After stopping, Mark looked at the road, which was full of gang members. An idea struck him, but its success rate was low.

  Mark: Listen, I have an idea, but I can't guarantee you'll live or die.

  Chris: Nothing matters, as long as we win.

  Kevin: I hope the plan works.

  Mark: What we’ll do is walk on foot so they don’t notice us, and we’ll eliminate them without anyone noticing.

  Chris: Then leave it to me, I’ve done something like this before.

  Chris walked toward the enemy silently and cautiously. They were talking, and he decided to spy on them before ending their existence.

  Guard 1: I’m tired of watching. He probably won’t come.

  Guard 2: Who do you mean? Black Mask?

  Guard 1: Yes, whoever comes here is probably going to his death. If I were Black Mask, I would withdraw.

  Guard 2: Why, man? Since our leader Raven disappeared, our situation became miserable. Skullhead became our leader and humiliates us while keeping us alive. But the strange thing is, they didn’t find Raven’s body.

  Chris’s thoughts: Impossible! He was hit by a truck and didn’t die, and he fell from the second floor! It seems the threat hasn’t gone. After finishing Skullhead, the next target might be Raven, or he might obstruct us. What is Raven’s goal anyway?

  Guard 1: I don’t know why Raven’s body disappeared. Maybe he’s alive but recovering from an accident that happened to him. Maybe he’s working alone, and we’re now with Skullhead’s army. Maybe it’s better for us.

  Guard 2: Oh, we need to check on our friend. He disappeared we have to find him.

  When they went behind the car, they found their friend on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood

  A bullet hit the guard’s head, and when he turned back, he received another shot to the head and fell.

  Chris: Poor guards, Skullhead.

  Chris got into the car and called Mark.

  Chris: Mark, I’ll take the enemy’s car, and you handle things either follow me or manage yourselves.

  Chris hung up and headed toward the headquarters.

  Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

  Chris was driving at very high speed toward the headquarters, feeling a bad feeling that something would happen.

  Due to his speed, Chris ran over a mine, and in a split second, the car started flipping at high speed and went off the road until it stopped, completely immobile inside and out.

  Mark saw Chris’s car overturned on the road and was about to stop.

  Ace, in a harsh voice: Mark, don’t stop! We don’t have time; time is like gold. You must be strong!

  Mark decided to listen to Ace and continued on the road.

  After half an hour nothing had been heard from Chris, and they tried to call but the phone was completely out of service.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Mark: Well, since we don’t know anything about Chris, why don’t you go alone? I’ll go alone it’s better. While Kevin tries to plant the bomb in the system, Ace will protect Kevin from danger, and I’ll try to attract the enemies’ attention. My target is Devil.

  Ace: Devil? Who is that? He seems like the guardian of the place, right?

  Mark: Correct, he is the guardian of the place, and he is very strong. I can’t describe his strength

  Ace: How strong? Does he have supernatural powers?

  Mark: No, he has weapons in his arms, and generally, Skullhead enhanced his body to be designed for combat. So I’ll go,

  .

  Everyone was about to split, but then Kevin had an idea that changed the balance of the battle.

  Kevin: Stop, I have an idea.

  Everyone stopped and looked at Kevin.

  Kevin: Why don’t we cooperate and try to defeat Devil together? Then we’ll instill fear in the enemies and execute our plan without obstacles.

  Mark was impressed by Kevin’s thinking.

  Mark: Alright, let’s find him directly after taking the elevator to the third floor.

  Ace: We must prepare ourselves for a strong battle, a battle that could change the city, even the world. I wonder what Chris would have done

  if he were here.

  Silence fell among everyone, all with looks of sorrow and worry about Chris.

  Everyone prepared their weapons and took the elevator to the third floor.

  When the elevator doors opened, they saw nothing the area was empty, except for a chair in the middle of the room.

  Everyone was surprised by the chair.

  The chair began to spin until a person appeared and started laughing

  Ace: Who are you, clown?

  Devil: Hello, I’ve been waiting for you. I’m Devil. Pleased to meet you, and today will be your end

  Devil began hysterically laughing and couldn’t stop.

  Devil, with a creepy smile: Look at my outfit, look at the pink pants and the white shirt. Isn’t it beautiful? And look at my hands

  While everyone stared at Devil’s hands, his hand began launching explosives

  Mark jumped on Ace and Kevin.

  Devil: Oh, well done avoiding me Now let the fun begin.

  Ace loaded his machine gun and began firing at Devil.

  Devil started bleeding and suddenly began lowering himself as if preparing something.

  Devil jumped quickly toward Ace, even though he was far, and kicked Ace.

  Devil: Didn’t I tell you? Sorry, my legs are modified to allow me to jump long distances. How do you like it? Isn’t it strong?

  Devil laughed to a degree that could drive one insane.

  Kevin took a bomb from his bag; it was a C4.

  He threw the bomb at Devil, and when it stuck, he pressed the button to detonate it, but!

  The bomb didn’t explode.

  Everyone was shocked and couldn’t speak.

  Devil grabbed the bomb and threw it upward, and then it exploded.

  Mark ran toward Devil and shot at his head, but nothing happened!

  Devil: Mark, if memory doesn’t betray me, you used to work with us, but you betrayed us. I will punish you. Look at what you missed; had you worked with us like you did with them, you would have become like me Look.

  A hook shot out from Devil and grabbed Mark.

  Mark could not move at all.

  Devil: I will burn from under your lower lips.

  Devil placed his left hand under Mark’s lower lips and shot fire from his left hand while laughing.

  Devil, laughing: Ha! Mark, how does it feel? You will have burns if you survive. By the way, I am the one who killed your family, but I am not a monster to get rid of your children. The rest of your children were taken care of, which means I only killed your wife.

  While everyone was terrified and harmed by Devil,

  Kevin took out a gun, and when he was about to fire, Devil pointed his right hand toward Kevin and shot.

  Devil: For your information, the one burning Mark is my left hand, not my right.

  Everyone was shocked. A man came out of the elevator with an electric saw and ran toward Devil. He cut Devil’s hook and then placed the electric saw on Devil’s chest. Devil couldn’t move until the man stopped and stepped back.

  Kevin: Black Mask!

  Everyone stood, and Mark had burns under his lips.

  Devil stood with his chest exposed.

  Devil: So, you are Black Mask. I wanted to fight you, but you defeated me with the electric saw. I did not expect anyone could defeat me.

  Chris (Black Mask): Are you alone here? And why are you still alive with your chest exposed? Who are you?

  Devil: You don’t know who I am? What a bad situation. Seeing me this way, I only need blood for my heart, so I am still alive. I have only a few minutes left, and all I will do is fight you with punches!

  Chris ran toward Devil, and they began fighting with their hands!

  They exchanged blows, but Chris hit Devil’s chest, and his heartbeat stopped.

  Devil fell to the ground after a long battle.

  Three people couldn’t defeat him, and only one person, Black Mask (Chris), did.

  The building was damaged and burned due to Devil’s explosives and powerful jumps, and the roof collapsed to the ground.

  Chris: Alright, Kevin, go to the second floor and destroy all the gang buildings so this disaster ends.

  Kevin: No need to tell me what to do, I’ll go.

  Kevin took the elevator to the second floor to end the disaster.

  Ace: Chris, where did you get the electric saw? And your mask is a bit torn, which means you weren’t affected by the car flip.

  Chris: When I stole the car, there was a saw in the back seat. It seems they were going to use it for bad things, but fortunately, I wasn’t affected by the explosion. Mark, are you okay?

  Mark: Just burns under the lips, and it seems it will become my distinctive mark.

  Mark laughed.

  Kevin called after 15 minutes.

  Kevin: Chris, I finished it. We need to get out of the building and return to our headquarters. Don’t worry, after the explosion, the police will be alerted, and it will be over.

  Everyone went out and got into the car, exhausted.

  Chris: Mark, welcome to my team. It seems your first mission was a good welcome.

  Mark was happy to have joined

  Chris.

  Four hours later, while they were on their way back to headquarters, the city was celebrating in the streets. Companies were celebrating, the police were celebrating, and the day became known as “World Freedom Day.” Families were distributing food to people for free out of happiness. Ace wanted to go celebrate.

  Chris: Ace, did you forget you faked your death to join us?

  Ace: Damn it, I want to celebrate.

  Kevin got out of the car, and everyone was surprised. When Kevin returned, he had ice cream.

  Kevin: Sorry, I can’t miss this treat.

  He began eating the ice cream.

  When they returned to the headquarters, Jota, his gang, and Edward were celebrating, and everyone was happy.

  Meanwhile, in a dark place, there was a silent person amidst these events. Raven had transferred his consciousness to another body, leaving his original body to recover and develop.

  Raven: I will return stronger than before. Remember that, Chris and Skullhead, I will rule the world!
