214 ARE YOU SURE, YOU WANT TO BE WITH HIM?

“What is this?!” July asked Knox in panic. She clutched onto him tightly, since the nearest crack was only three steps away from her and she could see how scary and deep it was.

Knox said nothing, but his expression was very serious right now. He hated it when he had to put July in this kind of dangerous situation. If something happened to her...

Knox stopped himself, he didn’t want to think something like that and didn’t want to put himself in that horrible situation.

Nothing would happen to July and he would guarantee that. He would put his life on the line if the situation required him to do so.

“Hold onto me and don’t let me go,” Knox said gently to July, so she could feel less panicked. “You will be fine.” He would make sure she was fine.

July tightened her arms around his waist and closed her eyes, so she could stop seeing that scary crack around her. It was like a gigantic snake that slithered on the ground.

“What is happening there?!” Sebastian pointing out his hand toward the area, where they thought Chaos was at.

In that place, they could see a beam of bright red light that illuminated the sky.

That must be Chaos.

Did he plan to burn down this whole city as well? But the last time Knox checked on him, he was barely able to raise his finger from all the exhaustion. What actually happened?

====================

Zuri killed the sniper that she saw earlier, who was placed on the top of this building. He had loaded the weapon with silver bullets and there were spare bullets in a box near him.

Probably, The Hound took every chance possible to bring down Chaos, since they didn’t know what his weakness was.

“You fell down like that when you were eight years old, remembered?” Hades looked down at the dead man, who had been pushed by Zuri earlier. She moved stealthily and didn’t make any sound, until she was close enough and then tackled him down.

After all, all of this was part of her training when she was still in the Shadow Moon Pack, thanks to Xerxes, who had trained her hard for situations like this.

Therefore, when Zuri had to kill the man, she didn’t feel any regret, she only felt some repulsion when she had to touch him. That was one of the reasons why she pushed him down, since it would be easier.

“Now, what are you going to do? Will you kill all those filthy humans down there?” Hades knelt down beside Zuri and watched how swiftly she handled the weapon. “You know right, you can accept my offer and then I will do everything for you. Whatever you want.” There was a cunning smile on his lips when he spoke again. “I can even bring your father or uncle back from the dead if that’s what you want. All you need to do just accept my offer and...”

Hades didn’t have time to finish his blabbering when Zuri lifted the weapon and aimed at Hades without a second thought or even a change of expression.

All of that happened so fast and Hades didn’t see it coming at all. And the next thing he knew; a bullet had been shot at him.

If Hades was a normal human being, he would have a zero chance of surviving such a close range attack, but fortunately, he owned death. He was the death itself.

“You are so cruel,” Hades commented with a sad expression. “You keep trying to kill me.”

Zuri gave him a side look, while saying, “Don’t be so dramatic. You can’t die.”

“So, why do you try?”

Zuri shrugged her shoulders. “Because I feel like it.”

“Cruel,” Hades said sullenly.

But then the mischief on his face disappeared when he could feel the building shake which was followed by a loud roaring sound from beneath the ground.

As if there was an enormous creature that had just woken up.

“What is that?” Zuri flinched when Hades took her hand and let her grab onto the railing so she could steady herself before standing up to look down there, to see what was actually happening.

Hades’ expression changed when he found something that he would have never thought to happen. He was furious to say the least.

The crack on the ground spread like lightning in the gloomy sky, it slithered on the ground and swallowed everything on top of it.

As such, when the crack spread under the building, where Hades and Zuri were at, it started to collapse.

Those people were screaming and shouting incoherently at each other, completely forgetting about the mission to get Chaos, as their main concern right now was to save themselves.

On the other hand, Zuri tried to stand up and see what Hades was looking at. She could tell from the way his expression changed that this was something that bothered him. And as long as she could remember, there were only so many things that could bother this god of the underworld.

“Did Chaos do all of this?” Zuri’s eyes opened wide, as she watched all hell break loose down there, while the buildings started sinking to the ground, just like sinking boats.

Hades didn’t answer her question immediately, but he narrowed his eyes at Chaos, who was standing in the same position, not even bothering about his surroundings. “I don’t think so, but he certainly is the one who triggered all this chaos.”

Zuri wanted to protest. It was her subconscious reaction to stand by Chaos, yet before she said a word, Hades added.

“He is Chaos, Blue. His very existence is a symbol of destruction. It is good that his soul had shattered and the destruction that he caused can be minimized, but he is still a calamity for this realm.” Hades then looked at Zuri. “Are you sure you want to be with a man like him?”
