Snippet #2815529

Hokushin took another step forwards with each of Ulrich’s steps back, the light from the pod now illuminating him entirely, his face, and his traditional clothing.

“I serve His Majesty the Emperor, and the royal family of the Taiyou Empire.” Hokushin answered dutifully, letting Ulrich put two, and two together, if the man had ever followed the Kendra Shaw case that was.

“Know this, mercy is not something I dispense lightly, but I have been instructed not to shed blood. However, I have marked you.” Hokushin warned, and as he mentioned the mark, where he had jabbed Ulrich would likely sting intensely for a moment.

“If Arianne Drulovic dies, now, or in the future, your life, and the lives of your friends will be forfeit, we can find you, we can hunt you, you will never know peace, and you will never know when we will strike, like a serpent unseen, and unheard. If we can infiltrate this prison, and find you here, know we can find you anywhere.” Hokushin warned.

His statuesque gaze had not changed, nor did he assume any different posture than he had before. The Mazoku was ruthless, and efficient. It seems Shimizu was smart to commission this new unit.
