Above the city of sin, the sky darkened as night time came. But unlike the outside world before the apocalypse, the difference between the day and night was almost non-existent.
Activities which would normally be performed in the absence of light due to the fear of the law, were performed during the day and night in the Underworld.
But, despite there being no 'law' in the Underworld, there were activities that were mainly carried out in the dark.
In a decrepit part of the outer area of the city of sin, a black hooded figure leaned against a wall with his hands in his pocket, his head raised and his black eyes gazing at the darkened sky above, a stark contrast from the sky in the outside world where one could gaze at the stars, while dreaming about becoming a star or someone important in the future.
The hooded figure with his back against a wall had an emotionless expression as he looked at the sky above, various thoughts running through his head, and for two minutes, the figure just kept on looking at the night sky, then he released a breath and pushed himself off the wall.
With his hands in his pocket, the figure walked out of the alley he was in and a cacophony of sounds flowed into his ears as he reached a T-junction. He looked around for a few seconds then he took a turn to the left, his figure mixing with the numerous men and women on the road he was on.
"Hey sexy, do you want to spend the night with me? I'm cheap and available."
A few minutes later, a woman dressed in a bra that left her nipples exposed and panties that left her pussy exposed, spoke with a sultry tone while gesturing towards the hooded figure as she moved her body in a seductive manner.
The hooded figure glanced at the scantily dressed female, then his eyes moved to the building behind the female where other scantily dressed females and even naked females could be seen, each either with a male or female, or each either trying to bring a male or female towards them.
The hooded figure without saying anything, ignored the female while walking away from the building, leaving behind a flabbergasted expression on the scantily dressed female.
"Quality cheap slaves are available for your every use! Buy three, you get an extra one for free! They can be used for anything!"
A female stood in front a large cage filled with men, women and even kids. With a whip in her left hand and a blunt in her right hand, the woman spoke with a loud voice as a few men, women and even kids watched the despair stricken slaves.
The hooded figure had a slightly surprised expression seeing the female who was in charge of the slaves, his eyes then went to the despair stricken slaves who were being bargained on by the men, women and kids in front of the woman.
The female had a calm expression on her face, not bothered by the crowd in front of her, and without addressing the crowd, she placed the blunt in her mouth, inhaled softly and a second later, an almost colorless smoke was emitted from her lips.
Her eyes moved from one customer to another, then her eyes caught sight of a hooded figure who was walking past her 'shop'. She observed the direction the hooded figure took and a strange light appeared in her eyes, but a second later, she shrugged, took another puff from the blunt in her hand and to the relief of her customers, she addressed them.
The hooded figure who already sensed the female slaver master's glance, had a calm expression and without looking back, he kept on walking with his hands still in his pocket.
As he kept on walking, his eyes moved, taking note of his surroundings, and just like he expected, he saw numerous other buildings where immoral and activities of debauchery took place. There were other places that had slaves on display, their futures meant to be defined by their future masters.
Apart from slaves… weapons, equipment and various other materials were being sold. The hooded figure even caught a glimpse of a combat ring which had quite a large crowd.
Just as the hooded figure was subtly observing his surroundings, he caught sight of two talking hooded individuals walking towards his direction. Although it didn't look like they had bad intentions towards the hooded figure, but from their body language and movement, the hooded figure had a 80% guess that they were there for him.
Without a change in his expression, his left eye changed and rapidly changing numbers, symbols and letters appeared in his eye, unseen by the people around him.
Around two seconds later, the hooded figure's left eye changed back to normal and with his expression not even having a minute change, he kept on walking with his hands in his pocket.
Around ten seconds later, the hooded figure reached the two white hooded men, but just as the hooded figure was about to pass the two hooded men, one of the men slowed down in his movement, and with a fast and precise movement, he brought out a knife and slashed it towards the neck of the lone hooded figure.
Already expecting such an attack from the white hooded figure, the black hooded figure removed his hands from his pocket at an extremely fast speed, and with a calm expression, he slammed the top of the white hooded wrist, causing the knife to fall.
The eyes of the black hooded figure glanced at the falling knife and with calm and extremely focused eyes, the black hooded figure moved his legs and kicked the handle of the falling knife with just the right amount of power and the right time, causing the knife to fly upwards.
Meanwhile the white hooded figure who was at first stunned by the black hooded figure's response, came back from his stunned state and was about to continue his attack, but just as he moved…
Bam
Bloodied broken teeth flew out from the white hooded figure's mouth and with tears involuntarily spilling out of his eyes, the white hooded figure's head moved back, his neck almost snapping from the force of the punch given to him by the black hooded figure.
Without waiting for the white hooded figure's response, the black hooded figure grabbed the knife which he had kicked, and with a calm expression, his hand moved, wanting to slash at the white hooded figure's throat, but…
Bang!
A gunshot resounded in the environment, and the pupils of the black hooded figure constricted slightly. With a slight turn of his neck, his head moved and just by a millimeter, a bullet pass by the head of the black hooded figure.
Without turning his head, the black hooded figure spun the knife in between his fingers and in the next second, he threw the knife towards the other white hooded figure.
"Gahh."
A soft gurgling sound resounded and with a slight turn of his head, he looked at the white hooded figure who had his hands around a knife deeply embedded inside his throat.
Thud
The white hooded figure fell, producing a soft thud as a result.
The black hooded figure turned seeing the fallen white hooded figure, but just as he turned, he raised his hand with his palm wide open, and a second later, a fist landed in his palm.
The black hooded figure looked at the white hooded figure and with an emotionless expression, he clenched his fists and a cracking sound emerged from the fist of the white hooded figure.
A groan escaped the lips of the white hooded figure and with the same emotionless expression, the black hooded figure strengthened his grip on the white hooded figure's fist, causing more cracking sounds to resound from the white hooded figure's fist.
"Please."
The white hooded figure pleaded as he knelt, a pained and fearful expression could be seen on his face.
But despite the white hooded figure's plea, the black hooded figure just had an emotionless expression and without saying a word, he strengthened his grip once again.
"I was previously heading to your base of operations, but since you're here, why don't you guide me there… and as you do that, make sure to tell your 'friends' to back down or they'll be like your best friend right there."
The black hooded figure spoke, as he subtly glanced to his left and right, where various men and women had paused what they were doing, most of them looking at his direction with subtle killing intent towards him.
Meanwhile, the white hooded figure had an expression of fear and confusion as he looked at the emotionless eyes of the black hooded figure, and with a stutter, he spoke:
"Who- Who are you?"
The black hooded figure tilted his head slightly and with an emotionless tone, he replied:
"Anon."
