Cyberknight: One Path

⁕ The Lynching Game (part 1)

[CK] - "You miss home, comrade? "

[Audrey] - "I don't miss home, I miss a reason to call a place home. "

Audrey thought for a second and took one look at her friends and the memories she had made.

[Audrey] - "Heh... Nevermind. I'm already home. "

During this time, footsteps echoed around an office in complete silence. With a loud thud, Jagger sat on a luxurious desk while pushing away the decorations and awards. While Jagger lit himself a cigarette, a high-ranking military officer pinned on the wall with a pen through each of his limbs stared on in terror and agony.

[Jagger] - "Didn't I warn you about certain people of interest I forbid you from touching? I'm seriously shocked by your level of incompetence. "

[Chief of Dome] - "I swear, lord Jagger, it was just a small misstep. The size of the operation just overwhelmed me during the first few days and... And these people just so happened to have slipped! My lord, I have done everything else according to your wishes! "

Said the chief in a panic.

[Jagger] - "I'll allow you a second chance since I don't want loyal pawns to go to waste. I hope you understand the extent of my power... "

Said Jagger as he lifted his finger.

[Jagger] - "No human on this planet can stand in my way. No God or weapon can win against me. You live to serve me without question and that's all there is. Although we blame the Appalachian disaster on the cyberknights, I'm sure you understand who truly was responsible for it. "

The pen which held the officer on the wall suddenly flew out of his flesh except for one which held his left arm. While the man struggled to free himself, Jagger slightly moved his finger. In an instant, a massive slash appeared on the wall and severed the man's arm.

[Jagger] - "This is just a demonstration of my power. I hope you base your future decisions on this encounter between us. Safety is a fantasy unless you serve without fail. "

Instead of being worried about his wound, the officer quickly kneeled down and begged for forgiveness before Jagger.

[Jagger] - "Listen to me well. Doctor Dane and many others will be given secret access to Dome data. All reports submitted by agents and Blue Guards will pass through them. Let them access whatever they want without making it suspicious. "

[Chief of Dome] - "Why, my lord? These people are clearly not on our side. "

Said the chief while blood loss caused his breath to turn heavy.

[Jagger] - "Because I'm not shallow like you or your men. These people will scream but they have no mouths. Eventually, you'll understand my reasoning. "

Suddenly, the man looked at his arm and realized that blood stopped leaking out of his severed arm.

[Jagger] - "Get your arm patched up! My mercy is not infinite. "

[Chief of Dome] - "Thank you, my lord! I will continue to live to serve you! "

Said the chief with fear and gratitude in his eyes.

As the man pushed his body against the floor in submission, Jagger smiled as he stepped on the chief's back to lower his body below his foot.

Later, Jagger snuck back into Kadyn's room for a well-deserved rest. However, as he closed the door behind him, Kadyn suddenly jumped out of bed in excitement.

[Kadyn] - "There you are finally. I couldn't sleep properly without you. "

Said Kadyn with a warm smile while her arms were extended welcomingly.

[Jagger] - "I can't sleep either but I'm quite tired. "

Said Jagger as he threw his coat on the ground.

Without giving Kadyn her hug or a kiss, Jagger sat back on the sofa and unbuckled his belt.

[Jagger] - "Service me, bitch! Please your emperor. "

At first, Kadyn was shocked by Jagger's tone but quickly convinced herself that it was simply a part of his roleplay.

[Kadyn] - "Of course, my emperor. All this maid's body is yours to enjoy. "

Said Kadyn as she played along innocently.

With a playful smile, Kadyn sat on Jagger's crotch and began to dance for him.

[Kadyn] - "Is this to your liking, my emperor? Do you think this poor maid deserves a reward for her performance? "

[Jagger] - "Can you shut your fucking mouth, you stupid chatterbox! "

Said Jagger aggressively.

Despite Jagger's tone, Kadyn interpreted the words as part of their roleplay. With a smile, Kadyn gestured a zipping motion across her mouth before silently removing her bra. After an intense session of love-making, the two lay exhausted on the sofa with Kadyn playing with Jagger's hair.

[Kadyn] - "Will there be a day where you don't have to work so hard anymore? You know, a day where you can just be here with me and not go anywhere else for the entire day. "

[Jagger] - "Heh! How boring would that be? I can't imagine just spending my time with this dumb blonde here. "

Said Jagger with a disgusted tone.

[Kadyn] - "Mph! You meanie! I'm not that dumb. "

Said Kadyn in anger as she pulled on Jagger's hair.

A fit of rage flushed inside Jagger but he refrained himself to hitting Kadyn. Instead, using his ability, Jagger moved the container of pineapple he stole from the fridge into his hand. With an amused smirk, Jagger moved a piece of the fruit in front of Kadyn's lips.

[Jagger] - "Just some I bought from the store on my way back. You have to stay hydrated after all this. "

Said Jagger in a fake caring tone.

Without hesitation, Kadyn ate the piece with a joyful expression. One after another, Jagger made Kadyn eat every single slice inside the container all the while smiling out pleasure from his twisted act. Kadyn nor anyone who's still alive will know that this pot of pineapple used to belong to the couple Jagger mercilessly slaughtered during his rampage at the Appalachian underground complex.
