Omega Summoner

Chapter 398: Being Slapped

The screams that echoed that night at a certain subdivision were not heard by the surrounding houses and guards. The guards did not show up because they were always told by the owner of that house to never come to his area at night. The neighbors are also located a bit further away from that villa, so the screams heard that night is distant.

Edison Torrio is currently inside his car with the flexors and extensors of his legs cut off perfectly. The cut was so perfect that he did not have excess bleeding. He is still in deep pain though as he screamed for his lackeys to get him to a hospital.

Edison Torrio managed to get to a hospital, but he could no longer get emergency treatment for his wounds. He got injected with so much pain killers that he could not feel anything from the waist down. Like what his assailant stated, she did not kill him but made him experience a terrible lost.

He was now currently thinking about how he offended someone like her. His lackeys are now currently investigating the scene to see if they could trace the origins of the assailant. He is rather nervous though as no normal person could do what was done to him. From his knowledge of the underworld, only the top brass could send a person like that to attack him.

”I do not remember offending anyone of them though. This must be personal vengeance. I will find where that bitch is hiding and torture her until I am satisfied.” Edison stated as he waited for the results of his lackeyʼs investigation.

He has already been inside the hospital for five hours now after the attack. His lackeys should already have results by now since his assailant left a dagger pierced to his thigh. He also requested help from a top brass he has close ties with so that the investigation would progress faster.

A few minutes later, a group came inside his luxurious hospital room. The one leading the group is someone he knows and respects, but he is also cautious why he is here visiting him.

”Pinuno!” Edison stated with utmost respect.

The name of the person was not Pinuno but it is more of a title for someone who is the leader of an organization. Lower brass members were not given the privilege to mouth even their leaderʼs name because that would be seen as disrespectful.

The Pinuno walked all the way to Edisonʼs bed and slapped him right in the face. Edison became shocked and even scared because he was always treasured by the Pinuno for his money-making abilities. According to his memories, this was the first time that the Pinuno ever treated him this way.

”Do you know the offense that you have made?” The Pinuno asked but Edison could only stay quiet as he did not know if he ever committed one. Edison would always weigh the options whenever he committed things like arson and kidnappings.

”I am sorry, but I do not know what offense you are pertaining to. I would never do something that would damage the organization. You know that I am someone that cleans his tracks so that it will not be traced back to me.” Edison argued but he was once again slapped.

The Pinuno then gestured for the box that one of the men with them is carrying. He then pulled out a blade that is very familiar to Edison. He then plunged the blade right in between the legs of Edison that is heavily covered in bandages.

”DO YOU KNOW WHERE THIS BLADE ORIGINATES FROM?!” The Pinuno asks in a grave tone and Edison knew that if he answered wrong then he might be floating with the fishes next.

”This was the blade that my assailant plunged onto my thigh.” Edison nervously answered.

At this point, the Pinunoʼs anger reached a boiling point but he contained himself. It was not in his character to lash out like a wild beast. He believed himself as a more dignified person than that.

”You made enemies with a group far more dangerous than any of the underworld combined. Did I not teach you to the groups that you should never offend?” The Pinuno asked with his voice radiating irritation.

”You only told me about two groups to never offend which are the military and a certain secretive clan. Do not tell me!?” Edison stated as he suddenly realized what the Pinuno was hinting at.

”You offended someone from that certain clan and now your state is the proof that they exacted their revenge. If this rolls over to the group, then I will not hesitate to serve your head to them just to save us from damnation.” The Pinuno stated.

”But I did not offend someone from that clan. I have made sure to always have the identities of the clan in mind. You know that I am not one to be careless.” Edison argued despite his face swelling from being slapped.

”Then how do you explain this blade? Only they leave this blade as a reminder to never exact revenge or else your fate will become far worse. Since that person did not kill you but left you lame for life then that only means you made someone became lame as well.” The Pinuno stated.

”I have made a lot of people become lame as you know that we cannot always kill people because the aftermath would be messy.” Edison responded but the Pinuno once again slapped him.

”Reflect on this and do not expect reinforcements from me if they come to finish the job. You have brought this upon yourself. That clan is different from the military as they can wipe out entire gangs just because you stole a bag from a kid in their family.

They are the true rulers in this country as they are the ones to teach the military combat. Do not get revenge for your debilitation and let them see you live like that which might save you from getting killed. Also, do not see me for one year. No communication whatsoever.” The Pinuno stated as he walked away with his lackeys.

Edison could only bite his lip and curse the wind. His lab results also stated that he would be lame for ten years minimum. His assailant was so proficient in cutting that even current technology cannot cure him. Another reason to be mad is the Pinuno is basically telling him to back off for one year. That basically means that he has lost all trust that he built up because of one mistake.

”This will not be the end! I will get revenge whatever it takes!” Edison swore to himself but he did not know that will eventually lead to his doom.
