Nero made his way through the floor he was on killing a few Hell Greeds on the way before he made his way to a large room that had various coins, dollars, diamonds, and jewels spilled over the floor. In the center of the room was a makeshift throne sitting behind a large desk with piles of money and safety deposit boxes sitting on top of it. Sitting behind the desk was the hulking form of Alighiero. The Vice President of the bank picked up a safety deposit box and ripped it open with his bare hands and dumped it's contents onto the desk. A expensive silver pocket watch, some pictures, a few stacks of bills fell onto the table. Alighiero examined the pictures which appeared to be some wedding pictures.
"What a waste! People have no idea what really matters in life. And that's money and riches!" Said Alighiero before he ripped the pictures to shreds.
"I beg to differ." Said Nero with a tiny bit of anger.
"I bet you think that family, friends, and love are the things that matter in life. Well that's a load of crap! I've been around for a fair amount of time and let me tell you something! None of those things will get you far in this world! I turned my back on all that and I eventually became the Vice President of one of the world's greatest banks! Now I have received a great blessing from Avarice and I am truly a great man with power! Anyone who says anything else or still clings to the idea of money not being the most important thing in the world, is a fool and shall die by my hands!" Said Alighiero.
"I guess will see about that. You really are a piece of work." Said Nero with a bit of disgust.
"Avarice will reward me greatly for killing you." Said Alighiero with a greedy look in his eyes.
"I guess he will. Why don't you just save us both a bit of time and trouble and just handover your key." Said Nero.
"How no. Instead I kill you." Said Alighiero before he pulled out a card key and swallowed it.
"They always choose violence." Muttered Nero.
Alighiero stood up and hurled the desk at Nero! Nero sliced the desk in half and the two halves flew past him spilling money and treasure onto the floor before crashing into a wall. Alighiero charged at Nero swinging a large mace that seemed to be made of melted gold with diamonds and jewels imbedded in it. Sword met mace and Nero was sent skidding back. Alighiero advanced towards Nero and swung his mace at him, only to have Nero sidestep him and delivered a sword slice to his belly opening a tear in it and causing some coins to spill out. Alighiero screeched in pain and rage before he backhanded Nero knocking him through the air. Nero flipped through the air and landed on his feet a few yards away.
"So you're also a piggy back." Said Nero as he watched the tear in Alighiero's belly mend itself.
Alighiero glared at Nero and ran to some safety deposit boxes. He struck them with his mace and sent them flying at Nero! Nero batted them aside with his sword and decided to do a little throwing of his own. He picked up a bar of gold from the floor and hurled it at Alighiero. The bar of gold spun through the air and struck Alighiero in the forehead stunning him.
"Time to make a withdrawal!" Said Nero as he charged forward and kicked the mace from Alighiero's hands.
Nero then proceeded to deliver multiple slashes to Alighiero's belly tearing it open and making coins and other treasures spill out onto the floor.
"Noooooooooo! My money! My money! My money! My money!" Screamed Alighiero as he tried to desperately grab the spilling money.
Nero kicked Alighiero in the shin causing the Vice President to fall onto his right side and continue spilling money. He located the car key and picked it up.
"My...money! My...money!" Gasped Alighiero.
"Looks like money isn't the most important thing in life." Said Nero.
Alighiero let out one final gasp and died. Nero cast one last look at his enemy and left the room.
To be continued.
