Book 2: Intermission 5

Dark Web Rogue Chat Room

[E1 Update. The bounty on the Guardian known as both the Scarlet Wolf and now the Apex Predator has increased from five million credits to twenty million credits.]

[R1 Really? Maybe I should give it a go then.]

[R2 Not before me you wont. Im already heading over there now.]

[R5 Guess that leaves me out of it. Not going to travel halfway across the world just to find the target already dead.]

[R8 Didnt R4 already go after this target?]

[R9 I think so. Has anyone heard from him?]

[R10 Well, the bounty is still up, and the target is very clearly still participating in the tournament. So Im willing to wager that he decided against doing the job.]

[R11 What happened to all that bravado of his, talking about how the target was only a teenage girl? Its rather sickening.]

[R12 No. What was sickening was his magic.]

[R2 Regardless of R4s actions, it doesnt matter. I should have the job done soon.]

[R1 Damnit, youre too fast.]

[R8 Guess that means no job for us then.]

[R9 Yeah]

[E1 Update. Should the Scarlet Wolf be exterminated before the Class I Primaries commence, the bounty will be doubled.]

[R2 Fuck yeah!]

[R1 Seriously? Now thats just rubbing salt in the wound]

[R8 Damn it, Im out. Im not gonna deal with this shit until theres another bounty that I can go for.]

[R8 has left the chat.]

[R9 Yeah, me too.]

[R9 has left the chat.]

White?! What the fuck is she doing here!?! She was supposed to be off in Uras to deal with the swarm of Class IV harpies that flew around the frontline to attack!! So why the fucking hell is this bitch here?!

White just stares at him before raising her hand and gesturing towards herself, making the white energy covering The Ripper flash slightly as it forces him to stand up straight and face her. She then steps forward, her eyes flaring white in the process, making several orbs of white appear around his body, erasing the devices on him from existence including the one that was recording his mission for the sake of the bounty.

The Ripper tries to speak, but he still cant move his body in the slightest. So the silence between the two stretches for a few seconds before White glances at the Pod Dock Hall and then back at him. She then reaches out with her finger and touches his forehead, making his eyes widen in fright as he understands exactly what she is doing.

Pain immediately flares throughout his body.

No, get out of my fucking head! No!! Get. Out!!!

White light begins to shine from The Rippers eyes, making the pain throughout his body grow even worse before it all vanishes in an instant, giving him relief. But that relief doesnt last long as when he regains his sight, he finds White who everyone knows to always remain calm and neutral, never growing angry, never losing her cool scowling at him. A look filled with absolute hatred.

Jack cant help but feel fear at that look

What what did I do to deserve a look like that?

You planned on murdering my daughter, she says, answering his thoughts with a voice sharp enough that it could cut straight through ice. Cold enough that it could freeze him alive.

Jack the Rippers eyes widen in shock as he realizes just who the Scarlet Wolf is. Which only solidifies as he compares the image he has of her in his head with the woman in front of him.

If I get out of this alive, Im going to fucking skin that client alive and drain their blood-

Before Jack can even finish that thought, he sees Whites eyes flare once more, and then a wave of white light envelops him.

Amelia coldly stares at the empty space in front of her that used to be where the Class IV Rogue was standing. And all she can feel as she does so is hatred towards the man. Hatred that quickly dies down as she turns to look at the building where her daughter currently resides.

Theres less than half a year before the time slated by the witches arrives. Before her guided training begins.

Amelia cant help but feel a pit form in her chest as she thinks of who her daughter will end up with.

Will she be taken to Tartarus and guided by him? Or will she remain here on Earth, trained by my hands?

She stares at the building for a few seconds before a thought comes to mind. One she doesnt want to even consider.

Will she even want to be helped by parents who abandoned her?

Amelia stares at the building for nearly two entire minutes before shaking her head.

Now is not the time to worry about that. Now is the time to clean up a certain bunch of rogues and an organization that doesnt know its place.

A flash of white light shines from around her body, following which the woman vanishes.
