Chapter 63: The Executioner Explodes
"If Beelzebub saw this, she would burst out laughing!" Abaddon and Belial were always bickering like an old married couple.
Hearing Abaddon's words, Belial charged at him, "Don't make me go against family!"
Beelzebub had already arrived at the outskirts of a meat processing plant on the edge of Florida from San Francisco. This was no ordinary plant; it was the base of Pix's henchman known as the Executioner.
Rumor had it that the Executioner was the mastermind behind Florida's black market organ trade. The plant housed numerous doctors, not there by choice but by force. These doctors were compelled to harvest organs from kidnapped victims under the Executioner's watchful eye.
After some playful banter, Belial and Abaddon arrived outside the plant. They hadn't seen Beelzebub and the others, which meant they must have already infiltrated the plant.
While Beelzebub and her team engaged the enemy directly, Abaddon and Belial stealthily slipped in and found the imprisoned doctors.
"Who are you? Don't kill us! We've done what you asked!"
"Who are you people?"
"I don't want to be your puppet anymore!"
"Don't kill me!"
The doctors, terrified, thought their time had come. Some, weary of their forced participation in these atrocities, were ready to die.
"Just kill me! I don't want to do bad things anymore!"
"I'm here to save lives, not take them!"
"You scum, I'd rather die than work for you!"
Belial quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, we're here to rescue you."
"Do we look like Pix's trashy henchmen? We won't harm you. Trust us."
The doctors, still wary but slightly relieved, calmed down a bit. Belial and Abaddon decided to sabotage the plant's equipment to create chaos, then use the distraction to lead the doctors to safety.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the operating room, Beelzebub faced the Executioner. He was holding a gun, threatening a doctor to remove a girl's organs.
"Quick! Take out her organs! We can't waste such fresh meat!"
The girl on the operating table, not even under anesthesia, looked at the Executioner and his team in terror.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"
"I was already heartbroken, dumped by my boyfriend. Why are you doing this to me?"
"Please, let me go! I know I was wrong!"
But the Executioner wasn't listening. The two surgeons reluctantly moved their scalpels towards her chest.
"We're sorry. We hope you don't encounter us in your next life..."
Just as they were about to proceed, a loud crash echoed from above.
"BOOM!"
The next moment, a figure wearing a Reaper mask leaped down. It was Beelzebub!
"Who are you? How did you get in here?"
Beelzebub, seeing the terrified girl, was appalled. "How could you even think of harming such a girl? Are you even human? You're trash!"
Hearing a female voice, the Executioner sneered, "Oh, so anyone thinks they can kill me now? They sent a woman? You're courting death!"
He began pulling the trigger, his eyes filled with malice. The Executioner was more concerned about his expensive, sterile operating room, now compromised by Beelzebub's entrance, turning it into a breeding ground for bacteria.
He aimed to kill Beelzebub but didn't expect her to be so adept.
"So, you're Pix's third-ranked henchman, the Executioner?" Beelzebub taunted.
The Executioner laughed coldly, "Oh? Realized how formidable I am now? It's too late! You should have known, seeing me means your death is imminent!"
But Beelzebub was unfazed. "I just asked. Not everyone knows you. You look like a pig. And you call yourself the Executioner? More like a butchered pig."
The Executioner, never so insulted, snapped, "You're dead! Besides Pix, no one's more formidable than me!"
He thought killing Beelzebub would be easy, just another woman after all. But as they faced off, Beelzebub checked her watch.
"Our leader will be here soon. I have to greet him. Chatting with you was fun, but it's time to kill you. See you in the next life."
She charged at the Executioner, who fired his gun but found Beelzebub vanished in a flash.
"Where did you go?!"
Beelzebub leaped from above, "Can't see me? Having trouble with your eyes?"
Her small stature and speed made her a blur, impossible for the Executioner to track.
"Who are you? How are you so fast? What's happening?!"
Beelzebub, appearing behind him, placed a hand on his head.
"Goodbye."
His head exploded.
"Mission complete."
