Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 558: The Boss Says Good Idea

Flashy loved Harlia.

Harlia also showed something to Flashy. A hope that she might love him back.

But now she was dead.

Flashy had come to Crucible with a smile but now that smile was nowhere to be seen.

His face lost all its expressions and feelings as Flashy asked only one thing to Pablo.

How?

He asked how Harlia died and Pablo answered honestly.

He pointed his finger at Malvador and Flashy followed the finger of his Boss.

He turned around and he finally saw Malvador after coming to the Crucible.

Malvador also looked at Flashy and the Vampire king had no idea what to make of the man.

He was missing an eyebrow and because of that, he couldn't take the man seriously at all. No matter how angry he was.

Malvador averted his eyes from Flashy and looked at Pablo.

"He is missing an eyebrow. And how were you able to make so many friends?"

Pablo sighed. "No comments. Flashy, look here."

Flashy did that.

Pablo locked eyes with the man.

"I know you are angry. But before doing something, you should know one thing about him."

Flashy gave a slow nod. Pablo returned it and told about Malvador to Flashy:

"The clock on his chest, it is like a time bomb. It has tons of explosives inside it. His heart is slowing down. He is dying. And when he dies, the explosion will take place and everything will turn to cinders. What I am saying is, be careful with your anger.

If you manage to kill him, somehow, then the explosion will happen. If you don't kill him, then he is going to die anyway, so the explosion will happen even then. But if we control ourselves and not kill him before he kills himself, and think of a way, then we might be able to stop the explosion before his heart stops."

Pablo finished explaining and Flashy turned around.

He faced Malvador again and the Vampire king had a smile on his face.

Flashy gritted his teeth seeing that smile.

"What should we do then, Boss?" He asked.

"I asked the soldiers to leave this place but they refused. I am thinking of a way to make sure nothing happens but I am not sure if any magic could stop the harm the explosion would do. I will stay alive but the world might be destroyed."

Flashy nodded. "So it's the clock, I guess?"

"Yeah. I also thought of taking it out but I didn't want to take the risk. What if I took it out and it exploded right there and then. Also, how could I take it out without him noticing. If he saw someone taking out the clock, he would do something to make sure we suffer."

"Since when did you start worrying about the risks, Boss?"

Pablo's lips quivered. "Look, I understand you are angry and sad, but you are not looking cool right now. If you have something meaningful to add, speak. No need to say dialogues. And what about your mission? Did you find your mother or not?"

"Yeah. I found her. The whole Hollow kingdom was empty. No one was there to empty the carriages filled with Humans. We reached there, found my unconscious mom, took her, then we went back to Forza, made her rest in dad's mansion and then, with dad, I jumped from my house directly to reach here."

"Hmm. Those carriages were filled with the criminals, what did you do to them? They all were unconscious but when they would get up, they would start their crimes again."

"I know. That's why me and dad killed all of them. Only my mom was left alive and now she is safe. But her daughter in law died."

Pablo rolled his eyes. "Did you not hear any words I said?"

"Yeah. I heard you, Boss. That's why I will make sure nothing happens and I get my revenge on him."

"How will you do that?"

Flashy didn't reply but he surely stretched his right hand at Malvador.

He was standing far from Malvador and Malvador didn't know what the man wanted to do.

Flashy's hand remained outstretched and the next second, from his palm, a black substance came out.

It shot towards the heart of Malvador.

The Vampire king understood what Flashy's aim was, so he raised Gemini.

He let the symbiote come closer and when it was just about to reach the clock, Malvador brought down Gemini on the symbiote.

But he didn't account for what happened after that.

Gemini touched the symbiote, it had come down with full strength but just when it came into the contact of the symbiote, it wasn't able to cut it all.

Malvador felt he swung Gemini at water. Nothing happened.

The black symbiote simply endured the blow and reached the red clock.

Pablo and everyone else widened their eyes as the next second, Flashy's symbiote held the red clock.

And after holding it, Flashy willed for the symbiote to come back to him and in front of everyone's eyes, Flashy did it.

Flashy now held the time bomb in his hands.

No one spoke anything and Flashy turned to Pablo with the clock.

Pablo chuckled and shook his head.

"Good work."

Flashy nodded. "Thank you. I believe since it's a time bomb it will only blow when the time is up."

"It could be true."

Pablo held the clock in his hands and looked at one of the Angels.

He picked one at random and called him towards him.

The Angel came.

Pablo handed the clock to the Angel. "Go back to the Gods and give them this. They will do something about this."

The Angel nodded and began flying. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But…

"Wait!" Flashy shouted.

The Angel stopped.

Flashy was Pablo's friend so the Angel obliged Flashy as well.

"What?" Pablo asked.

Flashy replied, "Why are you sending the clock back? Make this white guy take this clock to Jasper kingdom. The kingdom of the Vampires. Let's wipe that whole kingdom off."

Pablo smiled.

"Good idea."
