Chapter 2024
"You animal!"
Tidus bellowed, "Mr. Lawrence and I have done right by you! How could you betray us?! Do you even have a conscience?! What would your mother say if she knew you betrayed me?!"
Blackie's face twitched uncomfortably at the mention of his mother, but he soon smirked. "Sorry, but I'm doing this for my mother so that she can have a better life! Selfishness makes the world go round. I'm sorry, Tidus, but it's now time for you to die."
With that, Blackie and his lackeys trained their pistols on Tidus.
But just as they pulled the trigger, Lizzie pushed Tidus to the ground, blocking the bullets for him with her body.
"Lizzie!" Tidus shed a tear as he looked on.
"It's okay... My life is yours anyway, Tidus..." Lizzie murmured, collapsing into Tidus' arms as she bled.
"Blackie... I'll kill you! Argh!!!"
Something snapped in Tidus as he watched Lizzie dying right in front of him.
Pushing away Lizzie's body, he leapt toward Blackie, which only prompted a savage laugh from Blackie. "Haha! You're lucky that bumpkin's willing to die for you, but she's only bought you just a little time! You'll see her again soon enough!"
"You don't get to call her that, you prick!" Tidus bellowed as he lunged at Blackie.
Blackie did not even panic at all, even leisurely reloading his pistol.
By the time Tidus reached him, he raised it and fired it three times at Tidus' abdomen.
He just did not expect Tidus not to
et
fall despite being shot. Instead, Tidus continued toward him, and with strength that he mustered out of nowhere, Tidus chomped down on his shoulder and bit off a mouthful of flesh.
"Argh!"
Blackie screamed and gritted his teeth as he unloaded his pistol.
Even after he fired every bullet he had, he kept pulling the empty trigger, but Tidus never fell and was looking straight at him. "T-Tidus... Boss..."
Blackie was absolutely terrified-he did not expect Tidus to still stand after being shot over a dozen times!
"Blackie..."
Tidus suddenly murmured even as blood spurted out of his mouth, reaching out to touch Blackie's face with his blood-soaked hand as his pupils turned unfocused. "You could've just told me if you wanted to become the boss... I would've let you... if you'd just asked.
Yel??
And with those words, Tidus slid against Blackie before dropping on the ground, the blood on his palm left on Blackie's face. "Tidus... Brother..."
As Blackie stared blankly at Tidus' corpse and then at Lizzie in the distance, he dropped his pistol on the ground with a thud before falling to his knees.
"Liar... you're a liar..." he murmured, before seizing Tidus by the collar and bellowing through tears, "You're lying! You always lie to me, and this is no exception, right?! You'd let me become the boss if I'd just asked... Are you kidding me?! Mystic Sky Guild and its thousands
