Ch. 67: The Losing Man (II)


    Perhaps Mr Anonymous should have been the number one on my agenda but I overlooked it, I cked off in that area and this happened.


    Just what happened to Prometheus? Now he was dead! I doubted they would believe me if I said he was ying mind games with me earlier and he even gave me a stinking eye m even after I refused. This was a possible worst case scenario, I swear I was barely keeping myselfposed.


    There was no way I beat them at least not in my current state. I hated how everything had to be resolved with violence, it was either someone had to die or the other. I was sick of it. "Zeus, stop them!"


    Zeus sighed and looked at me with a gloomy expression.


    "Lord Zeus step away from the criminal else you would bebeled as an associate to a master criminal. Know that we will also apprehend you regardless of your status in this matter." They boomed but I was sure Zeus would not budge. He was clearly a king who lived by his own rules.


    From the way things appeared they had no interest in my true identity, they were more upied with what I had done. "Huh?" I breathed out. "Did they say Prometheus died?"


    Dammit!


    Damnit!


    How the hell did that titan die in just a few hours? It was indeed strange. My heart beat faster in my chest as I gripped my chest even tighter, Mr Anonymous must have done this, he was an even greater threat than Poseidon and the circle ever was. Why did he want to defeat the circle of he was stronger? What did the circle have that he didn''t?


    My eyes widened as I realized it myself. Or is it perhaps because of the ck amber they possessed that he was cautious of them? Whatever his reason was, this defeat made me want to fight back again. It made me want to win this time.


    "This is yourst warning Lord of Olympus, are you willing to forfeit your position for such a trivial matter?" I found it rude how they referred to me as such a trivial matter, would Zeus really help me? "Fire!"


    BOOM!


    The tank defeaned my ear almost, I had forgotten how sensitive they were. I was going to be hit any moment now, the projectile exploded halfway to me. Just as I expected Zeus had stopped it with ease and it didn''t even leave a mark on him. The ten people dressed in ck overalls and tooposed for me to count that as mere overconfidence. Did they think they could take on Zeus alone?


    "You dare interrupt big brother''s big moment? Die!" Zeus was surrounded by the ten agents each wielding their own weapons, he managed to keep them all upied while disying a set of dangerous techniques my eyes could not follow.


    I could already feel my body dragging me down. I did not have long before I would be incapacitated.


    "How do you like it now? I thought you were going to destory me now look at the shape you''re in." Mr Anonymous spike to me through the drones hovering in the air.


    I raised my voice a little and spoke back. "I never knew you were one to brag."


    "Bragging is a measly term in endeavors of this aspect. I am merely proiming my sess over you in order to fully crush your spirit self."


    I did think that was bragging no matter how many ways he put it. "You haven''t won as started my heart still beats."


    "Oho, that is still a subject of question Mr god." He sounded well confident in himself.


    VRROOOOM!!


    "Huh?" A ck car came out from the street and sped over to me, "Now who''s it this time?" The car screeched to a halt before me bathing me in dust and smoke. The engine was still giving a gentle hum, the fight between Zeus and the Bai agency was still going on on arge scale so none of them had time enough for me.


    The door opened slowly and out of it stepped a ghost I never hoped to see again so soon. I did not know whether to feel relieved that she was here or not but she was hardly a threat to me at least.


    "Boy do you look so awful, never thought the day woulde. Sort of makes me want to even consider shedding a tear." She gazed down at me with crystal eyes, her voice filled with spite. "We should get going before one of them wins."


    I sighed. "You really are going to help me?" I spoke with disbelief etched in my voice.


    She gave a snide remark, "Well what do you know, I had a change of heart."


    "Hmph, don''t make meugh scumbag, you also want to see me in this state don''t you?" I said in a cold voice. "Must be making you happy ."


    She said nothing for a while before leaning over so close that she blocked the rays of light from my face, her scent filled my lungs and her starry gaze locked on mine. I could feel her warm breathing on my face. Had her hair grown a bit longer on the sidetely since Ist saw her.


    "Your eyes are bold, your breath is a bit shaky, your body is in a pretty bad shape but still you are a little too coordinated in my opinion. You are either good at hiding your true intentions or you are just that good at it."


    My eyes widened a bit, I think she said something simr when we first spoke to each other.


    She reached out and pried Hecate from my grasp and put her in the back seat before turning to me with her hand extended out. "I can''t let my only rival die here, so lets go "


    I formed a pale smile on my face and pped her hand out of my face. "Stop treating me like a dog Talos, I can stand fine."


    She did not hesitate to get into the car, I looked back, Zeus was still fighting. I had to get out of here and n my next step. "C''mon I know where we can lie low for a bit but I don''t like it."


    This was it, the beginning of the fall of Olympus...! And i was at the center of it all.
