Chapter 210 Killing the Grain Merchant
After a day of rest, Raphael resumed his role as the "serial killer."
This time, he doesn't plan to kill quietly like before, but instead prepares to create a sensational serial murder case.
Hugh and Fors had already chosen his first target: Ed Dean, one of the four major grain merchants in Rune.
Raphael conducted a brief investigation and found that, given the soaring grain prices, the grain merchant was well aware of the potential danger and had hired six or seven extraordinary bodyguards, including one Sequence 6. He had also donated a large sum of money to the Church of Storms, securing the VIP protection of the "Punishers."
In short, a normal serial killer would never approach such a target.
But Raphael is different. With his top-tier equipment, he wouldn't be in any danger even if he failed to kill his target, let alone a Sequence 6 opponent, as long as there was no opponent at the demigod level.
Of course, Raphael wouldn't be so foolish as to rush in and kill people. If he did, those extraordinary bodyguards might hide their weapons and it would be troublesome if they couldn't escape the battle for a while.
So, after making some preparations, Raphael still prepared the sacrificial ceremony first.
The object of the sacrifice was the first high-ranking demon who had shown him the corresponding symbol by candlelight.
This sacrifice was a one-on-one one. After the high-ranking demon gave a certain response, Raphael immediately used "travel" to go to Ed Dean's villa in the suburbs.
This villa is less than a two-minute drive from the Storm Church's cathedral; if you were a "Wind-Cherisher" or "Ocean Singer" who could fly, you could arrive in 15 seconds.
It can be said that this grain merchant was quite alert, knowing that someone was watching the grain in his hands.
The bodyguards in the villa patrolled the yard constantly, and Raphael also noticed some sentries secretly observing everything in the yard from inside the villa.
Inside the villa, the lights were on, and Ed Dean and his family were having a meal, with seven or eight bodyguards in the dining room.
Raphael smiled slightly. He didn't rush to make a move, but quietly waited on the rooftop of a villa in the distance for Ed's family to finish their meal.
But after the meal, someone suddenly came to visit Ed, and the two talked in a small reception room.
The conversation lasted for two hours and was still not over.
The whole of Backlund gradually quieted down. The bodyguards in the villa continued to patrol at the same level as before, but there were hardly any people on the streets.
Raphael felt the time was right. His black leather gloves suddenly became thicker, and he used the "traveler's" spirit to avoid everyone's sight and enter an empty room in the villa using the ability to "travel".
Then, using his abilities of "wriggling hunger" and "hiding in shadows," he became ethereal, merged with the shadows, and walked within them.
At this moment, Raphael was only slightly darker than the darkness of a normal night. He walked openly on the outer wall of the villa, and the bodyguards patrolling outside did not notice him at all.
He did not show any malice, so the extraordinary bodyguards did not notice anything unusual for the time being.
Raphael listened outside the window for a while and heard Ed discussing with another person about continuing to drive up grain prices. That person was another major grain merchant, one of the four major grain merchants in Rune.
Raphael smiled to himself, thinking: This is a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
He observed the room again and saw that there were only two extraordinary bodyguards. The fewer people who knew about this conversation, the better.
After thinking for a moment, Raphael decided to use "Adam's Gift" to hypnotize all four people in the room at the same time.
The "Hypnotic Ring" can only hypnotize a single target, but the "Adam's Gift" at Sequence 4 can perform "area hypnosis".
The two bodyguards were both Sequence 7s, and they were completely powerless to resist this level of ability.
This was actually a bit of bullying, but Raphael didn't feel any psychological pressure. That's how the extraordinary world is: if I have something you don't, then you can just die.
Raphael "flowed" into the window in shadow, his figure appearing as he reached out and twisted the head off one of the extraordinary bodyguards, then reached out and pulled out the heart of another Sequence 7.
The two extraordinary beings fell to the ground and died in a daze.
The grain merchant, being an ordinary person, remained dazed and showed no signs of breaking free from the "hypnotic" state.
Raphael took out the short knife he had prepared beforehand, and was about to cut open the major blood vessels in the necks of the two grain merchants when he suddenly had a better idea.
So he put away the dagger, and the nail on his index finger grew long, like a steel dagger.
He first cut open the skin and flesh of Ed Dean's left chest, broke the ribs in front of his heart, and removed them.
The intense pain roused Ed Dean, but Raphael used his frost powers to freeze his vocal cords and several large joints.
This caused Ed Dean's muscles to struggle desperately, but he couldn't move an inch. His eyes were wide open, filled with fear.
Raphael smiled gently and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm very familiar with the structure of the human body. I won't let you die too easily."
"Despair, fear, tremble, ha ha ha ha."
As Raphael spoke, he repeatedly slashed open Ed's heart.
In an instant, the reception room was filled with blood. Ed trembled all over, feeling his body temperature rapidly draining away.
At this moment, another major grain merchant also woke up. Raphael used the same trick again, freezing the other man's vocal cords and several major joints. He struggled desperately, but only managed to tilt his body slightly.
Raphael straightened up: "Alright."
Ed had a large hole in his chest, through which you could see his heart, which was beating desperately. Raphael had carved three letters on it with his fingernail, and blood was flowing rapidly from the marks of those three letters, soaking the sofa Ed was sitting on and the ground beneath his feet.
Raphael turned and slashed open the flesh of another grain merchant.
dong dong dong~
Just as they started to break his ribs, there was a knock on the door.
Raphael asked, "Who?"
He imitated Ed Dean's voice, which he could easily mimic since he learned ventriloquism. Then he used "Adam's Gift" to dull the senses of those outside, preventing them from smelling the blood.
Outside was the Sequence 6 he had invited. Only after hearing Ed's voice did he say, "Mr. Dean, I feel there is some danger in the villa. I suggest you hide underground for the time being."
"Okay," Raphael said. "Wait ten more minutes, we'll be done soon."
He glanced at Ed Dean beside him. Ed was almost bloodless by now, and his eyes were glazed over as he looked toward the door, as if to say: You're too late.
The Sequence 6 member answered and stood outside the door to wait.
But for some reason, the longer he waited, the more restless he became. After a few minutes, he knocked on the door again.
But this time no one answered.
thump~
The Sequence 6 man kicked the door open, but was immediately startled.
The carpet inside the door was soaked with blood. Two large grain merchants sat on the sofa with sinister smiles, quietly watching the doorway.
They were dead, but their expressions seemed to want to take everything away from anyone who entered the room!
The Sequence 6 man glanced again at the painting on the wall painted with blood and the two Sequence 7 men lying on the ground, then immediately turned and left.
He was a wild Extraordinary, and he knew very well that even if he hadn't committed such a major crime, if he didn't leave now, he would definitely be taken over by official Extraordinary individuals later.
