48 Killing and Satisfaction

In an abandoned area within the fringe of Imperial City, a dilapidated hut made of woods that seemed to collapse anytime soon. It looked so old and the woods was already brittle that it would fell apart once it was touched. The roof was full of holes, even half of them had already broken and the debris of it was scattered on the ground.The old hut was definitely like a place in horror movies as some wild plants grew uncontrollably in the surrounding area. There was a gate in the entrance to the hut where some vines twisted around to every space of the gate making it looked like an entrance to a house that horror movie would show.

The vicinity of the hut was desolate and eerie that it made everyone who passed through road by the hut wanted to go away as fast as possible from the place.

It should be a place that everyone would not go, but, a striking red Porsche suddenly stopped on the other side of the road.

It was already night and the surrounding area was pitch black as the street lamps installed were broken. With the sound like howl from the animals in the forest on the other side of the road, everyone would cower and preferred to go. Yet, a man's figure got down from the car.

The figure walked slowly to the gate as he pushed something hidden behind the vines. Not long after, the gate suddenly opened and the figure walked over to the hut.

He knocked the door of it with three knocks. After that, he hold the door handle as he heard a click sound. It turned out, the door was unlocked from the inside.

The moment he went into the hut, he went to the right corner of the hut as he stepped one of his foot onto an inconspicuous black tile. After he did that, a sound of something shifted coming from the tile he had just stepped on were heard. An entrance to the underground chamber gradually appeared before his eyes. He stepped down from the stairs slowly.

He passed through a dimly lit hallway until he stopped in front of a room right in the end of the hallway. He just went in when a mischievous voice called him. "Ahahaha. This is our [Designer] who is almost caught by the police."

The man stopped from waking as he turned his head to look at the one who had just mocked him. "I heard police will use their trump card [White]. So, be prepared [hacker]. Do not be a disgrace like five years ago."

"Really? Where did gou hear it from? Your spy? Humph...without you saying so, i'll not be defeated for the second time." The one called [hacker] changed his expression instantly after he heard the information from [Designer] as he harrumphed coldly at him. The defeat he experienced five years ago was like a bitter pill to him. He was a godlike figure in the virtual world yet, the appereance of [White] forced him to stepped down from his lofty throne. His believers who praised him turned to be his haters after his defeat. He became an object of ridicule in the virtual world starting on that day. He was like a might figure in the heaven that instantly slumped to the hell after an unexpected misfortune fell upon him.

[Hacker] stared at the [Designer] coldly after his gaze wandered around. He gritted his teeth to contain his anger as he saw everyone smirked in amusement. He must triumph over [White] so the shame from that disgrace defeat five years ago would be washed away.

The [Hacker] identity was [Emperor_Monkey]. The defeat five years ago made him wanted to catch [White] and torture him before sending him to the death gate personally. Unfortunately, he couldn't trace [White] after years of hard work because the other party was good at hiding his trace. So, it was like he played mouse and cat with [White] where he was the cat and [White] was the mouse that he wanted to catch.

[Designer] didn't care with the menacing look that [hacker] gave him. He just sat down on one of the empty chairs that circled a round table. From ten chairs, there was only three vacant. He asked as he pour the wine to his glass. "How about [Lawyer], [Butcher] and [Doctor]? Where are they?"

A man in black suit push his index finger to the glasses frame on his nose bridge. He was reading a book as he replied without raising his head. "They have something to do."

"Oh..." [Designer] swirled his glass and drank the wine in one gulp. He commented, "It taste quiet good. What is it [Sommelier]?"

The man who was reading the book closed his book. He answered succinctly, "Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1951."

"Well, bring this more. I like it." [Designer] asked [Sommelier]. His tone was like a king ordering his subject for a certain thing.

[Sommelier] glared at him in dissatisfaction.

[Designer] was about to speak when [Hacker] said mockingly. "[Designer], just don't go anywhere this period of time. Police will catch you."

[Designer] raised his eyebrow in amusement. "Really?"

"Yeah. I'm sure. The police will definitely catch you. They had already got your DNA."

[Designer] smirked evilly. "Well, i deliberately left that DNA. Moreover, it's not mine."

[Hacker] mind was bright. So, the moment he heard the answer, his mind began filling the blank. "You left them on purpose as a ploy? The DNA left will lead the police to the direction you want? You are so devious [Designer]. Who's DNA that you use?

[Designer] smiled when he heard [Hacker]'s sentence. "If i'm devious, then how about you [Hacker]? You killed people from miles away for your satisfaction." He paused then continued, "It belongs to someone you know."

[Hacker] thought about that someone when he realized who actually he was. He rubbed his chin as he randomly said, "Hmmm... Killing is exciting right?" [Hacker] eyes sparkled as he thought about killing someone. He looked at the others in the room. They nodded as they agree with [Hacker] statement. Killing people was indeed interesting and was a satisfying thing. To them, killing brought them endless satisfaction they had never felt from many things they had tried.
