Chapter 185: Devil's Remains [2/2]
"But I must also remind you. He is not to be taken lightly. Those of us who tried to manipulate him were almost killed for our disrespect. If you wish to remain in this group, be sure to behave accordingly. Today marks the beginning for us, I will see to it that the troublemakers are removed, am I clear?"
"Wow, Miss Yvonne kind of reminds me of you, John."
I looked at Scott with a dumbfounded look on my face, but before I could say anything, the other misfits expressed their agreement.
"Well, anyone on the other end of the boss's guns would find inspiration, I guess."
"Damn hombre, you even tried to kill little girls? That is fucked up."
"Nigga, just because a person has a hole instead of a pole doesn't make them any less dangerous."
"Looks like the young miss has learned a lot from you, John," Joshua commented in passing.
"Oppa, I'm bored. When do we hit something?"
"Just hold on a little longer, Gela, you know John, right? When he starts to move, we get to kill a whole bunch."
"Okay. Oy white boy! We going right?"
Hearing Angela's complaints, I am once again reminded of how different people can be. But as more and more pieces fall into place, the opportunity to change Hellsgate for the better has arrived.
"Yes, we will be fighting all night, Kimchi. Get ready."
Yvonne then introduced me to the leaders of the other holy guilds, I didn't bother to remember their names because I didn't really care. I just wanted to get this done as quickly as possible.
I called Yvonne to the side and asked her in a low voice.
"Yvonne, what I am about to tell you is secret. It cannot come out of the Saint Division. Do you trust these people enough to share it or will it just be Golden Wick?"
"Patron, I know some of them, but they also have connections outside. For the secrets, I recommend only Golden Wick, and when the other guilds start earning substantially, then we can judge their loyalty."
"Heh, so I already have Golden Wick's loyalty?" I joked.
"Yes, Patron, when no one believed in us, only you trusted us. Because of you, we have a chance to change our fate. Aisha told us what she had seen that day. After reflecting with the others. We feel that your words are true. So we intend to fight with you until the end."
"Very well, for the next round of blessings, let everyone except you participate."
While I was just asking for fun, I received a serious answer that I didn't expect. It could have been some words I said in passing, but the fierce glint in Yvonne's eyes told me that she was serious.
Golden Wick ate the Stamina Soulgears, and in a few minutes, the LLG Saint Division was back to full strength. After that, I handed out the bullets I wanted to be blessed with, and seventy-one of them blessed bullets of various calibers.
"Alright everyone, well done! Limitless will pay you 1,100 souls each before the end of tonight. Do not worry about getting another commission next week. Patron requires massive amounts of blessings, so rest up and contact me when you are ready for another blessing. Dismissed!"
Tired and exhausted, the Saint Division staggered out of the altar rooms with happy faces. It seemed they were all worried about getting another chance until next week. Yvonne really knew how to handle them; she even added a hundred souls to their wages.
'Ugh, doesn't that mean I have to make 79,200 souls just to get the blessings back?'
After the other saints left, only Golden Wick and the misfit group remained. I let them all enter an altar and locked the door.
"Okay, everyone here is considered trustworthy. What I am about to show you will not leave this room. Understood?"
Everyone nodded, so I began my demonstration.
"{Save}."
I pulled out a 1911 and emptied the clip into my limbs and stomach. The people all freaked out, but I motioned for them to stop. As they watched me vomit blood, I walked to the other end of the room and called my {Fate}.
"{Rewind}."
I disappeared and reappeared at my save point, healed and holding the 1911. I threw the gun at the misfits as I explained.
"This is my {Fate}, it is called {Rewind}, it allows me to save my state and then return to that state at will. It removes any debuffs or injuries and restores my stamina and ammunition."
"Patron, by stamina you mean..."
It was excellent that Yvonne immediately understood what I wanted her to do.
"Yes, Yvonne, let us see if your stamina for blessings can be abused with my {Fate}."
While I was giving my blood to Yvonne and explaining {Auto} and {Save}, the Misfits were also discussing my fighting ability.
"That's why we never ran out of ammo. Hombre is like a walking arsenal."
"But that doesn't explain how he can pull things out of thin air? His guns are not Soularms."
"Or how the boss has eyes in the back of his head."
"White boy also can throw very big sticks!"
"Or how the nigga can fly like Iron Man."
"Wait, what? He flies?"
"No he doesn't, John, he just falls like everybody else."
"I am telling you niggas Limitless can fly."
I then faced the misfits as Yvonne began to bless another round.
"I have other things I want to share with you. After this, we will discuss how to fight as a group. Phillip should already be processing your application to join my army."
I then summoned my entire arsenal and gestured to the misfits.
"For now, choose the weapons you want to use for the night. We can decide on your permanent gear you want tomorrow after we talk to Phillip."
When all my guns were called to one place, the guys all looked satisfied and started to check the weapons. Although such matters were cumbersome for what I wanted to accomplish, I had to endure it.
"Hopefully we will get worthwhile results."
