Chapter 64: Chapter 63: Laughter Before the Slaughter

The air blew past her, lifting her hair upwards to reveal more of her beautiful face. Her crimson eyes, full of a fierce determination, her short crimson hair blew in the air majestically, the sword and shield in her hands, added with her defiant, powerful stance that exerted dominance, felt like a huge wave of emotions crashing into the mafia boss as he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

She was extremely pretty, even with the small blood stains that covered her face, one couldn’t deny how exceptionally beautiful she was, her body and everything else about her was all top-tier, like a model straight from a magazine.

’She....really is beautiful...’ The mafia boss thought, his eyes wide as he stared at her with a lost expression, as if his world had been filled with a new light he hadn’t seen before, his mind clouded in darkness as he wanted her.

Not just as a valuable asset, no, as his, his very own personal toy. Even if she was a superhuman, he would do everything in his power to make such a beauty submit to him, in ways that bordered on insanity.

"You...." Zoey’s voice sounded, sounding like a storm that was raging with unbelievable power as the air immediately became charged with tension, her crimson eyes shining as she stared Liam dead in the eyes, watching as he immediately became intimidated, like a huge wave of fear striking his body and causing him to tremble.

"B..boss...." Liam whispered to the mafia boss, snapping him out of his dark, perverted thoughts as he looked at Zoey who stood there, the very aura surrounding her leaking immense bloodlust and virulent rage.

"A-ah! Right!" The Mafia boss said as he stepped out of the jeep, taking the shotgun off his shoulder as he stood by the jeep, eyeing Zoey with interested eyes as his men also hopped off the jeep and stood beside him, guns in hand, ready to attack in case anything went wrong.

"Woman!....or Whatever you are.." The Mafia boss started, his voice loud and firm as he spoke, "I have heard news from my man here, Liam, that you have stolen our precious supplies of food and resources!"

Zoey’s eyes widened for a brief moment, raising an eyebrow in confusion upon hearing the words of the man infront of her. Steal their food and resources? What are they talking about? She didn’t do that.

"What are you talking about, I took no supplies or resources from anyone." Zoey said, her voice a fierce cold that could freeze many in their wake as she glared at Liam, raising her sword at him as she pointed the tip at him.

"Wasn’t it you and Frank that have entered my building to escape the hordes of zombies you two idiots have managed to attract? And wasn’t I the one who not only saved you, but allowed you to leave with your lives intact, even though you have brought danger right to me." She stated, shocking everyone present.

"What?" The mafia boss was suprised upon hearing this, his eyes full of rage as he looked at Liam like a beast from hell, ready to kill somebody this instant.

"Boss! This bitch is lying! She’s the one who stole the supplies, she must’ve hidden it somewhere! I’m sure of it!" Liam lied, shouting at Zoey as he pointed his Ak-47 at her.

"Don’t.Try. It." Zoey stated the words slowly, her tone a harsh warning, as she wouldn’t hold back if Liam dared to fire his gun at her, as she was determined to break every bone in his body if that’s what he wanted.

"Wait! Stop it you two! This isn’t what we came for!" The mafia boss shouted, trying to stop the tension of bloodlust coming from both parties, especially Zoey, as her tone in which she said those three words were no joke, and she was definetly ready to beat them to mince meat.

’.....’ Zoey kept her guard up, her grip tightening on the [Stone Carved Shield] and [Knight’s Oath] Sword she held, instinctively preparing herself at all times, her instincts raised.

"Sorry for the rude introduction, I didn’t want us to meet like this." The mafia boss said as he sighed with a bit of grief in his voice, his eyes apologetic, but had a mysterious glint in them, something that Zoey easily managed to pick up.

"My name is Marlius, I’m the leader of the Serpent Mafia Gang." Marlius introduced himself, "I’ve heard word from my two boys, Liam and Frank, about a superhuman that could easily face the monsters of the apocalypse and tear them to shreds."

’It won’t always be this way...’ Zoey thought as she glanced at the time remaining before the apocalypse is over.

[Time Remaining: 14 Hours, 03 Minutes, 01 Seconds]

’The monsters are going to grow more powerful again.’ Zoey thought, briefly bringing her focus back to Marlius.

"I wanted to come to you to extend an offer, instead of killing you for taking our supplies, I want to offer you to join our Gang." Marlius said, his eyes darkening.

"I didn’t take your damn supplies....." Zoey grew irritated at the lies told by that bastard Liam, "And no, I refuse, not after your friend there has tried to bring you all to kill me, even after the warning I gave him last time."

Zoey said as she turned around to leave, but a gunshot echoed behind her as a bullet landed beside her foot, just barely missing her.

"..." Zoey slowly turned around, her expression the same, but her eyes glowing with extreme fury and uncontrollable bloodlust that forced the Mana in her body to unknowingly radiate from her, her anger reaching it’s boiling point.

"Look here darling, you’re not leaving here without joining my gang." Marlius said with a confident grin, reloading the shotgun in his hand, the other men behind him reloading as well, as an attempt to intimidate her.

"I’m not letting such a beauty like you leave from my sight, even if you are a superhuman, there’s no way you can take on all of us."

Zoey stood there for a moment, her eyes showing suprise at the words of Marlius. This confidence, where were they getting it from?

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Zoey’s laugh echoed through the air as she found their attempt to appear intimidating utterly adorable, they looked like a group of bunnies going off against a chimera.

The men exchanged glances, some had worried looks on their faces while others had confusion written all over. Was this woman insane? What was so funny?

"What’s so funny? Do you think we’re joking." Marlius asked, his voice full of irritation as his hungry eyes gazed all over her body, darkening. But Zoey continued to laugh, tears of amusement prickling against the edges of her eyes as she clutched her stomach with one hand, leaning on [Knight’s Oath] for support.

"Ha...hahahaha..that’s so funny." Zoey said as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, letting out a breath as she stood tall once again, a confident grin on her face as she grabbed her sword.

"Do you really believe that you’ll even be capable of scratching me, you should’ve brought more men. But even then, you wouldn’t have stood a chance, as you all have no chance of going up against me, no matter how many of you there are."

Zoey’s words hung in the air as a physcopathic grin formed on her lips, her crimson eyes flashing as they glowed in a very intimidating manner.

Chills crept into the eyes of the men as they looked into their eyes, a huge invisible weight pressing onto their bodies as they started to sweat uncontrollably, the weapons in their hands growing more heavy as they were very intimidated by her pressence.

"Men! Go and capture her! Don’t hurt her too much, she’s still very beautiful, so she’ll be worth alot if we decide on trading her away for more supplies."

The men at the front stepped forward, their movements hesitant as they gripped their machetes and other sharp weapons in their trembling hands.

But before they could take another step forward, Zoey’s figure vanished from her position, a sweet, but also terrifying chuckle sounded in the air.

"W-where did she-"

Bam!!

The henchmen that was about to ask the question was sent flying as his body crashed into a wall with a hard choke of blood leaving his mouth, his body slumping down the wall as he immediately became unconscious.

"Looks like you guys aren’t taking me seriously, despite me being a ’superhuman’," Zoey’s voice echoed behind them all as she sat up on the jeep, her legs crossed as she twirled the blade in her hand with ease, the bodies of the men freezing as they couldn’t believe how fast she was.

"Quick! Shoot her!" Marlius commanded as she grabbed his shotgun and turned around, the rest of his men doing the same as they let hell loose. The sounds of bullets filled the air as they fired rapidly at Zoey who was on their jeep, her devilish grin flashing as she vanished once more.

"And you, didn’t I tell you not to come back here." She asked as she appeared behind Liam, her voice spread immense fear through him as his body jolted.

But before he could fully spin around, he was met with the rough surface of the [Stone Carved Shield], a powerful shield bash done to his face as he was sent flying far away, before falling to the ground in a horrible position.

"I gave you a chance, and yet you didn’t listen to me, now I’ll show you what it feels like to be killed by a Hunter." Zoey’s voice dropped as a threatening chill filled her usual calm and controlled, melodic voice, sending deep chills through Liam.

"You tried to kill me, even after I spared you, I won’t forgive you twice."
