Hitman x Wives

Chapter 52 Chapter 52- Sword Heaven

Chapter 52- Sword Heaven

Gabi's chuckles caught the attention of the Lavines and made them look at him warily. They knew that such a laugh meant that he wasn't completely done.

"You guys are truly admirable. A family of top-notch hitmen. You don't stumble upon such a thing every day. However, you all missed an important thing."

After saying that, he clicked his fingers. Immediately, tens of silhouettes jumped inside the house from all the windows around them, surrounding the family quickly.

"What… Where did these…" Eva's face turned serious when she noticed the sheer number of hitmen that just appeared out of nowhere. They even exceeded the number of the ones that invaded their house!

"Did you really think those idiots were the real hitmen? Hahahahahaha! Come on, Evangeline, I thought you were smarter than that." Gabi laughed mockingly which made Eva frown even harder and look at one of the lying around them, dead.

With a simple examination, her eyes widened in shock.

"Mercenary… These are mercenaries." She murmured.

"Uh, hiring those idiots did take some time but since I knew this will happen, they were worth the time since it grouped you four together," Gabi said. "Hey, old man! Are you not going to make an appearance?"

"Tsk, shut up, Gabi! I'm coming." Trevor said as he walked out of the corner with a menacing expression on his face.

'Wait, Trevor is here too… Didn't Kai say that he was heading toward the Charlamagne family.' Seeing that man here, Eva's mind was confused but then she understood what happened a second later.

Gabi had tricked them, including Kai! He most likely told the people that he sent to Kai that Trevor was going to stay in the household just in case. This would lead any potential support the Lavines could get to never arrive at all because they were heading in the completely wrong direction!

However, how did that bastard think of all of that? Eva didn't understand. Why would he go out of his way to try and trick her classmates? There was only one possibility…

When Eva's thoughts reached that point, realization dawned on her. Gabi… was suspecting that the Black Phantom is one of her classmates. In fact, since he sent 10 people toward Kai particularly, she understood who she was suspecting.

However, Eva can't let him realize that so she made sure to quickly get back control over her emotions. The last thing she will allow this bastard to know was Kai's identity, that's something she would even put her life at stake just to keep a secret. Kai must live his life however he wants.

'I must kill them all here before the situation gets out of hand.' She thought as she started channeling her Origin, ready to unleash her true powers.

However, at that moment, Trevor stepped forward and yelled.

"Markus! You piece of shit! Come and fight me head to head like a man! Let's settle it man to man if you have the balls!"

Gabi's face turned cold as he stared at his father.

"Hey, old man. Shut up and let me deal with this."

"No! I will make sure to kill Markus with my own hands or I won't be able to calm down."

"Leave your stupid pride aside, old man. You gonna ruin my plans."

"I said shut up and move aside, Gabi! You have no right to stop me from getting my revenge myself."

"Sigh… Dumbass."

On the other side, Markus had a grim expression. He wasn't scared of Trevor at all. But, seeing the tens of hitmen around them, he couldn't let his family face them. He was worried sick.

"What do you say, Markus?! Do you dare?!"

"..." As Markus was about to refuse, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Accept, Father," Eva said coldly.

"Daughter, what are you sayi-"

Suddenly, Eva's Origin channeled throughout her body. Everyone looked at her with a surprised expression. Was she going to attack?! That would be suicide. Even Eva can't fight all these hitmen all at once. They weren't just some weak mercenaries. The fact that they could use Origin was enough to make Eva not underestimate them.

However, instead of that, Eva's Origin kept rising and getting stronger at an alarming rate which made Gabi's casual expression change slightly. He felt it in his guts, something was wrong, there was a variable in his plan that was about to occur.

"Attack her, now." He ordered the hitmen and they immediately complied.

Instantly, all the hitmen attacked the family from all angles. However, that didn't make affect Eva's expression as she calmly raised her hand in the air. The orange aura around her intensified as her beautiful red eyes shone with mesmerizing light. For a second, all the people there felt as if they were in the presence of a goddess that descended upon them from the ethereal realm.

Her presence, her aura, her appearance, they all became so divine that even her family could only watch with their jaws dropped from shock.

"Sword heaven." She murmured as she pointed her arms up.

Instantly, a weird holographic circle appeared on top of everyone present. The circles were orange colored too with weird runic words surrounding them. From a closer look, those runic words were eerily similar to the ones that Kai saw on Selina's stomach when he healed her.

For the first time since his appearance, Gabi's face completely shifted showing sheer shock.

A moment later, from those circles, swords appeared and descended on the targets. Before anyone could react, the swords pierced their skulls. For a second, the whole corridor was covered with a rain of swords of all kinds, shapes, and forms. Some looked old, some looked new, some were traditional, some were extravagant and some were simply out of this world, with designs that no one had ever seen before.

In a few seconds, corps fell down to the ground with blades protruding out of their skulls. Blood soaked the corridor completely as quietness took over the place. No one dared to speak or to be more precise, no one could even speak.

The first to react was Selina who looked at her dear daughter with a shocked expression. She knew Eva's main talent which was the Blade Talent that allowed her to create blades out of thin air. However, as far as she knew, Eva could only form those blades in her hand.

"Eva… You… Did you move to the next level in your talent?" She asked in complete disbelief.

Eva's eyes shifted to look at her mother before she smiled warmly. The memory of Kai's Origin power surging through her body returned to her head.

"Yes!" She replied. "I achieved…"

"Runic domain…" Gabi finished her words before she could say them. His tone sounded flabbergasted.

The Runic Domain is when an individual reaches a certain mastery over their talent that allows them to evolve it to the next level. Usually, that comes in the form of a domain control just like what Eva had just done.

From being restricted by the fact that she can't create blades unless they were in her hands, she now was able to create them in a precise area around her which allowed her to instantly kill all the hitmen in one single motion. A feat that should've been impossible in normal cases.

'This is bad… I never expected her to have already achieved Runic Domain this quickly. It shouldn't be possible with her young age. Even I still didn't achieve that. What the hell happened?! How did she do it?!' Gabi wrecked his brain for answers yet nothing came to mind.

His plans were just pushed to the verge of failure in mere seconds and he could do nothing about it.

"O-Oi, Gabi! What the fuck?! Didn't you know that she had achieved Runic Domain?!" Trevor asked with a frown.

"No shit, idiot. Why would I know that? It should've taken her a few more years to pull that off in the best-case scenario!" Gabi replied as he glared at Eva.

"You truly pulled something that I never expected, Evangeline. How did you learn that?"

Eva smiled at his shocked look and then said coldly.

"It required a lot of 'Mind your own business'." She said as she stepped forward.

"You insects had enough fun. You not only toyed with my family for years but you also annoyed me greatly! I will make sure to erase your lineage this very night!" Her aura grew colder which made Trevor flinch.

"Listen, Old man. Do you still want to fight that Markus?"

"Huh?!"

"Do you want to, yes or no?"

"Y-Yes! Of course!!" Trevor nodded. Anything that would get him away from here would be optimal. He didn't want to face the monster in front of him that was Eva.

Gabi nodded before he smiled at Eva and said.

"How about this, Evangeline? Since you seem eager to kill us. Why don't we make a deal?"

"A deal?"

"Yes, let's fight. Me against you and the old man against your father. A battle to death." Gabi said with a wide grin. His eyes shone with an excited glint. He never expected this night to turn this exciting this quickly.

However, Eva shook her head and said.

"I'm already planning to send you both to hell. I want more. What are the stakes?"

"If you win. All the Charlamagne family properties, wealth, and everything they own will be transferred to you and if we win, the same happens to you. What do you think?" Gabi's tone was confident.

"Oi, Gabit! What the fuck are you even saying?!" Trevor yelled.
