Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 75. The Dark market bag. 2
Ryou and Kaito just came out of Justin's room. The scene they saw was the seven children who were gathering together and hugging each other with Theo as the center. Not to forget also the traces of blood that many belong to Justin.
The two stopped for a while while enjoying the heartwarming sight.
Kaito pats Ryou on the shoulder and whispers to him while giving something out of his pocket.
“Ryou, save this fine”
“It..”.
The thing Kaito took out was their lost old pocket watch. Ryou was so surprised to see it and whispered.
“Oi, did you get it after defeating that gorilla?!”
“Not. I got this from the bartender's master. Who would have thought that it turned out that he was the one who kept this pocket watch. I didn't ask how he could have that thing but clearly one goal we've reached”
“.....” Ryou saw the pocket watch was fine
Opening the clock, he checked everything. Each scratch is still the same, the color does not change. It's just that now there's something different.
“For seconds it can spin now!!” Ryou was surprised
Until it disappears, the second hand on the pocket watch does not move at all even though it is seen for a few minutes. But now, everything works well.
Kaito took out his pocket watch and equalized the time on both pocket watches.
“Same. Looks like your pocket watch is okay. Thank goodness it didn't break”
“I'm not sure this thing can be damaged, Kaito. Basically both of our pocket watches do not come from this crazy ‘world’, so it seems almost impossible to damage it”
Ryou's answer made sense. Even Kaito himself is still curious why the pocket watches belonging to the two brothers can be exactly like his. Kaito's initial thoughts about his relationship with their pocket watch have not changed.
There is another thread of fate that binds them yet is still covered by mystery.
Ryou does not need any information from Kaito's mouth and assumes the issue of this pocket watch has been resolved. He put it in his pants pocket.
Before putting it back in his pocket in his robe, Kaito saw the time on his pocket watch had shown at 11:37.
‘Only in less than six hours since leaving the inn, everything changed drastically. I'm not sure if this will end in just one day or not, but we don't have much time!’ kaito murmured in the heart
Ryou walked first to the circle of children who were still standing in the corner of the room near the broken entrance, while Kaito put his pocket watch back in and still remained in place while thinking.
Kaito looked back into the room where Justin's body was.
‘After getting that pocket watch back, it is now the owner's turn to disappear. I'm not sure if this will really end well or not but I don't have time anymore. As the bartender said, if indeed tonight the black market will be opened then our time to save them is less than late afternoon. If not fast maybe all will be late’ he said in his heart
While walking towards the place of the children, Kaito muttered in a soft voice.
“The worst possibility I have is that the three of them will not survive until later in the afternoon”
At first the bad thoughts did not cross his mind. But rationally thought of by him, Kaito certainly realized that the woman named Seren whom Arkan said was very dangerous.
He even thought the woman would not be as weak as the big-mouthed Justin.
‘At least I should think that the woman is stronger than me. Let's just say he's a dark wolf or a satyr in weird conditions like last night. Or if you want to be compared to all the strange creatures I've been fighting, I'll think of him as the human version of Chimera
Indeed, Kaito's mind was a little exaggerated when comparing this woman named Seren with a chimera. But, that was very reasonable considering he had never fought against her.
In essence, they must not be careless to be able to save the three kidnapped people and get clues about the pieces of his memory.
******
In the dark region, [Crane Rouge Region], Seren and Will appeared to have arrived in front of a building next to the six-story building [La porte du Paradis].
They both got into it.
The building is an ordinary three-story shop with glass covered at each corner. There is no writing of the name of the store and there is only a marker on the door with the words ‘close’ hanging.
Seren opened the door and only saw a window and a closet covered in white cloth.
“Madame, do you not fill all the shelves anymore?. Yesterday's stuff didn't sell or you threw it away?” Will asked while looking around the room
“They've been moved to other stores that lack goods. Because most of what is left is only the human leg and a pair of ears so my husband gives a discount for those who want to buy it” explained Seren casually
“Hoo, so. Looks like Monsieur's business after opening his own shop next to the house is pretty good. What tonight, all these items will be on display as well?”
“I think my husband will display it as the main item for sale. I'm sure you also know that the price of children's internal organs and bodies has been increasing lately. Those rich people just want all these humans and corpses for their pleasure”
Hearing Seren's reply, Will smiled widely while nodding in agreement then replied with a laugh.
“You're right, Madame. Only people without hearts could come to this place with happy faces. It was no different with Madame and me. Ahahaha”
“Yes, I think so. So Will, because I'm a person without a heart.meaning increased salary and bonus you are no longer needed ya” Seren smiled sweetly while looking at the big man.
Will instantly paled with a heart that shattered into pieces hearing him.
“No, please don't be so cruel, Madame!!. You promised to raise it 60!!. Come on, Monsieur will love you even more!!. My beloved Madame, you are so beautiful and kind!!. The most beautiful and beautiful in the whole place!!. Please raise my salary and bonus!!” now Will's starting to whine
“Pfft, just kidding. Your salary will still go up with the bonus this month. Can't you joke with me a little bit, Will” Seren chuckles as he walks
“A..hahaha”
Now Will's forced laughter represented his heart.
‘Madame, your joke is scary!!. I'd rather kill more people than lose my salary and bonus’
Taking the stairs to the top, the two arrived at a room. Seren opened the door of the room and saw Jack holding the head of a woman.
“Jack~” tone talk Seren instantly turn sweet and spoiled
Jack who heard the voice immediately put down the woman's head and smiled widely.
“Oh Seren my beloved wife~” Jack immediately hugged her tightly
The room where Jack is located really reflects his nature as a seller of the human body.
Fresh blood was everywhere, even his clothes were covered in blood. His handsome face and both hands did not escape from the bloodstains.
Along with the head previously held by Jack, there was another child-shaped head there. His eyeball hole was empty with a lot of blood and his mouth was open proving his tongue had been cut.
But with the number of heads on the table in the room there were two, it could be ascertained that the people who were killed and cut numbered two people.
Although his body was bathed in blood, he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to hug his wife. After all, Seren had not bothered about the bloodstains since they were both used to it all.
When Jack hugged his wife, he saw someone behind him and let go of his arms.
“Why are you here, William?”
“Mo.. Monseur. Good afternoon handsome and dignified Monsieur. Hahaha” Will's face looked awkward facing the handsome man
“Hoo, noon. So, dear William, why are you here instead of guarding the gate outside?. Are you finally handing yourself over to me for display in this store tonight?” Jack asked with a smile
“That's not what you think, Monsieur!. I. I brought this to Madame”
With his lightness, Will put the child in the plastic he carried on his shoulder and threw Kino's body until the splash of blood on the floor soiled almost all his clothes.
“Huwaa~~” Jack opens his mouth and eyes wide
“Madame gets this when heading to the kids' place, Monsieur” explains Will
Seren took down the plastic he was carrying as well and placed it on the floor, but Jack's attention was not in the direction of the two plastics.
He smiled widely and was very enthusiastic to see the face of the teenager before him.
While continuing to look at the shape of his fingers, the color of his skin, opening his eyes to look at his eyeballs, smelling the scent of hair until examining his teeth and tongue, Jack did so in detail.
After that he could not help his pleasure.
“See what you brought this!!. The skin color is white but different from what we have, the teeth are so neat without any holes, the tongue is pink, brown eyeballs that we have never met before. This child must be a stranger and away from other lands!!” Jack described it very clearly
“Be...Do you think, Monsieur?” will asked in surprise
Seren who heard that said nothing and just smiled to see the husband was happy.
Not satisfied with his admiration, Jack continued his comments again.
“You see this, my sweet William. His fingers are so flick. It's a little weird because I don't smell sweat or anything. Even more unusual, from the incision wound you made there was no fishy smell of blood from his body. This is really a step!!. It will definitely sell out loud tonight!”
Seren was more than happy to hear a nice comment from his husband. Jack stood up and immediately hugged the two people who were in front of him.
“I love you both!!”
Not long after, he let go of Will and just hugged his wife while yelling “Seren my dear is the best!!” loudly.
Will could only sigh with a forced smile. But after that, he had to gulp out of fear. It was because Seren said something.
“Jack my dear, because Will has helped me so I intend to give him a raise and a bonus. No problem, right?”
“Require salary?. A bonus?. How much did he ask?”
“60% of the current”
“Ma...Madame!!” Will almost screamed in cold sweat
Jack looked at Will and smiled very sweetly to give him the most positive response.
“William, I'm glad you said the thing you always wanted”
“Monsieur it..Ehehehe” Will can only laugh with sweat and fear.
“You will receive a raise after you sell me your head. I can help you process that until the end of the month. You want?”
A sarcastic remark with a charming smile from Jack.
“Not so payroll, Monsieur. That now is also enough to make me breathe in this world. As long as the salary and bonuses are still routine every month, that is enough. Ahahaha” Will can only resign
“So. I would raise your salary 100% if your head was sold to me. Too bad”
Inwardly, Will could only murmur.
‘If I could make that offer the same as me dying, you cruel master has no heart!!!. The narrow-hearted man!!. I expected that if I said that in front of Monsieur then my head would be bid!!. Madame, you're evil once’
Will started to look like a child with tears. But it seems good luck is supporting him enough now.
“My husband, if you don't want to give him an extra bonus, I don't think it's a problem. But since I promised her, can't you just raise her salary by 30?. I don't think it's going to be too bad. My husband is big-hearted and kind, right?” seren's spoiled voice was really a temptation for Jack
Sighing deeply for not wanting to disappoint his wife, Jack finally agreed to Seren's request.
“Alright, William. Only 30% will I give you this month. Thank my beautiful angel and move the two plastics. Bring to the next room just”
“Oh, thank you very much, Monsieur, Madame~” Will is really moved now
Like a picture of a dancing ballerina, she carried the two plastic bags easily while humming.
The couple saw the teenager on the floor.
“You hurt him, right?” Jack asked Seren
“True. He had fought back. I thought I had injured her stomach, but she managed to hold it with her own left hand. Although it did not last long. Because I thought Jack was going to cut it himself so I purposely brought him to life”
“So. Nice work. Now let me do my job. I'm going to gouge out those beautiful eyeballs and cut out his tongue” Jack said as he walked over to the table to pick up the knife
But before doing so, Seren prevented it.
“Nee, can't we relax just yet. Since morning you've been very busy. Besides, you haven't seen Justin's little angel yet. Jack won't check it out for a minute?”
“Hmm..” Jack thought
After thinking for a few seconds he finally nodded in agreement and went to close the door of the room.
