Chapter 52

"This looks good," I hummed happily as I stared at the fourth floor of my base. Turning to look at the eight blindfolded prisoners of Castor that were tied to their chairs, I gestured to Chia to take off the bags that covered their heads. Instantly, the bodies jerked awake from her sudden action, looking at me in confusion and fatigue. Every one of them had a cloth tied around their mouth so that they couldn't die by biting their tongues.

"Alright, attention prisoners, this is your chance to redeem yourself," I clapped as all of them continued staring at a 17-year-old's face. I snickered before gesturing to the battleground before me.

I explained the rules briefly and if they went against the rules, they would be tortured into a death that was not even humanly possible. All their faces paled when I described the ways of torture before smiling maliciously at how my use of words had scared them shitless.

The rules were simple, go in there and be the last one standing.

The guns were filled with real bullets so that they would actually die if they were to get shot. They were able to use any equipment located in space as weapons or shields. The last one standing would be rewarded as a free pass to leave the base, without my members touching them.

"And how do we know that you'll keep your promise?!" A guy shouted out as his chair rocked from his movements. I placed a hand on my chest smugly before smirking a bit.

"I will be joining the game too."

The guy jerked back into his seat, staring at me with disbelief.

"Mind I also tell you, I am the boss of this base, daughter of Henrik, and the owner of several American brands," I tapped my chest with a half shrug. "Is that enough to get you going?"

Several glances were exchanged between them almost too quickly as if they were having a conference with their gazes. They knew that even if they won, there was a high possibility that my members would still kill them. But if I was joining, then it was an entirely another thing. Being captured basically already meant death, then if so, why not take down an important figure that would become a threat to them in the future?

I watched as they twerked their eyebrows and twitched their eyes before laughing a bit, telling them that they had 20 minutes to discuss as I needed to prepare for the battle. I walked out of the room and into the control room that was linked directly next to the battle room and had bulletproof glass that was see-through only from the inside.

I plopped down the couch located in the back of the control room before waiting for the 20 minutes to pass by. Honestly, I was already quite prepared beforehand since this was the event of the week. I had been waiting anxiously for the arrival of this game and had told my members to take note of all the statistics of the prisoners.

They were already playing in my grasp. Well, most of it, anyway. I wouldn't die because my members had sneakily injected drugs into their system, and the more they were hopping around on the battlefield, the more the poison would spread.

Chia beside me handed me a bottle of water as she turned her eyes back to the glass which separated us and the prisoners who were shouting at each other after having the gag taken away from their mouths. A few other of my members snickered at their conversation in which the prisoners themselves probably knew we were listening in but did not care since their life was on the line.

I watched with an amused smile before my mind flashed back to yesterday in the park with Light. He had questioned my motives for staying in the mafia after accepting the fact that I made a deal with Hugo, giving him the pages of the Death Notes to act as a distraction for L in the HQ.
