Chapter 6: The Council
157Please respect copyright.PENANAc7JFM4hkJz
Dexter's journey to Festeara had finally come to an end. He was about to meet the infamous Elissa Viper, the leader of Nemesis. Her reputation preceded her - ruthless, cunning, and merciless. Her influence stretched far and wide, infiltrating the government, politics, and the lives of powerful people. One thing was certain: she was not to be trifled with.

As Dexter arrived at the Nemesis palace, two guards emerged from the shadows, grabbing him and slapping a blindfold over his eyes. He was led inside, his senses heightened as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. The blindfold was eventually removed, and he found himself in a beautiful garden house, surrounded by lush greenery. Elissa Viper was tending to her plants, her eyes fixed on him as he approached.

"Your garden looks wonderful," Dexter said, trying to break the ice.

Elissa turned to him, her expression unreadable. "Dexter, did you come here to talk about my garden or to do business? I don't like people wasting my time, and I'm sure you know that."

Dexter got straight to the point. "Someone contacted me, a man named Mr. Boss. He wants to join the Council, but I need to convince you that he's serious about it. He's willing to prove his commitment to the cause."

Elissa raised an eyebrow. "If he's serious about joining us, what does he have to offer? What makes him think he's worthy of our attention?"

Dexter smiled, confident in his proposal. "I think I can show you something that will impress you."

He opened a case, revealing a sleek and deadly-looking weapon. Elissa's eyes widened as she picked it up, examining it with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.
157Please respect copyright.PENANArZYX8q1cm6
"What's the name of this weapon?" she asked, her voice dripping with anticipation.
157Please respect copyright.PENANATHKQ1cOoOH
"It's called the Ak Volk Assault Energy Rifle," Dexter replied.
157Please respect copyright.PENANACfUgI6NKVJ
Elissa's eyes sparkled with interest. "An energy rifle, you say? Let's take it to the target field and test it out. I hope it's worth my time, Dexter. You know what happens to people who waste it, don't you?"
157Please respect copyright.PENANA5EUoaBTpeH
Dexter nodded, aware of the risks. "Yes, I do."
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtZm5GTqqWU
The group made their way to the target field, a sprawling area filled with obstacles and cover. But what caught Dexter's attention was the line of people standing at the far end of the field. They seemed to be waiting for something, or someone.

"Ms. Elissa, why are these people lined up?" Dexter asked, a sense of unease creeping up his spine.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAeIiSqOEiZW
Elissa's smile grew wider. "They're my targets, Dexter. I use people as target practice. It's more... realistic, don't you think?"
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7INihLuSVX
Dexter's eyes widened in horror as Elissa began to explain the rules of the game. The people on the field would have seven minutes to survive, and she would use her new toy to test its capabilities. The guard opened the gate, and the chaos began.

The field erupted into a bloodbath as Elissa unleashed the Ak Volk's fury upon the unsuspecting targets. People ran, screamed, and died, their bodies riddled with bullets. Dexter watched in disgust, his mind reeling with the atrocities he was witnessing.

But Elissa was in her element, her laughter echoing across the field as she hunted down her prey. The teen girl, one of the few survivors, caught Dexter's eye. She seemed to be the only one who understood the gravity of the situation, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and determination.

As the time ran out, Elissa stopped shooting, a look of satisfaction on her face. The teen girl, the last survivor, stood before her, trembling with fear. Elissa pointed the gun at her face, a smile still plastered on her lips.

But just as she was about to pull the trigger, the guard intervened, reminding her that time was up. Elissa's expression changed, and she turned to Dexter.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAIFcuXatMsN
"Today is your lucky day, girl. You get to live. Guard, take her away and clean her up. Dexter, you've made me very happy today. This weapon is amazing. With this, Nemesis can take over the country. You've convinced me, but you need to do the same with the others. If you can, we might have a deal."
157Please respect copyright.PENANAps8CX4YzOb
Dexter nodded, a sense of relief washing over him. He had secured a deal, but at what cost? The memories of the massacre on the field would haunt him forever.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAFEFATW6jje
As he left the palace, Dexter couldn't help but think about the risks of his profession. He was an arms dealer, and his actions had consequences. The phone call from Mr. Boss interrupted his thoughts, and he answered, trying to sound enthusiastic.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUVWM82wQEq
"Sir, I have great news. Ms. Elissa Viper has agreed to the deal, but she wants to meet with the others. You might need to arrange a meeting with all of them."
157Please respect copyright.PENANATtDLwwVXeA
Mr. Boss's voice was filled with excitement. "That's great news, Dexter. You're the best arms dealer I've ever worked with. I've already arranged for your ride to the next job. You're ready to go, aren't you?"
157Please respect copyright.PENANA6tpMsYhCub
Dexter nodded, even though he knew Mr. Boss couldn't see him. "Yes, I'm ready."
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUHXRQWdCrY
The ship landed, and Dexter boarded it, his mind racing with thoughts of the future. What lay ahead? Would he be able to navigate the treacherous world of arms dealing, or would he become its next victim? Only time would tell.
