundred-dollar dollars. "Please close out my tab."

"Sir, yes. And I hope you liked your stay," the waitress added, giving Gideon a small bow and turning to face him again.

"I did, mine," Gideon said when he realized that the blood from his arm wound was dripping into his shirt. Gideon is aware that in order to continue, he must recover from these three fights.

Gideon descends the stairway and moves calmly among the crowd of dancers while pandemonium breaks out above but is subdued by the loud music.

Gideon unlocks the steel door with his one healthy shoulder while moving the cold perspiration that has formed on his brow as quickly as he can. He has a sore shoulder. Blood loss is quite serious. But Gideon won't perish until he exacts his retribution. Whoever Microsoft X wishes to send can. He won't return to the location where he suffered a complete loss.
