RE:BORN Zombie

"Something about medicine after death. Shouting like a goat won't change anything." Victor said, as he appeared in one of the several places where he had marked as he wondered around the city. It was an alley way that barely had anyone use it. Looking at his surroundings calmly, with a ripped arm in his hands, Victor was sure that this was not the destination he wanted to go to originally. 'Something is preventing me from leaving the city. Definitely one of those people that can seal off spaces.' Victor thought in his head. He was right to be cautious about the existence of people as strong as him. To seal the entire city off is no small deal.

Seeing that he couldn't leave the city for a while, and the fact that he didn't want to go outside and cause an unnecessary ruckus, Victor remained there for some seconds, in mere moments he devour the arm and threw away the bone. After the arm was taken care of, Victor only had one place in mind where he could go to and probably, through there bypass the skill affecting the space around the city. Since he figured the place was under the city, it was possible that his plan would work.

Victor felt one of his marks immediately, and just like that he faded out of the visual reality around that alley and appeared somewhere familiar, a place where everything seemed to be going on like nothing was happening around. He was in the underground market. As he had gotten there, Victor quickly tried to leave the city this time, but it still didn't work, so he just moved through the place towards where he would be able to get to the overall boss. Luckily, he met guards who knew of him, so it didn't take long for him to get to the office.

While walking around, Victor noticed people he didn't know give him some kind of eye. It wasn't threatening or eyes of fear or anything like that, in fact it was the first time Victor could say he had seen such expressions. It wasn't rocket science, so Victor quickly put one and two together and figured out that the people here must have gotten the news of what is happening above ground.

He was sure they would attack him on sight, all of them. But after hearing the unbelievable feat Victor had achieved, plus his name as Crow, all they could do was look, unable to even bring out malice towards him.

Just as Victor opened the door to the office and stepped in, the first thing he heard was, "Crow! Just in time." Mark Mortem said as Victor entered the office.

Inside was Mark and his brother Bryce, and there seemed to be someone else within the office. This person also stood up following the others as Victor entered the room. To Mark's words, Victor nodded, but he then turned his head towards the other person in the room. Seeing this, Mark quickly began introducing the other person to Victor accordingly.

"Oh right, this is the head of the Beechmon Family, Arnold Beechmon. They are a partner family, not just within business, but out families share a history that goes way back." Mark said.

"Arnold, not a bad name. Good head on you." Victor said as he looked at the man. He didn't really mean anything by his words. He just wasn't going to go through the formalities with the man.

'Good head on my shoulders? Is that a compliment or something else?' The man questioned in his mind. "It is a pleasure to finally meat with a legend like yourself..." the man wasn't done speaking, but he could sense that the Crow wasn't interested in hearing anymore, so he slowly retreated.

"Right. I came here for something else, but you said I came at the right time, and i can sense an extra presence in the place. What's going on?" Victor asked, more authoritatively than asking. Ever since he was labelled as the Crow, the brothers seem to want him to be their boss or something, and would show crazy levels of subservience for the status.

"Yes, seems you noticed their presence already." Mark said, he then went on to explain how the person had appeared out of nowhere and also what the person said.

The person that came didn't introduce himself, he only stated that he wanted to see the Crow and that he would be waiting for him to return. Mark and his people were going to rough him up a bit, but he ended up beating the guards that were with him, and once again, Bryce. Because of this and the show of strength, Mark had no other option than to let him in. Hearing this, Victor had then turned to look at Bryce who he had not paid any attention to, and certainly, there was a bruise on his handsome face.

After hearing the explanation, Victor had only one thing in mind, 'Precognition, or they have the ability to see the future. If not, how would they know that I will come here, something even I didn't initially plan to do.'

"This person can see the future huh?" Victor asked out loud. The three men in the room were shocked to hear this, but since it came from the bosses mouth, it was a little bit difficult to discredit the possibility. Seeing the reaction from the humans before him, Victor couldn't help but think, 'If someone was told that we only met some days ago and that we haven't even seen much, they would disagree with a 50M bet.'

Interrupting their little meeting, a guard opened the door and before he could say much, a middle aged man walked into the office slowly and at his own pace. The man had a fairly pale skin, and grey hair, and for his age he looked well and healthy. As he walked in, he did with a smile on his face, not showing any form of fear or hesitation, until he stood a few feet away from Victor.

Victor looking at him could tell that something was amiss, like something was different about the man. 'Something's off, he is nor normal.' Victor said in his mind. To confirm his suspicions, Victor used the system, and what came up would shock him quite a bit, if he still had a beating heart that is.
