Chapter 128- Plan From The Depths Of Hell
Kai looked at the handsome man with a cold gaze. Nobody could know what was going through his head at that moment. But, he didn't linger long on him as he shifted his gaze elsewhere.
"Oh, right. I forgot to introduce the others. From right to left, the rock-and-roll-looking guy is Elvi. The girl on her phone is Lola and finally, the gloomy girl is Taylor. Oh, right, the chain guy is Zero. Of course, these aren't our real names. But, you get the drill, sir."
Kai nodded his head quietly. He already knew their real names and their real identities so he didn't bother to pretend to even care about their names. He just wanted to finish this deal and finally, he could put the plan aside till the time of execution.
"I'm not here to waste time. So, let's get into business."
"Hahahahaha! Business? Do we look like entrepreneurs to you, Black Phantom?" Zero said with a loud laugh.
Walking deeper into the room, Kai stopped in front of the large, meeting desk and said.
"I will keep it simple. I want the five of you to work with me on destroying the guild."
"..."
Silence. Absolute silence that could make even the toughest of people feel awkward and suffocated took over the room. Eventually, a sound was made.
"Pffft! Hahahahahahahahaha! Wait, what?! You serious, bro?"
"Hold on, lol. Did I hear him right? Omg, that's so funny, lol." Lola said as she looked at Kai with a bored expression.
"Not cool, man. Are you wasting our time just to tell us a bad joke?" Elvi asked as he shook his head in disappointment.
"What's the meaning of this, Mister Mikayla?" Taylor pointed her gaze at Mikayla who simply remained silent and watched what Kai was about to do.
"E-Excuse me, sir. Is this some kind of fun joke? Because, if it is. I must say it's one good one." Arthur spoke.
"I'm not someone who jokes around. Especially with people that aren't irrelevant to me." Kai replied calmly.
"Oi, oi! Show us some respect, man. You were the one to call us here." Taylor said.
The situation was going in a predictable way for Kai. He already knew that they wouldn't just believe him even if he was the Black Phantom. He needed to show them proof and he knew exactly what that is.
"I have already killed 3 executioners and a direct subordinate to one of the High Officers."
"Woah!! Wait, really?!" Zero, stood up on his feet as he walked toward Kai. "You fucking serious? Now, if this isn't the biggest of big news! How come we didn't hear about this?"
"YOU Didn't hear about this. Omg, lol, it's old stuff." Lola said as she looked at Kai again, stopping her constant messaging. "So, you killed them? Lmao, I wanna post about this so bad."
"Now that's cool, man. Really cool."
"Sir! That's amazing! I'm impressed! You're truly living up to your name." Arthur's face changed into a wide smile.
"Now, If I want to. I would've gone the rough way and dealt with this matter all alone. But, since I knew Divinity would definitely want a piece of this, I decided to give them an opportunity. Now, that opportunity lies within your hands. Destroying the Guild would boost your name greatly and will open many new doors for you."
The five Archangels looked at each other before Arthur interrupted the silence.
"Killing three executioners is great, I respect that, sir. But, that doesn't mean the Guild is now weak enough for us to attack it. It's still a suicidal mission."
"I don't care about suicide!! If I can fight those Hitman Guild pussies then I'm all in!! Hahahaha!" Zero laughed.
"You won't need to do that. All you have to do is kill one or two executioners and then you can evacuate the area. The rest will take its course naturally."
"Lol, are you really the same Black Phantom? Like, omg, you sound delusional." Lola said while rolling her eyes.
Kai's aura flared suddenly as the room was submerged into a ruthless coldness that could make anyone's blood freeze. His aura focused on Lola whose calm face finally crumbled and her skin paled considerably.
"Ok, ok, geez. I'm sorry." She said in a hurry.
A few seconds later, Kai's aura vanished as if nothing happened as he spoke again.
"This is my plan…"
After that, Kai went ahead and told them the details of the plan that he wanted them to do. He didn't disclose all the plan, only the parts needed for the Archangels to do their job.
During the explanation, the five Archangels' faces changed from surprise to bewilderment and then outright shock. They couldn't believe what they heard at all. Even Mikayla, who was standing aside, could only blink a few times in confusion.
'From which hell did this brat come up with this? What kind of cunning devil is he?' He thought to himself as a chill ran down his spine.
The plan was in one simple term… Scary. And not because it's dangerous or anything of that sort. It was scary because it had a highly likely chance of working. No, it wasn't just as simple as destroying the Guild. Kai was trying to erase the Guild from existence with no chance of it ever rising again in the future.
"My god…" Arthur murmured as he felt as if his mind was hit by a train. His eyes flickered with a weird glint.
"Fucking hell, man. You're something else, I tell you." Elvi murmured as he pores holes into Kai.
"Hahahahahahaha! He wasn't shitting! What the fuck?! I never thought this day could get any better and now I'm presented with a history-changing plan! I'm 100% in!!"
"Interesting. Very interesting." Taylor murmured.
The only one that didn't really say anything was Lola who kept looking down, her face remained rather perturbed.
"Now, your decision. I will give you a minute to think." Kai said as he looked at the clock on the wall. "If you accept, raise your hand."
Then, a few seconds of silence passed before one raised their hand. It was Arthur.
"I'm in. It's an honor to be able to work with the Black Phantom. Besides, this could be training for the future if you join Divinity."
"I'm in too." Taylor lifted her hand with a gloomy expression. "I can this work."
Then, the last one who lifted their hand was Elvi.
"Cool. I'm also in."
Kai nodded his head before he finally looked at Lola who was still frozen in her place.
"I can't… I just can't…" She said.
"Your reason?"
"I just refuse. Like, it's a choice, no?"
"I presume it's because of your little brother?" Kai asked coldly which made the tension in the room rise to an imaginable degree.
'Brat…' Mikayla looked at Kai silently. He knew what Kai meant by that question.
"Bastard… Are you threatening me?" Lola asked as she clenched her phone.
"I don't threaten. I would've snapped your neck if I wanted to and yet I never did. It's ultimately your desire to protect who you care for that got you to that conclusion. But, for the sake of your family, are you going to risk it?"
Kai's tone was menacing and arrogant yet carried a weight like no other. It was as if he was passing judgment rather than a choice. He was telling her 'Are you going to risk your life fighting the Guild or risk your life fighting me?' and that wasn't an easy answer by no means.
Lola's face frowned even harder.
