Chapter 76- I Am The Black Phantom (Part 2)

Eva\'s face looked oddly calm as she stared directly at the man, not averting her eyes. It was as if she was trying to itch his face into her memory.

"Did my family get released?" She asked.

The man squinted his eyes for a second. "Well, all I need is a word and your family should be out."

"Good, do that then before we end this matter." She said.

The atmosphere inside the room became slightly strained as the two kept staring at each other, trying to read what was on the other person\'s mind.

"Are you not afraid of death, Miss Eva?" He suddenly asked as he bent forward, resting both of his arms on the table.

"Why should I be?" She asked back. "We are hitmen, death is a normal day on the job."

"I have seen many hitmen say those same words, Miss Eva. Many of them died with tears on their faces."

"Some are weaker than others."

"Indeed, that\'s true. But, what\'s fascinating to me is that you didn\'t really show a single shred of fear even though you cherish your own family. I heard that the more a human loves, the more he fears to lose. Are you not afraid of losing them, Miss Eva?"

"..." Staying silent for a second, Eva seemed to be thinking for a second before she answered.

"Maybe knowing that they will be safe is putting my heart at ease. My life didn\'t go to waste, after all, did it?"

"No, it did not. My apologies for the question. I shall release your family immediately." He said as he looked at V.

The latter and then held his ear.

"Release them." After saying that, he was about to turn around when suddenly, he heard a loud cling.

Before anyone could even react, Eva\'s body moved like a flash and tore the shackles from her hands. Then, she jumped over the table and grabbed the man by the neck before she pinned him down with one hand on his throat and the other pointing at his eyes.

The four Executioners were shocked beyond words as they reflexively tried to move. However, they heard a cold voice.

"Don\'t move. If any of you move a muscle, this man is dead." She said.

V\'s face turned extremely grim. What the hell is going on? How did she release herself from the shackles?

"Oh no, this is bad!!" Y\'s face turned even paler as he started panicking.

"Ara ara, what just happened?"

"WHAT THE FUCK?!!!"

The man pinned under Eva already looked horrified. His eyes blinked profusely as if trying to avoid Eva\'s hand that was aiming for his skull.

"W-What is…"

"Speak and you will die. Breathe loudly and you will die. Try to call for help and you will die." Eva said. Although her words were aimed at the man specifically, the Executioners knew that she meant them too.

"Wait… Don\'t do anything reckless, Agent 74. You are aiming your gun at a high off-"

"You aren\'t a high officer." Eva cut him as she suddenly grabbed his ear. Then, with a swift move, tore it off as if it was a piece of paper.

"AGHHHH!!!" A loud scream of agony echoed in the room but since the walls were extremely thick, nobody heard it.

Lifting the ear to look at it, she shook it, dropping a small device to the ground.

"I high officer would never appear this easily in front of someone. In your case, it seems the real culprit sent you in their stead and delivered what they wanted to say through this device. So, in actuality, I was indeed talking with a high officer. Their marionette to be exact. You are one of the executives of that person, aren\'t you?" She said.

"Agent 74, if you kill that man, the guild will never ignore it."

"They will do. This man is unimportant. His life is meaningless. However, if I were to escape this place, the guild is going to face a way bigger problem than this."

The man\'s face paled and his breathing grew erratic. She blew his cover in a second! What is really fucking going on?! How does she have all of this strength?

An Origin user will be rendered useless without their talents. So, for her to be able to break those shackles, she could only use her raw power. However, that makes it even more absurd since the sheer strength required to break those shackles was unfathomable.

Even the Executioners were speechless. However, V was the only one to keep his composure as he fiddled with his left hand, trying to tap a certain button he had at the back of his shirt. However, Eva\'s eyes suddenly moved toward him as she unleashed her Origin power.

Immediately, the sound of electricity echoed in the room. All the electric devices were suddenly destroyed.

"You surely have no regard for this man\'s life, V. Well, since you gave me the green light, say goodbye to him."

"Wait!!" V\'s face crunched up as he yelled.

*Swish*

X\'s silhouette vanished as she appeared behind Eva and tried to grab her arm before she kills the man.

"We can\'t have you kill an executive, Eva-san." She said as she was about to unsheath the sword from her umbrella.

"Freeze."

The moment their arms touched, X\'s whole left body turned into ice. Her eyes widened slightly as she jumped back.

At the same time, Z was about to smash the ground. From the blueprint of the building, there was an underground area so if he was able to destroy the floor, he could stop Eva.

"Reverse."

Eva pointed her arm at Z. Instantly, all the momentum that he built was reversed and aimed directly at him.

"UGHH!!" The giant man\'s body was suddenly blasted into the air as he smashed into the ceiling and fell down again. Blood was seeping out of his mouth and nose. "SAD FUCK!! DO SOMETHING!!"

Y\'s face turned even paled as he tried to swing his scythe. However, the same thing happened to him and his weapon suddenly reversed and hit him square in the chest.

"BLURGH!!" Spitting blood, he smashed against the wall.

"Reverse… That can\'t be…" V\'s expression turned from grim to realization and then to deep shock. He only knew one person with that ability. "You…"

The man with glasses also realized what was going on as he looked at Eva. He felt his heart beating loudly. All the things started to clear up and that alone made him feel something he should\'ve never felt… He felt fear.

"Who… are you?"

Eva\'s hand moved up and she passed it across her face, instantly, her whole silhouette changed. From a seductive figure to that of a man, clad in black clothes. Reaching the middle of her face, the whole body completely changed. Then, by the time she reached the end of her face, her features changed from that of a woman to an eerie white mask with a stitched mouth on it.

Then, the masked man bent forward and said in an extremely cold tone.

"I am… the Black Phantom."
