“So you’ll assassinate me, right?” Mr. Martins asked smiling at Chief Chris.
“Hmmm… probably.” Chief Chris replied smiling. From behind, two thunderous slaps landed on Mr. Martins face and he fell on his knees.
“You fool!” Chief Chris yelled happily.
“I fooled you to come here all alone and you fell for my trick.” Chief Chris paused and he laughed hysterically.
“At first, I want to accept defeat and face the result of my misdeed, I submit to face the wrath of my misdeed, I believe all that’s happening to me are the repercussions of my misdemeanors, Lately, I thought of doing the impossible, I realized the game is not over until it’s over, I rose on my feet to fight till the end. I know you’re the pillar behind those boys back, you’re there courage and valor, and you are their neck that holds their heads.” Chief Chris paused.
“But would it be fun breaking the neck and the heads fell down helplessly.” He continued in parable.
“I don’t even think you can easily fall for my trick, an ex-soldier to the core.” Chief Chris commented and he laughed out loud.
“I know this is what you’ve on mind, you wish me dead and depart me from this life, but I believe that can’t be done easily.” Mr. Martins uttered confidently and he smiled softly.
“This is a perfect example of what is called ‘foolishness’, are you thinking of escaping? My man, stop fooling yourself, there is no way you can escape from here, so I’ll just advice you to cooperate and die easily.” Chief Chris elucidated with smile all over his face.
“But why must you do this, must you kill me?” Mr. Martins asked with pale face.
“Absolutely yes, I must kill you. Martins, you make things hard for me, you disturbed my missions ever since back then when you’re still in the force, you destabilize my businesses, I don’t know why you’re always nosy on things that doesn’t concern you, because of Leo and the Bravura Demolisher, you left the force, after you dropped your resignation letter, I thought everything ends there, but hell no, I don’t know how you met those boys, you housed them and strengthen their courage. Do you know those boys? Do you know the kind of pains and twinges the escapement of those boys caused on me? I’m sure you can’t understand and you won’t understand till you breathe your last breath.” Chief Chris elucidated with serious impression on his wicked face.
Mr. Martins sluggishly rose on his feet, one of the men behind Mr. Martins tried to hit him hard so as to make him knee but Chief Chris rebutted and restrained him.
“Chief Chris, you haven’t triumph even if you succeed eliminating me… beside, I know this is what you have on your mind and I’ve prepared for this.” Mr. Martins uttered and his statement left Chief Chris mouth opened in agape.
“What do you mean?” Chief Chris asked stammering.
“Absolutely nothing, but I believe these idiots may be hang to death in just a twinkle of an eyes.” Mr. Martins replied confidently also referring to Chief Chris’s assassins. Surprisingly and unbelievably, three of Chief Chris’ assassins were hanged up to the iron-made tent.
“What… s happening h…ere?” Chief Chris stammered confusingly, sweat rolled down from his heads to his feet, he wish the land could just open up and swallow him.
“This is what I referred to as co-incidence, you see three of your four men are dead in less than a minute and the last one has kneed down before your three bartenders that served us with all these on the table.” Mr. Martins paused looking at the three bartenders.
“Weldone job guys.” Mr. Martins commented and the three bartenders pull off their disguise masks and the bartender’s uniform.
“Oh my Goodness!” Chief Chris sighed shockingly and he collapsed immediately.
“Daniel, Ola, Henry, you guys really surprised me, I still can’t believe you did this professionally.” Mr. Martins commented as he hugged us passionately.
“This assassin trained us but unfortunate for him, we are more perfect than him now.” Daniel joked and he hit Henry playfully and we all burst in laughter.
“Should we kill him or let him go?” Daniel asked pointing at the puzzled and frozen assassin.
“Hmmm… what’s your name?” Mr. Martins asked directing his question to the left-over assassin.
“Marcus but nicknamed ‘fire’.” The assassin replied shivering.
“Marcus, how long have you been working for this nuisance?” Mr. Martins asked referring to Chief Chris.
“Hmmm…” Marcus stammered.
“And I want sincere answers from you else I won’t hesitate to blow off your head.” Mr. Martins warned and threatened.
“Sir, please don’t kill me… I am one of the Bravura Demolisher; a fake secret cult, a notable member to be precise…” Marcus paused.
“Hehe… continue.” Mr. Martins permitted.
“Sir, we’ve taken oath with our blood never to publicize the secret of this group, I don’t know the repercussions if we broadcast the secret, you know a secret must remain a secret but I know the swearword is real.” Marcus voiced out shivering.
“Marcus, there’s nothing to worry about, all this cussword of a thing are phony, they are not real. Marcus, your death means nothing to me, if I kill you it is of no good to me nor you, I will rather advice you to continue with your narration or I blow off your head.” Mr. Martins assured and threatened.
“If I tell you everything, you promise not to kill me, right?” Marcus asked for further confirmation.
“I promised Marcus.” Mr. Martins vowed.
“Bravura Demolisher dominates almost every educational institutes in this country; universities, polytechnic, colleges, secondary schools are not to be excluded. This so call secret cult is fake because this deadly group is sponsored and used by notable citizens of this country, politicians and rich men and women to be precise, students that falls victim to this group are outnumbered, the notable members of this cult group works for the politicians and many of those in power, they becomes their dogs and assassins, they sent them to kill and rescue, I became one of the top ranked member of this so call Bravura Demolisher barely eight months ago, I have killed over thirty people within this short period of time. Sir, I wish I was never a member of this group because I regrets at last, I become an agent of devil and a worldly death, I kill and oppress those below me, I earn a lot from this killing we call business. Sir, please spare me because I don’t want to die.” Marcus elucidated and begged.
“I don’t even know what to say… thirty people in just eight months. Gosh!” Daniel sighed surprisingly.
“Even if I don’t kill you what will kill you is living behind you… the saying that ‘no offender will go unpunished’ is nothing but the truth, also another saying says that ’anyone that’s using spear to kill a fellow person, such person would surely be kill by spear’.” Mr. Martins paused.
“Before I let go of you, do you know any member of the Bravura Demolisher known as Leo? He’s also one of the top ranked members of the Bravura Demolisher.” Mr. Martins asked.
“Leo? I know him very well; we both work for the Chief Chris… he is my friend but more deadly than me” Marcus replied.
“Oh! I see.” Mr. Martins sighed smiling.
