Chapter 108 Rome's Downfall
Rome\'s words made Julius explode in anger. "YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
The two of them brawled in the middle as Hugo took a step backward. He tilted his head to the side. "I should have bought some popcorn and drinks with me; this scene is quite entertaining.\' He uttered to himself.
Rome didn\'t back down. He went closer to Julius, punching him in the face. "I have followed you since I was grateful enough that you have given me everything that I needed." He paused for a while as he looked at Julius who fell to the floor.
"But I can\'t take it anymore." He shook his head.
Rome went to his desk, taking something out from the drawer beside his table. The corner of his lips stretched to the side. "Do you know what this is?" he chuckled as he played with the usb drive on his hands
Hugo\'s eyes widened when he saw what Rome has brought out. He swallowed dryly. \'I need to get that.\'
"This contains piece of evidence of what we have done so far…" his grin became wider.
"YOUU!" Julius hurriedly stood up. He ran the distance between him and Rome, and in there they fought for the USB drive.
Hugo, not knowing what to do, chose to pretend as if he was helping Julius on getting the USB. However, Rome\'s grip on it was too tight.
Without a choice, Julius could only think of one thing. As Hugo replaced him on getting the USB from Rome, he quickly went to his table to get the gun that he has carefully hidden.
He didn\'t even hesitate to fire them up.
*Bang *Bang *Bang
Three gunshots echoed in the whole mansion. The guards who were guarding at the gates and all the armed men scattered around hurriedly ran over to Julius\'s office.
Rome\'s eyes widened when he heard people coming into their way. He unconsciously dropped the USB on the floor as he got anxious that something might happen to him if he stayed any longer.
When Hugo saw that both men didn\'t notice any of it, he quickly picked the USB from the floor, keeping it in his pocket. He cleared his throat. He looked back to see Julius glaring murderously at Rome.
"Sir…" Hugo decided to interfere now that he has the USB already in his hands.
However, Julius didn\'t react to his words. It was as if his eyes were only focused on one thing and that was Rome.
It wasn\'t a few more seconds before people started to come barging in Julius\'s office. They were all carrying weapons, in fear that someone has tried to harm Julius.
"Get Rome," Julius strictly ordered as he stared at him straightly in his eyes.
Rome shook his head. "You wish…" he took out his gun from his pocket. He shot everyone who tried to come in his way.
Rome was skilled in both close combat and long-range combat. Since he knew the risks of joining Hugo in the project, he started to secretly learn how to fight.
He already had a hunch that one day, everything might change for him. He knew for sure about Julius\'s personality. He will dispose everyone that might come in his eyes or if the person has no use to him earlier.
And now, it seems like, the only person who has gotten Julius\'s interest was Hugo.
Hugo aimed his gun at Hugo\'s place. "This is all your fault!" He shouted out loud. He was about to fire the gun when he felt a force on his back.
"Argh!" He whined in pain as his hand dropped the gun.
\'Run. The only thing that I can do is run now!\' he reminded himself. He immediately turned his head to avoid another punch coming from his way. He got the file of folders on the side, throwing it hard in his front so then he could create a space where he can run.
"Get him!" Julius shouted out loud as Rome ran at full speed.
All the while, Higo was just watching them all alone.
"This is all my fault, If I didn\'t come to this place then this wouldn\'t happen." He apologized. "I will try to catch him," he confidently announced.
Julius nodded. He held unto his forehead, massaging the temples of his head. "I should have known that Rome is not loyal to me!" his jaw clenched. When he remembered about the USB, he froze in his spot.
"Where is it?"
Now that he was left alone, Julius tried to look for the USB. \'It was already not in Rome\'s possession, so where is it?\'
Julius had searched for everything that Rome could possibly hide or dropped the USB. But after a few minutes, he still couldn\'t it everywhere.
"Don\'t tell me Rome still, has it?" His breathing turned ragged after thinking about it.
"Betraying me means death. Rome, with all his knowledge about the things that I did, deserves to sleep…. forever…."
Hugo chased after Rome. He mischievously smiled. Unlike the people who were running, he decided to teleport to the possible place where Rome will pass by.
When he saw that Rome was coming into his way, he decided to show up.
"Hi there!" He smiled widely as he waved his hands right into his face. "Did you miss me?"
"H-How can you?" Rome stuttered.
"Maybe magic?" He laughed out loud.
Hugo knew for sure that Rome wouldn\'t get to see the sunrise tomorrow. He was dead as meat when he decided to reveal that he has something against Julius.
Rome was startled by what Hugo answered. The last thing that he remembered was Hugo was inside Julius\'s office when he ran to escape. How could he possibly be this fast? He even defeated him when he already ran at full speed using all his left strength.
"Hmm… Shouldn\'t you be glad that the person that bought of you have been trying to find for so long is already in front of you?" Hugo sarcastically said. He shrugged his shoulders as he showed the USB.
"By the way, I should thank you for this."
"Y-You!" Rome unbelievably looked at Hugo. He repeatedly shakes his head, in denial of what he just discovered.
"Well, since you wouldn\'t live long then I think, it\'s just right for me to say it." Hugo went closer to Rome, grabbing him by his collar. "You should be thankful for me… at least your efforts on finding me weren\'t in vain."
Rome\'s nose flared in anger. "I will tell this to Julius!"
Before he can even take a step, Hugo punched him in full force. Rome coughed up blood by the impact. His vision turned into circles.
\'Is his strength even humanly possible?" He was too shock to even made a sound.
When Hugo saw that people were coming into their way, he tilted his head to the side.
\'I will look like a fool, but whatever." With a deep sigh escaping from his lips, Hugo slightly punched his face so it would bruise up.
He knelt on the ground. He placed his hands on his stomach, pretending as if he was in pain.
Rome was stunned in place. He wanted to go near Hugo and really punch him in the face but his body was too weak already to even move an inch.
"HELP HUGO!"J Julius\'s voice surfaced in the area.
As if it was hope for Rome he quickly ran unto him but just like earlier, he was greeted only by a punch on his face. Now it is directly coming from Julius.
"Where do you think you are running?" Julius looked at him. His voice was getting deeper after every word.
Rome found it hard to speak up. It seems like Hugo\'s punch on his face made it impossible for him to make a sound. When he tried opening up his mouth, he would instantly close it and not move since the pain was unbearable.
It was as if his jaw was now completely broken.
Julius couldn\'t understand what Rome was trying to say. But his mouth was already clouded in anger to even mind it.
"WHY. DID. YOU. BETRAY. ME?"
Rome couldn\'t answer the question. The only thing that he could do was looked directly at Julius\'s eyes.
"So you won\'t answer, huh?"
Julius pushed Rome down to the ground. He took out the gun from his pocket and directly aim it at Rome\'s head.
"Are you going to speak or not?"
Gathering his last remaining strength and trying to bear the pain, Rome opened up his mouth. "H-Hu g-go H-he…"
Julius scoffed. "It seems like you won\'t answer me." He tilted his head to the side. He didn\'t hesitate to pull the trigger and shoot at Rome\'s pitiful body.
*Bang *Bang
Multiple gunshots echoed. Julius shot Rome\'s body ten times in total and he did it without even blinking an eye. When he was done, he looked at the gun before turning his attention to everyone.
"This is what\'s going to happen when you betray me."
