Chapter 156: White Fang (8)

Chapter 156: White Fang (8)

~Jack POV~

After telling Neo everything she was in complete denial of it and quickly called me a liar about the whole thing but not loud enough.

Figures as much but…

There is a way.

Opening my hand out to her activating my <Silver Eyes> giving her the immediate truth that she doesn't want to believe to hand over the necklace, "If you doubt me then how about I show you it's true? Hand over the necklace and see me kill the Grimm Spore inside. That alone would verify what I say is the truth."

Neo glances at me and the necklace taking her time before she finally agrees.

*SHIII*

"Squeee…!"

Like that the Grimm inside the necklace soon died coming out with my <Silver Eyes> killing it on the spot making Neo's eyes go blank at this… and a whole lot of emotions coming out from her... she's pissed.

Hate.

Anger.

Confusion.

Rage.

Despair.

Delusion.

And back to anger.

Yup seems like Neo's emotions are really mixed about this considering how I can tell her thoughts using <Telepathy>.

She merely mumbles to herself in a very deep angry tone judging from how tight her hands are with her teeth gritting, "No… nonononono…. This wasn't supposed to happen… Him. It's his fault he gave Roman that stupid piece of trash."

Sensing someone coming inside using my <Telepathy> soon enough I changed back to a WF grunt using <Overactive Imagination> with Adam coming out soon, "Tell me Human what has my fellow brother spoken to you about."

Taking this chance, I used <Observe> on him to see where he stands.

Why not right?

[-Fusion Conditions-

Description: Adam Taurus formerly a worker for the Schnee Dust Company, and later the leader of the White Fang's Vale branch as well as a ruthless killer to humans and Faunus that support co-existence with humans. He hates what he dislikes and kills any who dare opposes his ideology of enslaving and killing humans. You must do one of the following to get his skill:

1. is to be his best friend.

Or…

2. Be the most hateful target he ever met.]

…

I'm going for 2 just to spite this motherfucker.

Neo could only keep herself calm amazingly enough while she acts out what she says to Adam immediately, "He told us that we may have a group after us. Grimm attacked his men leaving him to be alive after a series gunshots were heard. We can probably assume that a group or Huntsman are in the area."

Adam glares at her hatefully while we both watched his eyes turn to that like Grimm.

There was no way I would miss those crimson hate-filled eyes.

But the most notable feature is the symbol his eyes had… they had Salem insignia all over them.

Adam soon turned around and leaves getting the information with me looking at Neo's eyes filled with shock while I pointed out the obvious, "Did… did he actually have Grimm's eyes…"

Neo for her part could only slowly nod in agreement with everything now finally coming into place making her growl speaking out a name with pure hate, "Hazel… he gave them to both me and Roman…. He will pay. If it's the last thing I do I will make sure he dies a horrific death when I'm done."

Wait…

Hazel?

Getting my attention immediately off this I then questioned Neo in clear surprise, "Wait hold up. Hazel? Like Hazel Rainart big guy and looks calm and rarely speaks."

Neo looked surprised but narrowed her eyes at me with a nod making me worried about how dangerous this just got.

Adam and Roman, I could but Hazel?

And each of them having that Eye of Grimm could be real trouble.

Seems like I'm going to not let them get involved after all considering the level gap and their willingness to kill us…

Better to get rid of them but what about Roman I doubt Neo would let me kill him unless he changes first.

Glancing my eyes to Neo returning to the plan at hand I call forth a truce about how to deal with them, "Shit. I don't think I have a choice here… Neo want to call a temporary truce?"

Getting that immediately she glares at me with suspicion but reluctantly nodded seeing the situation we were in as she spoke out, "… Fine. At least till you allow me to kill Hazel myself and get that Pendent off Roman."

Figures as much but understandable.

They were the best of friends for the longest of times but right now she wants to hope his still there.

Still, it's better than getting no help from their side.

And here I was hoping for the chance to have Roman and Neo play King and Queen of the Underworld ready, but plans change, I guess.

Nodding in agreement that I'll help out I voiced what I need from Hazel first though, "Deal. But I need to collect some things from Hazel's memory after that he's all yours. Assuming we don't die first of course."

Neo accepted it with her talking to me lightly if I had any plan to go about this, "Fine. Why don't you call your backup? Guessing the gunshots from earlier is from your group?"

Agreeing with that I think it would be best to call Glynda on this and send her the coordinates… if only for one problem.

Shaking my head and showing my Scroll to Neo I replied it was impossible because of where we are located in, "While I would like to do that, I'm afraid I can't. The signal here is too low for me to get any response out for my team."

Neo clicks her teeth bringing out her umbrella shift weapon already having a solution to this, "Tch. In that case the good old fashion assassination it is then."

I could only nod in agreement surprising Neo but first I let out what we need to do first, "Right. But first how about we do something about the train and take the necklace off them."

Pausing at this Neo agreed and still in disguise follow her out of the medical tent while we our way around seeing the base of the underground village.

I only followed behind Neo going towards the train with me viewing everything happening here of the White Fang grunts carrying the packages of Dust into the train.

Good.

Seems like everything is going well so far now to deal with Roman Power Pendent first.

Following behind Neo slightly we both managed to finally see Roman once we got inside the train letting me see him talking things with Hazel, "Good. With things progressing you should be done in the next week soon. How are plans of obtaining the girl and the boy?"

Roman sighs at this but ignores Hazel already agreeing with him making the both of us pause what I hear next, "Yeah. Yeah, I get it. Get the girl and boy with Silver Eyes. I swear what the hell is miss fire's bitch doing if she ain't in Vale?"

Hazel gave out a short gruff of his voice when he began to respond in simple words, "Getting allies last I hear in Vacuo with her allies."

Now I have something to do before the Vytal Festival begins but this is first.

However, I can already tell what they want is me and Ruby considering I showed my <Silver Eyes> much to Ozpin's dismay.

Seeing Neo about to do something stupid I hold her shoulder seeing as they haven't seen us yet. I whisper to her in a harsh tone, "Wait. Attack when I can get their pendants first. We really can't have the big guy have an advantage, right?"

Neo calms down a bit before she nods and harshly replied to me readying her weapon, "Right… then do it."

Agreeing with it I was curious to know what his level was right now before I go ahead and take off his pendant.

Were fucked…

If I don't have this chance.

Now!

*Swoosh*

Going on I used <Psychokinesis> to quickly go ahead and take their pendants by surprise with Neo, suddenly attacking Hazel and aiming for the head him catching it without much issue but his eyes widen seeing he has no hax item.

Great… what's his level say now punk.

Now those are levels I can handle.

Hazel holds Neo's weapon in place because he fucking beats her stats to shame even without the boost holding it getting Roman immediate attention right away, "Neo! What the hell is with you why would you attack our esteemed guest!"

No longer holding it together Neo began to growl at Hazel clearly surprising him when she spoke out growling at him, "Roman! Snap out of it! That necklace you wore had a Grimm inside influencing your mind it will turn you into a slave when it's activated on command!"

"What?!"

Roman seems to get his attention together with anger in his eyes Neo manages to get off Hazel's grip twirling around standing side by side with Hazel merely glancing at them, "So you know. It really doesn't matter. And frankly, you are making a mistake."

Roman seems to have a hard time getting himself together pointing his weapon at Hazel and glaring at him, "Hey buddy I wasn't told this damn thing was going to control me! No one. And I mean no one tries to control how I do things ever again and especially seeing my partner pointing this out. The power is nice but trusting my friend seems better."

Huh?

Guess Roman really is a kind guy if I saw this side more often.

However, I can feel things are about to get ugly soon enough when Hazel only sighs at this glancing at us in a cold look at me specifically, "You really should've worn the gift girl. And Roman you really shouldn't go against us. Spores… activate."

"SQUEEE…!"

Seeing the Pendant released a tentacle-like Grimm appear before me two of them in fact I canceled out my disguise activating my <Silver Eyes> catching these fuckers in their tracks and getting everyone's attention.

*SHIII*

"SQUEE…?!"

"SQUEEE…?!"

Just as I reveal myself Roman grunts at me but then turns his attention towards Hazel with three of us against him, but he still looks at me calmly as he spoke, "I see… so that's how she knew of the <Eye of Grimm>. No matter boy. The process is already beginning and there is nothing you can do to stop it. And you make my job capturing you easier."

Roman scoffs at this pointing out a major flaw in Hazel's words when he spoke out loud, "Hah! Sorry friend but didn't you give it to only just us here?"

I keep my eye on Hazel having my M.V.S. out because something tells me what I fear of what he says next, "No. In fact, I made sure to give another to one other person before you Roman. In fact, given how loud we all are..."

*Click*

Turning around I soon see his point.

We are totally surrounded by all corners.

God damn it.
