2 Chapter 2: Death and Rebirth (2)

At the same time, when people shed blood and died one after another. On the top floor of the mansion, the man reading the manga finally closed it and put out his cigarette, and then immediately lit another one.

* Pff *

Breathing out the smoke, he chuckled.

- Damn, how noisy they are, - getting up, the man went to the window and looked at the heavy firefight with a cold face. The guardians of the house died one after another, but continued to stubbornly defend themselves.

"As expected, the Syndicate also joined." - Looking at the attackers, the man grinned wryly: - They even took the masks. Nevertheless, he decided to continue leaking information about us ... Although, the gas was just a temporary measure. We can't stand it anyway ...

*Knock-Knock!*

At that moment there was a loud knock on the door, after which a tall, dark-skinned man rushed into the room. His height was more than two meters, and he was about the width of a wardrobe, a real giant. The man wore the same tuxedo as all the guards. Entering the office, he wiped his sweaty forehead and said nervously:

- Boss! Everything is worse than we thought, the Syndicate is with them, and the eastern factions too. We wouldn't have held out so, but now. I'm afraid we won't last an hour. Plus, they seem to know a lot about us ...

Standing at the window, the man waved his hand:

- "It doesn't matter, I can see it without you," exhaling smoke, the blond turned around, and then walked a few meters and stood in front of the tall guard.

Noticing his boss' strange look, the guard flinched slightly. He immediately sensed that something was wrong here, so he asked:

- Sir? Something is wrong?

The man ignored his question and asked with a grin:

- Jay, you better tell me what ... Why did you turn us in?

From such an unexpected question, the man abruptly took a step back and on instinct tried to grab the pistol, but was immediately stopped. The blonde opposite was much faster ...

* Shuh! *

A sharp knife instantly cut through the air and plunged into the guard's neck.

- Khhh ... - Reflexively, Jay raised his hands to his neck, but there was too little blood flowing out. The knife pierced the throat, from which all the blood poured inward, making it choke ...

The guard fell to his knees in horror and with trembling hands tore the sharp blade from his throat. Throwing it aside, he immediately began to spray a dark red liquid all over the carpet.

Looking at the dying man in disappointment, the blond only exhaled smoke and sighed:

"Don't worry, I'm not offended. Anyway, we would die today. Betray me or not, but this is the last day of the organization. Really ... - glancing with a sneer at the already pale guy, the blond grinned: - You will die much earlier, like everyone with whom you are connected.

Hearing the man's words, Jay looked up in horror and held out his hand, trying to grab something. But the blond just squatted down and said:

"You know what I do with Jay's traitors ... So you can only blame yourself. If you thought to stab me in the back today, then I have to disappoint you, I have known about your affairs for a long time. Although you and I will not see it, all who betrayed me will pay in blood, and all those who arrived today for the artifact will pay in full. Even if I have to die, it's up to me how it happens. Well, and you ... - looking at the fading gaze of the guard, the blond threw a cigarette into his body and coldly said: - You will die like a traitorous mongrel, choking on your own blood.

Glancing at the rack full of his favorite manga, the blond smiled.

- Even without techniques and different jutsu, I have lived a rich life. There is no decent death, but ... I will definitely die brilliantly!

Walking over to the bar with drinks, the man drained a glass of bourbon and, lighting another cigarette, took out a small box. Opening it with a smile, he grinned recklessly.

It was a small, unremarkable red button. But even though it looked so simple, in fact, one click on it and it will take hundreds of lives.

Without taking his eyes off the small button, the man muttered with a smile:

- Art is an explosion, right? Haha, then let's turn death into art!

Approaching the table, the blond picked up the recently read manga, flipping a few pages at last, he stopped at the last. There, at the very end, was a strange object. It was a white disk, with many red, glowing symbols inscribed on it. He looked definitely unusual, as if he was not from this world ...

Picking up the artifact, the man touched several symbols with a smile.

- It's a pity that I could not solve your secret ... - With a wry smile, the guy put the disc into his pocket and started flipping through the manga again. Seeing several familiar battles, the man smiled and walked to the window.

The shootout continued, very soon the enemies would break into the house, and then it would be difficult to control your fate. In his relatively short life, having experienced grief and sadness, as well as joys and pleasures, he did not regret anything. Now, he was fully prepared to complete his journey ...

With a grin, glancing at the life-full eyes of the attackers, the blond ran his finger along the red button and snarled, grinning:

- Katz!

A bright flash was the last thing he saw before leaving this world ...
