For His Father
Hugo secretly followed the two women who have been the main cause why his father got fired in his previous life.
After extorting $2000 dollars from Hitano earlier, they left and directly went to the mall. Satisfaction was written on their faces, as if they didn't do anything earlier.
"Rebecca, I told you that he has some money! Good thing that Hitano is naïve when it comes to these things." The woman with light brown hair uttered. She smiled very widely as she looked at the $1000 bill in her hand.
"Yeah! Thanks to you, Annie, we have now earned more money. We can buy new bags and clothes with this! We just need to wait for the right time again to extort money from him." Rebecca chuckled.
Annie laughed. She shook her head. 'This is how easy it is to fool poor people like Hitano,' she thought as they went inside a clothing store.
They heard from their boss that Hitano was promoted last few weeks ago and they will just announce it today.
Rebecca had bought a fake ring from an online shop. She asked Hitano if he can hide it for a day. They made it look as if Hitano had purposely lost the ring when the truth was, they secretly took it out of his bag.
And clearly, their plan had worked.
They have been doing this for a year with different people already and Annie was proud to say that they haven't gotten caught yet.
"We should look for a new target now. This money will just be enough for 3 days. I told you that we should have asked for more!" Rebecca rolled her eyes.
"There's still net time. Don't worry." Annie shrugged her shoulders.
"No. There will be no next time." Hugo's voice turned cold. His face wasn't showing any emotions as he stared at Rebecca and Annie, whose faces became pale.
'W-Who are you?" Rebecca stuttered.
"Guess…" Hugo paused for a while. He looked around to see if there were any CCTV cameras in the shop.
When he found nothing, he grinned. "But before that, let's get out, shall we?"
Hugo went near to the two women and grabbed their arms. He closed his eyes and thought of an abandoned building near his father's workplace.
"What are you doin— AHHHH!
A loud laugh came out of Hugo's lips as they already arrived at the abandoned building. The two women's shouts just echoed in the place.
This abandoned building wasn't near any buildings since there were rumors about this place. It was said that this building was used for illegal activities. A fire broke out in this building 10 years ago and those who have been here had said that they have seen some ghosts lurking every night.
He knew that story since he had tried asking about it with his father.
"Y-You… who are you?" Rebecca's voice quivered as she saw how quickly their locations changed.
"You asshole! Are you planning to rape us?" Annie shouted in fear. She covered her body with her free hands.
"You two are too ugly for that."
Rebecca's heart leaped from what she heard. Her knees turned into jelly. She quickly opened up her bag and took out the money that she got from Hitano.
"I-I have money… Just spare me, please." She cried out as she begged for mercy.
Annie nodded her head. She copied Rebecca's actions and begged Hugo. Tears in her eyes started to flow like a river.
Hugo unbelievably laughs. "You plan to give me the money that you extorted from my father?!" The tone of his voice went up. His eyes turned murderously as he remembered the look on his father's face earlier.
"You are Hitano's son?" Rebecca asked, out of shock.
Their fear went away after learning about it. She mockingly laughed and stared at Hugo from head to toe. "And what can you do to us? You're just like your father, a worthless piece of shit!"
Hugo saw red in his eyes at what Rebecca had said. He gazed at her intensely as an eerie smile came out of his lips.
"A worthless being… do you want to know what is the feeling of being worthless?"
"W-What…"
Hugo lost his sense of morality. He remembered it all. How his father cried in front of them when he lost his job in his previous life. How his mother worked hard to fill up the gap when his father wasn't earning the same.
He saw it all.
He witnessed it all.
And knowing that the reason for that was already in his front, talking to him and saying things about his father, who was kind and loving, made him mad.
He didn't care if they were women.
No one will be spared from his wrath.
Hugo swung his fist in the air, but he didn't place a huge amount of force on it. He just needs to knock out the two of them so he can do what he wanted.
Before Rebecca could say anything, she fell to the ground, unconscious. Annie, who witnessed that, trembled in fear. She clasped her hand together and begged for her life.
"Please, spare me. Please have mercy…" she continuously cried out, but Hugo didn't fall for it.
"When my father begged, did you listen to him?"
That was the last thing that Hugo had said before punching Annie in her face. Its impact caused the woman's face to immediately swell and reddened.
"YOU TWO WILL PAY FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY FAMILY!" Hugo screamed out loud as his voice got deeper and deeper each second.
He tied the two women's head to the ceiling using the rope that he saw on the side. He placed a small wooden box underneath them so they have something to stand on. He gathered a few planks of wood that were left on the floor and placed them in the middle, surrounding the two women.
The corners of his lips rose up as he saw a match and a bottle of oil on the side.
Hugo slowly walked towards the middle. He chuckled as he poured the oil on the wood and onto the floor.
Rebecca was the first one to regain her consciousness. Her eyes were petrified when she saw what was happening.
"Say goodbye to everyone, Rebecca." Hugo's voice sounded demonic.
He took out a match and lighted it up.
"Goodbye." Hugo waved his hands as he threw the match on the floor.
He backed away when a large fire burst out. Hugo couldn't help but be satisfied with what he have done.
But no, he didn't leave the building instantly.
He stayed there and listened to Rebecca and Annie's shout.
Begging him to save them.
Begging him to be merciful enough.
