Don't push my buttons

Manhattan, New York.

Somewhere in a dark alley filled with garbage and homeless.

On the right side of the alley, there stood a wooden door that looks like it's about to break.

A homeless person walked up to it and knocked 3 times then waited.

"What's the code" A gloomy voice said from behind the door

"A lonely child whose parents was murdered, became the dark night"

The homeless man who reeked off trash said with a mockery and laughter.

The door slowly opened for the homeless man too see a lively bar.

The interior looks like a fancy 1980's bar, where every chair and desk are made from wood.

The guests wearing masks, gloves, suits and dress.

If you ignored the outside environment, you would've thought this was a fancy bar.

Even If everyone is self-restrained and looked like they are enjoying life. But they can't hide the killing intent from each other.

A huge bounty list is placed on a brown board right beside the bartender always catching everyone's attention.

Bruce Wayne, Batman, Superman, Flash, Oliver Queen, etc

The noise started to quiet down as the bartender slowly walked to list.

"oh, It seems we have a new bounty"

A middle-aged man with expensive clothes commentated. While everyone nodding their head

"yea, I just hope it's a newbie, kekeke"

A young man who looks malnourished said with a creepy laugh

The bartender put his hand on the list and went up, passing 300th, 200th, 100th.

The crowd quieted down, looking at the bartender still scrolling up with shocked faces.

Until the tired bartender stopped at number 10th.

10. Issac Athens

Description: 20-year-old man who amassed billions in 1 year from stock investments. He likes being lowkey as most of the public are unknown to him. His wealth is comparable to Bruce Wayne

Hint: It seems like he's investing in technology companies. You can investigate that.

Reward: Lazarus Pit

Silence ensures the room.

No one cared about the description.

Everyone eyes were fixated on the rewards.

Lazarus Pit

An Unknown liquid that can instantly heal injuries and even grant immortality to those who bathe in it.

"Why did such a promising young man provoke League of Assassins?"

"Forget that I need to bathe in Lazarus Pit!"

"kekeke, what an easy bounty"

The once quiet bar suddenly became noisy.

While everyone was talking, an old man solemnly glanced at the list and left the bar.

Made some turn arounds, and hiding from any cameras, until he found a safe alley.

"Today is gonna be a lively night for the underground circle"

The old man said while picking up his encrypted smartphone and dialed someone.

"What is it" Issac said in a grave tone.

"Just like you predicted sir. All the underground circles heard about you" The old man said.

"Sigh, I see." Issac said while indifferently looking at his laboratory filled with mutilated corpse.

The old man flipped the encrypted smartphone to its backside, opened the back case, removed the ssd, burned it.

Letting it drop on the ground.

Before he can leave, time started to slow down for him, as every cell in his body is warning him to escape.

But he can't, he's locked by an insane killing intent.

The old man calmly turned around and saw a 6ft muscular man in a black and orange costume, with a long sword hanging from his back and two pistols on his waist.

Deathstroke looked at this old man with killing intent.

Out of his peripheral vision he sees a burned ssd falling and the old man holding a smartphone.

The old man is Issac's clone hidden as a bounty hunter.

The old man bit down something in his mouth and fell on the cold concrete while convulsing with foam out his mouth.

"What a waste of time"

Deathstroke shook his head in frustration, leaving the alley.

Ever since Issac was on the bounty list, his life hasn't changed much, only difference would be small miscellaneous fish disturbing his peace.

"It seems I need to speed up my research"

"Specially on the soul side of spectrum"

Issac voice echoed in the 100 meters radius or the size of a American Football Field underground base.

54,000 humans are passed out on the cold concrete.

All are adults at the age of 18 – 50 years old, men, woman from war torn countries, and black market.

He remembered the Lazarus Pit can strengthen human body and extend life span, he hypothesized that it can strengthen the soul too.

So Issac ordered his clone to steal some, some minor trouble occurred but it was solved quickly.

He found a way to absorb other human souls using technology.

Creating a symbiotic technology.

It can connect to the human brain using the billions of neurons, engraving a magic pattern on the human brain.

Connecting Issac's brain to the targets brain.

Issac will let out his consciousness and follow the magic connection and absorb the targets soul.

This is a crude way of doing it, but his soul isn't strong enough to personally leave the body yet.

He estimates, by the time he absorbs 5,000 humans, Issac is strong enough to leave and enter his body in soul state.

"Noxus, put on Protocol Restricted 3"

"Make sure no body enters the underground base"

"If they are strong enough to bypass all the highest defence and are in the Key Notes People"

"Set off the Self Defence 31 & Attack 32 to nuke"

"I will transfer my soul into one of my clones"

"So, they know they messed with the wrong person"

Issac said with emotionless voice and indifference face, unaware or chose not to care about how many lives he's going to kill if it occurs.

"All protocols are on standby Sir!"

Noxus said without any emotions.
