Chapter 200 - Ch. 200 The Tattooed Guy
In one of the prisons in a small country, a criminal was exercising his muscles by using a horizontal pole connected from one pillar to another.
This person had shoulder-length hair with a striking red color. There was a tattoo of a red snake on his left neck with an open mouth that stops just below his jaw.
Both hands and well-defined body muscles formed by years of training make him a formidable fighter.
Even though he heard the sound of footsteps approaching his cell room, this red-haired person was still training his muscles as if he wasn't afraid of people coming.
"Master Raffetto, you have a visitor."
Raffetto released his grip on the post that was two meters above his head and landed with a loud stomping sound.
His eyes were uncommon because it has a rare golden yellow color, plus his huge body makes him like a hazardous person.
Even the prison guard was intimidated by this guy, and he would have run away if this cell didn't have a bar.
"Who?" inquired the tattoed man with a cold tone and piercing gaze as if he was a cobra ready to bite its prey.
"It's… Mister Allanach."
An eyebrow raised before Raffetto snorted sarcastically. Why is Hades IV looking for him?
Raffetto took the criminal uniform from his bed and draped it over his shoulders carelessly. With leisurely steps, he followed the prison guard into the meeting room.
A crooked smile crossed his face as he realized the prison guard would occasionally glance back. Even a child could see this man afraid that Raffetto would strangle him from behind and kill him right then and there.
By the time they arrived at the meeting room, which was no bigger than the corridor of his prison room, Raffetto could see an older man who had an ugly scar on his left cheek.
Raffetto sat across the man without his clothes on. And he didn't care about the look of disdain that filled the man's eyes.
"Why are you looking for me, Hades? Do you intend to increase my brackets?"
The Hades looked straight into Raffetto's eyes without any fear and didn't care whether the young man was shirtless or not. "It's the opposite. I plan to reduce your sentence."
There was a dangerous and exciting glint in the young man's golden eyes. "Do you want me to kill someone?"
"You are indeed his disciple that he is most proud of. That's right. I want you to kill someone and make it look like an accident."
"Who is your target this time? He's unfortunate to have offended the Hades."
"Kaylee Zouch."
Instantly Raffetto's body tensed upon hearing that, but he hid his expression well.
Kaylee Zouch? Wasn't that girl the daughter of the previous Hades?
"The reason?"
"Do I need a reason to get rid of someone? After all, you used to want to kill her."
Raffetto gave a sarcastic laugh in response. "It is true. But it was too easy for me. Bring her back to Folkland Island, and she will surely die without me doing it."
"Her father would never bring her back. She has lived in New York and is about to marry into the Blacks. Before the wedding happened, I wanted her dead."
The tattooed man placed his elbow on the desk and rested his chin on his knuckle while giving a crooked smile.
"What are you afraid of, Hades IV? You've got the title you wanted, and the previous Hades won't bother you. Why do you insist on killing a little girl who doesn't have any power? Ah, is it because of Rothbert Zouch?"
"…"
"You're afraid that man will return to town and plan to take your position from him. After all, his only weakness is Miss Zouch. Tsk, tsk, tsk." chuckled Raffetto with a scornful look. "You are no better than the previous Hades. At least there's nothing my mentor is afraid of. He has the power to protect what he has. But you don't have that power."
"Don't you want to get out of this place? Aren't you afraid I'll increase your punishment?"
"Do as you wish. I have no interest in doing ant work. If you have a more challenging target, I'll think about it." without waiting for Hades IV's reaction, Raffetto got up and went out to return to his cell.
When no one saw his face, the crooked smile that had been adorning his face disappeared in an instant until there was no trace.
'Kaylee Zouch,'
Hades IV wants Kaylee dead? Did that mean he decided to attack the previous Hades?
If that man was terrified of Rothbart's existence, why not just get rid of him? Why attack a little girl who knows nothing?
Raffleto's footsteps stopped when he remembered something. He just remembered… Kaylee isn't a little girl anymore.
She must have grown into a fine lady by now.
'Her father would never bring her back. She has lived in New York and is about to marry into the Blacks.'
The little girl is even getting married. Raffetto touched his chest because he felt strange when he heard the news of the girl's marriage.
He couldn't help but remember his last conversation with Kaylee nine years ago.
"So… with me like this, you don't like me at all?"
"No. I don't like weak people."
"Then… why did you protect me from those people and ensure my safety. Because I am the daughter of your mentor?"
"It was one of them. But the main reason is that you are Roxy's sister. I don't want her to be sad to see you hurt."
It was their last conversation before Kaylee went to Europe to catch up with Roxy, who ran away from an arranged marriage she didn't want.
At that time, Hades III wanted to increase his power by joining his father's organization in Italy by binding marriage. Roxanne did not need to run away because even though Raffetto often told everyone he was pursuing Roxy, he would never agree to this marriage.
Raffetto had just put on his clothes when he returned to his cell room because he wasn't sweating anymore. Then he lifted his pillow and saw a small photo where a girl was there.
The photo is an image of the real Kaylee and not Roxy. He looked at the picture with a gentle smile he rarely showed others.
'I hope this time you find your happiness.'
