Part 7

     The rich man I killed(5 days after Richard fainted again) was Mr. Morrison Daggas. Deathblade wanted him dead because Morrison killed some of Deathblade's associates who had sensitive information about a planned war which may occur if not stopped. It was obvious that Morrison was among the culprits, and so he must have found out and killed the spies before they could report back to Deathblade. Annoyed at this offensive attack, he chose me to teach him a quick lesson about life and death.
     As far as the Daredevil Squad was consigned, this might pose as a threat to San Francisco. Any sensible person who do what it takes to avert such a problem. In other words, we decided to hunt down all the enemies of San Francisco before the matter gets worse. Luckily, we attacked one of them in his home, killed his bodyguards, and murdered his children. Knives was the one who could be considered heartless when dealing with his enemies. In fact, he hated the words 'Mercy', as he said that to him it didn't exist in his dictionary. There were many things Knives did that made his name the most feared. Once he tortured a man by using a lighter to fry his balls; to another he repeatedly stabbed her; and to a fellow he killed his five children one by one. Knives grew up as a slave to a man who bought him when his dad couldn't afford to pay his debts. The man himself tortured Knives until Knives said enough was enough. He killed the man and his family, set fire to the house, and did the same to his own parents. Like I said before, Mercy(or forgiveness) didn't appear in his dictionary.
     The man we attacked had the list of all the members against San Francisco. Unfortunately, the others ran into hiding when they heard that the man and Morrison were killed by Deathblade. Deathblade wasn't worried about this, as he himself concluded that a rat doesn't hides forever. Something must make it come out, and when it does, then we'll strike. For the meantime, he and Erik continued to train me.
     One day Fred spoke to Erik.
     " Hey Erik, How're doing?", Fred began the conversation.
     " Huh? What do you want?", Erik asked, annoyed that Fred was disturbing him.
     " I just wanna asked y'all a question. That's all".
     " Speak if you must".
     " Its about Navada".
     Erik looked at Fred and answered with interest," Go on".
     " Don't you think she's a beauty?".
     " Of course she is Fred. What do you want from her?"
     Fred moved closer and whispered something into Erik's ear. The latter  jerked when he listened to the forbidden words of Fred.
     " What!", he exclaimed," Deathblade was right. Fred you're a corrupt fellow".
     " I'm serious Erik. I love her. Ever since she came here my mind isn't at rest".
     " Maybe the nudes you're fond of watching have affected your skull"
     " Call it whatever you like Erik, but you know love when you see it. In fact, I think she likes me".
     " I now know that Deathblade wasn't kidding when he said you're retarded in nature. How can someone you programmed not to have any feelings have interest in you?".
     " Listen Erik. I usually sneaked up on her whenever she's having her bathe. On this day she caught me and almost killed me. I was afraid Erik. But she let me go when she recognized me. Then I jokingly said that she should kiss me, and before I knew it, I felt the brightest kiss I've ever seen".
     " And then you went to dreamland and woke up like someone taking too much wine", Erik replied, laughing at Fred's face.
     " You know nothing about love", Fred said and then decided to end their talk," I'm going back to have another kiss".
     Erik laughed so hard he cried. Fred was feeling angry and then asked," Why are you laughing at me like this?".
     Erik controlled himself and replied," Because your so-called lover is with Deathblade in the State Capital to witness the arrival of Heaven's Ambassador on the contract of selling Blutonium to San Francisco".
     " What!", Fred exclaimed who immediately left Erik. Erik went to the TV and switched it on, so as to watch the event.
     Many gathered at the State Capital to witness this glorious moment. For the first time in history, Heaven decided to sell Blutonium to the world, starting first with San Francisco. Many world leaders were present in the occasion. Millions of people were watching this either at home or live. The whole world was watching indeed.
     Deathblade left me and disguised as the official bodyguard of our president. I stayed at a building, with my gun ready to shoot anybody who wanted to ruin the occasion. While the ambassador was addressing the crowd, something hit me in the head, knocking me out. Deathblade signalled for me and got a strange response from the voice he wanted to hear. He looked at the building where I was and saw me with a Bazooka. I aimed it at the ambassador and fired immediately. The missile went straight towards the gathering, while a cyborg appeared out of nowhere, moving faster than a cheetah, grabbed the Blutonium and escaped before the blast occurred.
