SINGULARS

Chapter 24

Shaddai entered the mansion and walked into a big hall. Chuck was sitting at the other side of the hall in a big white chair, waiting for Shaddai.

"Ha, Ha, ha, You look angry Shaddai, sorry for the mess I left, but I had to do it, nothing personal, I also wanted to show you how strong I've become thanks to the cartel," said Chuck excitedly approaching Shaddai.

"I understand the truth of this world, powerful people can do whatever the fuck they want. Since I like you, I want you to be at my side, but I also wanted to show you that I am serious, you come with us or you die, to teach you that life is not a game," Chuck added but Shaddai kept walking.

"That's where you are wrong, I am not playing" -said Shaddai and started screaming, he clenched his fists, his veins popped out, he screamed louder and his fangs grew, Shaddai's muscles swelled, he suddenly went from an average body to a strong muscular build, Chuck flinched and Shaddai screamed louder, his skin slowly turned a glowy red- "Angry mode, furious body," said Shaddai in a deep voice.

Chuck quickly approached Shaddai throwing a punch, Shaddai did the same, both fists collided but Chuck's knuckles broke due to the impact, jab, straight punch and a body blow from Shaddai threw Chuck to the floor.

"You little piece of," Chuck yelled but was interrupted by a barrage of hits from Shaddai ending in a big shot to the guts, Chuck spat blood and stepped back slowly. Chuck threw a wide left hook, Shaddai dodged, Chucked cover himself with his arms and Shaddai proceeded to ravage his guard breaking Chuck's upper arms.

Chuck dropped his guard and Shaddai planted a fist on his foe's face throwing him to the end of the hall. Chuck promptly stood back up fearing for his life, Shaddai pummeled his enemy and sent him to the ground leaving a hole in the mansion's floor, Shaddai grabbed Chuck's left leg strongly, breaking his opponent's tibia, and threw him against the ceiling bouncing back to the floor leaving some cracks.

"Wait Shaddai, please don't do this, if we team up, maybe we can," Chuck said with regretful tears.

"As I said I am not playing, Juan told me about the universal church meetings with the cartel, artificial singularities huh? Do you know what was the cost for your new powers? What was the price the cartel had to pay? Hundreds if not thousands of lives, the security of people like you, who were just hanging out with his girlfriend, the security of people like the ones living in this town who are kind and hard-working," yelled Shaddai while Chuck was scared.

"The lives of people like my family!" Shaddai added, punching Chuck in the face.

Chuck crawled, Shaddai walked slowly to finish him, Chuck stood up again very weak with blood all over his clothes.

"I didn't know about your family, I had nothing to do with it, I'll help you, please Shaddai, don't do this, aren't we friends?" Chuck begged.

"You were right about one thing, strong people can do whatever they want, but there is always someone that can beat you, and you are still weak" - Shaddai threw a big and wide left hook at Chuck's chin, ripping his jaw apart and tossing it to the other side of the room- "Angry tomahawk."

Blood splashed all over the place, Chuck's body was on the ground but Shaddai wasn't satisfied.

"Wait!" -said Hannah running to Shaddai grabbing him from the back in an attempt to stop him, Shaddai grabbed Hannah from the head and tossed her to the floor- "You are not like this Shaddai," said Hannah with a broken heart.

Shaddai recognized Hannah's face and reverted to his normal state, he kept silent crestfallen, Hannah hugged him and after a few moments, he hugged her back.
