Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 71. The Beginning of the Fight in Foreign Places bag. 5
Arkan began to doubt Kaito's status and looked at him with a suspicious look.
“You...really not a criminal, right?. You sure you're not a criminal, Kaito?"
“....” Kaito is silent
Not without reason he was silent. Kaito fell silent while muttering a lot of things.
‘Do I really look like a criminal? Could it be that it was me who had lost my human values and not Ryou? I didn't feel the slightest guilt when I tried to kill him earlier. It feels..I'm starting to understand what Ryou said earlier’
Kaito remembered Ryou's sentence he had said.
[I'm talking about how to save us from the devil in the guise of a human, remember that!! Nonsense with humanity. Since when does this weird ‘world’ have rules and laws?!]
[I want to kill a human-shaped gorilla named Justin for our safety and that annoying boy standing there!!]
“Devil under the guise of a human yes..” muttered Kaito in a soft voice while looking at Justin who was no longer moving
“You heard me not? Kaito?” Arkan tried to call Kaito
“I heard. You asked me what, Mr bartender?”
“I asked you this is really not a criminal, right?”
“I am very fragile and generous, so where is it possible that someone like this is criminal” Kaito said
“Oh...so” Arkan's short answer with a strange face that seems to say the opposite in the heart
‘You think I'll believe you!’
While keeping his gun back in the pocket of his robe, Kaito turned around and walked towards Justin back.
He grabbed his right leg and started to pull it.
“Akh!! What do you think of that?!” Arkan immediately shouted while pointing at Kaito's face
“Of course take it into the bar again to save” Kaito answered it very casually without any burden
“Crazy basics!! You don't see the blood's like a puddle, huh!. His blood stain alone can already stain your shoes! If taken to the bar, I can't imagine what the floor will look like!!”
“Indeed if dirty exposed to blood stains, the floor will turn as soft as the mattress in the inn?”
“Um...no...it will not be like that either..” Arkan began to be confused with the answer.
“Then the floor will remain hard, right? Where's problem? Just a little dirty. You can cover it by mopping it all day and cover it with a big carpet like the one inside the bar. Don't make it difficult for yourself”
It was easy for Kaito to say that. It's like Ryou's teachings have really been absorbed well by his brain.
Arkan has lost his life as a quiet and professional bartender. Even more amazing, he lost his composure and compassion because of the young man he had only met half an hour ago.
“Master bartender, I don't want to hear your chatty mouth. You help me pull this gorilla's body right now or I'll tie you to the front post of that bar. Select one”
“You dare threaten me now?” ask Arkan while pouting
“And you dare to reject me now?” Kaito also replied to her by asking her
“Ukh...”.
Points 1-0 to Kaito. Absolute victory, protest rejected.
Arkan could not resist it as it was obvious the difference in their fighting abilities was like the sky and the abyss.
With a long sigh he started walking towards Kaito and before helping him, Arkan made a slight request.
“Quite, I will help you but I will not pull his blood-filled left leg everywhere. You hold this one and I'm right!!”
“Alright” Kaito nodded his head sign he agreed
Arkan rolled up his sleeves so as not to get dirty.
Before Kaito dropped Justin's right foot, Arkan was already holding onto it. He tried his best to keep the blood around him from soiling his expensive work uniform.
Unlike Kaito who is already indifferent to any bloodstains on his clothes including on his robe, Arkan is very disgusted to see a lot of blood flowing from both arms of Justin.
Even more sadistic, he kicked the big muscular man's arm for blocking his way.
With the energy possessed, the two people pulled it slowly. Because it is done by two people so pulling Justin's body does not require much energy to get into the bar.
As long as they dragged him along, the footprints made from the blood they had stepped on formed along with the thick and long bloodstains without breaking from his already severed arm.
After getting inside the bar and bringing it into his room, Kaito simply placed it on the floor. Arkan who no longer wanted to do anything to help Kaito finally decided to get out of the room.
This is where Arkan began to take a deep breath and try to tidy up the table that fell due to avoiding shots from Justin before.
******
In this time…
After he finished lamenting his extremely unlucky fate, Arkan again asked Kaito who was walking towards the exit.
“Kaito, are you sure about your plan to sell Justin? I mean.it...”.
“I don't want to compromise, mr. bartender. My best friend and I had a fight because I was too anxious about her values and humanity. It happened because he could easily say ‘I will kill the demon disguised man’ without any burden at all”
“.....” Arkan was speechless hearing it well with a serious face
“But now I understand his feelings. Justin was not a human being but a demon. Previously me and my good friends had agreed to it”
“……”
“If I had any doubts at that time, I might have suffered serious injuries. If the hatred that suddenly enveloped me for no reason managed to control me, maybe I had already become a murderer and killed him”
“……”
Kaito turned to look at Arkan's face
Kaito's eyes began to be cynical and his aura was really not like being able to be joked around. A cold tone shot out from his mouth with a look and a cold expression without mercy.
“However, there are a few exceptions. If I manage to defeat him in the fight and let him die from blood loss, it won't look like I killed him”
- Deg
Arkan who was looking at those cold, pityless eyes suddenly felt like he had been hit by a mental attack. He became trembling and pale.
“If Justin dies in that room from blood loss, that means I will be free from the charge of murder. Wouldn't that be much more efficient?. In addition, in this foreign place the law does not apply at all” Kaito continued his words
“You...” Arkan is like seeing a more terrible figure than Justin
“It's even more profitable, if I.no, if you sell it on the black market, you'll get enough money to cover all the debt and the rest you can use for your needs. Not bad, is it? You can make money even though the way is very cruel”
“Making money in a very cruel way, you say? It's similar to the devil, Kaito”
“What's wrong with killing demons? He deserved to die. I curse it”
“What...you realize what you said from your mouth now, Kaito?”
“Taste so”
Justin deserves to die. That was the content of his cold gaze. The strange emotion was back in control.
Kaito's bright blue eyes begin to look dark again. Just like before, this was not like the usual Kaito. The one standing before Arkan right now is the one who has no real sense of humanity.
‘Is he aware of what he's talking about?! Doesn't that mean you've lost your humanity in such a sadistic way? In that case, what is the difference between this teenager in front of me and Justin? What is the difference between this teenager and Seren-sama?!” Arkan could not hide his fearful expression now
When Kaito was about to turn around and walk back, suddenly someone ran into the bar with a breath of breath. His face turned red and his tears did not stop flowing. It didn't take long for her to step in and hold onto Kaito's shoulder tightly.
“Kaito!! Kino...Kino..”.
“……”
“Kino has been kidnapped and injured!! He's in danger, Kaito!! Kino...my brother is in danger now!!!”
Highlight Kaito's eyes began to return to their normal state after hearing the shocking news. He initially looked confused by what he said a while ago.
Kaito doesn't remember it at all.
However, Ryou's face that was crying nonstop while shouting woke him up.
“What happened, Ryou?! Why are you crying like this?! What do you mean by–” Kaito became panicked and held onto Ryou's two hands
“My brother was kidnapped by the woman who came out of this bar some time ago and the children said that he was injured and will die!!!”
“What?!!” Kaito was shocked to hear it
“......!!!” Arkan was also not less shocked and pale
‘Seren-sama...really already..’ muttered Arkan in his heart.
Things were not okay for the three of them at the moment.
******
Theo and the children are still trying to run to chase after Ryou who is not even seen anymore.
“Hiks...Theo-niichan..Kino-niichan...”.
Michaela cried while holding onto Kino's knife. He joined hands with Theo who was no less panicked and still let out his tears.
“Huwa...Stelani-neechan….Fabil-niichan..
“Hiks...hopefully they are fine.
“Why can something like this happen….Huwaaaa”
The other children running behind Theo were also holding each other while continuing to cry.
Theo who looked sad and disappointed continued to say the same thing in his heart.
‘I curse him! I curse!! I wish Justin was dead!! I will never forgive him!! I curse him!’
The light from behind Theo's collar shone from the moment he ran off the road of the scene without realizing it at all. The light from her beautiful purple colored pendulum that kept shining grew brighter every time she wished and prayed in her heart while running.
Ever since hearing the stories from Michaela and the other children, only the same words of hope had been spoken both in his heart and through his mouth.
He cursed Justin and expected his death.
******
A few minutes before he was left very far away by Ryou, they were still at the scene of the crime.
Ryou who shouted Kino's name many times in a desperate tone began to be seen letting out his tears.
“Why can my brother get hurt and almost die!! Say!!!”
Ryou, who was holding Michaela's shoulder, gripped her even stronger until the boy groaned in pain.
“Sick...hiks...let me go..”.
“Jawab me now!! Why is my brother in this place and how do you know he's hurt?! Don't cry and answer me!!”
Ryou really can't control his emotions. His eyes were so horrible and there was no pity for the little girl. It's like he won't let go of the boy until he answers his question.
Theo tried to calm him down but it didn't work. Ryou did not move at all from Michaela's shoulders and Theo could only look increasingly sad whenever he realized how desperate the older brother before him was.
“Ryou..-nii” Theo looked at Ryou's crying and angry face with a very painful expression
One of the children there ventured to answer Ryou's question.
“K–We saw it ourselves..Hiks..”.
“What!!” Ryou started to look at the little boy who answered him
The child looked frightened and crying, but he dared to answer her clearly.
“We...we met with Kino-niichan when she was at the altar this morning and she invited us to eat together. We started following Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan because we initially heard them talking at home”
“You guys..meet Kino at the altar..” Ryou looks shocked.
His grip on Michaela finally slipped. He was still in shock but continued to listen to the little boy's testimony.
“They said they wanted to find Theo-nii in town. Although the two of them initially said they wanted to ask Kino-niichan for help against Justin-sama, it did not come.Hiks...”.
“It...” Theo tries to open his mouth and say something with lips that quiver in shock
“.....” Ryou is still speechless with tears that do not stop flowing and a pale face
“When Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan came out, we ran after them silently. Michaela.hiks.Michaela intends to find Kino-niichan in the city to ask for help to Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan. Therefore...therefore we follow them secretly”
The little boy who gave the caption came back crying as he wiped his tears with his own clothes.
Michaela who still did not stop crying finally wanted to continue the information from her friend to the brother in front of her.
“As we...will turn..Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan like yelling Kino-niichan name and it turns out..it turns out they met him on this street..”.
“What?!” Theo was surprised
“Kino-niichan says that she is looking for Theo-niichan. We didn't hear so much because from afar but the three of them chatted for a long time. Hiks..hiks...”.
“.....” Theo is like having a heart attack
His chest was extremely tight and his pale face grew even more ghastly with widened eyes and palms that were starting to cool.
“Kino-nii..search me...” muttered Theo from his mouth slowly.
“After chatting for some time..hiks...suddenly..there were screaming voices from Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan!!”
“……!!!”
“We were so scared so we didn't get out of that little alley. We were all hiding behind the wooden box piled up there in fear. When I tried to peek, Kino-niichan.hiks...Kino-niichan got stabbed in the stomach and shed a lot of blood!!. Huwaaaa..”.
“A….Kinos….Cinema..”
Ryou was increasingly unable to hold back his tears and called out the name of the older brother with a trembling mouth.
“They also strangled Kino-niichan's neck and kicked Stelani-neechan. Fabil-niichan was also struck by the scary man. After that..they brought big plastic..”.
“Plas..tik..” says Theo stammered.
“Stelani-neechan and Fabil-niichan put in it and..Kino-niichan..we did not really see it but...he was like being dragged by the big man....hiks.....hiks.....”
“Aaa....” while keeping his mouth shut, Ryou was already unable to say anything
“We also heard he said they would pick up another one and would sell his severed body. There is a word Justin-sama who sold us in it and.huwaaa”.
A very clear description of a group of innocent little children.
It didn't take long for Ryou to get up and run away leaving the children behind. He ran back to the bar. Of course he realizes that Kaito is not following him from behind which means he is still around the bar.
Ryou quickly ran.
Theo and the children began to wipe away their tears. They decide to return to the bar following Ryou.
From there, Theo began to look so angry.
“Justin..I curse you! I curse you!! I curse you!! I wish you were dead!! I want you dead!! I curse you!!”
Deciding to grab Michaela's hand, Theo finally ran with the others towards the bar.
Like praying, the curse sentence that sounded like a very solemn prayer continued to be chanted. Simultaneously, the light of Theo's bright purple necklace pendulum began to shine until this moment.
