Chapter 221: Chapter 26, Episode 15: The Syria-Ruman Plan
âAre there any changes?â the man in the khaki military uniform, who almost dozed off standing against a rock, asked.
His voice was filled with annoyance.
âThey arenât coming out of the house, at all. Even the foreigner, who was strolling around the garden, canât be seen,â the man answered while viewing through the binoculars.
He was wearing a half-sleeved checkered shirt and a keffiyeh on his head. Syriaâs weather was similar to Koreaâs, but Syria had stronger sun rays. Most men wore hats.
People in the southern regions wore ghutras on their heads and fixed it with the agal because of the high temperature and strong sunlight. People in the northern regions wore traditional keffiyehs as the temperature wasnât as high.
âDonât take your eyes off them, even for a second. That b*stardâs the foxiest amongst all foxes. He disappears in a blink. Damn, what am I doing so early in the morning?â
The man in the military uniform yawned until the corners of his mouth stretched before dabbing away the tears around the corners of his eyes. He was annoyed since he had to keep an eye on a district that wasnât under his jurisdiction.
âSir Abdul, where do you think Sir Azar went without telling us?â
âHmph, heâs probably on top of a woman somewhere. Why do I need to suffer because of that b*stard?â
Abdul was very annoyed. He had been on the receiving end of the district officerâs temper because of Azarâs sudden disappearance. He had planned on asking for half of the profits once Mohammadâs tail was found.
âJawadi, make sure youâre watching them properly. Once everythingâs over, youâll receive Bakriâs herd of sheep and Mohammadâs younger sister.â
âHa, of course, sir. Those Orthodox Christians must be planning something since Bakri had taken Mohammad with him in a rush. Kekeke!â
The young man called Jawadi laughed in delight. When he thought about Mohammadâs younger sister, Bassel, his lower half became excited. He still had lingering feelings for Bassel after violating her small chest and smooth butt.
âGood, we can accuse that foreigner of being one of the Muslim Brothers. Bakri will be nothing once we have evidence. That b*stard still has some wealth, after all. Letâs catch ourselves a big one, hm? Hehehe!â
Abdulâs mood lifted. The higher-ups had told him not to touch the Orthodox Christians without clear evidence, but evidence could be created.
âYou guys look happy in the early morning. Can you see well?â
At the sudden voice, Abdul and Jawadi turned their necks quickly that it almost cracked. A tall Asian wearing a tobe with a keffiyeh pressed on his head, swaggered toward them. He had appeared out of nowhere, as though he had fallen off the sky or shot out of the ground.
âHeâs that, that b*stard, the foreigner whoâs staying in Bakriâs houseâŠâ
Abdulâs hand slipped into his breast pocket before Jawadi could finish talking.
The air separated. The Gorgon wrapped around Abdulâs arm like a falling meteorite.
âAaaagh!â an ear-splitting scream escaped from Abdulâs mouth.
The veins and muscles on his arm, which held the gun, were torn off. The gun fell to the ground as his wrist snapped. The diamond pieces coated on the whip ripped off even more skin, revealing white bones.
âShut up, or Iâll cut off your necks.â
The whip accelerated as it swung through the air and landed on a rock.
Pieces of rock scattered in the air. With a flick of his wrist, the whip shot up like a snakeâs head. The Gorgon wrapped itself around an olive branch of the thickness of an ankle. When he tugged his wrist, the branch sliced off and rolled on the ground.
Blue-tinted eyes swept past Abdul and Jawadi. Abdul trembled from the aftershock of having his arm nearly cut off. Abdulâs mouth shut like a clam at the vicious display of power.
Jawadi shivered and dared not to fight back. He didnât attempt to run because he feared the Gorgonâs power that heâd just witnessed.
âYou pieces of s****!â
Black Mamba silently smirked, revealing his white teeth. He hadnât understood the entire conversation, but he could guess from the words Azar, Bakri, women, inheritance, and a few more. He didnât have a fleaâs leg worth of consideration to treat trash like human beings.
The Gorgon stretched forward like a spear and pierced through Jawadiâs right shoulder. The five-pointed end snapped his muscle veins, ruptured his muscles, and disappeared.
âShut up. Donât you think itâs unfair for the other b*stard if youâre the only one unharmed? We need to be fair.â
Jawadi couldnât understand what the other person was saying, but he closed his mouth to the best of his abilities. He instinctively understood that if he screamed any further, heâd feel the whipâs power again.
The Gorgon flew through the air once more.
It unexpectedly tore off Abdulâs shirt, scratching his skin. Abdul and Jawadi stared blankly at Black Mamba in fear.
Abdul wrapped his bleeding arm with his torn shirt. Jawadi also took off his shirt and wrapped it around his shoulder.
Body language was enough to substitute an unfamiliar language. Abdul and Jawadi became docile like elementary children.
Bakri and Mohammad, who had been wandering around the entrance of the castleâs remains, widened their eyes. Three people were walking up the mountain. The Ddu-bai-buru-pa was herding two shirtless men like sheep.
The b*stard with a makeshift bandage around his arm was Mukhabaratâs Abdul, someone they had feared to make eye contact with. The other b*stard, whose shoulder was drenched in blood, was swaying from side to side. They couldnât believe that the humans who used to wield absolute power were in such a state.
âIâll lead you underground, sir.â
Bakri and Mohammad dragged the two men into the dark castle remains. Bakri lit an oil lamp and led them down the stairs. He was a very thorough person.
The basement was rather deep. They finally reached a leveled underground space after turning four flights of stairs. As rumored, the underground was eerie with rising thick pillars of stone. Further inside, a pillar had crumbled, causing the ceiling to collapse.
âGood! Letâs get straight to the point since there isnât much time.â
Black Mamba sat on the large stalactite base. Bakri volunteered and began to translate.
âWhoâŠwho are you?â Abdul, who was now used to the pain, questioned while clenching his teeth.
He received a ruthless reply in return.
âShut up. I ask, and you guys answer. I will break a finger every time you hesitate to answer. If you donât answer at all, I will peel your skin off.â
Abdul and Jawadiâs faces crumpled at Bakriâs translation.This is a nightmare. They tried to deny reality, but the pain in their arm and shoulder prevented them from doing so.
âName and affiliation?â
Jawadi gathered his courage and replied obediently.
âIâm Sarab Jawadi, a Shabiha member of the Aleppo regional branch.â
âYouâŠyou are Jawadi?â Mohammad trembled from head to toe.
His sister had muttered Jawadiâs name in between her cries.
âThatâŠthat b*stard. That b*stard is the one who raped Bassel!â
Damn, that b**** was Mohammadâs sister!
Jawadi returned to his senses and ran towards the stairs. Women had a low status within society in Arab countries, but rape wasnât acceptable. It was custom to put the raperâs p***s on a cutting board and chop it off. It would be fine to dismiss the accusation outside, but right now, it wasnât an ideal situation.
âThatâŠthat b*stard, catch him!â Mohammad stuttered.
The Gorgon stretched out like an arrow and wrapped around Jawadiâs ankle.
With the Gorgonâs flick, Jawadi soared across the air and landed beneath Black Mambaâs feet.
âBrat, youâre not a chicken head, so where are your revision skills?â
Black Mambaâs eyes turned emotionless.
Black Mamba was traumatized by rape. A light-red dot appeared above his white sclera.
Bloodlust exuded like mist. Jawadi, who had his ankle torn, couldnât scream. Mohammad pulled out a Khanjar.
âYou are before Sir Ddu-bai-buru-pa, Mohammad. Calm down.â
Bakri tapped on Mohammadâs shoulder. Bakriâs words had pacified Black Mamba instead.
âMohammad, I leave the clean-up to you. Donât rush the matter.â
âIâm sorry, sir. Iâve overstepped my boundaries.â
âItâs fine, I understand. Bakri, shoot him if he runs away.â
Black Mamba winked and threw Abdulâs gun at him.
âName and affiliation?â
Black Mambaâs eyes turned towards Abdul.
Abdul didnât interrupt while Bakri was translating. Abdulâs thumb was soon in Black Mambaâs hand.
Abdul resisted, but it was like hitting a raw egg against stone.
The sound of a cracking dry stone echoed.
Abdul screamed desperately when his thumb was pushed back toward his wrist. Black Mamba held his index finger.
âIf you make another sound, I will break another finger. I see thereâs still nine left.â
Abdul understood even without Bakriâs translation. He desperately held back an escaping scream. The b*stard before him, who had appeared as though heâd fallen off the sky, was a devil from hell.
The veins and white bones that were ripped off from his flesh glistened underneath the oil lamp. Mohammad and Bakri shivered. Bakri had suffered a greater shock. The apostle, who had been as warm as the spring wind, had turned colder than the northern blizzards. Was that fearful person the same apostle who had played with Wael and laughed around the dining table?
On the other hand, his chest grew warmer. He was the deacon of Syriaâs Orthodox Church. He couldnât do anything but watch with bloody tears as his fellow Christians were threatened, chased down, and powerless. Look, the way he had treated all the sinners sternly by firmly punishing themâwasnât that what an apostle who would bring changes to the world should look like?
âName and affiliation?â
Abdulâs mouth gave way after suffering a round of horrible torture.
âIâm Aziz Abdul of the Mukhabarat, Third Divisionâs Sharran officer of the Aleppo region.â
âAbdul, tell me the total number of the Mukhabarat, Third Division agents, and Shabiha in the Aleppo region.â
âThere are 14,300 people in the Aleppo region and 150 agents in the Third Division. There are about 20,000 Shabiha. There are 1,200 intelligence workers in the Third Division alone.â
Black Mamba was slightly surprised. The place looked like any other highlands with sparse villages. Countless police personnel had assembled around the peaceful village. Suddenly, he realized that he had made the right decision. Going against them would only cause problems.
âDo you know where the Muslim Brotherhood is located?â
âWe suspect theyâre in a region called Hraytan, a new town in Aleppo, but we havenât located them yet. Mohammad should know.â
At Bakriâs words, Black Mamba turned to look at Mohammad.
âThe Muslim Brotherhood is Syriaâs local militia, and its base is located in Hraytan, where it is made up of underground networks. After Assad bombed the Hama mosque, the central regionâs Sunni factionâs principalities started joining.â
âMohammad, you b*stard, you are a Muslim brother! Traitor, may you be cursed by Allah.â Abdul gritted his teeth.
âI am an Orthodox Christian and have nothing to do with Allah. Allah knows how many people have suffered because of your evil actions. You will receive Allahâs curse instead.â
Mohammad took off his shoes and slapped Abdulâs cheeks apathetically. Abdul began to scream as his cheeks swelled like baking bread.
âYouâŠyou b*stard! Do you think youâll be safe after this?â
Abdul gritted his teeth. Having his cheeks slapped was a greater humiliation than death.
âDonât worry about others, and worry about yourself instead.â
When Bakri stopped him, Mohammad spat on Abdul and stepped back.
âMohammad, do you know their figures?â
âTheir armed members are approximately 450 and the unarmed members around 2,000. The unarmed members usually lead the protests and riots. Ah, thereâs something you should know. Thereâs an ammunition factory in Sharran. Syriaâs military stands guard there.â
Black Mamba smiled, revealing his white teeth.
âTheyâre b*stards who donât know much. Iâve wasted my time. Thereâs no reason for them to live since theyâre useless.â
As soon as Black Mamba finished talking, Bakri pulled on the gun slider.
When the cold barrel touched his forehead, Jawadi started to protest.
âSave me! Why arenât you asking me anything? Bakri, Iâll tell you who killed your son!â
Black Mamba stood up effortlessly.
âBakri, you take care of the rest.â
âDdu-bai-buru-pa, sir, youâve granted us great honor.â
Bakri and Mohammad lowered their heads. Black Mamba, who was climbing the stairs, turned around.
âItâll be bad for them to act up.â
Abdul and Jawadi frowned. They knew the evil b*stardâs next move.
Abdul and Jawadiâs arm joints were pulled out, followed by their hip joints.
Bakri shoved the gun back into his chest pocket after realizing Black Mambaâs intentions.
âWeâll take care of them quietly.â
Black Mamba waved his hands as though he entrusted their lives to them and left the basement. There was a second underground basement below the one they were in. The place had an awful energy, and the eerie atmosphere kept poking at his senses.
Two lives perished from underground. Bakri and Mohammad had an overwhelming grudge. No way would they let a Muhkabarat and Shabiha live. If theyâd forgiven all sinners with a religious cause because of their beliefs, Black Mamba would have been disappointed.
Jawadiâs corpse was brutalized. His organs and tongue were taken apart while injuries decorated his entire body. Mohammadâs anger had exceeded Black Mambaâs expectations.
âDdu-bai-buru-pa, sir, Iâd like to burn these b*stards.â
Mohammadâs eyes gleamed.
âThey need to serve a better purpose. Bakri, do you have any sacks to put them in?â
âWe can use potato sacks, sir.â
Bakri left the basement in an instant.
âMohammad, I heard you run an organization. Slip the location of the Muslim Brotherhood to the Mukhabarat.â
âYes, sir. What should we do with their corpses?â
âTrash them in front of the Mukhabaratâs Third Divisionâs office. Even better if you write, âget rid of Allahâs enemy, Assad.â Hehehe!â
Bakri and Mohammad instantly understood. The plan was to have Allahâs enemy fight against each other.
âDdu-bai-buru-pa, sir, youâre sly and evil.â Bakri smiled easily.

âI donât like either Assad or the Muslim Brotherhood. Children grow by fighting each other.â
âHehehe! You are right, sir. Do you think the Mukhabarat would respond immediately?â
âA government worker is usually slow. Thereâs a joke about a dying person. A politician would ask for the personâs address, a religious follower would ask about the personâs wealth, the personâs children would ask for the password to his bank account, and a government worker would look for the regulations handbook. Government officials will only work quickly when their a**es are kicked. So, Iâll be kicking their a**.â
The two couldnât laugh. The joke was filled with bloodlust. The undergroundâs atmosphere turned colder at the fearsome beingâs joke.
