Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 197: Still In The Game

The soldiers had heard Pablo clearly.

He told them to attack and when they were attacking, Pablo was saying keep attacking.

And Jamal was standing with the soldiers.

Pablo and the woman were in front of them. Jamal was nowhere near those two.

So how come, when the soldiers moved forward and attacked the Woman and Pablo, they were attacking Jamal in reality? What happened? What did the Woman do?

And the soldiers couldn’t see who was behind the suit but they were sure it was Jamal because Jamal was nowhere to be seen.

"Sir Jamal! Wake up!" One soldier yelled.

He held Jamal in his arms.

Jamal’s suit was burning and the man was heavy with the suit on. But the soldier was worried so he was able to pick up the man. Adrenaline played a role in that.

All the soldiers shouted for Jamal to wake up.

They couldn’t even remove his suit. He would die by the mist if they did that.

"We were all above him. He must have suffocated. Heck he could be dead. We will all be executed for killing a High Duke. Do something. Make him alive. Shake him." The soldier cried.

All five thousand of them shouted for Jamal, they shook him hard. They landed hits on his chest. They did everything to wake him up.

But Jamal showed no response. Nothing at all.

The soldier holding Jamal in his arms jerked his head at the only option they had right now.

"Commander Pablo!" He shouted. Only Pablo could do something now. For the soldiers, Pablo was the smartest detective.

Someone who was able to create something to stop the mist could do anything. Pablo was their only choice.

But from there as well, the soldiers received no answers.

"Commander Pablo!" They all shouted again.

Pablo was still holding the Woman in a tight grip but the soldiers received no reply from him.

Though, they did receive a reply from someone else..

"He won’t wake up, idiots. He is mine now. His blood is delicious and I have decided to make him mine forever."

It was the woman. She replied on the behalf of Pablo.

"As if we will believe that. You are lying." The soldier replied.

"See for yourself." The woman raised her both hands in the air.

"I am doing nothing and yet he isn’t letting me go. He got his arms wrapped around me." She added.

The soldiers saw the scene and they hated to admit it but the Woman was right.

Pablo was still.

"Is he unconscious?" A soldier asked.

"Righto."

"You bitch. Why are you doing this? Who are you? And what did you do to all of us?" The soldier barked.

"All of you walked into a trap. And when you all ran to attack me, I played with your mind and you thought I was there but in reality you harmed one of your own. You probably killed him. And your Commander is unconscious because of me. I drank his blood and did one of my tricks." The Woman answered some of the questions.

The soldier bit his lip. All of them were trapped.

They followed Pablo’s order and they were confident in him. And now, Pablo was unconscious and Jamal was probably dead.

The Woman played with their mind even when there were two thousand soldiers with a mind Ego. She overpowered every one of them.

And in the hearts of all the five thousand soldiers, a realization began to take place.

A realization of a mistake. And that mistake being…

Trusting Pablo Castillo.

"Is this your man, Angel? Is this it? We also thought the soldiers were attacking the Woman. She even fooled us Angels. And Pablo, he is just a Human. He lost! He fucking lost! My dearest will die! Or worse, she is already dead!" Andrezj cried for the same matter. He demanded answers from Cupid. She was confident in Pablo and yet, nothing came out of it.

Cupid didn’t reply to anything. She had no answers. Just like the soldiers’ hearts, the same realization would take place inside her heart as well if Pablo did nothing.

"What will you do now?" The soldier asked the Woman.

"Now you all will die."

"And what will you do to him?"

"Him? Oh you mean this boy. Haha. He will stay with me. Forever. He will stay with…"

The Woman placed her hand on Pablo’s head, she stripped the entire head area of the Demonite and Kevlar suit.

She ran her fingers in his hair and uttered some powerful words.

"His Mommy."

And again, out of all the words she could say, she chose the worst ones and in front of the worst person.

"Don’t look away now, Andre. You will see what I was talking about." Cupid finally replied Andrezj.

Andrezj didn’t understand but he listened to Cupid.

The Woman kept her hand on Pablo’s head and she held his hairs.

"Let me see your face." She said and pulled Pablo’s hairs.

As a result, Pablo’s face was lifted and the woman saw his face.

And when she saw Pablo, the smirk she had, vanished instantly.

"You.. you.." She stuttered.

"You chose the wrong son."

The woman received a reply and when everyone heard that voice, all of their eyes lit up.

The soldiers were filled with hope again.

"You are fine, Commander!" The soldier screamed.

The Woman wasn’t smiling anymore but she wasn’t scared as well.

"You are not unconscious?" She asked.

And the woman received a reply again.

"You are going to die."

The manner of speech was cold. The voice wasn’t filled with any fear. And these things could only belong to one person.

Pablo Castillo.

The man was still in the game.

"How did you manage to stay awake?" The Woman asked. She didn’t register Pablo’s threat.

Pablo, however, was in no mood to talk anymore.

He was still hugging the Woman but the next second, he loosened his grip.

And in a swift motion, he let go of the Woman entirely.

But before the Woman could do something, Pablo held her right hand with his left hand.

The Woman was calm even after all that and she also saw the reason behind Pablo not losing his consciousness.

On Pablo’s right palm, a knife was sticking out. It pierced the Demonite suit and went inside out from Pablo’s palm.

The tip of the knife went through the back of the palm and it was coming out from the front.

"So you stabbed yourself to stay awake. What guts." The Woman praised. It takes a lot of courage to hurt oneself and Pablo did that without even the Woman knowing.

The soldiers also saw that and their admiration for Pablo increased. They all found Pablo a courageous man to follow. A fearless man in front of overwhelming power.

"You kept your hands behind me and did this stabbing. You are the smartest of the lot it seems. And if that’s not the case then you must be the most experienced one." The woman praised again and Pablo was still holding her right hand.

"Yeah," Pablo said. "You were doing something with my brain. I sensed it but I couldn’t fight it. I was losing my mind. So I gave myself pain. The pain stopped my mind from going numb."

"I get that." The Woman already knew that.

"Yes. I know you know that. I stabbed my palm in order to not lose control over your power. But… that wasn’t the only reason."

"Hmm? What’s the other reason then?" The Woman asked.

Pablo didn’t reply this time.

He just did the same thing he had done many times.

He had done it so many times that he had become the fastest in doing that.

KHICHK!

Pablo moved his right hand and the knife sticking out of his palm went right inside the head of the Woman.

Blood splattered on his face and finally, Pablo shared his second reason for stabbing his palm..

"I wanted to play with your brains too."
