"Why me?" Draco asked.
"Because you're the only person who can counter my blessing. Your ability removes all blessings and powers from an person for a single hour. Meaning, if you had used your ability on me instead of Elvis, you could have defeated me quite easily since my speed and strength also come from one of my blessings," Devenier explained while whispering in his ear.
"If you remove my blessings while everyone in the Undead Crow jumps me then we all know how that will go," Devenier said in a slightly sad way. "So, what's it going to be?"
"Sure," Draco replied. "But how do you know that I won't betray you?"
"Well...I could create a blessing that brainwashes you but...what would be the fun in that? I'll just trust you since I'll never know when you will betray me," Devenier whispered in such a way that it was almost as if he was temping Draco to betray him. "It'll be more fun that way."
"I see," Draco said. "You'll be useful to me too."
Devenier smirked. "You can use me any way you like. Of course, I mean in fighting."
-------------------------
Meanwhile, Kael and Alex had reached Santiago's warehouse. Though, they weren't able to enter it, just yet because of the amount of security, every corner had at least fifty guards armed with assault rifles.
Not only that but there were probably even more inside and that wasn't even counting all of the drug dealers and crack heads. "Two hundred guards and probably a thousand drug dealers and crack heads," Alex calculated in his head, his eyes narrowing. "Interesting."
Before they could infiltrate the warehouse, a few dozen trucks entered the large parking lot and stopped, causing a few men to rush over and open all of the doors in the back of the trucks, revealing hundreds, no, thousands of pounds of cocaine...in each truck.
Both Alex and Kael's eyes widened. In fact, Kael was even questioning what he saw. "How much is that all?" Kael asked in a whispering voice.
"Millions...no, possibly even a billion," Alex said, a slight hint of surprise in his voice. Though, his shocked face quickly faded, replaced with a cold, professional and serious look. "Anyway, that isn't what we came for. We are here to kidnap Santiago."
"And how the hell do we do that?!" Kael said. "Look at the amount of guards. It'll be a miracle if we even reach him without getting spotted."
"Well...who said anything about doing it secretly?" Alex said with a slight smirk. "I'll handle all of the guards and anyone who comes at my way. You deal with Santiago."
"Me?! What if he has some crazy ability or something?" Kael said.
Alex scoffed. "What? You scared?"
As soon as Kael heard that, he instantly got up from the bushes and cracked his knuckles. "Deal with the guards, I'll take care of Santiago or whatever his name was. And after that, I'll make sure to teach you a lesson too, fuckin' bastard."
"I am looking forward to it," Alex said, before disappearing and attacking one of the guards, launching into the air with an uppercut and slashing a few more after unsheathing his sword. Within seconds, he had already killed several people and he soon gestured Kael to the entrance.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Carlos said, one of the four personal guards, who had a crowbar in his hand. "Don't you know whose territory this is?"
"I am well aware," Alex replied, cutting Carlos into tiny pieces in a blink of an eye. Though, in the very next moment, the tiny pieces gathered in one place and slowly reconstructed Carlos, reviving him in the process.
"You damn bastard. You're underestimating me, aren't you? My ability allows me prevents me from dying to slashes or any sort of weapon attack. Why? Because I am one of the-" before Carlos could finish his sentence, Alex appeared in front of him and slammed him into the ground, causing his skull to break and probably killing him.
"Thanks for letting me know," Alex said, shifting his attention to the other guards.
And while Alex was handling all of the guards, Kael entered the warehouse with no one there except Santiago, who was enjoying the crack cocaine. "Wooo! god damn! Now that's the fuckin' stuff, man!"
Kael cautiously approached him and asked directly without too much fear, "are you Santiago?"
Santiago glanced at him and started to laugh suddenly but then suddenly yelled. "YES, I FUCKIN' AM! I AM DA KING OF DRUGS, I AM SANTIAGO! WHATCHU WANT, HUH?!"
Kael slightly flinched at the sudden behavior change. He didn't reply, he simply sprinted towards Santiago like a rocket, clearly much faster than before, and launched Santiago into the boxes, causing all of the boxes that were stacked on top of each other to fall directly on Santiago's face.
However, instead of getting angry, Santiago simply smiled, revealing his shiny, diamond teeth. "Wow...wow man! You da real deal! But I am da bigger real deal, you gettin' what I'm sayin'?!"
"You da fuckin' real deal!" Santiago said, standing up and slowly approaching Kael, causing Kael to attack Santiago once again, though, this time Santiago punched Kael right in the stomach, causing Kael to be launched onto the roof of the warehouse and vomit blood.
"What the hell is this strength?! How did I vomit blood from a single punch!" Kael said, who looked slightly traumatized. Though, before he could recover, Santiago took out his assault rifle and started firing everywhere, putting holes into everything in his way. "WOO! BANG! BANG! BANG!!" Santiago yelled, laughing and screaming at the same time.
"Tch, I need to come up with a plan to defeat this guy..." Kael thought, taking cover behind a mountain of boxes. "I think I know what to do."
