Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 239: Bones

Jamal snapped his fingers.

···

THUD!

"Commanderrrr!!"

The Vampire soldiers yelled to their utmost limits.

The other high dukes also saw the scene and then they carried on killing the soldiers.

"You guys handle the rest." Jamal wiped his sword and placed it on the scabbard on his back.

He then stood with his hands behind his back. Carefree.

In front of him were the vampire soldiers and they were dying by the hands of the high dukes.

But more than that, there were five dead bodies lying at Jamal’s feet.

And they were obviously the five Vampire Commanders.

Jamal killed them before they could even fight back. The Vampire army lost before they even fought.

"Hmm. They will handle them. Let’s see how that bastard is doing."

Jamal decided to turn around.

The high dukes were doing their work well and only the Cannibals army was left now.

Jamal fully turned around, showing his back to the Vampire soldiers. He would watch how Pablo was dealing with a large number of people.

And it turned out, he wasn’t dealing with them at all.

Pablo was in the same place as before. He didn’t even move.

Only the soldiers and Socrates were fighting the Cannibals.

Pablo was standing at the back with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

"So he won’t move unless he is forced to. Is that right?" Jamal guessed.

Pablo should be fighting as well. A Commander should fight alongside his soldiers.

"He is taking it easy it seems." Boulder arrived beside Jamal.

And not only Boulder, Rower and Xavier were also there.

Jamal turned around and saw no heat signs.

"Everyone is dead?"

"Yes. It’s done." Boulder replied.

"The death of the Commanders disturbed them. And they were weak as well." Rower said.

"Yes. It’s very likely that this was not the strongest army. They were just tests for us. A hindrance perhaps." Jamal shared his views.

"That’s what the detective said as well. He is a smart one. I’ll give him that." Xavier praised Pablo.

"Heh." Jamal scoffed. "Often smart people become oversmart. He isn’t even fighting the Cannibals."

"Maybe he is scared?" Rower guessed.

"Nah. People like him aren’t afraid. There must be a reason he is not doing anything." Boulder sided with Pablo.

"Well, let’s ask him directly then." Jamal started walking.

The other high dukes followed.

They all were going towards Pablo.

His back was in front of them.

’They killed that army rather fast. And Jamal used his Ego to kill the five Commanders. If I copied both Jamal’s and Xavier’s Ego, I’ll finish this single handedly.’

Pablo knew everything that was going on.

Cupid kept telling him about the High Dukes and he was also able to hear what they were talking about behind his back.

’Why are you just standing here? Don’t you want to kill? And the Cannibals fight like you. Dirty. You should be there.’ Cupid said.

’You want me to kill people? I thought you were against that.’ Pablo replied.

’Wait. You are telling me you are waiting here because I don’t want you to kill people? You are doing this for me?’ Cupid couldn’t believe it. Her face showed her surprise clearly.

’You wish. I was messing around.’ Pablo burst her bubble.

’Of course. I am an idiot. So if not for me then why are you not fighting?’ She asked again.

’I will give the answer to the high dukes. They want to ask the same thing.’

"What is it, Commander? Not in the mood to fight?" Jamal asked.

All four high Dukes arrived beside Pablo.

"Even the blind man is fighting. Why are you standing here?" Boulder asked as well.

"A Commander only fights the main battles. There is no reason for me to indulge with a small troop. The real army is inside the village." Pablo shared his reason for not joining the fight.

"You are just full of Ego. A Commander fights with his soldiers. You are just scared of getting hurt." Jamal gave his own reason for Pablo not joining the fight.

Pablo gave a side eye to Jamal. The high duke was standing just beside him.

"I am not scared of getting hurt. I am just scared that if these Cannibals flipped my switch then I might show you all something worse than Cannibals."

Pablo made himself clear and Jamal just sighed.

"You are really so full of yourself. All these dialogues about I will do this, I will do that, I am the worst, I am the best. It’s just talk.

The only thing you have done till now is just using your brain, capturing that Vampire Woman and making her spill the information. And that too, you only captured her because you took her off guard.

You would have died long ago if not for me. Keep your feet on the ground, detective. Don’t try to fly. There are hungry Eagles in the sky eager to devour chickens. Chickens like you."

Jamal was now just in the face of Pablo.

Pablo couldn’t see anything in front of him other than Jamal’s heat signature.

And it appeared that Jamal won’t move without hearing an answer. So Pablo gave him one.

"I am not even the slightest bit interested in talking to you but since you are sticking this close to me like a leach, I will tell you my deal."

Pablo took one step forward.

Now he and Jamal were face to face.

Only a grain of wheat could pass between them. Only that much space was there.

Pablo was not that short anymore so he was nearly at the same level as Jamal.

"Chickens are small, they are weak, they are eaten by everyone. But they have one part that everyone avoids. They shudder at the mere thought of it. Do you know what that is?"

Jamal couldn’t speak as Pablo answered it himself.

"Bones."

Pablo came closer to Jamal.

"When a bone gets stuck in the throat, everyone will choke to death. They will regret why they ate it in the first place. They should have checked before eating. They should have checked if the chicken was dangerous or not. And if they don’t get help in time, they will die. So what I am saying is…"

Pablo moved his hand and with no fear, placed his index finger on Jamal’s throat.

"I am that Bone."
