Hitman x Wives

Chapter 48- Bloody Night

*Crack*

After seeing Kaya off, Kai stretched his limbs, making a crips cracking sound before he turned around and walked toward his room, followed by his newly acquired cat.

"Meow!!"

"Hm? What?" Noticing how the creature kept running around him happily, Kai was confused as to what it wanted.

However, when he opened the door to his bedroom, the cat instantly ran inside and jumped on his bed before it purred happily. Kai watched as it sprawled on the bed as if it was hers and then closed her eyes.

"..."

For some reason, Kai didn't find her actions annoying so he simply shook his head and turned off the lights before he lay down on the bed next to the cat. His eyes looked at the ceiling for a few moments before shifting to the cat when he noticed her rhythmic breathing.

"What an odd creature…" He murmured to himself.

The fact that it didn't get scared of him still bugged Kai. Animals weren't sane creatures so when Kai uses his presence to scare them, they instantly comply and run away or listen to him. However, this particular one didn't even show a sign of fear toward him even though he directed his dark aura right at her multiple times.

Even the strongest of hitmen couldn't handle his aura for a long time.

"Prrrr…" The creature purred suddenly and then got closer to Kai before she rested her head on his arm and continued sleeping soundly. So, Kai patted her head a few times and then closed his eyes before he drifted to sleep too.

*Unknown time later*

In the middle of the night, a few silhouettes moved through the alleys nimbly as they approached the apartement complex where Kai lived. The way they made sure no one could notice them was proof of their high skill.

"Pfft! This will be easy money. We just need to kidnap a highschool kid and get him to the Charlamagne family." One of the 10 or so hitmen said with a nonchalant expression.

"Shut up and focus! Didn't you see how scary that man named Gabi is? If we fail to do the job perfectly, he might skin us alive for fun!" Another retorted as they continued moving.

"What's there to be scared about? It's just a kid. I still don't understand why this requires ten of us. I alone should be more than enough. Besides, why this kid precisely, the other ones were sent one hitman each to kidnap them."

"Who knows? Gabi said that ten of us should take on this mission because 'He doesn't trust that we won't necessarily fail because we are completely useless'." One of them replied as he gritted his teeth.

"Tsk, looking down on us! That bastard! Just because he is one of the 100 strongest hitmen in the guild, he thinks we are trash?"

"Hey, it's those top 100 we are talking about? They are all a bunch of freaks of nature and Gabi is number 34 amongst those monsters. He can easily erase us out of existence if he wanted to."

"We need to move. The night isn't that long."

After that, the ten hitmen vanished as they finally reached the apartement complex and climbed nimbly till they reached Kai's window.

Looking inside, they saw him sleeping on his bed peacefully. So, without making any noise, they opened the window and then jumped inside.

One of the signaled to the others that he will approach the kid. The others nodded and waited.

*Step*

Taking slow steps, he made sure not to make noise. He was sure that if the kid woke up and saw them, he will scream or yell which will make the other people in the building wake up. He wanted a clean and perfect job.

When he was very close to the bed, he noticed something. Two extremely mesmerizing blue eyes were staring at him in the darkness like two azure lamps shining bright in the dimness of the world.

'A cat? Shit… Don't make noise now, little thing.' The man clenched his teeth as he tried to not surprise the cat. However, the latter did exactly what he feared the most.

"CHHHHH!!!" Screeching loudly, she glared at the man angrily. Then, she jumped on top of Kai's stomach as if she was trying to tell them to stay away from her owner.

The man's face frowned as he quickly looked at the sleeping boy before he sighed inwardly. He didn't wake up.

'We are go-' As the guy was about to touch Kai, the latter's hand suddenly sprang into motion as it moved like a flash and grabbed the man's head. The man felt his whole skull shudder in pain from the pressure that the hand exuded on his face. Then, Kai pulled him down, smashing his face on the edge of the bed's frame.

The hit was so strong that it bent the wood. Blood splurted from the man's head as he fell down, unconscious. Then, Kai quickly jumped on his legs and dashed toward the closest hitman, and kicked him in the face, destroying all the teeth in his mouth. Then, mid-air he caught one of the teeth and then threw it with extreme speed toward one of them.

The teeth were thrown with such power that it was basically a bullet. It easily pierced the man's throat, cutting his vocal cords before he could say anything.

Then, Kai's silhouette vanished and he appeared in front of another and shoved his fingers into his throat, severing any possibility of him making a sound.

All of this happened in a split second, 4 men were down, drowning in blood. The others were so shocked that they couldn't even believe their own eyes. What… What the fuck just happened?!

However, even through their shock, they were still professional hitmen, unpredictable situations were something they had to adapt to even if they were confused. So, without hesitation, one of them pulled a gun and aimed at Kai with a tense expression.

He didn't get what happened and he was beyond shocked. But, he knew his goal, get this boy back at all costs.

However, before he could fire a shot, Kai vanished again like a ghost and appeared in front of him.

"The fuc-"

Grabbing the gun with one hand, Kai destroyed the 'slide' of the pistol and then shoved it in the man's throat.

The others already moved and tried to surround Kai before they also pulled out their pistols. With a cold expression, the boy looked around him in a flash, analyzing all the possibilities of the situation and how it could turn out before he grabbed the destroyed pistol and emptied the magazine in his hand.

Then, he threw all the bullets at the same time, each one aimed at one person. The speed of these bullets far exceeded even that of a pistol. So, they instantly reached their targets and severed the vocal cords of every one of them.

During all of this, not even a sound was made. Even if someone was deliberately trying to eavesdrop on Kai's room, they wouldn't be able to hear a thing.

"Fuuh…" Exhaling a long breath, Kai looked around him coldly as he destroyed the pistol in his hand and threw it to the side.

"What are these people doing here?" He murmured to himself before approaching one of them and pulling him up. Then, in a moment, he read all of his memories.

"Gabi…" Kai's face frowned slightly as the image of a man appeared in his head.

He knew Gbai very well. In fact, he was one of the very few people from the Guild that caught his attention. That man was a complete maniac even amongst the bloodthirsty hitmen of the Guild. He wasn't human at all.

"So he wants to hit the Lavine family in their weak points to break their spirit. His methods never change. He targeted the other students too. Tsk, this is annoying." Kai knew that if all the students were killed, his normal life won't stay normal anymore. He will be suspected of their disappearance since he will be the only one that survived this ordeal. When that happens, who knows what the authorities will try to do.

Murmuring so, Kai was about to walk toward the door when he noticed one of the men he hit with the bullets pull the gun up and aim it at him.

'Tsk, he's gonna make noise. I can't let Kaya hear anything.' With no other choice, Kai's hand moved like a flash as he pulled something from his pocket. It was a small, sharp razor he always had with him in case such a thing happened. Then, he threw the blade at the man, piercing his head. Instantly, the hitman slumped down as even more blood gushed out of his head… He was dead.

"Fuck…" At that moment, Kai's face darkened slightly.
