Chapter 35: A king with a strong queen

"Argh.... that hurts, you bitch." 

"Oh, does it? Wonder if this will hurt too!" Ella said rubbing salt on the palm, the spot she peeled the skin of the leader of the Red Hawks, hopefully the real leader.

After days of tracking, finally she could get hold of the 'Pierce', leader of the Red Hawks. 

Although Red Hawks' career ended in the underground world too soon because of Ella, Pierce had quite the reputation of being cruel and stubborn. 

He was never to back down, even if he knew death was certain. It might be because of that attitude, he is going to die young in spite having the talent to rule the underground world.

"So I heard that you like to torture people just like me? How about we see who is better at torturing? If you scream every time I do something, I will get points, and if you don't, the point will go to you." Ella said, taking out the hammer from her black box.

"Hah! You think you have what it takes to—"

"Ahhhh!!"

"One point. Wow, didn't think it would be that easy." She chuckled.

A few minutes later, Pierce was fully covered in blood with some fingers missing, and every time he screamed, he felt like his throat was ripping apart from the amount of pressure on his vocal cords and the surrounding muscles. 

"You know you got to stop her V. She will turn into a maniac if this goes on." Shell said nudging V who was clearly enjoying the show. 

"Just a minute. I have not seen this side of her, so pleaseeee?" V showed Shell his box smile, showing his dimples on each side. Shell just shook her head giving up.

"Listen so called She-devil, I think I actually like you. You know that V of yours has gotten old, making you do all the dirty stuff. Why not join me and be my queen instead? His era has ended anyway." Peirce managed to say still coughing out blood.

"I am impressed by how cocky you are even in this situation but listen, I belong to V just how he belongs to me. And the reason I am doing this dirty work is that we rule together and you triggered that side of me that no one should have. Actually you gave me an idea, why don't I cut that tongue and peel off all your skin and see if you can still talk." Ella said, taking out two knives and a peeler. 

"Let's get to work then." She said, punching and stabbing one of the knives at Pierce's hand, making him groan, while taking the opportunity to grab his tongue and pierce it with a nail so that she could grab it and ensure the tongue does not slip.

But before anything could proceed Shell pushed V towards Ella making her fall out of her trance. "What are you doing?" V mouthed to Shell.

"Just do it." Shell said before going out of the room.

"Hey baby-boo. It's already time to go pick Krihyung up and you got to clean up too so why don't you let me finish this quickly?" V said taking a gallon of gasoline and splashing it all over Pierce and lighting a match stick while throwing it towards Pierce. 

"You fucker. You will pay for this." Were the last words of Pierce before a loud scream of pure anguish and agony was heard. 

"Why did you do that? I was just getting started." Ella frowned.

"We have to pick up our son," V said taking her by her waist and making her walk with him before taking a last look at the still burning dead body, with a smirk on his face.

'Never mess with two things: a wounded lion and a king with a strong queen fighting by his side."
