Loving His Assassin

Chapter 26 : Checkmate

Edited

I didn't wait very long before the second group arrived. There looked exhausted, I wondered what training Claire was making them do? I grinned at that thought and waited still sitting on a chair. This wasn't the group that I needed to humiliate. The group 2 was composed of people in the middle rank. They weren't weak, but they weren't strong either.

"When I call your name, come in front of me. Alexander King!" I ordered and waited.

When the guy didn't present himself to me after a few seconds, I sighed.

"Alexander King! If you don't present yourself now in front of me, consider yourself dead." I said loud enough so they could hear, but I wasn't shouting. "5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0. If I were you, I'll start to find a hole so you can disappear somewhere in Siberia." I looked menacingly at the group.

However, no one moved. That was strange, where could he be?

"Everyone go run until I say to stop! I want you guys to run like your life depended on it!' I bark my order as I took out my phone.

I went on speed dial and waited for the person to answer me.

"Yes?"

"Matt, could you search on Alexander King? He's not here with me and I just want to be sure this guy is clean." I explained as I watched everyone run.

"Sure thing, Nyx. I'll call you back." he answered and ended the call.

The second group examination went without problems after that incident. They were now going back to Claire and I was waiting impatiently. So much that I was struggling to stay still on the chair. I must look like a child on Christmas night waiting for my presents. Not that I had any.

Anyways, ten minutes passed and the group still wasn't there. That was odd, didn't take more than 5 minutes to come here.

I decided to call Claire when I heard something odd. It was like someone tried to walk on the dead leaves and branches without being heard. I smiled, they wanted to play hide and seek?

I got up of my chair and the sound stopped. I started to walk toward the opposite direction of the sound. When I reached the other side, the sound was still there. I went the forest around the training camp and calmed myself to become one with the forest. Something that the man behind me failed to do.

Subtly I started to walk faster and faster until I was running. The guy behind me also started to run. And when I was about to take a turn, I jumped on a tree the highest one without a sound.

Not moving and barely breathing, I waited until my pray decided to come out. As the sound got closer and closer, I saw the guy that was stalking me.

It was the same guy that defied me by asking the question to Logan. I smiled, maybe I should make an example out of him.

I snapped out of my plan when I heard him talk.

"Jeremy, you copy? I lost our prey. He is damn fast... Fuck! ... Yeah, we will act as planned and show him how pitiful he is... Yeah, if you see him, you know what to do and tell everyone to act alone. He has a great ear also... Yeah, roger." the man said to someone on the other side of his mini cell phone.

I almost laughed out loud. They did the only thing that I would never do. Split up, that will be a fatal error. And the prey will now chase the predator... I couldn't wait!

I slowly took out my gun and started to load it, I checked how much grenades I had, my knives, my ammo and closed my phone. Everything was in place, let the hunt begin!

The big bad boy would be my last target. I wanted him to go crazy as I slowly get all his men out.

I jumped off the tree and slowly walked toward the opposite direction of the big boss took.

I didn't need to search or walk a long time before I found my first prey. He was back to me and facing a tree...

Anyways, I carefully went behind him and took out my knife and stabbed it in his neck. 'W-what?!' the man exclaimed and fell on the ground.

"Jorge you finished?!" shouted another one few meters away.

Knowing he would come check on his friend, I climbed the tree in front of me and waited with my gun ready. As soon as I see him, I would shoot.

"Jeez, Jorge it doesn't take an hour to p... Oh shit!' he ran toward his friend "Jorge, Jorge! You still..." and I shot him in the neck. He also collapsed on the other guy body.

I jumped down and took their mini cell phone. Bingo! Again I could listen to all their conversation, easy piece of cake!

While listening to their conversations and how they should humiliate me, I, one by one took out more than half of the men. There was still four left and they were with the big boss. They planned to trap me on close combat.

I had to be more careful now, I was pretty sure that if we were all fighting, they would play dirty. It would be more careful up there, on the trees.

"I saw him! He's climbing a tree 200 meters North-West to us!" shouted one of them in the mini cellphone.

Oops, they found me.

"If he climbs up there, there's no way we can reach him! We don't know how to climb one..." explained another.

"Thanks for the info." I finally said something through the phone.

In answer, I received groans of frustration and a curse. I laughed out loud "I'm waiting for all of you! Show me what you got, preys."

"I swear, I'll have you and show our Boss you don't belong here!" shouted the big man.

"We will see. I'm pretty sure I'm more qualified than you. You seem to only have muscles as a brain."

I heard him ran to me from miles. I succeeded to make him pretty mad.

"Checkmate." I mumbled to myself.

As a result, he tried to climb the tree in front of my face. Then, the others followed him and tried to talk to the big boss, saying it wasn't a good idea. But the mad guy, didn't want to hear any of it.

I sighed, what stupidity.

"Game over my preys." I said with a smile as a throw at them a grenade.

"W-what the hell?!?" shouted all of them in unison before it exploded.

BOOM!!
