Chapter 5: Billy
Leaving the warehouse, Klaus walked back into the center of town, where people were partying and having a good time for the most part.
Making his way to the Capo bar, known for being owned by a former Valentino, Klaus scanned the bar. It didn't take long for him to find Billy being the center of attention, buying people drinks.
(Ha, it's funny, out of all my weapons, controlling someone's greed is the most dangerous one.) Klaus thought to himself with a small laugh
Standing there, he waited and waited, watching as Billy, who was excited and cheerful, began to calm down. The people who were supposed to meet him had yet to contact him, and he was unable to get in touch with them.
Looking down at the ringing phone from one of the guys he had killed, Klaus picked up the phone.
"What the hell, man, I have been rining you all fucking night, you got the gun?" Billy screamed
"Billy billy billy I warned you...But you got ahead of yourself, didn't you?" Klaus replied calmly as ever
"What the fuck, who the hell are you?" Billy asked
"Come on, you really don't remember your new business partner?" Klaus teased
"H-Hargraves...Why do you have Dom's phone?" Billy asked, looking around
"Oh, you know why, but forget that, enjoy the drinks and attention. You might as well have a good time while you're alive," Klaus replied
"Wait- wait a minute, we can talk about this. Just let me explain," Billy begged.
"I told you once. You didn't even wait until you got the first gun. Well, I guess kids are as eager as ever," Klaus replied
"Just wait, choom we can figure something out, a new deal 70/30 split, no 90/10 split, of course you take the 90," Billy tried to bargain.
"Have fun, Billy. See you soon," Klaus said with a happy tone as he hung up the phone.
"FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!" Billy yelled from down the street loud enough for people to stare at him in confusion for a few moments
As the night began to get late, Billy, who was freaking out in the bar, was finally kicked out by the owner.
Nervously, Billy started making his way home, his gun clenched in his hand. With only the streetlights and a few people's till up this late, Billy could not help but freak out at every sound.
Following behind him, hiding in the darkness of the alleyways and corners, Klaus crept up on Billy. Stopping at an intersection, Billy looked in the direction of his house, then the direction of the underground market.
"Shit...Fuck this, you wanna kill me, come kill me," Billy yelled in anger, making his way towards his gun shop.
With a grin, Klaus followed behind Billy, who now walked with purpose. Arriving at the underground market, there were a few people still open who were selling dolls, drugs, and stolen guns.
Making his way to the gun shop, Billy walked inside, and Klaus watched as he began loading a shotgun and a rifle, then sat down to monitor his surveillance system. Scanning the building, Klaus marked each of the cameras and then made his way to the power breaker for his shop. Opening the breaker box, Klaus ripped out the cables, plunging his shop into darkness, which only heightened his fear.
With no power to the door, Klaus was able to pry it open with his strength. With his gun in hand, he crept towards the frightened Billy, who stood in a corner with his shotgun in hand. Holding up the pistol, Klaus pulled the trigger.
As the defending sound rang out, Billy began screaming in agony as he fell to the ground, clenching his now bleeding leg that was barely attached to the rest of his body.
Dashing up to him, Klaus placed a mouth over Billy's hand and held the hilt of his sword to his temple.
"Goodbye, Billy. You really were as stupid as I thought. You think I didn't notice that look you gave your chooms after testing my gun," Klaus said with a manic smile.
Without wasting time or giving Billy a chance to respond, he pressed the button on his sword, extending it, causing it to pierce Billy's skull, killing him.

Without wasting any time, Klaus placed Billy's body in his inventory, alongside his entire inventory, and a safe behind some clothes. Leaving the back of the store, Klaus snuck his way out of the underground market, dodging the cameras and patrols, and made his way towards the gunshot from earlier.
Leaving the underground market with his new inventory of weapons, armor, drugs, and other items, Klaus made his way home. As he arrived, he saw that Mike was still awake, watching his apartment, but with a look of annoyance on his face.
(What the hell is he planning?) Klaus asked himself with slight concern.
Reaching his apartment Window, he scanned inside, and what he saw surprised him. Four men in ski masks, each holding knives, were sitting in his apartment.
(People really do piss me off that you expect them to do what they will do.) Klaus sighed
Opening his inventory, which was a 100x100 grid with an infinite number of pages, Klaus pressed a poison grenade. As the item pixelized in his hand, he pulled the pin and gently tossed it onto his bed.
"What the fuck, this kid isn't going to show, it's been three fucking hours," one of the men said.
"Hey...you-you cough cough what the cough," one of the men began coughing
Once he did, the others began breathing in the poison. As their lungs became heavy and they began coughing blood, they tried to run but tripped over each other in the small apartment.
Within two minutes, all of the men were dead in a pool of blood dripping from their mouths.

Keeping his window open to air out the apartment, Klaus walked downstairs without his balacrava and made sure Mike saw him.
Giving him a small wave and smile, Klaus sat on the seats that the older folks would sit on and talk to each other.
Seeing Klaus unharmed and fine, Mike looked up at his apartment, then back down at Klaus. Clenching his fist, Mike pulled out his phone and tried to call his buddies. One ring... two rings....three rings...four rings. Each of the phones went to voicemail, as none of them were answered.
Storming out og the shop, Mike walked over to Klaus, who was staring at the little amount of stars he could see.
"What the fuck did you do?" Mike said, grabbing Klaus by the collar
"Woah, what are you talking about?" Klaus said, holding his hands up defensively
"My boys, what the fuck do you do to them?" Mike said his grip was tightening
"Nothing I haven't seen your friends. I've been in my apartment all day. It's like they have been there, right?" Klaus said, a grin plastered on his face
"You fucker...I know you have fucking seen them!"
"Wait, are you telling me your friend has been in my apartment while I was away? Wouldn't that be breaking and entering?" Klaus said with a fake look of surprise.
"You little shit, you will get what's coming to you," Mike said, pushing Klaus to the ground before walking away.
With a grin, Klaus stood up and dusted himself off.
"As will you, Mike. I think our game should come to an end," Klaus said with a whisper as he walked back upstairs.
