Vengeance of the Returner

Her cold eyes that stared at others proudly had disappeared. Her attitude sure changed a lot thanks to Helina who worked for the whole night and day.

"Master Nix welcome!" Zariniel said with a warm smile.

Nix couldn't even fathom her three-sixty turn in attitude.

"Wait a minute... Who are youuu?"

"Master?" She asked, blinking her eyes a few times.

Unable to understand her complexion, Nix turned to Helina as though he was asking for an explanation with question marks in his head.

"Mind answering? You messed up! I asked you for something else and you've given me a fucking personal maid..."

Helina nodded her head and started to speak stutteringly.

"Wait... Lord Nix, I couldn't do anything much. I-I-I Tried my best... From what I understand breaking an angel's mind is extremely hard. She can only be like this for a few hours and then her mind will revert back to normal and when it does..."

"You can take it as a split personality. She is a completely different person for now. But this technique is also growing weak against her. Last night she lasted in this state for 6 hours and then it lowered to five hours. So I believe the next iteration will be four hours." 

"Oh, I see. This is such a waste. We can't use her as a decoy..."

He said and walked towards Zariniel, grabbed her by her chin, and said.

"Zari, Congratulations on becoming a fellow outlaw."

***

Next day,

"That's it man? We are gonna leave just like that?" Reegan asked with a smirk.

"Yeah? What's the problem? I have already collected the loot I took from Havenkat's business firm in my inventory plus, I don't have any space. Perhaps we missed anything?" Nix asked doubtfully.

No matter what Nix, was not an extremely intelligent fellow to tackle and successfully finish his first mission without causing any blunder as such he didn't have a proper plan to escape the city.

"Nah buddy, we're fine, Let's get going."

Reegan said and kicked the krigons.

Unlike Nix, Reegan knew how to drive so he was the one who took the driving. Mutinos could be the best option to leave the city but they were strictly banned from usage for outsiders in Ferandel. If they were to infiltrate they did possess the air force at their disposal in times of trouble similar to the other city.

But, well... Ferandel is quite the sternest city among the others. In any case, Nix decided to go out with a bang instead of sneaking out. The reason is simple. No matter what, the city tightened its security and went on a full-fledged investigation.

If he were to stay there for a few more days he'll unconditionally get captured. As the saying goes. 'Beat the iron when it's hot,' He chose to do it when he has the ability to do so.

After a few hours of traveling, they reached the city's gate. At first, he had the idea of letting Zariniel go but, if he did that he'd be in too much trouble. Plus he wanted her to taste the struggles of an outlaw regardless of any motives just because she was an angel.

Mostly there would be at least five soldiers at the best. But now there were almost fifteen of them. All they need to do is open the gate and escape.

"Sir, we need to check your IDs."

As a soldier said, Nix quietly jumped off the carriage and walked towards the security room.

He quietly unleashed his hidden blade gauntlet and pierced his spine stealthily when he was going through the display to check his mana frequency. Followed by that move, he pushed the gate opening button and walked out of the room calmly wearing his black mask, and entered the carriage, while signaling Reegan to take off.

"Zari, use your spells on the soldiers.

Just as the other securities began to suspect them. He ordered zariniel to use her light magic that shoots like Lazer while their carriage sped out of the gate. If you were to ask why she was obeying Nix, It was Helina's doing. The soldiers guarding the city wall by the top began to shoot arrows and breached an alarm. 

"Reegan, keep going. I'll take care of this."

Nix said and aimed his crossbow gauntlets on a few soldiers and began shooting. Indeed he is not someone skilled at shooting but, it was enough to tackle the meager soldiers. 

Anyway, he was injured a lot previously due to the assassination, and now this. But thanks to the healing potion he had with him.

By the time the soldiers tried to outrun them. They were already 200mts away from the gate.

"Hah, Nostalgic isn't it?" Nix asked with a sigh.

"Yeah, buddy..."

Helina just blinked her eyes unable to understand what both Nix and Reegan were talking about while Zariniel sat in a corner feeling high as though she took drugs with a weird smile on her face. 

"Master, can I sit next to you?"

Nix stared at Helina after receiving such a question from Zariniel.

"What the hell have you done? she is dumb and high as fuck!"

Helina couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Never have I ever in my life, Did I imagine that an Angel could be mind-controlled," Helina said. 

It was indeed true. No one tried to do such a thing fearing they may get cursed. Perhaps some may have done it. But, Nix forced her into doing it without fretting over it.

Well, whatever it may be. He is still in trouble about the black revolutionary part and the mess he made in Ferandel.

Ferandel is a big city, so there are many cases to be taken care of. But the only thing special about him is. He laid his hands on a member of the Royal council which is quite troublesome. He'd be getting tailed and there will be spies searching for the black revolutionary soon. Well, He'd be widely known as the serial killer instead of a revolutionary for sure though.

Soon, they reached Transgressors clan house after going through the nerve aching procedures to enter the city.

"Where is Cinzia?"

Nix asked the busty milf Yumeko.

"She is in her room, lord Nix," She said in a low tone.

For some reason, her face showed a worried expression as she is one of the calmest and brightest members of the clan.

"Ohh I see... Can you make everybody assemble in the hall in ten to twenty minutes? I want to see all of them."

He said and turned towards Reegan and drifted his attention back to her.

"This is Reegan, a friend of mine. Please show him a room to stay."

He said with a smile.

"Yes, Mr.Nix..." She nodded her head and eyed Reegan.

"uhmm, Hello Nice to meet Miss..."

Before Reegan could finish his sentence, she gave a warm smile and said.

"It's Yumeko Watashi, Nice to meet you Mr.Reegan."  and showed him to his room after bidding farewell to Nix.

Nix inwardly sighed and turned towards Zariniel who was restrained by his chains. She had gained her sanity back by the time they reached so it was necessary to keep a watch over her. The hypnotism Helina used on her was rendered useless at that point since she got accustomed to it.

"Sorry, Zari under some circumstances I couldn't let you go back. Well, you are gonna stay as an outlaw as I said."

He said indifferently and laid his hand on her waist gently and led her to the storage room.

Zariniel's eyes wavered and pupils dilated upon hearing it. She believed he'd let her go back instead he took her with him. It was seriously traumatic for someone who had lived her life leisurely.

"Zari, I know it's too unfair but, Listen..."

He said and stared at her eyes.

"I won't say I am a good man but that doesn't essentially make me a bad guy...I am giving you two choices. One makes up your mind to join me or choose to die. I can't let you go alive as it'd only bring me further problems."

"But...I am sorry just let me live."

She pleaded.

"I could break your mind but, I am not doing that shit.  It's all about your choice. Your kin didn't even let me have a choice while I am letting you choose a path. So, what do you say? Take your time. I'll be leaving."

He said and walked out of the room casually and locked it.

By the time he returned back to the hall the members of the clan were assembled. Some people were wrapped in bandages including Cinzia. Nix couldn't help but gawk at her body. He was certainly in a mood to fuck her up. Since the day he took a fine wine like Cinzia and Felishia he was more sexually addicted than his days on earth yet, he was also able to control himself from seeking random women to satiate his lust as a loyal man. Anyway, That was that.

After scanning the room Nix understood that everybody must have gone through a tough battle when he left. As they went on a mission in subjugating the soldiers and regulars.

"So alright everybody! I am officially back... I request you to restrain yourself from entering the storage room. I have an Angel as a captive there..."

"It's good to see you back boss!"

Gunther the only person who had a smile on his face said cheerfully.

Everybody was shocked after hearing it but didn't say anything and kept their mouths shut. Ignoring their complex expression on their faces, he scanned through the room he found one person missing. So, he eyed at Cinzia for an explanation. 

"Bulziey is dead. He was killed by an angel..."

She said hesitantly, feeling tensed that Nix would be furious about it since he was desperately in need of members.

'That explains why these people are injured to this extent.'

Nix muttered inwardly and gave a warm smirk at her and said.

"I am glad that we have more survivors...."

Cinzia was dumbstruck as she expected him to turn infuriated. Instead, he calmly replied to her. He was calm because he knew he had to accept losses and more than that Bulziey is one of the scums and an expendable pawn for him. He didn't have any attachment towards him, so he didn't find the need to be enraged about his death.

"Did you finish the reporting to Requiem?"

"I'll do it tomorrow morning. I need some rest right now."  He said, staring at Cinzia and turned towards Helina.

"You can go back to your clan house. I'll be reporting the mission."

"Y-yes lord Nix!"

She nodded her head and walked out of the room.

Cinzia furrowed her brows and stared at Nix for an explanation. 

"All right, everybody can disperse, we'll talk about things later on."

Nix said and took a seat on the couch. Cinzia gave a captivating smirk and sat close to him. Nix couldn't help but be compelled to stare at her cleavage. He was without sex for a week and had many things in his mind plus he really wanted to fuck Cinzia to relieve. 

Biting her lips she slowly grabbed his collar. 

"Did you miss me?"

"No..."

"Seriously? You idiot... You ruined the mood!"

She said and slightly patted him.

"Well, I am tired, what would you expect?... But after seeing you I am kinda into the feel right now..."

He said and slowly drew his hand inside her attire and grabbed her breast.
