Shadows Of The Twilight (Book-II)

<10>

(3rd person's pov) :

Dazai and Emily walk down the stairs leading to a dark basement. It was the Mafia's underground prison. People come here alive, but not a single one leaves alive.

The room was dark and the black cracked stone walls fills the basement with a lake-like fog. No windows, no doors. The only door was at a distance from where a person could enter or exit. Stains of blood were often seen in the place, that spot was meant for torturing hostages.

Just as the two young Executives appeared in the room all of the operatives present there straightened up. A total of three corpses were lying there on the ground. They haven't been dead for long as seen from the blood slowly flowing down from their bodies. Their blood was still fresh.

The deceased three men were Mimic's soldiers and it was Dazai and Emily's trap, after the soldiers inhaled sleeping gas they were brought in the Mafia's basement for interrogation but surprsingly the men were dead now.

"We want to hear a clear explanation." Dazai strictly said standing beside Emily and looking at the dead bodies of the soldiers.

"T-the Mimic soldiers.. who attacked the Mafia's Casino were caught after inhaling sleeping gas and brought here." A operative in a black suit replies, "Originally, we were going to interrogate them here to force out information about their comrades. The poison pills hidden behind their teeth were already removed."

"We know everything up to this point, because we are the ones who planned it in the first place. What we are asking is what happened afterwards?" Emily asked in her dark cold tone which sent a chill to the operative's spine. He was afraid to spill out.

The operative stutters, "O-one of the soldiers woke up earlier than we expected. Before we could get the handcuffs on, that soldier had already snatched our guns, shooting his fellow soldiers to stop them from leaking any information. After that, he turned to attack us, but-----"

"That's when, I stepped in and took care of him." Another male voice finishes who entered the room.

A young boy, younger than Dazai and Emily wearing a black coat. It was Auktagawa. The two Executives recognised his voice but they didn't replied him, they simply stood there in silence.

"So, that's how it is, huh?" Emily murmurs.

"Do you both have a problem with that?" Auktagawa asked standing at a few steps behind Dazai and Emily.

"Ah, not at all~ there's isn't a problem. Offcourse, you defeated these terrible, monstrous, scary soldiers and protected our comrades. You've done really well Auktagawa!" Dazai said as he slightly grits his teeth, turning around to face the boy.

"Indeed.. if you didn't have your ability, it would have been impossible to defeat such a strong opponent in one strike. Nothing less from our subordinate. Thanks to you, all the plannings that we did is ruined now." Emily simply said turning her head to Auktagawa.

The tension in the room started to feel choking. The operatives had a sweat on their foreheads and were watching by the sides nervously thinking about the outcome that was going to happen.

"Emily and I planned everything perfectly. We laid traps to catch these soldiers so that we can bring them here and interrogate them for all sorts of precious information. If there could have been even one survivor, we could have asked him about the enemy's base, the enemy's motive, their next target, their Leader's name and origin, as well as the Leader's ability. But you just came and killed them, right? ..What a great job indeed!" Dazai listed out slowly walking closer to Auktagawa.

"Uncover information? Do you both think that I would go through all the trouble to-----"

Auktagawa proudly starts speaking but without letting him finish, Dazai swings a fist at his face. He was sent flying and his head hits the concrete floor as he splitted out blood from his mouth.
All the operatives present there just flinched at this, as they could feel the anger of the two Executives.
