"Envy already told me about that...you really want to wipe out all of Blackwater? It'll cause a lot of international uproar."

"Not that I have any hatred for them or anything, but they got into something they shouldn't" Shrugging with disinterest, Christian continued "Besides, we won't attack the bases where only management is done. We will simply wipe out their military force."

"What are you doing?" looking at Christian with frowns, Wrath asked as he saw Christian putting away his weapons.

Tucking his pistol under his suit, Christian put away his cell phone and replied seriously "I'll be the bait."

"What!?" Looking at Christian in disbelief, Wrath exclaimed.

"Blackwater doesn't worry me, those bastards are used to hunting, but the Chinese are different" Stowing his knives in his sleeves, Christian continued "The Chinese are arrogant, ranting and short on patience. It pains my pride to say this, but I fear in their next moves."

"If they can't get to me, I'm 100% sure they will target my close ones or do something damn crazy. I want to avoid that" Picking up a fiber wire on the table, Christian took his tie and stuck the wire through the hole in the center, leaving only a small metal grip on the outside "So I'll give them a damn chance and if I'm lucky, I'll finish off all those bastards."

"..." Staring at Christian in silence for a few seconds, Wrath frowned even more and asked "Have you thought about what you're wrong about the Chinese? What if they're patient enough to want to play with you? What if their intention is not to kill you outright, but to bring you hell on earth?"

"I get where you're going" Stowing the antidotes between his shirt, Christian continued "I know the Chinese in general, but these people who act like cultists... I know nothing about them, I don't know how they fight, I don't know how they act... I have almost no information about them other than their existence... that's why I have to confront them first"

"But they're coming for you!" Rising from the seat in exultation, Wrath shouted angrily "What if they kill you!? What if you can't fight them!? What if you're going to your fucking death!?"

"Wrath, listen to the following because I would not like to repeat it" Quickly approaching the redhead, Christian took her by the chin and spoke to her seriously while looking her straight in the eyes "There are times where not everything can be thought twice. There are times where we won't be in control of the situation and we'll have to take the damn risk to continue forward while walking along a fucking cliff!"

"And listen to me very well my beloved Wrath" Clenching his jaw a little tighter, Christian continued "I will never let my people take that fucking risk!"

"If anyone will take that risk it will be me, no one but me! You know why!?" Drawing his face even closer, Christian continued "Because this is what a man should do, this is what my father taught me and this is what I choose to do!"

Firming both of Wrath's cheeks, Christian pressed his nose to hers and stared into her eyes "I got everyone into this damn mess, and if anyone should take responsibility it's me!"

"So please don't hold me back, because it's a fucking insult to me."

Staring into each other's eyes as Wrath looked stunned, Christian sighed and gently kissed the redhead's nose "I deeply appreciate your concern for me, and believe me when I tell you it makes me feel loved and warm. But my heart is not as cold as I would like it to be, I would never feel comfortable sending people who trust me into situations where death is almost certain."

"This is who I am"

"..." Watching Christian's face, Wrath was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and broke free from the man's grip.

"Damn... You're always the same" Rubbing his hair in frustration, Wrath walked to the couch and lay down "In war you were just as stubborn and in civilization you're still just as stupid... you make me desperate."

Chuckling, Christian continued to equip himself and replied "I'm sorry I love you girls so much, it's unavoidable".

"Fucking asshole" Sighing in resignation, Wrath closed his eyes and continued "Fine, do whatever shit you want. But don't even think you'll be alone. I'll be with the whole team ready to go and you'll have a tracker on you at all times. If you don't do that, I vow to try to take you down right now even if I know I'm going to lose."

"Understood~" Smiling brightly, Christian walked over to the bag next to the wall and pulled out his sword hidden in an exquisite silver sheath with beautiful designs of intertwined flowers and dragons "I'll have the GPS active, I'll send a signal if I need help, but don't arrive if I don't ask for it."

"Fine... but what will you do to lure them?"

"I'll just go for a walk. It's already 1 a.m. and if they really want to kill me, they won't miss the chance" Taking the sword, Christian hooks it on his belt and nods, then turns to Wrath and smiles "I'm going, wish me luck."

"Just don't die"

"I have a lot to live for" Laughing happily, Christian opened the door to the room and stepped out, then walked down the hallways and reached the door to the outside.

Taking a deep breath, Christian closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again but this time with his vision changed to a bright purple.

"All set" Whispering in a monotone, Christian looked up at the dark sky and formed a smile on his face, then looked both ways and walked aimlessly through the desolate streets.

The walk was relatively quiet. Christian was dedicated to observe the houses with ancient and interesting aspects on his way, while the cold wind enveloped his body every second.

The seconds passed and turned into minutes, all in a silent tranquility, until...

Quickly bringing his hand to his suit, Christian pulled out a knife and raised it to the level of his face.

*Clang*

Deflecting the knife thrown from the darkness, Christian didn't think twice and threw his knife towards the same direction, then reaching into his suit and pulling out another 8 knives having 4 in each hand.

"..." Looking all around with absolute concentration, Christian waited for a few seconds and frowned slightly, then turned to the nearby alley and shouted in Chinese "Come out of your cave you damn rats!"

[A/N: I'd like to leave that sentence in Chinese, but Webnovel won't let me and it's really hard to write in the translator, as it never has the same meaning, so I'll leave the annotation of the language I speak]

"..."

But no matter when Christian shouted, only the sound of the wind and silence was his response, causing him to snap his teeth and put his knives away again.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Christian sharpened his senses and searched for any suspicious sounds around him, but as he expected, he failed to find anything.

"Do these assholes really want to play with me too?" frowning deeply, Christian walked towards the direction where he threw the knife and observed the drops of blood on the ground, causing him to smirk and comment "I still haven't lost my touch, how nice."

Turning his gaze back to the empty street, Christian waited for a few seconds and clicked his tongue "Apparently you're not the typical Chinese... I guess I was too prejudiced, my mistake."

Knowing that they would not try anything again for today, Christian took one last look at the place and left in silence, walking with complete confidence until he reached the hostel. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Looking at the numerous women in dark combat attire and carrying weapons of war, Christian sighed and waved his hand "Back to business girls, no blood will be spilled today."

Stepping forward towards Christian, Wrath asked "Boss, won't you fight?"

Although usually none of the 7 sins tell Christian 'Boss, Wrath knows perfectly well that the team she currently manages, don't know that she herself is one of the high ranking people. Something that was perfectly hidden under her mask during the meetings.

That's the wonder of Christian's little plan, to be able to work side by side with his people without them knowing they are in front of their leader. Although, well, he went outside that norm, all so they would know who is the highest authority in the place.

"They made a little game but they left with their tails between their legs, rest for now but stay sharp."

"Understood."

Not in the mood, Christian wasted no more time and walked back towards the main room, then sat down and started to remove the weapons from his body.

Entering the room, Wrath asked "Nothing really happened?"

"I was sneak attacked with a knife to my head, but they escaped quickly, although I did manage to wound one person."

"You look upset."

"I'm used to quick fights with quick results" Laughing bitterly, Christian continued "In the war, we went with a clear objective and it all ended with all the enemies dead... nor did we do anything like this... it's so tedious to have to think about these bastards"

"They attack whenever they want and it hurts my pride quite a bit to be treated like a damn rabbit they can hunt whenever they want" Shaking his head, Christian continued "I'd like to go out and hunt them personally but I don't want to alert the hornet's nest yet, we have plans with Envy and I have to wait"

"I told you they wouldn't be impulsive" Looking at Christian with disdain, Wrath continued "We don't know anything about this hidden group from China, but not for nothing was it kept hidden. They must have big brains and big skills to be used as hidden cards."

"I know..." Sighing, Christian continued "I guess I lack experience with this kind of games... I always prefer to plan every detail and then go for the hit directly, no playing with the prey."

"That's because you have absolute confidence in your abilities and those around you... not to mention that by planning so much, you know you will win... the case of the Chinese is something completely foreign to your experience. You don't know who they are, you don't know what their skills are, let alone what their plans are" Looking up at the ceiling with a bored face, Wrath continued "I still think this type of mission is more useful for Envy. She likes to play with this style and would know how to respond appropriately."

"And you think I don't know that?" raising his eyebrows with interest, Christian asked.

"Of course you know, I don't doubt your intelligence" Laughing, Wrah continued "But I also know how you act. You hate politics, you hate tediousness and you hate wasting time. On missions you were always direct and never went along with Envy's tedious plans, infiltrating enemy bases or similar crap."

"You may know how to do it and how to act when they do it to you, but that doesn't take away from the fact that you try to force everything into your methods, something that won't always work. You know that someday you'll end up being dragged down and you won't even be able to defend yourself."

[A/N: It's amazing how time goes by.

Before I knew it, I already completed a year uploading this story.

700,000 words

2600 pages of Word.

And a whole lot of experience accumulated.

Honestly I feel quite nostalgic thinking about my beginnings and how the story developed little by little. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Sleepless nights and sleepless nights where I was having fun every second.

I won't deny that today, I am quite stressed and a bit bored of my own history. Not because I don't like the story, but because of the fact that writing the same story every day becomes repetitive and boring. Many times I thought about just giving a random ending to this story and ending it all right now, but when I remember how much I've been through and the different support I've had along the time, it makes all negative thoughts fade away and keeps me here until today.

The story is already close to its end and after this I should start its sequel, something I've been planning since day one and I'm certainly eager to start.

But well, leaving aside the ramblings, I want to thank everyone who has accompanied me during this long journey and I want to remind you how much I appreciate the support you have given me.

Thank you so much for everything!]
