BLACK GHOUL - Chapter 178

Airport

The Plane lands at the wide space area, the hatch opened as Vincent Jones steps out, about 10 agents was out, waiting for him.

“Welcome to New York, Director” one of the agent greeted.

Vincent smirks coming down the stairs.

“Yes i believe so” Vincent said in amusement.

“Your car is waiting sir”.

***

Streets of New York

Uptown

about five SUV drove on the free road.. Vincent eyes scanned the city through the window, his gaze then lands on the Statue of Liberty, distances away.

“The Statue of Liberty… hmm” Vincent said facing the agent seating next to him.

“Sir?”

“Your name”

“Oh its Ardolf Noah sir” he replied.

“Noah huh… you have been in New York in all your life?!” he asked.

“Yes sir”

“I believe your statue indicate freedom” Vincent said in amusement.

Noah nods.

“A universal symbol of freedom. Originally conceived as an emblem of the friendship between the people of France and the U.S. and a sign of their mutual desire for liberty, over the years the Statue has become much more. … It represents the United States itself” he said.

Noah nods puzzled of why he was discussing this.

“Also peace if i might add, what a fetish insight, this city is nowhere near peace” he adds like it was an obvious predicament.

Noah gulps hard facing the window, he didn’t doubt it, he didn’t argue with it, because he knew he was right.

“Yes, you’re right sir, this city needs to be cleansed for peace” He said as he fist tighten, his eyes grew wistful with the memories of the past.

“I like the way you think and i believe we will work quite well together” Vincent states in am amused tone, he lived person who had a destructive mind and Noah seemed to be one of those people he considered rare.

“Tell me Noah, what made you come back to the agency?!”

“Revenge, i want justice for my loved ones taken away from me by ghouls… when the agency was dissolved i was furious, i didn’t understand why it had to happened, i worked my ass out for the agency, i risked my life to protect this city away from ghouls and yet they just chose their side just because the black ghoul supplied the cure for the Claw Walkers” Noah said as his fist tightens hard in anger, after all the ghouls did to them, people just accepted them with open arms.

“Its funny isn’t it… the very same people you try to protect just turn on you and acknowledge the very monsters you fight” He adds with shaky eyes.

“I saw the news,  I saw you,  then I knew hope was here, I knew someone was finally stepping for us humans, to resume the hunt and terminate the ghouls once and for all”

But then he froze when he realized he said too much, he turned to face Vincent who had an amused look.

“I’m sorry sir, i said too much” he said.

“Not at all” Vincent said facing the window, his cold gaze against the city once more.

“I admire your hatred for ghouls and your strong desire to eradicate them all… i  just hope the rest of the agent have the same burning desire or else there will be much work to do, don’t you think?” He adds facing Noah who now had his gaze on him, in a skeptical look.

He was about saying something but then a loud boom sound came in like an explosion happened, in panic they turned to the front mirror, the three SUV in front of them were caught up in a explosion…. an explosion? No.. it most certainly wasn’t, it was like it was flipped with an immense strength.

The driver quickly steps on the brake before they got to the cars now on fire.

“Agents come in we’re under attack, i repeat we’re under attack!” Noah hissed to his comm.

“Protect the Director!”

That moment the remaining SUV behind them stops as the agents came out on full gear and started shooting at their attacker.

“Sir, i must get you out” Noah said in panic, knowing it was his duty to protect him.

“Whose attacking us?!” Vincent demands pissed, he didn’t expect this, he was sure his coming to New York was kept off the raider and secured, how was it leaked?!

Like in response to his unanswered question, a figure lands in front of the car bonnet, smashing the window glasses from the hand impact.

Stunned, their eyes lands on the figure, it appears to be a woman, from the shorts she was wearing and the long knee black boots along with long black leather jacket. She leans down.

Riley smirks, her ghoul eyes present, the left part of her eyes embodied in a four leaf clover symbol looking like a tattoo.

Her smile the vanished as she used her immense strength to rip the car front window off, flinging it somewhere, she grabs the driver who shouts in horror, flinging him also.

“Hello Vincent Jones… or should I say  uncle” Riley said darkly.

In high alert Noah brought out his gun shooting at Riley. A white rod forged on her hand from inside her body as she rotates it in front of her deflecting the bullet.

“Allow me Noah, those bullet don’t work on this type of ghoul” Vincent said as he brought out a device that shifts into a gun having gold bullet inside, Riley’s eyes widen in realization on seeing the bullet but then, Vincent fired the shot she used her hand to deflect it as it embodied in her flesh, the force pushing her off the car, but she then her stood her ground as she slides backwards then stopped.

“Now you got me pissed” Riley said pissed.

“Silver!” She called on the being within her as she awoke and then merged bodies with Riley as they grew in height, in a Claw form, white in color wrapped in bandages, bald head holding a rod crown around with thorns, the head giving off electricity, she stood high and tall in a feminine structure, white aura around her, a rod at hand embodied with white thorns, her ghoul golden eyes beaming dangerously.

She growled deeply.
