Still, Derick remained calm.
Kimberly removed the gag on his mouth and Alessio quickly spoke, "Marshall, I failed you. Please forgive me."
"You didn't fail me. They are the one who rebelled against us," Derrick said.
"You are a coward, Kimberly," Derrick looked at her and said. "You want to kill me yet you need the help of more than a hundred soldiers. Why don't you challenge me directly? I guess you didn't deserve that position, you were politically placed there."
"Shut up!" Kimberly shouted, the veins of his neck revealing as if it will tear her neck opened. She was extremely furious that she wanted to explode out of anger. She hated it when someone call her a coward. She wasn't politically placed on that position, she worked his way by winning several battles for her country before she became the assistant to the god of war.
"I challenge you to a fight," Kimberly then went to stand before him. She knew he was definitely going to beat Derrick, seeing that he was already bleeding in the chest. The chest is a sensitive place and she believed that with just a few heavy punches on the place, he would be on the floor begging to live.
Kimberly suddenly charged at him, he guided it and said, "hold on."
Kimberly paused and said, "are you giving up already?"
"No, if I win, I get to kill all these men with my own hands," Derrick said.
Rumors immediately began to spread amidst Kimberly's officers. As if they were scared of Kimberly loosing.
Kimberly heard some of their rumors and shouted, "Don't you bastard even trust in me?"
At once, the officers surrounding them kept mute. "He's already bleeding in the chest and you still think he will defeat me, huh? Even if he's not bleeding, I'll beat him to death." She beat her chest proudly.
But Derrick just stood calmly. Of course, he was experiencing pain in his bleeding chest but he did not express it.
She looked at Derrick and said, "I agree to your deal. If I win you as well, not only will I kill you, I'll kill your personal assistant as well."
"Okay," Derrick said.
"So can we start?" Kimberly asked as she positioned herself to fight.
"You can," Derrick answered.
She flew and threw two kicks towards him but he guided him easily. She charged at him again and sent several punches at him but he guided them.
"Fight me!" She shouted.
"Fine." Derrick said and charged at her and in five seconds, he knocked her to the floor and matched his heavy booth on her nose, her nose immediately began to bleed, Kimberly was even finding it hard to breath.
Derrick bent and hit her in his jugular, Kimberly fainted at once. When the officers saw this, they adjusted back in fear and positioned themselves to fight Derrick. They were not ready to be slaughtered just like that.
Derrick released Alessio and once he stood, he said to Derrick, "Marshall, you can leave, I'll handle this. You are already bleeding."
Derrick ignored him and looked at the one hundred soldiers who still had swords in their hand.
"Inform our soldiers to meet us here," he whispered to Alessio and he immediately texted one of the men working for him about the danger they were in.
About ten thousand soldiers suddenly started rushing towards where they were. These soldiers were officers of Western Ocean City. In a jiffy, they had surrounded the one hundred Aurora Island soldiers.
The one hundred soldiers of Aurora Island fell to their knees and immediately pleaded, "Marshall, please forgive us. We were only following orders."
"Disarm them, " Derrick commanded.
In a few minutes, all the one hundred soldiers of Aurora Island were left without weapons, infact, their uniforms were also stripped off leaving them with only with their undergarments.
"The punishment for rebellion is death," he said. Although the one hundred soldiers of Aurora Island kept pleading earnesly, Derrick turned deaf ears.
He removed his dagger and went to the one hundred soldiers one after the other and began to slaughter them mercilessly. The sight was brutal. Derrick didn't stop until he slaughtered all the one hundred.
A lot of dead bodies lay on the floor and a lot of blood were flowing like river. Derrick's clothes had a lot of blood splased on it.
Then he walked over to his car and Alessio quickly got in and drove him home. Katherine was fast asleep and had no idea that there had been chaos in the base. It was Alessio's repeated knocks on her door that woke her up.
As soon as she opened her door, she spoke, "Alessio, what's the matter?"
"Come with me quickly," he immediately lead her to Derrick's room. When Katherine saw how his chest was bleeding, fear gripped her heart. She ran back inside and brought some medical kits. After she had stopped the bleeding, she then called Samantha to bring some medical substances from the laboratory.
Alessio who was standing by a side asked, "how is he?"
"He would be fine," Katherine answered and Alessio nodded.
"You may leave, Alessio. Thank you," Derrick said.
Alessio saluted and walked away.
