Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 398 - Dark Lord Shows No Mercy

The senators who had their eyes covered looked around bewildered after hearing Michael's voice. Meanwhile, Connors and the spartan stared at Michael with their eyes wide open. Their eyes were glued to him as he landed on the deck.

When he landed on the deck, he flicked his wrist as a tall frightening throne made of skull and bones materialized on the deck.? The six senators including Vibius were trying to see what was happening.

"What? Where?" Vibius growled. He kept struggling against the ropes to free himself.

Connors couldn't believe his eyes. He had heard about Lucifer and seen sketches of him yet in reality, he looked more menacing. The skull mask on his face was a dead giveaway of his identity as Lucifer.

Both of their eyes were glued to him. They saw him leisurely sitting on his throne, leaning back and putting his leg on the other. His crimson eyes landed on Connors.

At this moment, they heard a creaking noise coming from behind. They looked over their shoulders to see a gray-haired man walking towards Lucifer. Connors could tell the man had some kind of injury in his leg looking at the man's gait. He was slightly limping. Surprisingly the man didn't seem like a prisoner of Lucifer. Rather, he seemed like Lucifer's minion.

"My Lord" He bowed standing before Lucifer,

"Take off his blind" Connors saw Lucifer pointing his finger at Vibius,

"Who are you?" Regardless of the shock, the Spartan soldier was brave enough to question Michael.

"I should ask you the same, Spartan Captain Decimus. Who are you?" Lucifer added, tilting his head.

The Spartan didn't understand Lucifer's question. Thus, he had a bewildered look on his face.

"Your job was to follow orders Spartan. Not poke your nose into where it doesn't belong. When you chose to do that, you put yourself and the others in danger" Spartan's heartbeat gradually raised as they heard another creaking voice from behind,

As Connors turned his head behind, he surprisingly saw a woman dragging another woman in a red tunic towards Lucifer. She had a baby covered in cloth in her arms.

"DILLIA!" the spartan immediately cried out loud looking at the woman in the red tunic. She was being dragged by her hand by another woman in a gray long coat. His wife didn't move at all as she seemed to have lost consciousness.

"LET HER GO!" The Spartan growled as he violently struggled against the ropes to escape but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't untie the ropes.

The senators were trying to make sense of what was happening by hearing the shouts and Lucifer's words. At this moment, Gibson finally took off Vibius's blindfold to let him see everything.

Vibius's vision wasn't clear. Everything in front of him was blurry. He also felt an urge to throw up but he was able to control the urge. When his vision finally cleared, he was stunned by the black figure sitting on the throne.

His heart skipped a beat. The figure's crimson red eyes were not on him but on the Spartan. Vibius did not recognize the Spartan yet he quickly recognized Connors.

"You bastard! I will kill you!"

The spartan kept screaming while Maxine was dragging the spartan's wife towards Lucifer.

"Kill me? Hahaha," Michael burst into laughter. He grabbed the unconscious wife of the Spartan, lifting her up by her neck.? He stood up from his throne while Maxine remained by his side with the baby in her arms.

Gibson was moving his head staring at both Lucifer and the Spartan.

"It will take me less than a second to snap her neck right this instance"

Holding her in one hand, Michael ran his index finger through her face. A red line appeared along the way as blood slowly started to seep through the cut.

The Spartan was struggling more and more violently. Connors saw the Spartan trying to stand up but fell onto the floor ultimately. Still, the Spartan kept trying. Gibson felt pity for the Spartan.

"This is what happens when you try to be what you're not supposed to be"

"DON'T HURT HER!" The spartan's rage in his voice disappeared completely when he saw Lucifer take the baby in his arms. Compared to his 7ft stature and bulky armor, the baby seemed tiny in his arms.

Even Gibson's heart skipped a beat when he saw the baby in Lucifer's arms. Michael placed his hand on the baby's tiny head. Everyone could tell the baby and the mother was sedated as they remained without moving a muscle.

"Tell me Spartan, is the investigation more important than the lives of your beloved wife and the newborn child?"

Connors had no idea about what the hell was Lucifer talking about. However, Vibius knew about the investigation the Spartan captain was conducting. His spies reported to him about the Decimus's investigation of what happened during Senator Viridius's daughter's marriage. The entire senate of Gisel was wiped off that day except for Caius.? The Spartan captain was conducting an investigation to find out what truly happened that day.

He suspected Senator Caius had a hand in that explosion which took the lives of all the Senators, their families as well as many nobles. Decimus had received threatening letters from unknown people asking him to drop the investigation. Still, Decimus continued his investigation.

"What was your end game plan, Spartan Decimus?"? As he asked the Spartan, Michael lifted the wife by her neck. In one hand, he held the baby, in the other, he held the mother.

Vibius's neck moved in the direction of Lucifer. He was too stunned to utter a word. Until now, he didn't believe in the existence of the so-called Dark Lord whom the order of death believed in so much.

Spartan Decimus kept struggling as Lucifer came in front of him. Connors was able to see Lucifer so close. The dark cloud of smoke faded away revealing his metal armor. The intricate black armor had a skull on the chest. The armor looked both sturdy and flexible. There was not a single place that exposed what was underneath the armor.

Each step he took towards them produced a heavy thud sound. Maxine followed him behind.

"Get him up" Connors heard Lucifer order the woman behind him. The woman quickly stepped forward to get behind the Spartan. Then she grabbed the Spartan by his shoulder, making him stand straight up.

"Take off his helmet" The woman quickly lifted off Decimus's helmet to reveal his clean-shaven face. Decimus had shoulder-length dirty brown hair. Due to his clean-shaven look, the scars on his face were visible. At the moment, his hazel eyes looked bloodshot red because of the overwhelming anger and helplessness.

"What are you?" Decimus growled as Michael let go of Dillia's neck. She fell onto the wooden floor making a thud sound.

Michael could hear Decimus's heart pound against his chest. He wanted to teach this idiot Spartan a lesson. Michael couldn't care less of who's getting promoted among the spartans. As far as he was concerned, they were supposed to follow the order of Caius and help him take over the southern continent in the future. Imagine his surprise when he heard from Caius that a nobody Spartan got promoted after the death of the previous Spartan Captain and started to conduct an investigation on what happened at Viridius's daughter's marriage.

Since there was no international court of law in the Southern continent like on earth, he knew the Spartan Captain was collecting evidence to show the people and nobles and get himself elected as the head senator in the election. He was looking to replace Caius which made Michael kidnap Decimus and his family along with all the Senators of Maven kingdom.

"DILLIA" Yet again Decimus' screamed looking at his wife on the ground.

Normally Michael wouldn't hurt innocents such as the spartan's wife or the baby but this time he made an exception, he wanted to teach Decimus a lesson.

The very next moment while Decimus was struggling to bend down and pick his wife up, Michael put his boot on her neck. He did not put any pressure but placed his boot on her neck.

"BASTA-"

Pulch!

Decimus's shout was interrupted by a punch to his gut. The punch had enough power to create a fist shaped dent in his armor as well as cough out mouth full of blood.

The blood oozed out of Decimus's mouth. Connors looked up at the Spartan to see his eyes closing and opening. He seemed to be struggling to stay awake.

"Look at your beloved wife under my feet. I can squeeze the life out of her in front of your very eyes"

Michale moved his boots, pretending to press her throat with his boot. However, he didn't put any pressure at all. He would hurt Decimus for the trouble he caused for Caius but never intended to hurt innocents like Dillia or her child. However, he wanted the Spartan, Connors, and Vibius to think that he would go any length to destroy his enemies.

"Stop…stop…please" the spartan breathed heavily. There was no anger in his voice, he was pleading with Michael.

"I will teach you a precious lesson today, Decimus. Every action has a reaction"

When he flicked his wrist, Connors saw a ling syringe appear in his hand.

"No'

Pulch!

Decimus received another punch to his gut. This time, the blood and saliva came spraying out of his mouth. Maxine grabbed Decimus's hair, keeping his head straight so he could look at Lucifer and the baby.

"Shit" Gibson cursed as he saw Lucifer injecting the needle into the baby's tiny arm. He was stunned completely as he started to sweat. He knew Lucifer was ruthless but he had never imagined he would be cruel and ruthless enough to hurt a newborn child.

"Ple…please" the words barely escaped Decimus's mouth. Connors was not a big fan of Spartans but even he felt pity for Decimus at the moment.

"Your child will have the poison running through his veins all his life because of your mistake. With a snap of my fingers, I can activate the poison and end his life just like that" Connors felt a chill running through his spine. If Lucifer could do that to a baby, Connors couldn't even imagine what he's gonna do to the grownups like them.

"As for your wife" Michael looked down at Dillia before turning his gaze back at the Spartan,

"She will make a great snack for the sharks"

Pulch!

Before even the words could sink into Decimus's mind, Michael punched him so hard on the head, immediately knocking him out. The Senators who heard his words including Vibius shivered in fear. Gibson's legs kept shivering.

"You" Gibson never thought Lucifer would suddenly turn back to look at him. When his crimson red eyes landed on his, his entire body shuddered,

"Clean this up"

Michael gave a simple order before walking back to his throne. On his way to the throne, he could see the fear in Vibius's eyes. By the look in their eyes, his tactics worked. For them, the wife's gonna end up as shark food but in reality, Maxine would drop Decimus, his child, and the wife in a faraway kingdom from Gisel with enough gold coins to start a new life with a warning from Lucifer.

Of course, Decimus would be placed under surveillance. Nonetheless, he would never be able to step on Gisel ever again or show his face.
