Hitman x Wives

Chapter 253- Tower Of Time (Part 1)

Inside a small shop somewhere in the world, hidden in one of the rooms were two individuals. One woman and one man. The man was laying on the bed with his arms tied to the bed frame and his eyes covered with a dark cloth.

He had red spots all over his body and his closed mouth was leaking moans every other second. 

"You like it this way, don't you? You little pervert." The woman who stood on top of him was stomping his body sadistically as she spoke to him with a haughty tone.

"Yes! I do! Please give me more!!" The man exclaimed as he enjoyed the pain coming from the heels of the woman.

The two were completely engrossed in their little play without a care in the world. However, at that moment, the woman's phone started ringing.

"Tsk?! Who's calling right now of all time?!" Grumbling under her breath, Chaldia hopped down from her partner and walked toward the phone.

When she read the number that called her, her face immediately froze before she quickly answered the call without a second of hesitation.

"Kai? Boy, is that you?" She spoke with a small smile. She hadn't spoken with her benefactor in months so she did indeed miss him.

However, she didn't hear an answer at all. Instead, all that reached her was incoherent gibberish that she didn't understand.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Her partner noticed her reaction and so he asked.

"I don't know. Kai called me but the signal seems very weak." She replied as she looked at the call.

Although a normal person would've thought that it was merely a problem with the signal, Chaldia knew that it wasn't as simple as that. Kai wasn't someone who would call out of nowhere with no reason. The lack of signal makes it even more so eye-catching.

"Can you track his signal down?" Chaldia sighed as she threw her phone to her partner.

"Hmm, I think I do." Looking at the number, the man pulled out his laptop and quickly connected it to the phone before he started typing on it.

A few moments later, a map of the world appeared on his screen before a detection marker started scouring the whole world for the place of the signal.

"He isn't anywhere close from here." The man said as he signaled for Chaldia to approach him. The two waited for the pointer to find Kai.

Eventually, the signal lead them to a place they didn't expect at all. It showed them the heart of the southern seas, in the middle of nowhere.

"What the fuck is that boy doing there?" Chaldia murmured with a frown.

"I don't know myself."

"We need to move. He must need my help or he would've not called me." Quickly turning around, Chaldia started wearing her clothes.

"Oh no, we're really going to go on a trip now?" The man seemed unwilling for a second. He knew that this was a top priority but he was regretful that their fun time was cut short.

Chaldia noticed that before she approached him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"When we come back… I will give you what you want~" She whispered seductively in his ear before she continued wearing her clothes as if nothing happened.

The man was frozen in his place for a second before he cracked a smile. "You're really… unfair…"

After that, the duo quickly went to the dock behind their shop and quickly took the fastest boat they had.

"Are you ready?" Chaldia asked with a grin.

"Go ahead, I will lead us to him."

With that, Chaldia activated the boat before she quickly accelerated through the secret tunnel toward the open sea.

'You better be ok, Kai.' Chaldia thought to herself with a serious expression. She felt that this was the time she willa actually be able to return the favor Kai gave her. She will have to be there for him.

***

On the other side of the world, Kai, Kaya and Aria sat down near the edge of the cliff waiting.

"Are you sure she's gonna find us?" Kaya asked.

"Yes, she should be able to. Chal is smart enough to realize that I didn't call for no reason. It's a matter of time before she reaches her." Kai shrugged as he settled down near the huge bone he has been carrying for the past few days.

Although the situation seemed rather good, Kai wasn't really in a good mood and the reason is simple. Eva, he was thinking about her.

'I didn't call her in days… She will definitely be worried.' He thought to himself.

Eva and him talked everyday through facetime to make sure that they're both fine. She was aware of everything that happened up till the point Kai had to leave for this mission. The fact that she lost connection with him completely must've put her in a very bad situation.

'I need to come back quickly before she does anything.'

"Well, let's have lunch since we have nothing to do." Aria suggested.

Kai and Kaya nodded their heads in approval. They were feeling hungry after the distance they crossed on foot.

So, as they were eating the sandwiches Kai made, they suddenly heard a weird sound coming from the sea. 

"Hm?"

The trio turned at the same time to look at the water with suspicious looks.

"Did you hear that?" Kai asked.

"Yes."

"I did."

They all stood up at the same time. The sound that came from the sea happened again, sealing the fact that it wasn't a coincidence.

Then, the water surface a few dozens hundreds meters away away from them started bubbling visibly as if some creature lurked beneath it.

Kai immediately remembered a rather bad memory of his. The bubbling of the water surface was similar to that time when he had to fight a Kraken and almost got himself and Eva killed. But, this bubbling phenomenon seemed inherently different from the one he saw before.

The first difference was the size, this one was incredibly bigger than the other one. It was at least 10 times its size which meant that this was a bigger or monster or something completely different.

The second difference was the shape of the bubbels and their rhythm. In simple terms, they didn't seem like the bubbles coming from a living being and rather from a machine of some sort.

After all, they followed a perfect tune that Kai could immediately discern. That made Kai suspect that they were about to see a monster. And, as always, he was right on point again. The loud noises grew stronger and more frequent.

What emerged from the sea was not a monster nor a living creature for that matter. Instead, a giant structure manifested above sea level. It looked akin to a gigantic tower, that pierced the sky.

Its walls were made out of shiny stones and at the top of it was a giant ancient hourglass with sand slowly trickling down to its bottom.

"What the hell is this?!" Kaya's mouth hang open as her eyes traced the massive cyclopian structure. She didn't even know what to think at that moment. Aria had the same reaction albeit a little lighter.

As for Kai, he simply had a strong frown on his face. 

As seconds passed, the tower kept rising higher and higher, already exceeding the tallest building humans built. It didn't seem like it was intending to stop. However, eventually, its growth stopped and giant amounts of sea water fell down in the form of rain on everything within at least ten or so kilometers radius from the tower.

The trio were also hit by the strong rain which led them to covering their faces. 

When the rain stopped, they looked again and at the base of the tower, barely above sea level was was a closed gate made out of dark material that Kai couldn't quite identify.

"What is seriously wrong with this place?! I can't understand anything!" Kaya rubbed the back of her head.

Every time she tries to piece things together whenever she gets new information, she will end up seeing a completely new and shocking thing that erases all the assumptions she built on her own.

They first had to jump through a hole that took them hours to reach its bottom. Then go through a weird tunnel that led them to a giant hall that had weird engravings on it that they couldn't read.

Then, they were trapped by the hall itself and thrown into this heavenly realm where they had to walk for days to reach its edge before they finally ended up facing this giant tower with an hourglass on top of it.

If a drunkard heard this story, they would feel sober in an instant with how ridiculous it sounded. Yet, it happened and now they were in the middle of it.
