Chapter 1

Kiari

"Yes?" I asked as I answered the call.

"He's on the way." He announced and I ended the call. That idiot trying to run away, but no one can hide from me.

I chased everyone to hell ends. Funny how people ran away to deaths knowing that's the only thing that's permanent in this world. At least we got one thing permanent, right?

I started speeding through the streets. I'm chasing satan for Pete's sake. Just in a second, I saw him crossing the road. Have an early despair asshole.

I started speeding fast and hit him. Everything happened so fast, I stepped at brake and saw him on the other side of the road. I laughed at my own thought imagining that he experienced how to fly even on the last day of his life. Rest in peace idiot see you in hell soonest.

I walked near his dead body. His eyes wide open and blood drenching on his shirt and it flooding on the road. I closed his eyes using my covered hand. I do what I had to do, whilst making sure I made my moved safe and clear.

No evidence. Better.

I get in my car and drove my way back to my condo. I pulled my gun off from my pants pocket and placing it on the drawer beside my phone. And heading straight to the bathroom.That guy blood smell shit. I've done a heavy bath.

I closed my eyes and feel when the water outpouring my bare skin the feeling is nostalgic. Soon, I'll get what I wanted-Justice.

I'm out from the bathroom half-naked and walked straight to my closet. Wearing a black shirt and pants and of course my leather boots as well. I pulled my jacket from the coat rack stand and slung it on my shoulder. I looked at my wristwatch I smirked. Just in time, and imbibing three glass of liquor, I slipped my gun onto my waistband but before that, I made sure it's loaded of new bullets. Making sure it won't jammed on my way, I put my cap on and stride out the condo. Traveled to the parking lot and get in my car. And Insert the key into the ignition and stepped at the acceleration and started my ride to hell.

I stopped at the abandoned house near the beach. I parked and turn my car off, quickly shutting the door. I had to finished what they are started. When I entered I saw my Men flashing water on the unconscious man sitting with bruises and handcuffs. What a perfect day for me. I did my mission with perfection. He astounded as the water flashed on his ugly face. He looked at me with a stupefied expression.

He was shaking and what most disgusts me, he peed.

I plucked my gun from my waistband and aiming the gun on his head. I pulled the trigger and the deafening sound of my gun gave me satisfaction. One down and hundreds more to down. My men cleaned up the mess and they throw the man on the hell hole-on the ground and covered him.

"Who's next Master?" One of my men questioned.

"Parker Lim." Was all I said before sternly saunter and swiveled my back to them.

I got in my car and drove to another old warehouse near the beach as well. And there were my men standing. Holding poor Parker full of cuts and bruises.

"You're a psychopath Kiari." He asserted, hostile and with rigid breathing noise. I smirked.

"Where's the device? Give it to me. And you'll flight to see satan will delay." I said in a cold-deep-dark voice. And shot him a deadly glare. He just laughed and it irks me.

I stabbed him in his shoulder for defying my order. And he started contorting in pain. I applied more pressure on the knife so it will be buried on his skin deeper. And he grunted.

"Where is the device?!" I asked every word deep and emphasize.

"I-I don'- don't know Kiari." He said half trailed off.

"Useless jerk," I said. I stabbed his stomach and he yelled out in pain.

"Throw him on the ocean," I ordered my men.

"But why Master ?" One of my men asked. " Aren't we flexing evidence with that?"He added. I grinned and shot him a deadly glare.

"I'm not stupid Bogard. I always performed my Job clean right?" He nodded not throwing glances at me.

"I'll do it right away Master." He said and started carrying the bloody and lifeless parker.

My right hand Baron came immediately close to me but didn't tempt to touch me or else I got berserk and he'll die... in no time.

"Why in the ocean Ugl–Kiari?" He said. But since he's a friend, my right hand and a walking CCTV, I'll try to spoil him to ask me some stuff.

"You're stupid Baron. I want to let people know how stupid Parker was, and that the city mayor of their small town was also stupid, " I explained with a hint of my usual tone:  cold-deep and dark voice.

"What do you mean Kiari?" He asked, still puzzled. I couldn't believe I hired stupid Baron.

"People will think he died, that he was drowned in the ocean trying to catch the devilfish," I announced. I flashed him my evil smile.

"Oh, I get it. Great Kiari," Baron said in amusement, making him he smirked.

"I have to go. Take care of these men," I said. I tapped his shoulder and drove my way to hell.

When I went back to my condo. I changed my clothes and set up the lamp shape on my study table. I needed to study the flow of my business; and my enemies' businesses.

Ethics applied in business, not in my duty. If I would apply ethics in my purpose I would spend my life trying to find the diamond on a thousand feet down in the ocean. It'd take me a lifetime. And we can not be sure if it goes exactly to what we wanted. I'm an impatient person I can't tolerate waiting.

Curse the exam tomorrow! I don't wanna go to school but I have to, I need to progress my understanding too. That's how I make myself busy.

I laid on my bed and a dozen.

I groaned, then slowly opened my eyes. The blinding rays of sun oozed through the windows. I hate Monday, no basically, I hate the days of my life. But the thought of being a college student never left me. I promised my dad when I was 10  that I will finish my study.

I got up from the bed and took a bath. I filled the tub of soap and water and soaked myself there, drenching myself with my thoughts. Why can not my mind be at peace? Every time, my mind wanders it brings memories back. I opened my phone; and watched it revealed the time; okay the usual: I'm late.

Whatever, idiot, don't mind anything as if you're scared to be retaliated. I laughed at the back of my head.

I was done fixing myself and my appearance looked more decent and cool. While the inside of me existed a pool of mess. I positioned my bag on my shoulder and donned my earbuds. I drove my way to school with the same speed, and down to the highway.

I parked my Dark blue Ferrari at the end of the school valet parking lot. I did walk to my last subject. Pretty cool, right? I attend classes depending on what subject I could catch up with. Young, wild, and free.

Miss loreca was in the middle of her lectures when I entered the room, all eyes are landed on me. But I throw dead glances on them, and they started to avoid looking at me. That's right ugly people, don't look demons straightly in the eye. Or else you'll forget your own personal data.

When I'm late they don't mind anymore, perhaps, they used to it. They got mad at me and they only stressed themselves. So they just pretend I'm none existent but funny as it is, my name was still in that one sheet of our school attendance. They all scared at me and didn't dare to remove my name on it.

I headed straight at my proper sit but this short ugly guy sitting there. That idiot never learned from the past exercise I gave to him. I stand behind him and tapped his shoulder rudely. He just looked at me like You-need-anything-Handsome kiari?

"Move," I said with a deep cold voice and threatened manner.

He stood up and walked away, heading straight to hell.

I sit silently and reading what Ms. Loreca's writings on the board. That's a boring topic. When she's done writing he folds her books fixing her stuffed and said goodbye. lmao? Great! at least I go to school. I'm still a student, right?

I get out of the room and walked to my locker. Did I open my locker and a lot of letter flooding in my sight? holy sake! who put these on my locker?! their admiration is not my concern! Annoying fan girls when I saw them I'll cut their fingers and grabbed their eyeballs! I crumpled all the letters and scattered it on the alley.

I get my cap and shade on my locker. Put them on, and get out of school. People said that angels are believed to be guardians over individuals and nations. The view that there is a guardian angel watching over children. But I don't believe that I'd be more careful every time I go out. No angels watching over me. Only the private killer of my enemies.

So, I have to be extra careful or else my head will be blown off. And I will see everyone I've killed in hell. That's a great reunion, right? Satan would probably laugh in felicity!

I drove my way to the condo and changed my clothes. I'm wearing my mask and black cap. Black sweater and black pants and black world balance shoes. Slipped back the loaded gun in my waistband. Two shots of heavy drinks and enjoy the raced with satan.

In a second, I'm in the warehouse. Pulled my gun while entering the house, I had a bad feeling about this. No one of my men guarding outside. There's an intruder in the house. I slowly taking big yet quite stepped to get inside.

I saw a tall man standing, I was behind him.

"Why don't you try one shot Kiari?" He said with a sarcastic tone and turned around.

"Why are you here? Where's my men? and Baron?" I said nonchalantly angered.

"They're on their way to hell." He said calmed and drink the liquor on his left hand. He turned side view and I shot the liquor on his hand. He stunned, I guess he didn't see this coming.

"Where are they asshole?" I asked I can't lose Baron he's my friend, personal guard, Men, or whatever type of alien or human he is. He knows everything to me.

"They're gone haha." the old ugly laughed in idiotic behavior and grinned playfully.

I turned, distracted to the man came sprinting, I point the gun on his head and he immediately stop before his head got blown off.

"Where are they?" I asked him. He looked away and Hesitate to answered me. I shot his legs and he yelled out in pain.

"Stop it Kiari I'm here to talked to you." The ugly old said nonchalantly. Sit back on the chair and crossed his legs.

"For the last time, I ask where in the hell did you bring Baron?!" I said as angered taken my whole body.

"He's in the forestry they're having they are lunched there." He said with idiotic behavior playfully smiling.

"Bring them here," I ordered the men I shot earlier. He nodded and started running while limping.

"What do you want an ugly old man?" I asked him and he seems annoyed I like that expression. Furrowed brows and smirked darkly.

"What did you do to Parker?" He asked nonchalantly and Showing me the newspaper on his right hand.

"He had his flight yesterday to hell," I said and smirked.

"You killed Him?" He asked. But he thinks he was smart as I? hell no. I'm observant all the time, that even in the smallest detail I saw.

He was holding his phone I know he was doing an audio recording.

"Why do you asked me? Why don't you used those lawyers and police to know the truth and to catch the killer?" I darkly smirked. I know deep inside him he was already killing me.

"You move cleaned Kiari. No evidence left." He said. Should I say to him my deepest gratitude for flattering me? The Lawyer is useless and the police too. Since they manipulate by the useless government. That's Dad warned me when I was young.
