Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 346: Second Phase

Flashy stated the name of the killer.

The soldier of the first Marshal, Ted Dorla, that was the name Flashy revealed to his fake father.

"That guy is the killer?" Luther asked, surprise evident in his voice.

"Yes. He is the real killer. He has lost his mind. He saw a threat in Pablo so today, in Pablo’s sleep, he killed him. And he killed my mother as well. Ted is the real killer, dad."

"I can’t believe it. How did you find this out?"

"I suspected Ted when he was so eager to deem Pablo as the real killer. He was too eager. It was as if he wanted to use someone else to remove suspicion from him. But when he realized he couldn’t make Pablo seem like the killer in everyone’s eyes, he decided to use someone else. And that someone else was..."

"Julia." Luther finished Flashy’s sentence.

"Yes. My mom." Flashy continued talking. "He knew mom was cheating on you so he used that chance, went inside the hut and killed everyone present there in the night. And the next day, we all know what happened. My mom was deemed as the killer and no one suspected Ted."

"Why is he killing and what made you so sure that he is the killer?"

Flashy gritted his teeth.

"I fucking saw him killing Pablo Castillo, dad. I saw it with my own eyes. He stabbed Pablo in his sleep while laughing like a maniac. Pablo was sleeping in one of the candidates’ rooms. While Ted killed him, he confessed everything. He laughed as he said he is the killer. I was standing outside the door and I heard it all. And after hearing that, I ran to the nearest candidate’s room I could find. And now I am hiding here."

"I have to tell this to the first Marshal. This is fucked up, son. Come back here. You are not safe there."

"I can’t. Ted is still roaming around here. If I leave the room, he will kill me. He is looking for more victims. And don’t you dare to tell the first Marshal, dad. This Ted killed my mother. I want you to kill him yourself. Or I will do it."

"My wife didn’t loved me anyway, son. She died because of her own mistakes. What revenge should I take for her?"

’Boss predicted this would happen.’

"You have to do it for me, dad. Or else, I would take Ted on myself. I will kill him."

"No. No. Don’t do that. He is stronger than you. You will die, son. I will do something. Come back. Tell where you are. I will come there myself. Stay in that room. I am coming."

Flashy found desperation in Luther’s voice and now only one thing was needed to be done.

"No. I will kill him myself. You are not sounding confident. I will kill that Ted bastard myself!"

THUMP!

The door of Flashy’s room came crashing down.

It broke.

"Who will you kill now?" Then a heavy voice came.

"Who is there? What happened, son? Are you fine? Answer me!"

Luther screamed from the other side.

"Dad! He is here. He will kill me. He heard me. He will kill me. Ted is here!"

Flashy screamed in return as well. He was only screaming though. Otherwise, he was sitting on his bed with no problem.

"You were spying on me weren’t you, John. You have to die now. Sorry for that." The heavy voice came again.

"Dad. He is going to kill me. Ted is going to kill me! Save me, dad!"

"I am coming, son! Ted! Don’t you dare do anything to him. I will rip you to shreds. I will skin you alive!"

"Fuck off, second Marshal. Your son will die today."

The heavy voice said to Luther.

Luther cursed some more.

STEP!

STEP!

Heavy steps rang in the room and Luther also heard it from his Receiver. Those steps were coming towards Flashy.

"No. Don’t kill me. Don’t choke me. Don’t... I am sorry, dad. I am weak. I love you."

KHLICK!

A bone snapping sound came after Flashy’s last remarks.

Then everything went silent.

After a second, Luther’s screams rang again.

"John! John! Ted, you bastard! I will kill you. I will kill you myself!"

"Hehe. I dare you, marshal. I killed the Demon slayer Pablo. What can you do to me? Still, if you want to take revenge, I will be waiting at ground 0. Come alone. And this offer is only for today. Come at me, you bastard! Hahaha!"

"I will come. I will surely come, you swine fuc-"

CRUSH!

The Receiver broke in pieces.

The talking ended.

"Hah. That was tense." The heavy voice said.

"You can talk normally now." Flashy spoke.

"Yeah, right. I forgot. And that was some great acting." The heavy voice turned light and it praised Flashy for his acting.

"Yeah. You did good too, Nike. You have a talent for this." Flashy praised the other person too.

And that other person was none other than Nike. Pablo’s eldest male slave.

"Thanks. But my master always comes with great plans." Nike said.

Flashy smiled.

"I know. Boss knew Luther won’t get angry at his wife’s death after knowing her truth so his son has to die for him to take revenge against Ted. And now for Luther, Pablo Castillo is dead and his son too."

"Yes. He is a genius."

"And destroy that bone now. No one should find it." Flashy said.

Nike nodded. He used a regular bone to make the bone snapping sound.

He stored it inside his bracelet.

"Anyway, I will take my leave now." Nike said.

"I will come too. I can’t stay in this room."

Flashy left the bed.

He couldn’t sleep in a room which had no door.

Therefore, with Nike, Flashy went to the room of the slave and went to sleep.

They had done their part.

Now it was all on Pablo and Draxus.

And these two people were still inside the shadow and they were standing outside a door of a room.

Whose room was it?

It belonged to the fake killer—Ted Dorla.

And without waiting for anything, Pablo began the second phase of his plan.
