Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore   Attempts at Settlement

This was it. The room that they were being led to...this may be where they die. Officer Meng looked at his fellow officer colleague from Tuas Terminal found themselves having to answer to their unofficial employer, now standing at the door into their boss' office, looking at each other nervously. They had heard stories before, rumors and chatter about the people who had failed the one they called the Blood Lion. They never saw his face, they knew whoever he was, he must be someone from an extremely elite background, probably a high earning lawyer, judge, military official, someone who had a huge amount of power in his hands and now...they were next in line. The men who failed to kill the Soultaker. "Get in. You owe him an explaination." An extremely tall and muscular Indian man pushes the two nervous officers in. The room was dark, a corner office that resided at the top of the Concourse Building. A postmodern tall 43 storey commercial and residential building near the heart of S

"You encountered the Soultaker?"Alex nods frantically:" Yes...yes I did."The huge hulking gangster in front of Alex held a phone to his face while Minister Kenneth spoke through from the other end of the phone line. " I don't care if the Soultaker gets you Alex. You had a deal with us, if you don't finish the job...the Soultaker won't be the one that ends you. ""But sir....""No buts. Slice off two fingers right now. Any of your choice."Kenneth hung up.Alex shivered in fear as the gangster in front of him passed him a combat knife. "Do what he says. You have one minute to choose."The teenager grabbed the weapon, his hand shaking uncontrollably as he wrapped his shivering fingers around the hilt, trying to keep himself calm, knowing that he had no choice but to obey the minister's orders."59...58...57..."Two fingers that can be lost without too much consequence...he's a right hander, he needs to still blend in in school so...ring and pinky on the left it is.

Maxus didn't sleep. Dawn seemingly took forever to arrive. The vigilante counted down the minutes that painfully turned into hours. 4am...5am... The first rays of sunlight finally seeped through his window. Maxus hastily prepared his clothes and bags for school, kicking his door open and marching out. The burning sensation running through his chest, a hungry unquenchable rage constantly pumping an endless wave of adreleline into him. He only had one thought in mind. Alex Beng must pay. People in school avoided him. Maxus had his jaw clenched, giving the path ahead of him a hostile glare. Most people spotted his bruises, large areas of his forearms swelling purple and black, several cuts across his cheek and more, looking like a fighter that was looking for a prey. Alex Beng...he was warned. He had every reason and chance to not kill but yet, everytime Maxus thought back about what happened yesterday. The Red Scorpion matching his every move, an opponent that he couldn't beat fo

Sunday. Maxus sat on the floor, head tucked into his arms as he recalled the look Alex gave him, right before he had delivered the finishing blow. He felt like...what was he? Did he go too far? Was Reynesh right about everything he had done? Leah didn't know what he was. Would she still be half as nice to him is she knew? Part of him was convinced to stop. But...every time Maxus reminded himself why he started being the Soultaker, it still haunted him. The flashes of that fateful day was still affecting him in a way he couldn't ignore. Despite the events of the previous day, Maxus knew that he had to keep going. Even if he did stop for the right reasons, he would still know that out there in the country, the Blood Lion, The Red Scorpion was still doing something to ruin the lives of many others. For that...he knew he couldn't stop until either all his enemies or he himself is dead. Alex's death was reported everywhere on every channel of Singapore. The polytechnic closed the day

"One clean hit. That's it."12 year old Maxus raised his fist, shifting his feet around to provide as much balance as he could, taking in a deep breath as he steadied his arms, pointing them towards Tony who took his fighting stance as well. "If you can survive 30 seconds, you win." Tony reminds."Bring it." Maxus recalled saying as Tony burst forward.The mentor switched his attack hands mid charge, from a fist to a chop as he swung at Maxus who managed to deflect the first shot, quickly stepping back to dodge another, sidestepping again to avoid a third and was about to have an opening for his own counter attack when Tony kicked, forcing Maxus to back off."You can read style changes now. That's an improvement, now try dodging these. Twenty seconds to go." Tony says as he reverted back to his fist, shifting himself towards Maxus who readied another defensive stance.Tony shot forward, throwing a barrage of jabs that Maxus blocked with his forearm
