Rigoletto looked at Ray's mask and commented. " It suits you. "
" You think so. I can become a superhero with this mask. " Ray said.
He looked at Mason and ordered. " Take out the gun. "
Mason walked to the back of the car and took out the laser gun. Rigoletto's eyes shined as he saw the gun.
" Quite large. "
" I can make it smaller. It is just a prototype. "
Rigoletto nodded and commanded his man to lead. They all walked inside the building. The dusty hallway, needles everywhere.
Ray covered his nose. He didn't like the smell here.
After a few turns, they reached the centre. It was a basketball field. Ray noticed dried blood on the floor.
' Must be the work of Daredevil. ' He thought to himself.
Rigoletto ordered Mason to give the gun to his man.
" Felix, fire the gun toward the wall. " Rigoletto ordered. " I want to see the laser capacity. Testing on the weak object wastes our time. "
Felix nodded and grabbed the gun. He professionally used the gun and aimed at the wall.
" I just need to trigger this button right? " Felix asked.
Ray nodded.
The energy was channelled from the core and ran through the gun. It transformed into a laser and shot out.
Instantly pierced the wall.
Rigoletto's eyes squinted and then smiled. He changed the smile into laughter.
" Haha. "
" That is great. If we have this kind of weapon, no other family will be challenging my authority. "
Ray ignored laughter and looked down at the core. He felt the warm and smiled.
The core was absorbing negative energy in this building madly. According to his calculation, the core will be full in the next fifteen minutes.
It was not fast or slow. Perfect speed in Ray's words.
' I will set up the tower to gather negative energy around the city. I can finally throw away my energy problem. Now I just need to focus on creating stuff. '
Ray noted his plan inside his head. He got another two days to work. Then he will rest.
Felix looked at the destruction he just caused in fright and said, " This is some Ironman shit. "
" Easy, kid. We don't want to overthrow Playboy. " Rigoletto lit up the cigar and smoked.
You could see his wide smile under the smoke.
" What do you think? " Ray asked.
" It is perfect. Now, we just need to produce this in mass. " Rigoletto answered.
Felix turned around and aimed at Ray with his laser gun. His frightened gaze was turned into a cold one.
Rigoletto cursed seeing his man pointing at Ray. " What the hell are you doing, Felix? Drop your weapon. "
" Sorry, boss. I am leaving the gang. " Felix said in a low voice. He never stopped his aim.
Mason on the other hand was pretty shocked by this change. His sort of role model was turned into his boss.
" Why? " Mason asked.
" Mason, stay out of here. I will invite you to the five families. I will get a good position if I hand them this weapon. We are going to be rich for life. " Felix yelled.
Mason remained silent. Felix yelled louder.
" Dom't you get, Mason. Rigo is useless. He has no ambition. He wouldn't be able to lead his family like others even if he had this weapon. "
Felix smiled as he deepened his thought. He was right. He observed Rigoletto. He knew the core of that man. Weak and coward.
"Come with me, Blank. You don't have a choice. I can kill you. We can crack this technology. I heard there is someone like you in Five Families. "
Ray frowned. He was upset not because some random guy was threatening his life. It was because he claimed there was someone like him.
' They can crack my weapon? MY WEAPON? '
Ray stared into Felix's eyes. They both stared at each other.
One was crazy and filled with ambitions grander than his life.
While the other was filled with ideas. Plans. Plans for how to turn human brain waves into energy. But eventually, he got bored with the plan.
Ray looked at Mason and asked. " Choose. "
His words were clear. The moment Mason heard R'say's words, he realised something.
Felix had chosen the wrong path.
Ray nodded and muttered. " Explode. "
The laser gun lit up in blue light. The metal part fell onto the ground and changed into a flat iron. It emitted a force shield around Felix.
" What is going on? " Felix smashed the gun to the blue shield. It bounced back.
Ray snapped his fingers for dramatic effect.
Everything inside the foreshield exploded. Black smoke covered and the force field was extracted into a small dot and disappeared.
Felix was dead. He vanished from the world like this. Like an insect.
Everyone looked at Ray in shock. Someone just died without a struggle.
" I will send you a blueprint, Rigoletto. " Ray said in a flat tone.
" For what? "
" For the gun. You need to clear your men. " Ray advised.
Rigoletto wiped out his sweat. " You are right. I really need to clean up my family. Flink just tried to kill me as well. "
Rigo looked at Mason and patted his shoulder. " You chose the right family, kid. Come one. Let go. "
The two groups parted away.
Mason drove the car quietly. Ray tapped the window in rhythm.
" Are you upset with me? " Ray asked.
Mason looked at Ray through the mirror. What saw was a bored face?
" If I am being honest, yes. You just killed my saviour without remorse. I know I am new to this business but I have seen real dead bodies. People died. But not like this. "
Ray turned his gaze back to Mason and asked. " Like what? "
" Without feeling. People killed each other for a reason. Some kill others with anger, fear or greed. You could neutralise the threat, right? "
" I can. "
" But you chose not to. There is no reason for you to kill, Felix. "
Ray smiled. " It doesn't matter. He is going to die either way. I just speed up the process. "
Mason sighed. " I see. "
" You are not going to revenge for your ' Saviour'," Ray asked.
" No. It is stupid. I don't want to risk my life for someone. " Mason answered.
' Yeah, I don't want to risk my life. '
Ray chuckled. " You got a spirit. "
