Chapter-142 Beheading the [No-Head Dragon] pt-3
"It belongs to me! Not you!" (James)
As a wise man once quoted,
'Human greed knows no bounds!'
---
"You...were...my...friend!" (Huang)
"Why...betray...me!?" (Huang)
Huang was struggling to speak due to the poison coursing through his system.
"I wouldn't be trying to move if I were you." (James)
"The poison is a slow one but is extremely lethal!" (James)
James simply sneered while looking at his "friend" frothing on the ground.
One could see the rage and hate behind his eyes as he kneeled and grabbed Huang's collar.
"Why did I betray you!? No no no!....You! Betrayed me!" (James)
*hua!*
James raised his "friend" above his torso and through his paralyzed body at the glass table.
*shatter!*
The glass broke into hundreds of little pieces due to the sudden impact of Huang being thrown over it.
"Graghh!" (Huang)
*tap!*
James swiftly made his way towards Huang and once again raised the latter into the air.
"You took all the credit for whatever I did!" (James)
*hua!*
And again! He throws his crystal fountain installed in the middle of the room.
*shatter!*
"Graahgh!" (Huang)
A painful groan was released from Huang's mouth as the fountain broke apart and collapsed on top of his right hand!
*steps*
*crunch!*
James, wearing boots walked right over the shattered glass and crystal; making his way towards his "friend".
"You consolidated your power by stealing was should have been rightfully mine!" (James)
"Boss should have chosen me! Not you!" (James)
"And now, I will kill you!" (James)
"You...will...not...get...away!" (Huang)
Huang gritted his teeth as he glared at James with all his might!
If only looks could kill a man; then James wouldn't have died a few hundred times already!
"Oh but I will!" (James)
James had a calculating smile on his face as he took pleasure in watching Huang's eyes widen at the implication of his words.
"[Sin of the Dragon] will be framed for your murder and boss will have no choice but to make me the new leader!" (James)
"In the end, everything would turn out to be as it should have been!" (James)
"Me!....As the lord! Not you!" (James)
"Y..o.u!...." (Huang)
The former leader of the Japanese branch of [No Head Dragon] opened his mouth to speak but no words came out of his mouth.
The slow poison had finally started to kill him.
Blood flowed out of his eyes and nose as his consciousness flickered like a candle on a windy day.
James just looked at his "friend" and spoke in a cold tone.
"Goodbye.....'my friend'!" (James)
---
*Clap!*
*Clap!*
*Clap!*
"Who is there!? Show yourself!" (James)
Hearing the sudden sound, James immediately turned around and raised his gun towards the source of the disturbance.
"Quite a show you put there, James Zhu." (Erik)
The world seemed to slow down for a single moment as the space inside the room started to strangely bend.
The chairs, tables, beds, broken shards of glass and crystal along with everything else other than James and Huang; started to float mid-air.
This included the gun that James had aimed towards the source of the sound.
The latter tried to grab onto his gun but he just....couldn't!
"Who are you! What is going on!?" (James)
James roared without a target, the place where the sound was coming from was empty!
No one was standing there, speaking to him!
Being someone with a rather high IQ, he immediately connected this phenomenon to the bending of space within the room.
"I never doubted the lengths people are willing to go to; to try and satisfy their greed." (Juumonji)
The space around the unconscious Huang started to suddenly twist as two figures wrapped into existence!
"You are right, Juumonji." (Erik)
"Greed and power have turned brother against brother." (Erik)
The distorted space also wrapped the light, it made it seem like the light had come to life!
It danced around the newcomers and coiled against their bodies; illuminating their features.
"What!? It can't be!" (James)
James stepped back in fright as he easily recognized the newcomers!
"Erik Saltzman and Juumonji Katsuto!?" (James)
"But how!? No! Rather why!...are you here!?" (James)
Erik looked towards James with an indifferent expression as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Why? Of course to repay the [No Head Dragon] gifts!" (Erik)
"Oh, also to ask you a question." (Erik)
"W-What do y—" (James)
Erik raised his hand as a huge amount of psion moved through the distorted space.
His "chartreuse phosphorescent eyes" glowed with a silver twinkle as he tapped into the great power he possessed.
The power to control time!
The power to become death's composer!
"[Eidos Manipulation:-Time-Rewind]"
(Erik)
*BWWWMPPHHHHTICKTickticktick!*
The world seemed to slow down to a fraction of a second.
The previously floating tables, chairs, shards of glass, and crystal had also seemed to freeze in their tracks!
The water from the broken fountain that had been floating mid-air also seemed to come to a halt.
Along with the figure of James; frozen mid-speech.
Even so, Katsuto seemed unaffected by Erik's power since the space around his body was distorted.
Erik turned to look towards the unconscious, near-dead Huang who was also frozen in time.
"This will be interesting." (Erik)
He clenched his fist and made a twisting gesture as the injuries on Huang's body started to disappear!
Erik was turning back the hands of time to the moment before Huang was poisoned by James.
He was restoring the body of the enemy and the readers had no idea why he was doing so!?
Anyway, he opened his palm as the psion dispersed into the space.
The time seemed to be returning to its original condition; into the room filled with varying objects casually floating mid-air.
But time wasn't the only thing that was returned to its original condition.
"JAMES!!" (Huang)
The now awakened Huang roared in anger and rage as he had regained consciousness after Erik "restored" him.
"But! How!?" (James)
James was also free from the constraints of time as he gasped in astonishment after seeing Huang recovered.
Oh boy, this is getting interesting....
