Pablo said he would start with something easy.
But the first thing he said was :
"I have killed all of your children."
Flashy went out of words.
Cupid smacked her forehead.
"What!?" He exclaimed.
"I have killed all of your children." Pablo repeated.
"Then what is he doing here?" Gerald asked, his eyes gesturing at Flashy.
"He is the only one alive."
"Why the fuck will you go and kill the good ones and leave the worthless one alive!? And why the hell did you kill them anyway? Who are you? You are wearing the uniform of a Marshal. Are you really one of them or just pretending?"
"Too many questions. I will tell you one by one."
Pablo straightened his legs and placed his hands below his head.
In short, he laid above Gerald. The old man was a mattress now.
Anyway, Pablo began talking.
"So I am Pablo Castillo and I am the second Marshal of the Abyssal Butchers. When I was a cand-"
"Lies!" Gerald cut off Pablo. "I know the second Marshal personally. His name is Luther. You are a phony. It’s clear now."
"Nope. I have killed Luther too. And you will feel better to hear that I killed his son too."
"Why are you killing everyone? And how can I even believe all this? How can one man kill so many people?"
"Well, I am resting above you, right? And I can kill you too. But see the irony here, the one you keep calling useless, the only reason you are alive right now is only because of that useless son. You better be grateful to him, if not proud."
"So if you are so strong then why are you here? Live with him and enjoy strength. Leave me and my wife alone."
"Alright. Now listen to me. And while I speak, if you dared to interrupt me, I will chop your dick. Understand?"
"What other choice do I have? Of course I understand."
"Good. Now pay attention."
Pablo took a deep breath and began the explanation.
He shared everything that happened after Gerald threw Flashy out of his house.
And he even shared things that even Flashy didn’t know.
Like Flora had used her Ego on Gerald just after ten days of their marriage.
Gerald was under Flora’s control from the start. It was just that the control was very weak as Gerald was too strong.
Nevertheless, Flora managed to control Gerald over time.
Pablo also told Gerald that Flashy was right when he accused Flora of trying to poison him.
But since Gerald was too strong, the poison didn’t work so Flora decided to completely make him her puppet.
And it went exactly like that.
Flora made Gerald throw Flashy out of the house and she got full control of the house herself.
Pablo also explained how Flashy’s siblings were torturing him and his mother.
He shared everything.
Everything upto this moment where Flashy was choking Flora with his symbiote.
Pablo shared the reason for Flashy’s violence and how he was the one who made her lose her control over his father.
Pablo made sure to explain everything in detail therefore it took him ten minutes to tell the whole thing.
And after finishing that, he let out a tired sigh and confronted Gerald once more.
"So? What do you say now?"
Gerald remained silent.
"Speak." Pablo pressed.
"What do you want me to say? I have no clue. I was controlled for ten years? You killed my children and those children were torturing my second wife? And if I was under Flora’s control then why did she let me marry a second time? And how do you know all this?"
"I have my ways. And your second wife’s name is Tessa Rail. And you were able to marry her because Flora’s control was not that strong at that time. That’s why you can still remember that."
Gerald focused on his brain. He tried to recall anything, everything.
He never liked Flashy but he did like Tessa. And he would certainly not stand her getting beaten. He thought Tessa was sick, he didn’t know his children were doing that to her.
He forced his mind to think. To remember.
But as he did that, a question arose in his mind.
"Why should I even believe you two?"
Pablo rolled his eyes.
"You two could be taking revenge against me because I never treated Flashy like a son. Yes. What is the proof of your claims? Tell me."
"You being alive right now is the proof. If I wanted revenge, I wouldn’t be catching you up with your past. You would have died long ago. Grow some sense and try to remember your life."
Gerald went silent again.
He again forced his mind and focused deep inside himself.
He was under control for ten years so it was natural for him to not remember what happened to him during that period of time.
"I can’t wait that long. Flashy, come over here and sit on your father. I will handle that woman."
Pablo stood up from Gerald.
Gerald tried to move but he only received pain so he stopped.
"Don’t try to hurt Flashy with your shadows. He is doing this for your own good. I will show you myself what happened to you for all these years."
Pablo walked towards Flora and when she saw him coming, she trembled more violently than the time when the symbiote first went inside her mouth.
She rapidly shook her head, begging Flashy not to leave her with Pablo.
Seeing that, Flashy smiled.
"Now I will definitely hand you to him."
Pablo reached near Flora.
"She’s all yours, boss."
"Yeah. Get that symbiote out. I didn’t want to touch her but as things stand, my experience is needed."
Flashy nodded and finally called the symbiote out from Flora.
After that, he went on to sit on Gerald. He was sorry for sitting on his own father but the situation demanded that.
After the symbiote came out, Flora let out a ragged breath of relief but alas, it won’t last long.
Because now Pablo Castillo was in front of her.
Flora looked at him with horrified eyes and Pablo smiled.
He moved his hands and clutched her hair.
He cracked his fingers as he grinned even wider.
