Chapter 498: Should’ve Left Town Forever
[HAWI]
It took around twenty minutes for the entire Russel army to be reduced to bones and limbs that didn't have any particular owners. They had been ruined, to say the least and the perpetrators were proudly covered in blood and body clots.
"That was epic," Rukiya said as she looked at the mess they had managed to cause. It looked like the prettiest photo for them and they didn't mind having memories of this, especially with the tech they had in Sicario. But was that all there was to this?
"You people are the devils," Alex forced out when he realized that it was just the two of them left of the Russel army. They had hoped to defeat the wolves but then the psychos entered the chat and they had been reduced to this.
The warriors in question were still on the other side of the barrier and they looked like they would have nightmares for at least seven hundred years to come.
It was truly a good thing the civilians weren't here to witness this madness, because there was just no way that they would ever be able to explain to the locals that the crazies had done this for the sake of the pack they loved with everything they had and didn't have.
It was a crazy time for them but they had been used to it.
"We've been called worse, Russel. Now now, what should I do with you two, huh?" Hawi asked Ash's stare at Sebastian who was visibly shaking.
If someone told her earlier that the Russel brothers would be like to someday because of Hawi, Hawi would have called a bluff. But then it was no longer a bluff.
This was a reality that was fucking with them and Hawi loved every bit of it. This was what they had wanted and they had got it. There was no point in fighting their fate, right?
"Get it over with then," Sebastian said and Hawi let out a laugh as she stared at the brothers who were standing like the world was playing a long game with them. But then again Hawi didn't give a shit about the brothers.
She would kill them and she would do it in the worst of ways. That much at least was certain anyway.
"Warner?" Alex suddenly said, making everyone look at him like he was bonkers for mentioning the one name that could surely get them all eliminated at this point.
They hadn't seen Jeremiah Warner for months and years now, and it was not something that they expected, squally here, on this day of the realm.
Jer was the one person who knew when to disappear and with the Russels defeated he surely had to have been smart enough not to be on the battlefield, right?
"No fucking way," Mbali said, her laughter making the Russels nervous and the warriors excited though worried about what was going to happen.

They knew what the Savasci knights would do and they knew that Jeremiah Warner was the one person who would ever be allowed to see the light of day, ever again.
It was something that had been hard for some to understand, and when they finally understood the things that were happening in Sicario, they could only ever wish all the enemies of the Savasci knights a good ride to the afterlife or hell.
Whichever way, those were the only options that they would ever get on this day of the realm anyway.
"And here I thought stupid people were over when we murdered the last of the Russel warriors," Malika said as she stared at Alex and Sebastian. She wasn't sure what the fuck was going on right now but at the moment this was golden.
"Warner! There's no point in playing dead! They already smell you, now get the fuck up and keep your promise to Atticus!" Alex called out and Jer groaned as he got up from the pile of dead bodies he had stuffed himself under.
He looked pathetic., like he had just realized that the universe was filled with fucktards who couldn't find their place in the world. This was not what anyone wanted for themselves, but Jeremiah was strangely motivated.
With the magic Atticus had left him, Jer cleaned himself up, going the extra mile to clean up the blood of the Savasci knights and the Russel brothers.
It was almost like he was suddenly allergic to blood when all his life he had been a pawn in a game that had always had blood lingering around. Perhaps Her was forgetful but he damned if he thought he could win against Awuor Hawi.
"Gee fine. At least now you all look presentable. What was that about the battle and debt owed to Atticus?" Jer asked proudly as he stared at Hawi who was staring amusedly.
She had seen Jeremiah in every shade and she had known more about the man than he even knew of himself. She had everything to bring him down regardless of what he tried to do and right now, however important Jer wanted to think of himself as, he wasn't.
He should have figured that out already for the moment that Alex called on him to fulfill the promise he had made to Atticus. It was a mad man's errand really and the sooner he figured it out, the sooner he could probably save his life.
"You look good, crazy pants," Jer said to smirking Hawi who wasn't even the least bit surprised about this her face was emotionless save for the knowing smirk on her face.
She looked like she knew what Jer was going to do next and when Jer charged at her with a full-blown rage, Hawi smiled sinisterly, making Malika's heart beat in worry.
This was the first time that Malika was getting worried for Jeremiah Warner, the same man she was bound to kill if it handed to Hawi wanting him alive. She didn't like him, no.
She knew what he would face was worse than what Hawi had put him through in the dungeons two years ago. It was a game with the worst of all creatures and Jeremiah was a loser by default when it came to Hawi.
Perhaps that was also why Hawi didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
The Savasci knights on Hawi's side of the barrier were watching with blank faces as they waited for Jer to have his ass handed over to him, for the hundredth time by the same woman. Surely a man had to know when to give up, right?
"Looks like we have a party to keep going," Rukiya said, snapping Mbali and Malika back into action. They could have stopped and watched Hawi and Jer, but then Hawi wasn't even bothered, so they figured they could keep fighting the Russel brothers.
"Anyone ever told you never to go back to your murderous ex? Or are you confident because of Atticus's powers?" Hawi asked blankly.
Jer was punching her with all of his might, however, for Hawi, those punches felt like she was being squished by the softest teddy bear. She didn't feel shit and she was actually amused by it.
"Has anyone ever told you how unhinged you are?" Jer asked as he kept punching Hawi even running his word through her, but Hawi was just standing amusedly and unfazed, another thing that got the warriors beyond the barrier truly scared of Awuor Hawi Sicario.
"All the time, Jeremiah," Hawi said with a creepy smile.
