Chapter 64 Commissioned

The worst part about being coated in the blood of your enemies is how sticky it gets. Especially when your shoes have waded through enough blood that each step sent a small jet of dark red fluids, and you can feel the blood welling up between your toes.

"Vandar Adg of the Blood Tribe... For someone incapable of even dying, your insane hide-and-seek game makes me doubt your supposed immortality." I joked coldly as I walked into Queen Bee's little bunker that was beneath her palace and the best part was how I knew with certainty that League wouldn't come here even if the news of my attack on the palace as the nation of Bialya wasn't on the UN Charter and refused to allow League interference within the land.

With the queen of the land being a sadistic mind controller it made sense that she wouldn't want the League poking around her lands.

"Lorde let's just talk! I have gold women and tech from Ot Ghurk!" I silenced Queen Bee by controlling all the air in the room and kept her in an almost complete vacuum so as she began clawing at her throat at being unable to breathe while I simply maintained my staring contest with Vandal Savage.

"I haven't been called such a name in a very long time. I don't like it either." Vandal Savage admittedly wryly shrugging literally not giving a damn about Queen Bee on the ground rolling around in agony as she couldn't even get a breath. This method was done also to protect myself against her pheromones.

"I wonder how the Old Gods like the Greeks and the Celestial Bureaucracy would react if they knew you had been bringing in Apokolips and been the Tyrant God's bitch toy like you made Klarion," I said as I cut off the little weak vacuum trick as I saw Queen Bee had passed out and was no longer struggling.

'I doubted the people behind the screens would give me their locations so maybe I could extract the information from Queen Bee?' I thought as I contemplated dangling her over an active volcano to get the information I needed as it would only be a quick little Garganta away... Not at all inconvenient really.

"Hmm? Me denying your claims makes no difference but, in the end, even Darkseid has his weaknesses. But either way... Jake Barriss what do you want in order for you to stop hunting the Light members before you." Vandal Savage spoke, and I heard Deathstroke snort.

Interesting how he didn't react at all to the threat of me running to tattle on him to the old gods.

"I don't need your protection, Savage. If anything, I relish the challenge. So, you hear that kid, I am coming to cut you down. And I will hit you when you least expect it." Deathstroke threatened me before he literally took out a Desert Eagle and shot his computer cutting off his feed.

For a moment there was silence in the room as I looked back to Vandal Savage before I smiled with my white teeth standing out upon the visage of my blood-splattered face. "You have nothing I want Savage. I want you dead most of all, as the rest of these people can be dealt with by the League and their egos won't allow them to work together for long. But you?" I spoke as I used my hair extension ability to drag Queen Bee across the floor and next to me.

"You have too much ambition, drive, and worst of all patience. I don't have the patience to wait for you to slip up a couple of centuries down the line. I am going kill every single villain and problem maker until you just fall into my lap as only then... Will I stop my crusade?" I then bent over and grabbed Queen Bee's silk shift-like cape thing.

As I said that I saw Luthor's eyes widen as he came to his own realization of my declaration and then he coughed. "Well, I can see this meeting is over, I will be taking my leave." Then the video call from him cut out as he disconnected.

With only Vandal Savage remaining in the call, I realized that just shit-talking with the man would only let him get to me mentally as he was literally some tens of thousands of years old.

"Clean your neck for me Vandar as unlike Klarion you won't survive my wrath," I said sending a weak Bala into Queen Bee's large computer system cutting off my side of the call and for a moment I considered just snapping Queen Bee's neck and leaving her corpse here but...

"It's worth a try to get some information," I muttered grudgingly as I dragged the still-unconscious woman into a Garganta and out of the nation of Bialya.

-

Rather than going to an active volcano to interrogate Queen Bee, I instead noticed her rather short-cut dress at both the top and bottom which exposed much of her curves that well... A desert queen won't be all that great with the cold, so I used my Garganta to land on the coast of Antarctica less than fifty meters from a massive colony of large penguins.

"Wake up woman!" I said as I pulled my own blood-encrusted clothes tighter against me as the frigid Antarctic winds pulled out at the warmth in my body.

"Ahhh!" Queen Bee screamed her body violently coming back online after the equivalent of being thrown into an ice bath after falling asleep and the once proud desert queen rolled up into a ball as her little silk clothes did absolutely jack all to protect her from the negative degree winds, but her body instinctively tried to keep her warmth contained.

"You alright there in the head or did I burn out the light bulb in your noggin when I choked you out like a bitch?" I asked curiously as I kicked her from the rolled-over position and onto her back I took her in and was curious if she was a vegetable.

"What difference does it make you monster!" She snarled lowly as she attempted to get onto her knees, and I noticed she wasn't even wearing shoes...

"Well, if you were already braindead, I was going to sell your body to some cheap little brothel in the worst parts of Jamacia and let the gangs use you for whatever they want... But seeing as you still have some spunk lets squeeze that out before I bother asking some questions." I said finally feeling her supposed pheromones trying to control me but honestly it was like she was a scented candle or something.

'Smelled good and all but nothing I would devote myself to.' I thought as I dragged the now awake and struggling Queen Bee through the ice and snow towards the coastal waters of Antarctica.

"You ever go swimming in the ocean before?" I asked conversationally and I felt Queen Bee just go slack in my grasp and become deadweight as she stopped struggling.

"Well go ahead do what you will to me." She said defiantly as she lay spread-eagled on the snow obviously not going to resist me but was just going to be obstinate till the end.

"Do you know where Savage is?" I asked after a moment of realizing that torturing her deliberately for no real reason when she could very well not have any info, I wanted would only weigh on my conscience.

Queen Bee froze for a moment but then she wore a wry smile as she seemingly accepted her fate. "No, only Klarion knows where all the new magical hidden bunkers are... And no matter what you do to me my answer won't change." If anything, my immediate nod in agreement made her dark skin pale as she realized she had no value to me now.

"Don't worry I believe you. Just don't be an evil cunt in the next life." I spoke and thus the life of Queen Bee ended with a quick twist and jerk upwards of her neck that made her body twitch several times as I turned to look at the large colony of what looked like Emperor Penguins in the distance.

"I wonder if penguins will eat human flesh?" I mused kind of darkly before I shook my head and cringed as the dried and frozen blood on me from fighting through Queen Bee's castle audibly broke apart.

"Time to get back home and cleaned up and spend time with the girls," I muttered as I stepped into a Garganta leaving Queen Bee's corpse to eventually be discovered and devoured by a hungry old polar bear who was just so happy to find such an easy meal.
