✔The Knight's Madness

TRIGINTA SEX

"Congratulations, brother. You almost wiped out Eastwood if it weren't for the drug we injected you."

I didn't miss the sarcasm in Evil's voice.

I know I deserve it.

Kaya siguro imbes na ipagtanggol ang sarili ko, pinili ko na lang sumandal sa sopa at huminga nang malalim.

Maya-maya pa, bigla siyang napangiwi nang inabot niya ang mug ng iniinom niyang kape. Alam kong dahil 'yon sa na-dislocate balikat kahapon. His body was still adjusting. I already healed him, of course. In fact, the moment I calmed down, I healed every single one of their injuries and revived the civilians I killed, those who can still be saved.

Kaya latang-lata ako kagabi at medyo tinanghali na rin ako ng gising kanina. My muscles still ached with fatigue, and I know it'll take some time to gain my energy back.

Tuluyan nang binasag ng bunso namin ang katahimikan.

"At kanino bang ideya ang buhayin ang mga patay nang serial killers?"

"Sa'kin."

Naningkit ang mga mata ni Evil. Nag-iwas na lang ako ng tingin. Alam niyang nagsisinungaling ako, pero mukhang wala na rin siyang lakas para ibuking ako. Instead, he slammed the mug down on the coffee table. I was almost certain that it left a crack on the fine glass. "Well, this is the highest form of stupidity, brother. Hindi na nga natin alam ang gagawin sa mga bagong EKT participants, dinagdagan niyo pa ang mga kalaban natin?!"

Kung tumatanda lang siguro si Evil, malamang high blood ang magiging numero unong problema niya.

"They're not our enemies, Evil," I retaliated. "Kapag napapayag natin silang umanib sa'tin, mas mapapadali ang mga plano nating pabagsakin ang Elite Killing Tournament. Mas malaki ang tyansa nating manalo. We have an army of killers at our disposal!"

"That is if they don't dispose us first."

Magpapaliwanag pa sana ako sa kapatid namin nang biglang lumapit si Joker at pasipul-sipol pang naupo sa katapat naming upuan. Our eldest snatched the mug and drank Evil's coffee, just to spit it out.

"Pwe! Kadiri~! Hindi mo ba alam na naimbento ang asukal, bunso? This coffee should be fucking banned from the mortal world! Gagawa ako ng batas! Hahahaha! Ipaalala niyo nga sa'kin kapag naging presidente na ako..."

I rolled my eyes at him, "Wag naman sana. Baka mapaaga pa ang apocalypse kapag naging presidente ka."

The Joker's laughter filled the living room of Kleo's home. But once that died down, the tension returned.

The three of us stared at anywhere but each other.

"Narinig ko yung usapan niyo. And no, I don't fancy the fact that you used my insane little sweetheart to steal my staff, Knight." He glared at me. Pero ilang sandi pa, napabuntong-hininga na lang si Joker. "Having former killers on our side, huh? It's a crazy idea, indeed... but that's why I'll frabjously support it!"

Kung posible sigurong malaglag ang panga, sigurado akong ganoon na ang nangyari sa bunso namin.

"WHAT?! Nababaliw ka na ba?!"

"Hindi pa ba halata? We're all crazy here! HAHAHA!"

"Tsk. Ang akala ko ba wala kang pakialam sa mga taong 'yon? You and that girl were the ones who killed them in the first place!"
