Alec quickly and efficiently lay down seals that would damper sound from leaving the room, not wanting for people to interrupt them. He also sharpened the sounds that filtered into the room.
Those were Alec's basics for whenever he was going to smack someone around. It would be the height of foolishness to be interrupted before he could properly dispose of the trash, after all.
Joe went for Travis single-mindedly. He no longer put Alec in his eyes, seeing that the teen wasn't going to move against them.
If he had a chance, he was going to take it.
However, Connor, who was still rather freaked out, went to attack Alec instead of going to subdue Travis together with Joe.
Joe inwardly cursed the other man, whose brain had been addled by Bill's death.
To him, it was better to take care of their little toy that had bent to their wills for countless nights rather than going after the unknown factor. They could always team up against him together once they'd taken care of Travis, but no! Connor went for the unknown first!
The sudden split in their priorities meant that their fighting strength was weakened.
Travis shifted as if he was about to tackle Connor to stop him from going after Alec, but before anyone in the room could react, Alec's hand lashed out lightning fast, grabbing Connor by the throat.
Connor kicked out, but he was stunned by the sudden change in his position, flailing uselessly.
Joe and Travis were surprised at the show of strength Alec was showing, but then quickly put it out of their mind, returning to their own fight.
Joe kept an eye out for Alec in case he attacked from behind, leaving him fighting in a disadvantageous position of two to one.
To be honest, the man really didn't want to attack either of them because if it got back to the Ross Clan about what they did or had done, his life would be over in a split second.
However, things had already come to this. There was no backing out for him now, and if the blackmail threats didn't work now, then it wouldn't later either.
The only choice he had left was to kill Travis before altering the crime scene and fleeing.
Joe still wanted to live.
Alec sneered at the man whose flailing was getting weaker as he choked him, slowly closing his fingers around the man's throat.
Connor's face went white then red as the blood tried to go to places to help him take in oxygen, but to no avail.
Luckily for him, Alec had no intentions of having him die by something as boring as *strangulation*, no. Especially not for abusers like this. Alec loathed them with a passion.
Alec abruptly released the man, causing him to drop to the floor, panting, and slightly disbelieving that the enemy would give him time to recuperate.
Maybe he was one of those pretty boys that detested killing, or had problems facing their morals and ethics as if taking a life was something shameful.
Connor took in large, heavy gasps as oxygen rushed back into his lungs, his vision swimming.
But even when he was doing that, the man tried to escape from Alec.
Before the man could get very far, Alec lazily reached out and dragged the man back by the arm, looking for all the world as if he was a cat playing with a struggling mouse.
Then, what Alec did next would forever be impressed on Travis' mind.
Alec gripped harder before the smile on his face widened. He planted his foot on Connor's body, then with a single, strong yank, he actually managed to detach the entirety of Connor's arm from his body.
The first thing that happened was the joint popping out of the socket, before the muscles that connected the bones and joints tore. Then, the arteries and veins simultaneously burst before giving way.
It happened in a split second, and no one was able to react in time.
It happened so quick that there was a delayed reaction in Connor, the pain not registering until after he saw his arm in Alec's hands, detached from his body.
Connor instantly let out a scream so loud that if it wasn't for the seals Alec had placed up, the entire building would have been wondering who was screaming in the distance – and so painfully and desperately too.
The blood gushed out from the place his arm once was, and the man looked at the arm that was still in Alec's grip in horror.
His face instantly paled from its previous red-state, and his legs trembled on the ground. The man's entire world now consisted of pain, and there were no thoughts in his mind.
Any pain that he thought he'd experienced before this was nothing compared to what he was feeling at this moment.
Every single one of his nerves was screaming, like they were on fire.
Thankfully, Connor felt his vision gaining some black spots, and the man rolled around on the ground, clutching his still gushing arm. His arm that would never recover.
He knew that he would pass out soon, which would end this unbearable pain.
Alec clicked his tongue when Connor's screaming grew increasingly faint. He lightly pressed his foot on the man to roll him over, prompting another jerk from the man as his screams increased in volume again.
Alec blinked his eyes as he put on his most genial smile, smiling down at the man on the stained red ground.
He pulled out a syringe from his interspatial dimension – still cursing that his idiotic self had placed the seal *on his thigh* – and pressed on the plunger lightly, causing a bit of light green solution to squirt out.
"Don't worry. This will keep you awake for the rest."
The words that Alec said seemed to register in Connor's mind, because the man started gasping and making little desperate noises as he weakly shook his head, as if doing so would prevent Alec from doing anything.
Without any warning, Alec plunged the syringe into the man's neck, pressing down fully.
Connor was thrown straight into the pits of despair as no matter how close he felt like he was getting to passing out, his mind remained clear and in the depths of pain.
Tears started leaking out of the man's eyes.
Alec tsked. The man was already breaking so quickly.
Alec ripped off a leg this time, prompting another round of screams from the man. Screams that were growing increasingly shrill and hoarse as his mind broke down from the sheer unending agony that ripped through him.
The System ripped off the other leg, and Connor's eyes rolled back in his head, but only a fraction of a second passed before he returned to consciousness.
By now, the man was heavily sobbing, too drained to even scream.
Alec threw away the two legs that he'd ripped off the abuser then casually picked up the arm that he'd ripped off from him, smacking him across the face with his own arm.
"I bet you regret it now, huh?" Alec said lightly, his damnable smile still so gentle on his face.
Connor shuddered, and it had nothing to do with the pain that was lancing through his body. Instead, the fear that encompassed his mind was so overwhelming that his teeth chattered when he looked at the smiling demon in front of him.
His teeth were chattering so violently that it was a wonder the man didn't bite off his own tongue.
"No?" Alec continued in the same light tone.
Connor, cottoning on to what the devil was about to do, frantically shook his head, not prepared for losing his last him.
"P-please," the man choked out, but Alec felt no sympathy for him.
He really should have killed the lot of them last time. Alec's mouth was smiling, but his eyes were ice-cold.
"Don't do this," Connor whimpered, casting desperate eyes towards Joe, only to fall deeper into despair at whatever he saw.
Alec tilted his head. "I think not," he said deceptively kindly.
Alec turned around to look at Travis to give him a choice, only to blink when he saw that Travis had managed to subdue Joe – he had no idea when.
Travis was looking at him with wide, slightly worshipful eyes, while Joe looked like he was standing face to face with a monster.
The man didn't even seem to care that he was being pressed down to the ground by Travis, instead looking at Alec with large, horrified eyes.
'Was this still a human being?!' Joe thought to himself.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
