Chapter 137: A Job

Alex furrowed his eyebrows, He was on the fence on what to do. He knew that these people were shady but He also wanted to know what was going on. 'Go for it, I don't think you will find anyone stronger than you here… At least It seems very unlikely.' Alex heard Hades' voice and nodded. 

The woman saw Alex nod and pointed into the door, "Then follow us, No more killing. I'd advise against doing anything that would make the boss even angrier… You've taken down only the powerless guards here but I assure you that there are more powerful people here than you'd expect." She smiled as she casually threatened Alex.

'Heh, I sense one powerful person, around as equal to you in terms of strength but nothing else… I wish I was in my peak, I could have detected everything in this measly world but now, I've had problems looking through this small underground base.' Hades sighed. 

Alex rolled his eyes as he followed behind the two awakened. They seemed to be wary about Alex and watched his every move. As they walked down the long cold hallway, Alex noticed many cages along the way. They seemed to be empty now but looked like there were people caged up before… "It's like a prison here," Alex mumbled. 

"You do not need to concern yourself with this place for now.I don't know what the boss wants from you but I warn you once again, NO FALSE MOVES… Us two are more than enough to destroy you."  The short man spoke for the first time. His voice sounded exactly like how one would expect it to sound, nasally and high pitched.

Alex rolled his eyes and continued to observe his surroundings as he followed the two. 'I think they've been taking in prisoners or people to experiment on… Whatever it is, It doesn't look good. Hades, you said that there was only one guy who was as powerful as me right?' Alex squinted his eyes.

After some time, a huge hearty laugh echoed in Alex's mind, "That's what I like to hear Kid! I knew you would want to save innocents… Well, I've looked into it and It seems like there really is only one guy as powerful as you… Well, a little bit less powerful than your base powers but I wouldn't underestimate him… I've looked into these two and there seems to be an enhancement serum on their body. The God's Blood That you talked about with that Old Fire guy some time ago… So I wouldn't be surprised that their boss or whoever that is as strong as you also have it… Well, It just means a more worthwhile battle for us… So, why not? With me here, It'll be difficult for you to lose in these circumstances!" He sounded really excited.

Hearing Hades' support, Alex smiled. He continued on observing as they went down the base. After some time, They arrive in front of a large doorway. The two pointed into the door and said, "Go in, Once again, No funny business." 

Alex nodded and walked into the room. On his way down, Alex had confirmed that this place was holding prisoners against their will. 'Just the soft whimpers of people going around the place as I walked was enough proof to say that This place has been doing very shady stuff… I'd say I can use my authority and powers of an awakened to stop these guys and provide justice!' Alex was serious.

However, His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the soft laughs of Hades in the corner of his mind, "Kid, I don't care how serious you were when thinking of that but you need to chill… All that sounded extremely cliche, Just beat up those bad guys and if they try to kill you, kill them first… It's that simple. I do recommend saving their boss however, Could be crucial in the future." He explained slowly. 

Alex sighed and walked towards the chair in the middle of the room. He looked around to see the room was very darkly lit and the only lights came from the flurry of the screen in front of him. 

"So… Our guest has arrived. I hope Pain and Pleasure didn't threaten you too much. It's their job to try and scare others so they can't help it. Hehehe" A grainy voice came from behind the seat.

Alex looked at the source to see a tall bearded man sitting on the chair. He seemed to be looking at Alex with very keen eyes as he spoke. Alex stood quiet as he observed the man, 'Is he the strong one?' Alex was more focused on who he will be fighting instead of Man's words.

"Ah, It seems like you are the quiet type… Well, That's good as well. I needed someone who was strong and quiet. Someone who could take orders and finish it quickly and precisely. I saw you take down those guards earlier, quite a good fighter. Exactly what I needed." The man stood up and walked towards Alex.

'He is your Guy' Alex nodded when he heard Hades' answer.

The man saw Alex nod and smile,  "I'll make it simple and sweet, I need someone to take down a few people who have been getting in the way of things… A few awakened from the bureau who have been messing up a few things of mine. There seems to be no background on you and looking at your skills, I'd say you're the perfect person for the job. Take people down for me, I'll give you everything you desire… And also, don't worry, The ones you have to kill are around the A rank in terms of ability… Here are a few of them." HE said while pressing a button on the keyboard to reveal a bunch of images.

Alex nodded and looked towards the screen. Not even a second passed before Alex's eyes began to glow red and his mind was filled with rage. 

On the screen were images of people he knew, 'Midnight, Sir Fire, OJ, Buster and even more of the awakened in the bureau…'
