While taking a few pictures, Hector arrived at the office of Mussolini. If not here, it was going to be hard to find the man.

Benito Mussolini was a bald short man, just 5'6" tall, but at least he was one inch taller than Stalin. He was now old and fat, also useless since he was just a puppet.

Hector had no respect or thoughts about him. For Hitler? Well, Hector saw him as an intelligent fool. After World War 1, Germany had to pay so much money in reparations that their economy tanked. And then came the great depression which made things worse. Life was extremely bad in Germany, and Hitler singlehandedly brought the country out of it.

The truth of the matter was if Germany had stopped their expansion after Austria and some other nearby regions the world would have ignored them. Even if they had started exterminating Jews the world would have ignored it. But since Hitler's ambitions turned too big for Germany to swallow, they poked feathers they shouldn't have and started expanding the West.

Mussolini was just another fool along the way. "Come on out, I know you're in there. See, if you come with me, you will not die by being handed over to the people, you will get a fair trial."

"Will you spare me?" A head popped up from behind a table. Mussolini came out, his face looking tired and scared.

Hector nodded, "Of course, If you will just take me to the Nazi General then you will have your ass secured."

"You want my ass?" Mussolini asked, unaware of the 21st century's humour.

*Sigh* "Just take me to the Nazi General," He put a rope around Mussolini's neck and told him to lead the way. It was dehumanising but the guy was scared. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

He took him across the entire palace and brought him underground. In his way Hector killed a lot of SS soldiers, these were the most elite, probably protecting the General.

After descending 3 floors, they arrived at a door, "Is this the one?" he inquired.

Mussolini nodded honestly. Hector abruptly lifted him by his neck, "Thank you for your service, boy, if you survive this, I will let you go and be trialled normally."

"What d... ARGH!"

Hector slammed Mussolini's body onto the metal door as hard as he could to break it. In the end, the door did break open, but along with it, Mussolini's ribcage broke. The man was still alive, however. Throwing him to the side to cry in agony, he proceeded in, "Sad, you didn't die, it would've been painless. Now you will wish that you died. I'll be back soon."

Leaving the man in his own puddle of blood, Hector arrived inside a large room, it was like a bunker actually, all around there were thick concrete walls. There were 5 soldiers and the General. They didn't even shoot him, knowing he was a supersoldier. 'Red Demon' was indeed a very terrifying name to folks.

"Albert Kesselring?" Hector pointed at the man with the best looking uniform.

"Why are you looking left and right? Just come with me, you have lost Italy, it's better to surrender." Hector said, politely for now. But they didn't understand this simple thing.

"I will kill myself rather than surrender," Albert Kesselring shouted.

*BANG BANG...* Using his revolver, Hector showered the 5 guards with bullets and killed them right there. Then he went forward while activating his crossroads demon power. He was not making a deal, just scaring the General by looking demonic.

Moony stopped, realising there was no point in fighting, as he silently tried to contact Hector through the mental bond they shared.

"STOP! Leave Moony alone,"

A few soldiers had heard the cries and had come to the terrace with their guns. The man looked back, Moony in his arms now, "You are in the presence of Romulus, pests. Leave, or die."

*BANG*

The soldiers shot, noticing the blood dripping from Moony. Romulus zigzagged from among the gunshots and reached the soldiers, *SLASH* Just one wide swing was all it took to cut the men in half. They died immediately. Strange enough, this was the biggest loss the troops in Rome faced today. 10 soldiers were dead in an instant.

Romulus just leapt away from there after killing them, directly landing inside the colosseum. Moony was fine, he felt weak due to blood loss but his body had started to heal.

He saw everything where he was being taken with his intelligent eyes. There were some secret facilities under the large colosseum. It seemed unlike any laboratory he had ever seen before, the best one was where his dad got injected with that strange blue water.

"AWOOOO..." He exclaimed in worry as soon as he noticed Logan there too, tied to a wall, arms and legs apart. There were pipes connected to the back of his head.

Logan's eyes opened as soon as he heard Moony, he angrily growled right then, "Fucker, we had a deal, you were to leave him alone."

Romulus ignored his words with a snarky reply, "I did let him live for so many days. It is your mistake that you didn't specify the terms clearly."

Logan looked at him with a deep hateful gaze, anger burning in his eyes, Moony was the kindest being to him, he never asked for anything or would ever backstab. Hector, too, was a great friend and elder to him now, as the man never asks for anything from him and instead keeps him under his security umbrella.

He had noticed that ever since he had joined Hector, his life had become much more stable, even with all the adventures, it was calm. So, when Hector was not there and his past came hunting, he had to save Moony.

"You're a stupid cunt. He might not have cared if it was just me, but you took away his only family from him. He has nothing to lose now and everything to gain. You're basically fucked, your entire ancient existence doesn't mean jack-shit when you mess with entities beyond your understanding. Fuck, I don't even know what he is." Logan blurted, threatening voice clear.

He then talked to Moony, reassuring him, "Don't worry, bub, he will come soon now."

Romulus didn't even entertain him anymore and passed Moony's body to another man who felt like a wolf to Moony, "Connect him as well,"

~Dad, come fast,~ Moony muttered in his mind.
