Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 214: That Feeling
The Woman had thought Pablo would break her chains but Pablo broke her expectations.
He choked the Woman and peered deep inside her eyes.
"How about you look in my eyes instead?"
"Im..Impossible. How? Why aren’t you under my control?" The Woman screamed for answers.
Boulder also stopped coming towards Pablo. Things were under control.
Pablo stared at the Woman and seeing her miserable face, he smiled.
"Not even Gods managed to make me their slave. Much less a naked woman on death’s door."
"You bastard. How did you do this? It isn’t possible. How?" The Woman barked.
"Boulder," Pablo called. "Prepare a good amount of acid, drugs and too many ugly and dirty men. They should be stinking and they should be the ugliest of them all. And give me a cloth."
Pablo ordered the high duke and Boulder sensed the urgency in Pablo’s voice so he didn’t question anything.
He first gave his handkerchief to Pablo and took out a Receiver from his bracelet and went to the back of the room.
Pablo still had the Woman’s neck on her hand and he caught Boulder’s handkerchief with his left hand.
He held it and shoved it inside the Woman’s mouth.
"Now you won’t be able to bite your tongue." He said, leaving the neck of the Woman.
The Woman screamed. No words came out because of the white cloth but Pablo knew what she was asking.
"You want to know why I am not your slave even after drinking your royal blood, right?"
The Woman nodded.
"That’s because I am built different, bitch."
Pablo gave an answer and the Woman was left with confusion.
And even Pablo knew that his answer was bullshit. He also had no clue why he wasn’t a slave to the Woman.
He wanted to know the answer to that and only one person could answer it for him.
’Do you know something?’ He asked Cupid.
’Yes. I even knew it when you were drinking her blood inside the mist.’
’You knew if I drank her blood I would become her slave? Why didn’t you stop me?’
’Like you would have stopped if I told you to. You were rageful that day. You were even ready to fight Jamal.’ Cupid explained her reason.
’Fair enough. Then why am I not her slave?’ That was Pablo’s initial question.
’Because she didn’t give you her blood willingly. You stabbed her so much that she was not in her sense and you forcefully drank her blood.
Just like after how you acknowledged those ten slaves, the royal Vampires should also acknowledge the one drinking their blood. Which she didn’t get time to do and hence, you are not her slave and you got some vampiric strength. Your impulse helped you.’
Cupid shared the reason for Pablo’s free will and Pablo nodded.
’Nice. Sera’s luck was also active at that time. So that’s why nothing bad happened. I really need to find her.’
’Heh. So you admit that you care for her.’
’I won’t find anyone else like that. She is my twelfth slave.’
’Twelfth? You only have ten slaves.’
’I have ten official slaves and two unofficial ones. Flashy and Sera.’
’Whatever. And I wanted to ask you one thing.’ Cupid said.
’Shoot.’ Pablo would hear it.
’When you entered the Forsaken Village you asked Andre his thoughts about the village. And Andre said that the place didn’t even look like a village. And after that, you ordered all your soldiers to retreat. Why? You wanted to catch the culprit behind the trap so why did you order to retreat after hearing Andre’s views?’
’Isn’t that obvious? Andre said the place didn’t even look like a village. And which means that the whole place was false. And someone who could create such a big false place can surely kill a large number of people. That’s why I ordered a retreat. I am not fond of dying.’
’Oh. So this Woman created that false village. It wasn’t the real Forsaken Village. And it’s amazing you defeated a Woman that strong.’
’No. I am sure she isn’t the one who created the village. She is most likely a pawn. A royal Vampire pawn.’
’Ahngh. I don’t know. Just make this woman speak.’ Cupid’s brain would emit smoke if she used it too deep.
Pablo just shrugged.
’I don’t need to make her speak, Angel. I am just messing around for Boulder to see that I am trying.’
"What?" Cupid exclaimed. And she did that out loud. Andrezj heard her this time.
"What is it?" He asked.
Pablo shook his head.
’Tell him to just watch. And do Vampires have Ego?’
’Yes. Everyone has it except Demons, Angels and Gods.’ Cupid gave the answer and that was all Pablo needed to know.
Boulder was still in the corner of the room and Pablo used this chance to do his work.
He held the Woman’s left hand and came beside her ear.
"You know, I don’t even need to torment you to take information from you. You are nothing to me."
The Woman let out some muffled screams. Pablo hadn’t even done anything and yet the Woman was already screaming.
Pablo didn’t mind her screams and finally began the task.
He moved back from the Woman’s ear and he was still holding her left hand.
’Use both.’ Pablo said.
And Pablo only talks like that with only one thing. His System.
[ Empathic Echo In Use! ]
Pablo used his first Ego and he felt a lot of things at once.
His body turned hotter. His blood ran fast. His heart beat faster.
’She is feeling too many emotions right now towards me.’

’Like?’ Cupid asked.
’She is angry. She is confused. She is annoyed. She is also hungry. She is also feeling lust, probably for my blood as she hasn’t gotten any blood for one week. But she is very confused.’
’You not turning into her slave must have been a shock. No wonder she is confused.’
’Yeah. But most of all, apart from all those emotions, she is feeling one emotion the most. And I sure as hell like it.’
’Of course. Are you talking about that?’ Cupid asked.
’Yes. This woman, right now, is finally feeling…’
Pablo again landed his eyes on the Woman’s eyes and that made the Woman stop her struggle. Because right now, Pablo’s eyes only bestowed her one thing…
’Fear.’
