Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 302 : Malthus

Pablo would have ranted about his broken glass wall but turned out, he didn't have to do that at all.

The glass wall repaired itself. It came back to the way it was before.

Pablo found that intriguing. He went towards the glass and kicked it.

A small portion of glass broke and after a few seconds, it healed itself.

'Nice.' Pablo nodded, putting the file that Harlia gave him on the table.

Cupid floated beside her, looking around the room.

"You certainly came a long way. From slums to here."

'I only killed. I reached here automatically.'

"You should meet your soldiers now." Cupid said.

'Not yet. I have to check something.'

Pablo shoved his hand inside his bracelet and took out an Abyssal black sword.

It was his sword and after killing the Demon, it was Pablo's first time holding it.

"Are you still alive?" He asked.

The sword vibrated.

"Good. I was afraid after my God Mode ended, you would also turn back to your usual dead self."

"Why did you bring it out now?" Cupid asked.

"I remembered something I promised to do."

"What?"

"After this meeting, I remembered the Demon again and what he did before dying."

Cupid began thinking about it but she didn't quite get it. Pablo told her himself.

"He told me his name."

"Oh." Cupid remembered. "So what of it?"

"I promised my sword that I will give it a name later."

Cupid finally understood.

"Go ahead."

"As if I need your permission."

Cupid rolled her eyes.

Pablo paid her no mind and stared at his sword.

"With your help, I slayed that Demon. So from today, you are…"

Pablo paused, creating some sort of anticipation before finally revealing :

"Malthus."

The Demon's name was Malthus.

Pablo chose the same name for his sword as well.

"That's not a.." Cupid wanted to say but she chose not to. It might hurt Pablo's feelings.

But the Angel wasn't the only one who had such thoughts.

Pablo's sword was also there and unlike Cupid, it shook left and right violently under Pablo's grip.

"You don't like it?" Pablo asked.

The sword shook again.

"Heh. You have the audacity to refuse."

The sword trembled but it remained adamant about the name. It won't accept it.

"That's a good name for a Demon but not for a sword, Pablo." Cupid shared her thoughts.

Pablo sighed. "Fine. I don't want my sword to hate me. I'll think of something else for you."

The sword finally rested on his palm.

Pablo thought long and hard about something new and eventually, he came around.

"Alright. I got it. I used this a long time ago. Your name will be Colt and it's final."

Pablo gave the name and he won't change it.

"That's better anyway." Cupid approved it.

The sword vibrated up and down, as if nodding. It also accepted the name.

"Alright, Colt. Keep rolling heads."

Pablo stored the sword back inside his bracelet, satisfied.

"Colt as in that pistol, right?" Cupid asked.

Pablo nodded, picking up the file from the table.

He turned around and walked towards the door of the room.

Cupid said nothing after that and Pablo left the tenth floor.

He took the stairs again and descended down.

At last, he left the building and looked around.

A guard came towards him.

"Can I help you, Marshal?"

"How many buildings are in this ground?" Pablo asked.

"Hundred. But only three are important."

Pablo frowned. "Why?"

"Well, it's to confuse any intruder. They won't know which building to attack. In the tallest building, the admiral stays. Then, there is the building of the ten Marshals and lastly, the third building is for Abyssal Butchers to come and ask their questions if they have any.

And even if an intruder finds out which building to attack, it will be in vain as the Admiral and Marshals can protect themselves easily."

"And where do the Abyssal Butchers live? The soldiers, I mean."

"They have their barracks. They don't have such buildings but they have better rooms than other regular soldiers. It's on ground 10."

"Alright. Now go to your work."

Pablo turned around, leaving ground 7.

He turned right and after walking a little further, he found the board saying ground 8.

He entered the ground and as he stepped his first foot inside…

WHOOSH!

Something went grazing his ear.

A blood drop appeared on his left cheek.

Pablo turned around and saw a spear stuck on the gate of the ground 8.

'A warm welcome.'

Pablo turned to the front and in front of him, he saw a soldier clad in black uniform.

"Just missed. I aimed for your head." The soldier said.

Pablo didn't reply and walked forward anyway.

He ignored the soldier and entered deep inside the ground.

There were a total of a hundred scattered soldiers around the ground.

Some were talking, some were using their Receivers and some were simply sleeping on the ground.

The ground was too big for a hundred people and Pablo didn't mind the extra large space.

Each Marshal and his soldiers had a ground of their own.

"Hey, don't ignore me. I was talking to you." The soldier from before came barking at Pablo.

Pablo still didn't pay him any attention.

He roamed his eyes at each soldier. He threw the file away. He had memorized all the hundred soldiers on the file. He had no need for the file anymore.

"Boss!" Someone shouted.

Pablo was looking for him and..

"Czar!" Another person shouted.

Two people walked towards Pablo and stood behind him.

They were none other than Flashy and Draxus. They were already at Pablo's side.

Now only ninety seven soldiers were in front of Pablo.

And one soldier was just beside Pablo, at his right side.

"Hey! Look at me, you bastard!" The soldier yelled. And his shout was loud enough to gather the attention of everyone.

All the soldiers darted their eyes on Pablo and the barking soldier grabbed Pablo's collar.

"You think you are some big shot! I will not accept you as my leader."

Pablo turned his head to his right.

The soldier was standing there, glaring at Pablo.

Pablo sighed.

"Leave my collar." He said.

"Fuck you." The soldier didn't listen. "I won't listen to you. You don't know who my father is. You don't kn-"

SHRILL!

A black glint glowed in Pablo's hands and after getting the name, it was the first action of Colt, Pablo's sword.

WHISH!

Pablo swung Colt.

THUD!

The soldier's head rolled on the ground. His body remained standing for a few seconds and as it began falling down, Pablo spoke…

"I am your Father."
