Chapter 22

************************************

All of them were now in the hospital.

Ray was inside looking at his sister, Ria, who was sleeping without realizing that she had lost her dominant right hand.

Tears were dripping down from his eyes as he saw her.

Beside her was another bed with machines working and a lady sleeping and has no sign of waking up. It was Ray's mother, Andrea.

Andrew, Claire, and Mike were all outside the room.

"Were you not able to recover her hand?" Andrew questioned.

"No, Mr. Andrew, the problem was Ms. Ria's hand was completely destroyed due to the accident. Even if we attach the pieces of her hand and do surgery there will be no response from her hand. We have preserved her hand and will continue to do so." The Chief doctor replied with a sigh.

"Is there any other way for us to do something?"

"There is a possibility in the future, I don't know if you have heard about Dr. Helen Cho, she is now studying on regrowing tissues and her progress in the field is going outstandingly great that we are expecting her to complete it with 3 to 5 years, then we will be able to use the technology that she develops to go for an operation. But we have to run tests, human tests as well to know results."

'Hmm, she comes in Age of Ultron, maybe I can fund her research and provide tools that she is not able to get and speed up the process. Another candidate I can take in for ATLAS.' Andrew thought.

"If it is possible, can you arrange a meeting for me with her, even if it is just a call? I would like to talk to her."

"I will be glad to do it, Mr. Andrew. She will be delighted to know someone of your stature is wanting to know of her and her work."

"Thank you, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you, doctor."

"It's a pleasure, Mr. Andrew." The Chief doctor took his leave.

Andrew got back to Claire and Mike and told them about what he had just talked about with the Chief Doctor.

"That's great, bro, we will tell Ray about this when he comes out,"

"Yes, this is a great piece of news, I never knew someone was working on this, let me know as well how the talk goes with her. I will ask my father to fund her research. The faster she completes the better," Claire said.

As they were talking, Gerald entered the floor through the elevator.

Andrew who saw this excused himself and went to him.

"We have their locations," Gerald said.

Andrew nodded and turned to Claire and Mike who were 2 meters away from them.

"Guys, I will be back soon, let Ray know about it when he comes out. I have something that I have to do and will be back as soon as possible."

"We will be here, come as fast as possible," Mike said. Claire knew what he was going to do and acknowledged him.

Andrew was now in the parking lot of the Hospital.

He entered the car and quickly went to the time chamber and brought his Dark King Outfit and wore it within seconds.

Once he did that he got out of the car.

"Leave to our house, Zestia will drive the car, navigate me to where they are," Andrew said as he said to Gerald.

He then disappeared using Soru.

Only a blur could be seen as Andrew was gone.

Gerald quickly got into the car and took out his laptop and started to go through where the Bounty Hunters are.

'2 of them is together and the other two in different locations. One is in the airport ready to depart. It's best to go after the lone one and then to the 2 and lastly the one in the airport. The flight will be leaving in 2 hours because of a problem.' Gerald saw and started to form a plan in his mind.

"Zestia, delay the flight to 2 hours," Gerald uttered.

"Yes, sir."

"Andrew, two of them are together, one is in a hotel and the last one in the airport. We have delayed the flight of the one in the airport. First, go to the Langham Hotel on 5th Avenue, he is in Room XXX."

Andrew who was now in the sky using Geppo and turned to his right to get to the Langham Hotel.

It was dark outside as the time was now 9:30 PM.

Andrew headed there as fast as he could and soon reached Langham Hotel.

"Get down 20 meters and glide to the right and the 4th window will be where he is." Andrew heard Gerald's voice and did as he said.

Andrew used his Observation Haki to sense what is going on and could see the guy having his time of life inside.

Andrew then used his Conqueror's Haki to cover the entire room and made the women collapse and the Bounty Hunter to feel the pressure as he opened the window and entered it.

The Bounty Hunter who heard the window open was scared shitless.

Though he has seen many things in the world he did expect not someone to enter through the window as there was no way anyone could do it unless the one who did it could fly.

He saw a man in a dark suit enter. He had a skeleton mask, that followed with a dark sun and in the center of it is a skeleton face, he could feel that his knife won't even penetrate any part of his body, his cloak that was fluttering calm down, it was slowly moving as he was walking towards him. He saw a sword attached to his waist as well.

"Mr. Ivan, got yourself a bounty today."

Ivan who was now on the ground heard the mechanical cold voice, he understood that he is going to die today. He could feel the wrath behind the cold voice and knew his end won't be a peaceful one.

"I ca… can he… help you," Ivan said with a hoarse voice hoping he could live.

Andrew was now towering over Ivan who was on the ground kneeling.

Andrew placed his foot on Ivan's shoulder and straightened him, Andrew looked at Ivan's face and said, "You touched someone you shouldn't have."

"I am… not… the only one"

"I know, they will follow you as well"

Andrew held Ivan's neck in his hands and jumped out of the window and used Geppo and Soru to go to the sky.

He created a flame in his hands and made it melt his stomach as it entered inside. The screams of Ivan echoed the sky as many on the top floors of buildings could vaguely hear something. They all brushed it aside.

The flames burnt each of his organs and whenever Ivan fainted, Andrew used his Armament Haki to wake him up.

Andrew was holding him in his hands as he was moving to the next location.

He did not stop torturing Ivan and soon he died. Andrew burnt him off.

The next location was a resort. These two were partners or more precisely couples.

Logan and Rebecca.

And the only thought he had right now was to make them feel the same pain Ray is feeling.

"Their Room number is XXX. There are additionally 3 more of them inside."

Andrew used his Observation Haki to cover 5 rooms in total including the room where Logan and Rebecca stayed.

He then sent out a few bug cameras to their room to listen to their conversation.

Zestia controlled the cameras as they flew inside their room and settled in places they can't see.

Soon Andrew and Gerald could hear their conversation.

"Where's the wedding taking place?" asked a woman with a kind voice when she was a cold-blooded killer, who will kill anyone for money including her father.

"Well, we are planning to keep it small and best to invite only a few. Our line of work does not allow us to have time, as we have to keep traveling," said Rebecca.

"Logan, I still can't believe you guys would go after a mother and daughter, I still remember what you use to say and now here you are breaking your code," said a man who was on the sofa. He had red and brown hair in a mohawk style.

"The pay was good and this will allow us to have a great honeymoon and we will be able to live for a few years without doing anything," replied Logan as he was staring daggers at the mohawk guy.

"You two, keep your rivalry fights somewhere else," said a middle-aged man who was wearing a tuxedo. He continued, "We still have to complete our mission. Though we got the money for the lady and the girl, the father and the son have more on the bounty and it's best to take them out completely."

"Where's David and Ivan?" questioned Rebecca.

"I have sent David on a flight, he failed in taking the headshot. He should be in the air right about now. Ivan must be goofing around with some women. Call him."

Andrew and Gerald who was eavesdropping could see that all of them were a team.

"Gerald, Zestia, find out who they are, and since they are a team, they should have gone through more missions together," Andrew uttered in a cold tone.

Gerald heard Andrew's cold voice which brought a shiver to him. He was afraid of how this is affecting Andrew.

"Andrew, there is no use in torturing them, we are not going to get any information from them," Gerald said.

"You are feeling that I am relishing in this feeling, no Gerald, I am not. I am doing this because it is necessary." Gerald sighed hearing that as there was truth in his words.

'I can't blame him. Even I myself have done this, not once or twice, I have done this a lot,' thought Gerald as looked at the screen.

The screen in the base changed showing their information. Gerald who saw that could not help but break the cup he had in his hands.

What he saw made him want to go there and kill them all with his hands.

The other three who were with them were much worse.

The lady killed her own family, and she started to take bounties of those who had families. She kills the entire family of the one before killing her target. The Tuxedo guy is a cannibal who eats all his targets, he also has a bounty on him and not many bothers taking him on as he has a team and for some reason, they all follow him. The ones who tried to kill him had all died. The final one rapes his victims to death and burns their bodies be they male or female.

"What happened?"

"Don't kill them fast, they should feel pain as they pass away."

'He told me to kill them as fast as possible in the beginning and I let him know why I am doing this. But now for him to say something like this means that the ones I am going to kill are the worst of the Humans.' Andrew thought as his anger rose as he thought what these people could have done. But when Gerald explained, Andrew had one thought that is to kill them in the worse way possible.

"Zestia, empty their Bank Accounts, if they have properties, scan their fingerprints and using the digital copy transfer them to unknown sources. And don't block the messages they will receive. I want them to see them lose everything. I want them to feel despair."

Zestia began the process and Gerald was seeing everything. He also started to input some commands that made the current in the area around the resort that Andrew was in go down one by one.

He then saw Andrew hovering above the resort as the current was going off everywhere.

He started descending and he could also see the 5 Bounty Hunters phone goes off at the same time. They all go silent in the room and each of them looked at each other.

This was not a coincidence. When they all saw their phones, they had horror as they saw that their bank account showing 0 and few who had properties were all transferred.

Without saying anything they all looked at each other and they knew, "They were being hunted".
