Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil
Chapter 339 339: Youth

Pablo was ready to make the situation wholesome but without the 'w'.

He held Kony by his hairs and with the tip of his knife pointed at the soldier, Pablo began his work.

His work being…

PUCK!

Stabbing.

He stabbed in the middle of Kony's chest and then he constantly stabbed at the various body parts of Kony.

The soldier couldn't see, hear or even scream.

He just felt the pain of stabbing.

Draxus was still invisible and he was standing beside Kony.

He watched Pablo stabbing the soldier and he noticed that Pablo was missing the vital points of Kony.

And the stabs he was making were not very deep as well.

He wanted to ask the reason for that but he kind of knew why Pablo was doing that. His czar didn't want to kill Kony right away.

"I will make sure you keep bleeding and can't leave this hut. You will die here in pain thinking over your choice of raping that girl."

Pablo stabbed some more.

After thirty minutes of continuous stabbing, Pablo finally stopped.

And just like Pablo had said, he really made Kony holesome.

His body was now riddled with holes as sharp knife wounds punctured his entire body.

Pablo then outstretched his palm but not towards Kony, but towards the empty space beside Kony.

"Ropes." He said.

Draxus listened and took out a thick rope from his bracelet.

He placed it on Pablo's palm.

"Let's tie his hands and legs. He has no strength left to break free from the ropes."

Pablo got ready with the ropes and Draxus held both hands of Kony.

"Make sure the blood doesn't touch your uniform." Pablo said.

Draxus didn't reply anything but Pablo was sure his right hand man heard him.

With Draxus holding Kony's hands, Pablo tied the rope around them.

He tied a handcuff style knot on Kony's hands and it was tight enough to not get loose.

After that, Pablo did the same thing with Kony's legs.

The man was still naked and now he was at death's door.

He couldn't move, he couldn't see, he couldn't hear. He was as good as dead.

"Now what to do about this crime scene? I am sure I will get to investigate it tomorrow. Let's see…"

Pablo raced his mind to form a safe and effective solution.

He had one more rapist to kill so he can't be lenient yet.

He looked around the room.

The naked woman was lying dead near the bed.

The other soldier named Boris laid near the door of the hut.

And finally, Kony, he was at the corner of the hut.

"Alright. I got it."

Pablo figured something out and began to do it right away.

First, he held the knife and went near the woman.

The knife was covered with blood and Pablo sat on the floor.

Then on the spot where the Woman's right hand was, he began writing something on the floor.

Draxus also saw it and nodded.

Pablo could still see him but he was too busy doing his work to pay attention to Draxus.

"This will be fine."

Pablo finished writing and after that, he carried further with his plan.

After fifteen minutes, he finally finished with his preparations.

"Let's go." He said.

Draxus came beside Pablo and sucked him inside his shadow.

"Where to, czar?" Draxus asked.

"First, let's undo your invisibility. Otherwise I will forget to do it."

"Sure."

Pablo wished for Draxus' invisibility to get over and the next second, Draxus was visible again.

Pablo could see him even before though but it's better to be safe.

"Now tell me the destination." Draxus asked.

Pablo replied, "Inside Sera's room. I will stay the night there."

"Oh?" Draxus raised his brows, smiling.

"Not for that. If I stayed where the Abyssal Butchers live, then it would pose problems if someone saw it. So that's why I'll stay with Sera."

"Sure thing."

Draxus didn't argue and finally, they left the hut.

The two dead bodies and one soon to be dead body remained behind them and they would only be discovered tomorrow.

"What about your uniform, czar? You have blood all over it."

"I have some spares. I will burn it and change it to a new one."

"If you say so."

Draxus moved his shadow faster than ever as at night, there were shadows all around for him to travel at a fast speed.

In a few minutes, he reached just in front of Sera's door.

"Slide your shadow inside, throw me out and then you go back to your room. If someone asks about me, tell them I am here."

Pablo instructed and Draxus followed them.

He slid his shadow inside Sera's room and before Andrezj could kill the intruder, he saw Cupid.

He stopped his attack and Pablo came out of the shadow.

"She is sleeping. Don't wake her up." Andrezj said.

"It's good that she is sleeping. Otherwise, she would be all over me now."

"Why are you here?" Andrezj asked.

"I am here to sleep. I will sleep on the floor, don't worry."

"My dearest will scold me if I let you sleep on the floor. And she will kill me knowing I didn't wake her up when you came to this room."

"Well, that's not my problem. I just want to sleep."

Pablo lied on the floor and closed his eyes.

"How can you sleep on a cold hard floor so easily? Even Flashy uses a mattress on the floor before lying down." Cupid said.

"This floor is much more comfortable than the floors I used to sleep on. Now stop talking. Tomorrow is a busy day."

Cupid said nothing and Pablo finally slept.

Draxus also went back to his room and slept as well.

Like that, the next day arrived.

TUNG!

TUNG!

TUNG!

And Pablo woke up to the same sound as yesterday.

The Gong rang again.

Along with Pablo, Sera also got up.

She was under the blanket and the sound made her scowl.

"What is it this time? I hate this sound."

She retorted and walked out of the bed.

"Good morning." Pablo said.

"Good morning." Sera replied with a yawn but when she registered the surroundings, her mouth remained open.

"Dear?!"

She covered her face.

And that was weird according to Pablo.

Because she was in her undergarments.

Just two pieces of cloth and yet she decided to cover her face.

"You are fine with just your face covered?" Pablo asked.

"Well, yes. I haven't done any makeup. There must be drool on my face too. I can't show you that."

"What about revealing your body?"

"Oh. It's you so I don't mind. And it's just flesh. I am sure you won't be enticed by such things."

'She has gotten smart. I am surprised.'

"Though, if I do this…"

Sera dropped one strip of her bra from her shoulder.

Pablo almost saw the ripe youthfulness of Sera but he turned his gaze to the side.

"Don't do it, Sera. Even if I lose control and have my way with you, it won't be the love that you want. It'll only be lust."

"This is why I love you so much."

Sera lunged forward with her arms spread.

Pablo moved to the side and Sera went past him.

"I knew you would do that."

She laughed it off.

"But why were you sleeping on the floor? And why didn't you wake me up, Andre? I should have slept on the floor instead of him. I will deal with you later."

"It's fine. I didn't want to wake you up. And I will go to the bathroom first. You wait here. It's already late since the gong has rung. People must be looking for me."

Pablo stood up and without waiting for Sera's reply, went inside the bathroom.

He cleaned himself, removed all the blood marks that he had from the night before.

After five minutes, he came out.

"Eieee!" Sera shrieked. She closed her eyes as soon as she saw Pablo.

He was just wearing a towel. He was half naked.

"Are you seriously doing that?" Pablo sighed. "You are half naked yourself. Blush for that, not for me."

"It's just, you can control yourself after seeing me like this.. But.."

Sera opened her eyes, peeking at Pablo's abs.

"I can't control myself. Wear something before I let my intrusive thoughts win and snatch that towel."

'She is nuts.'

Pablo shook his head and took out a new Marshal uniform from his bracelet. The King had given him five of them in total.

He wore one of them and now he looked like a newly joined Marshal.

"Open your eyes now." Pablo said.

Sera did it.

"Oh. You are really wearing clothes now." She seemed sad.

Nevertheless, Pablo didn't indulge in her further and gave her his old bloodied Marshal uniform which he was wearing while killing Kony.

"Ask Andre to burn this from existence. No trace of it should be left. Do it for me."

"Okay."

Sera agreed and showed the uniform to Andrezj.

"Do it, Andre." She said.

Andrezj would never refuse Sera's wish so he just snapped his fingers.

Pablo's uniform disappeared.

"No burning?" Pablo asked.

"It's gone out of existence. Don't worry. It went to nothingness." Andrezj replied.

Pablo nodded.

"Alright. I am leaving then. Take care. And you are not allowed to come with me. Stay in this room."

"Okay."

Pablo knew Sera would ask to come with him so he already refused her.

After that, Pablo waited for nothing and left Sera's room.

———

Back in Ground 0.

Each and every soldier was gathered again and they were looking at the stage.

And on the stage, it was not the First Marshal this time.

Instead, it was Ted and while Pablo was in Sera's room, Ted had given a speech and to end it, he said words like :

"Therefore, I conclude that the killer is none other than Pablo Castillo."
