A Round Of Shots

 Marco's eyes twitched uncontrollably when he read the contract. Diya, Ema, and Aphrodite looked at the contract with their eyes wide open. No one in the room believed any sane person would agree to this extremely 'fair' contract. 

 While Marco was growing irritated from the contents of the contract the rest were simply too stunned to see Marco's growing irritation. 

 With a turn of his heel, Marco walked towards the demon that dropped the contract. With a stone-like face his footsteps sang a eerie tune to the awake demons as glared at the demon like it owes him money. 

 He stopped waling when the demon was within arm's reach then a booming slap was heard when Marco sees its sorry look.

 The sound of a demon screaming in pain woke up the girls, and when they turned their heads, they saw something amazing. The demon was in a sorry state as its mouth was dripping with blood, not caring about the demon's suffering Marco delivered another devastating slap. 

 This time teeth and blood shot out if the poor demon splattering its comrades. Grabbing the demon's head and staring him dead in the eyes, a macabre voice seemingly from the depths of hell resounded. This action sent chills down the demons observing him.

 "Well, I'm disappointed." They didn't know why but they felt extreme danger observing how Marco was treating their leader. 

 "So, who sent you? I'm going to give you a chance to reveal your master less we start really having fun." Marco's lifeless eyes frightened the demons that saw them, the leader immediately tried to speak but a magic circle flashed, sealing its mouth.

 "Oh, so that's how it is." Marco's words scared the demon senseless, all he knew was that although he was suffering in hell, he was given a mission. He came to Florence intending to enjoy himself a little. 

 He was planning to play a little after his task but a few minutes after arriving he was knocked unconscious and now is chained in a dungeon. He wanted to save his team as they were all unwilling pawns of Seth but curses placed on him activated when he tried to speak. 

 This curse completely prevented him from speaking. Seeing the magic circle Marco raised an eyebrow. "Girls, have you seen this type of technique?" Marco turned around showing the bleeding and crying demon to them. 

 The three of them saw this and walked closer to the demon, Diya bent down a little to get a closer look while a look of realisation flashed on Ema and Aphrodite's faces. "Oh, it looks like you two know what this is, care to fill us in?"

 Ema and Aphrodite stared at each other for a few seconds then both nodded, as if they both came to a realisation. Aphrodite started to explain, "We have a clue as to what was done to this demon, but we only know a few effects of this type of curse." 

 Marco was shocked when he heard that this demon was under a curse. A sudden thought ran through his head then he looked at all the captured demons. 

 Seeing Marco's reaction Ema nodded, "Darling what you are thinking might be a possibility. There is a high chance that all these demons are under a similar curse."

 "When someone doesn't want to let any information slip, they tend to implement techniques, curses or countermeasures to their subordinates, this is especially the case in the supernatural power struggle." 

 Diya continued after processing the information given by Aphrodite and Ema. To her it made sense, as a general she knew that information was vital, a possible leak could spell doom for anyone.

 As a full believer of "A war can be immediately won with information" Diya immediately understood the actions of the bastard that sent these lowlifes after her darling was taken. 

 The prime example of this person's cautiousness was the contract itself. The owner of the contract will only be revealed to the contractee after agreeing to essentially sign their soul away.
