Chapter 55- Undead (Part 1)

"W-What the fuck did you say?!" Trevor yelled anxiously as he glared daggers at Kai, trying to determine who he was.

Since Trevor has never been able to reach the threshold of the top 100 hitmen in the Guild, he didn\'t have the opportunity of meeting the Black Phantom on one of the Red Rose Days. So, even though he heard rumors about him, they were all in the end… Rumors.

"I-Is my daughter, ok?" Markus asked as he heaved up and down when he realized who the person behind the mask was, he relaxed visibly. He knew this person very well.

"She\'s alive," Kai replied coldly as he pulled out his gun and aimed it at Trevor.

The latter\'s face crunched as he readied himself for the attack. Instead, what happened shook him to the core.

Kai\'s silhouette suddenly vanished from his sight and reappeared again, a few inches away from Trevor with the gun aimed straight at his skull.

\'W-What?!!! When did he…\'

"W-Wait! This is a duel between me and Markus! Why the hell are you intervening?!" He asked.

"..."

"You must honor a duel or that man will be considered a disgrace to the Guild. That is how things work! If you kill me, it means that he is a coward that can\'t accept defeat."

When he saw that Kai didn\'t pull the trigger, he grinned inwardly, thinking he had tricked the mysterious person in front of him. However, all the things he said were simply nonsense he came up with to stop Kai from killing him.

While it was indeed true that duels are an honored ritual in the underworld. However, that is only for those who value honor when fighting to death. However, many people don\'t see it that way and Trevor was one of them.

\'Honor?! Psst, what the hell is that? As long as I can win, that\'s what matters!\' They all think the same way.

So, while Kai was still motionless, Trevor\'s left hand was moving ever-so-slowly as it did something suspicious.

"Now, get out of the way and let me finish him off."

"... Sigh…" Sighing, Kai put down the gun.

"Hey, wait! Young man! Don\'t listen to him! He doesn\'t care about such antic-"

*BANG*

Suddenly, a loud gun sound echoed in the old factory. Markus\' eyes blinked confusedly as he noticed Trevor falling down. A bullet had pierced his skull and exploded inside, turning his brain into mush.

"I\'m not a hitman," Kai said coldly, as he looked at the dead corpse of Trevor with an emotionless gaze. This was the second person he killed tonight.

"..." Markus was completely speechless. How could he not be when he couldn\'t even see Kai\'s hand move and pull the trigger? Such a speed was beyond imagination!

*Step* *Step*

Meanwhile, Kai tucked his gun back and walked toward Markus silently. His white mask with the stitched mouth drawing on it looked even more ominous under the faint light of the moon.

"Thank y-"

"You aren\'t fully healed. Don\'t move recklessly." Kai cut him off as he was about to leave.

"Hey, wait! Are you… that Kai boy?" Markus asked.

That question made Kai look at him again silently. The sheer pressure of his gaze turned Markus nervous. Even behind the mask, his unfathomable purple eyes seemed to be as sharp and as domineering as ever.

"Some questions are better left unanswered, Mr. Markus, or I will be forced to get rid of you just like I did to him," Kai said.

His words were chilling cold and devoid of any emotions, sending a chill down Makrus\' spine. However, when he thought about them carefully, he realized something.

Kai didn\'t deny the fact nor did he need to. After all, if Markus tried to use his identity in a bad way, Kai will plant a bullet in his head. However, he was certain that Markus wasn\'t a man who would willingly reveal the information of someone who saved his life.

Besides, Kai knew that Eva would never allow her father to do anything that could harm him and if a clear threat from the Black Phantom himself didn\'t do the job, then surely an angry Eva was intimidating enough for the man to not do anything stupid.

As the two stared at each other, suddenly, a silhouette appeared behind Kai in a flash and sent a flying punch toward his face. Markus saw that and his eyes widened in shock.

"Boy, be careful!!" He yelled loudly.

However, by the time he finished his sentence, Kai had already moved and blocked the attack. His body was pushed a few meters away from the impact.

\'Strong.\' He thought as he felt slight numbness in his hand. It wasn\'t anything painful but it still surprised the boy. When was the last time someone was able to inflict any degree of pain on him? Even he doesn\'t remember.

His eyes then shifted to the culprit and that was an even bigger shock. It was none other than the man he had just killed, Trevor.

\'Hm? Did he dodge the bullet? No, I can\'t sense any pulse… He is dead.\' Kai thought calmly as he analyzed the man.

Trevor\'s body looked rigid and abnormal. It was as if every muscle in his body was contracted which made his posture look bizarre. His face was arched down, but Kai could see the blood still dripping from his forehead where the bullet penetrated it.

However, the most noticeable thing was his eyes. They were completely white with no pupils at all. He was akin to one of those undead creatures in movies… A Zombie.

That alone was enough to surprise Kai. An undead? How is that possible? Reviving a dead person was impossible even for him let alone other people. In fact, even the most advanced of minds were still stuck on how to make all humans acquire Origin powers.

\'No, this doesn\'t make sense… He isn\'t alive. His mind isn\'t working either, he is just a brainless puppet. However, how did he become like this…\'

No answer came to mind from a mere look, Kai needed to check the body himself.

*Swish*

As the two stood like that, the undead creature suddenly lunged at Kai.

\'He\'s even faster than before… By a lot.\'

"RAAA!!!" Screeching inhumanely, Trevor smashed down with his fist.

The ground cracked violently, making Kai jump back a little. However, Trevor didn\'t stop there and continued to run after Kai while punching and kicking everywhere. His attacks were horrifying, to say the least.

Even Markus could notice the sheer difference between this man and the one he fought a few minutes ago.

"What is going on?" He murmured as he watched the brutal fight occurring in front of him with widened eyes.

Meanwhile, Kai was racking his brain to understand what was happening. He didn\'t want to kill his target yet since he was very curious as to what made this man wake up from his eternal slumber and gain such immense strength.

His silhouette kept moving around, as he dodged the man\'s attacks easily. Even with the boost, Kai didn\'t find the fight hard.

But as it stretched from seconds to minutes, Kai grew annoyed since no matter how much he analyzed Trevro\'s body, he couldn\'t notice any abnormality. He was a dead man through and through and yet he was moving.

"Tsk… No choice." Without any other choice, Kai decided to end this fight.

So, he instantly, halted his movement before he quickly dashed toward Trevor. The latter didn\'t have time to react to this sudden shift of events as he found himself about to be punched in the abdomen.

*BOOOOOM*

With one punch, Kai blasted Trevor away with a loud noise. The man\'s body smashed against the wall of the factory, destroying it in the process.

"...!!!" Markus\' mouth hung open in pure shock at what he saw.

At first, seeing Kai only dodging, he thought the young man was unable to fight back and was getting overwhelmed but in a mere split second, he turned the tables… Overwhelmingly so.

\'What… kind of monstrous strength is that?\' He asked himself.

"Young man, what happ-"

"Shhh. He is still moving." Kai said as he watched the cloud of dust rising from the spot where Trevor landed. Although a punch of that strength would\'ve rendered his organs into a mush, Kai could still see him moving, as if nothing happened.

\'Damage doesn\'t work on him. Well, it\'s predictable considering that a bullet to the head didn\'t have any effect.\'

Immediately, Kai realized that he was fighting a monster that didn\'t get affected by injuries no matter how severe they were.
