Miscellaneous Lofty Scarlet Stiletto [English Version]

Desert Eagle

I sit on my chair while reading a document about the assassination plan that is aimed at a reliable detective in the Isle of Wight. His name is almost never known to many people. He works along with a mist that covers his identity. This person is very dangerous. Therefore I have to get rid of him as soon as possible.

No one can clearly reveal who this person named Deagle is. Even the documents are given to me does not explain how this person is. There are no photos or anything that can be used as references. Only the place of his last existence has been founded so far. That was four months ago though.

Remembering his name is enough to make me suddenly traumatize. Deagle is a nickname for firearms made in Israel, Desert Eagle. The type of gun that cannot only penetrate the object that is being targeted but also blow it up.

There was a time Dad almost killed me with this weapon. No kidding. That incident happened a week after I made Alicia being my bride. That time, I was about to replace the preservative liquid for her and everything went smoothly.

Suddenly Dad came and was furious. Honestly, it was the first time I heard him yelling with a wave of great anger. It truly surprised me and made me almost lost my balance.

"What a useless kid!" he rebuked. He made several objects around that place flew towards me easily. Only he and maybe one or at least two people can access into that particular room, including me. That was why I was very surprised by his sudden appearance. All this time I almost never found him appear in here when I was in this place. Only once when the first time he showed me this place, after that I never saw him set his foot in here.

I unconsciously moved a few steps back and hit the mannequin that wearing a wedding dress. Of course, it made that object fall and caused a noise that was quite noisy.

The only person I can count on is Dad. I fully appreciate Dad, I respect him. He deserves it. His killing skill was extraordinary. Self-defence, calculation, skill that involves weapons, moreover he has hypnotic skills. Dad is a top-class bandit. His disguise as a well-known businessman in the community is very adept. I am no more than a mere lackey.

He was silent a bit while massaging his temples. Held the overwhelming anger on his head. While I was frozen, every cell of my brain seemed to stop working right away. My whole body felt very tense. My neck felt excruciating just to turn in to the other direction.

"I know your deception and your tricks cannot be doubted. Moreover, your work is stunning." He looked at me with a fierce look. There was a deadly glare in his eyes. "Maybe you are in a euphoric state because of this." Word by word that came out of his mouth sounded so sharp, makes me shudder. "But I didn't expect you could be this careless, Varian." He called my name so vividly.

I knew he was furious. Even though his intonation had dropped.

From the start, he had carried the Desert Eagle in his hand. I could spot it with my eye the moment he entered the room. The gap between his hand which was pointing at me with the Desert Eagle was getting closer. Whenever he wanted, that Deagle bullet could kill me right away. My instincts said to get rid of his hand, like it or not.

"DOR!!"

Surely the Deagle's bullet that is two times bigger than a common bullet in general, shot through the glass of the aquarium. That is right, the aquarium where Alicia was asleep. Suddenly that thing broke. Luckily the bullet did not hit Alicia.

"I-I still wanna be alive ... " I said haltingly.

I was so shocked.

If I was late to parry off Dad's hand, I would never be able to see what was going through that time.

While the Desert Eagle bounced a few meters away. The fumes came out from its barrel.

As if not satisfied made me traumatized. Dad immediately hit me mercilessly. He cast a fist on my face until I fell down. Not once or twice, but it felt like a lot. It seemed like his anger was not only because of my carelessness but because of his vexation that really could not kill me.

I do not really know what happened after that. A flash of memory about that sight overlaps. The portrait of that sight seems fragmented and blurred.

All I can remember is the part when I laid on the bed of the patient in the hospital the next day. I still remember how the pain in my face feels. Thank God I did not suffer a fracture and so on.

About Alicia's body, after returned from the hospital. Dad's personal assistant replaced her aquarium and the formaldehyde with a new one. That relieved me enough, at least.

Since then I have never dared to hold the Desert Eagle in the slightest.
