22 22. Mutant

The night skies of New York city wasn't calm like it used to be. The Costa Family was in a state of frenzy, their much awaited client was killed and that too right were they held a meet.

The current leader of Costa Family, Frank Costa was angered beyond words. He slammed his desk and roared.

"F**k that guy!! F**k ninja!! Eight years he has been on our ass and he still hasn't had enough!?! And what the f**k were you doing!? Huh!?"

His words were followed by complete silence. Several men stood before him, trembling.

His right hand man Jigsaw suddenly voiced out, "Boss, it's too late to get angry over it. Right now we should focus on delivering the cargo."

Frank was incensed, "I know!! F**k!! Jigsaw contact the client, explain what happened and make sure the cargo gets delivered!"

Jigsaw nodded, "Yes, boss!"

Frank sat down and lit up a cigar. He thought for a bit and picked up the phone. After several beeps someone spoke from the other end.

"I have a job for you."

He spoke several words and cut the call. He took a deep breath and blew out a cloud of smoke. An icy chillness flashed past his eyes.

...

New York city port.

Several black cars made an appearance tonight. Men wearing black clothes and armed with guns stood guard at various corners making sure no one slipped past them.

Inside one of these cars was a man with brown hair and pale complexion, he was wearing casual clothes and smoked a cigar.

"When will the cargo arrive?"

Another man answered him, "Another hour or so."

"Geez, should I go for a small snack?"

The other man said seriously, "Be obedient Michael, we can't blatantly make an appearance here."

The man with the pale complexion was dissatisfied, "Che! You are no fun."

A pair of sharingan watched these men coldly. He took out a kunai and jumped off from where he was standing. He made an elegant arch in mid air and landed beside a guard.

Like a reaper he claimed the man's life and merged back into the Shadows. One by one the guards fell down, the vampires sitting inside the black car smelled blood and reacted.

The man with the pale complexion asked with interest, "Heh... who could our visitor be? S.H.E.I.LD? Blade? Or is it someone else? "

The other man said, "Doesn't matter who it is. We can't have anything go wrong at this point, let's go!"

Both vampires got out of the car, they looked at some of the other cars parked beside them and saw their compatriots get out as well.

Suddenly sensing something all of them looked towards the shadow of a building. A man wearing black clothes with a black fox mask walked out. Blood dripped onto the floor from what seemed to be a short dagger.

All of them recognised who this was, they have had confrontations in the past and the end result was complete annihilation.

Even though they knew who he was the vampires still felt their blood seethe with excitement. The Human infront of them smelled delicious, all of their eyes turned red.

The vampire named Michael was the first one to move, he couldn't hold down his excitement.

"Micheal, don't!!"

The man beside him shouted but he was a second late.

Adam had a teasing smile under his mask, right now he was a Jounin and an Inner Gates practitioner. His body was stronger than an elite human being by several folds, so of course he would be a delicacy for these bloodsuckers.

Michael was a hair breath away from Adam when the latter disappeared, he felt a prickling sensation on his neck. As second later his body was set ablaze. Before he could realise what was happening he was turned into ashes.

The other vampires were shocked. For a second they flinched but seeing how many of them were here their fear was pressed down by desire.

All of them rushed towards Adam, their hands turned into claws that could rip off steel like twigs. Adam wasn't daunted instead he smiled even more behind his mask.

Just as one of the vampires reached him he stepped sideways and cut his throat. The vampire couldn't even react and had his head cut off. His head flew up in the air and burned into ashes.

Adam dodged a kick aimed to his head and caught the leg. He used it as a stick and smashed him onto another vampire.

Wind whistled from behind, Adam didn't even look back and ducked. He kicked the vampire into the air and stabbed his kunai deep into another one trying to rip out his heart.

Like a phantom Adam went through dozens of vampires. With each step he took a vampire fell. Soon only one remained, the vampire who spoke to Michael.

The man was scared. From what he saw this masked man wasn't fighting, he was simply taking a stroll through them, killing everyone in his path. He was like a ghost, his movements were impossible to follow, and the darkness seems to be his companion as it cloaked his body.

Adam's eyes spun sinking the vampire before him into an illusion. Soon the vampire spilled out some very interesting information which Adam found as his source of points.

He was lost in thought and suddenly sensed danger. Without hesitation Adam jumped up, a short sword was inserted deeply inside the vampires chest. The vampire was still trapped in Adam's genjutsu.

Adam looked back at the assaulter and dug his kunai into the last vampire and killed him. The vampire was burned to ashes but Adam's gazed was focused on someone else, a man dressed in black clothes.

Confusion flashed in Adam's eyes. He looked at this newcomer and guessed how he was able to get close without him noticing.

The man however suddenly disappeared and got behind Adam. A silver sword was in his hands, the same sword that dug deep into the vampire's chest. Adam ducked the incoming attack to his throat and kicked the man, only to miss him.

Seeing the man suddenly disappear realisation dawned upon Adam. He looked at the man Infront of him and asked.

"A mutant? Interesting ability you have there."

His opponent however was astonished. This was the first time someone dodged him, and the other party wasn't even flustered. He seems like he had everything under control.
