Sigh.
The black car came to a halt with a harsh brake sound, and the eyes of the gangsters guarding the entrance to the warehouse, which were still bloodstained, became ferocious.
It’s been an hour since the Borkov Mafia took control of Hindel Bionic’s warehouse.
It wasn’t that there weren’t warehouses of other companies in the vicinity, but the vehicle approached openly in a situation where they didn’t even look this way, so my eyes were naturally strained.
“hey.”
“All right.”
The dignified man gave a sneaky glance, and a few nodded and headed toward the vehicle with a condescending movement.
Largely swollen shoulders and a suit that still has blood stains on it.
The savage face and the ghastly atmosphere radiating from the whole body exuded the momentum that would cut someone to pieces at any moment, and it was obvious that ordinary people would turn away without saying a word.
“We are not open for business today. Come back later… huh!”
but.
After checking the man’s face as he opened the car door, the gangster’s face turned white and he hurriedly lowered his back.
“Are you here!”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the loud shouting, and the reaction of other gang members who confirmed the man’s face was not too different.
“Are you here!”
An ill-fitting trench coat, a neat suit and tie, neatly combed hair and a slightly tired-looking face.
He was a typical salaryman, and he had an appearance that he would have to avoid if he saw the mafia, but it was the mafia that came to his mind.
“Good job.”
“no!”
That would be a natural reaction to anyone who knew John.
“Whew.”
Lucas unknowingly blew a whistle at the angular appearance, as if he were looking at the military rather than the mafia, and John moved casually among the men lined up like that.
“What have you done to these guys?”
Lucas asked if he was curious, and John responded calmly.
“not really.”
John looked over at the mobsters, who lowered their heads to avoid meeting his gaze, and continued.
“I didn’t do anything.”
“···No way.”
Lucas shook his head and followed John.
***
“Here you are.”
“Mr. Doe.”
Igor and Lloyd greeted John as he reached the depths of the warehouse behind the mafia’s strict vigil.
“Igor.”
Igor’s eyes met John’s words and exchanged greetings, then turned to Lucas.
“Hoo. See this?”
Although he appears to be a bland gentleman on the outside, Lucas can see the wildness hidden in those eyes at a glance, and madness begins to shine in his eyes.
How to recognize a beast.
Since they recognized each other as beasts, it was necessary to organize the ranks, and Igor’s mouth opened to reveal his molar teeth when he saw a cold smile blooming on Lucas’ lips.
The moment when it seemed like the wizard and the lycanthrope would run towards each other.
“That’s the inspection team. I have been contacted.”
A subtle aura rose from Lloyd’s body, who slipped between the two, and at that moment, the momentum of the two slowly died.
“…Major Lloyd Buck. I didn’t expect you to be in a place like this.”
Lucas’ face hardened as he judged Lloyd’s skill at once, but the smile on Lloyd’s lips did not go away.
“this. Did the Inspectors know my name? I thought I was living an honest life.”
Lucas snorted lightly at Lloyd’s smirk.
“If you don’t know Major Lloyd Buck, the special instructor of the National Guard, then you are dereliction of duty.”
“I’m not that great.”
Lloyd laughed, but Lucas was well aware of how great and dangerous Lloyd was.
National Guard Special Mobile Infantry Battalion.
It is the core of the Defense Force, which is made up of all talented people and is led by the superhuman Colonel Straydom.
And Lloyd is the one who oversees the training of the Special Mobile Infantry Battalion.
Although not known to the general public, he is one of the key figures in the National Guard, and of course he is an important target for the inspection team.
“huh.”
Igor, who saw the two of them, turned around and stood next to John.
“Nice find.”
“I ordered you to find it, so it’s natural for you to find it.”
Igor responded to John’s words, and the two men stared at the scene unfolding before their eyes.
huge cave.
A huge cave that seemed like it could be easily accessed by a large truck had its mouth open, and it led to an abyss underground where not a single light could be seen.
“I was thinking of going in, but.”
Chick.
Igor put the tobacco in his mouth and continued.
“I didn’t feel good. I thought it was dangerous to go in with our children who were still unripe.”
“Right.”
Lycanthrope.
It is a relic of the Great War era, and Igor’s intuition, which has a strong lineage, was not to be ignored.
After Ivan’s work, Igor’s intuition, which focused on strengthening his abilities as well as renewing his organization, is close to foresight, at least in the sense of crisis.
If Igor is dangerous, he is dangerous.
“I thought it was dangerous too.”
Lucas listened to Lloyd’s words.
“…Isn’t this unusual?”
Lucas’s face hardened and mana ran through his whole body.
An ordinary looking cave.
It looked like his hair was getting softer without a single light shining through, but there was no one here who would be afraid of such a thing.
Their eyes, all of which are capable, see something different.
“…Your ability doesn’t stretch. It feels like the cave itself is resisting this ability.”
“…It’s the same with magic power. The detection magic disappeared in the middle.”
John’s ability, which has continued to develop, is to the point where he can grasp everything within 500 meters if he sets a direction and deploys it.
However, John’s ability, which had spread to the cave like that, was unable to extend beyond a certain point.
“It is broken by the aura, but… resistance is strong It takes more force than usual.”
Lloyd tapped the entrance of the cave with his hand and said.
jump!
It was a light hand movement, but since it was a hand with an aura, nothing stood in front of it, and the cave was the same, but if you listen to Lloyd’s words, isn’t it a story that it is more exhausting than usual?
“It’s not an ordinary cave.”
Everyone nodded at John’s murmur, and at that moment, what came to John’s head was certainty.
‘Right. It’s a mutant.’
Although he threw off his human womb and possessed a bizarre appearance and powerful fighting abilities to match, it is not enough to call mutants extinct.
There were several specific reasons, one of which was the strong resistance to abilities.
Although not at the level of adamantium, mutants basically have a strong ability to resist abilities, and have strong defensive abilities that do not budge even with moderate bullets.
It is thanks to the bodily fluids secreted from the body, and the special organs created by mutating into mutants constantly secrete bodily fluids throughout the body.
And by applying such bodily fluids where necessary, resistance to abilities is given, and the ‘nest’ centered on the mother body is transformed into an impregnable fortress.
‘I found it well.’
And since such a mutant was walking, it must have been reinforced with bodily fluids, and the passage was in front of John’s eyes.
I couldn’t even guess what dangers might be hidden in this cave, but if I went all the way to the end, I would definitely be able to reach the mother body, and if it was still immature, there was a high possibility that I would be able to finish it off.
‘This is up to the player.’
I was going to just quietly move on, but Lina was attacked, and if that’s the case, it’s no one else’s business anymore.
“after.”
John let out a light sigh and put the revolver in his hand.
clap.
The faces of the party hardened at the sound of determination as strong as the weight.
“Are you going?”
John laughed at Igor’s question.
“I have to go. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the request. I don’t know what’s at the end of this, but wouldn’t there be at least something that Hindel Bionic cherished?”
A chilly smile appeared on John’s lips, and a sense of life welled up.
“Then I’ll have to go.”
Igor’s mouth parted, his fangs glistening, and Lloyd let out a sigh.
“I don’t feel good, but I can’t help it.”
clap.
As if he had taken it out of his subspace pocket, Lloyd’s pistols were in both hands.
It was an ordinary-looking pistol, but since Lloyd was holding that gun, it was clear that he could count on one hand those who could guarantee that he would be safe in front of him the moment that pistol vomited fire.
Fire.
“I came here for this, but of course I have to go.”
As the temperature around him heated up, Lucas’ fingertips lit up.
It was a flame the size of a thumb, but no one could grasp the power and firepower it contained, and Igor and Lloyd made faces of admiration.
The flames of the chant’s nearly insignificant speed showed how great a wizard Lucas was.
“It’s decided.”
Igor turned his head to meet the tense gang member.
“Pick everything up and control the entire warehouse. Don’t let anyone approach you.”
“Yes! boss!”
With a loud cry, the organization member turned around and ran away, and Igor nodded and turned around.
“Then let’s go.”
that buck
The solver, the inspectorate, the mafia and the defense forces set foot toward the cave that exudes a vicious aura.
***
“How are things going?”
“This is a request for funds!”
“Secure the stock! Get a premium!”
The large office looks like a battlefield.
On the huge screen that occupies one side of the wall, the elongation graph was fluctuating, and the joy and sorrow of the people in the office intersect from time to time.
Each tried to get what they wanted, sometimes shouting, sometimes placating each other with communication devices in their ears.
And looking at the mayhem, Rupert stood firm with a firm expression.
Whoever is the owner shouldn’t show his emotions easily.
Although he did not receive a proper management class, the mindset his father taught him was one of the principles that sustained him.
“boss.”
“Report.”
A light of relief appeared on the reporter’s face at the charismatic voice and pylon-like appearance.
“… funds are running low. If we don’t fill up just in case…”
“Go to the finance director and ask for number 3. Then you will understand.”
“thank you!”
He hurriedly lowered his head and briefly looked at the back of the temple as he ran away. He looked reassured, but his insides were burning black.
slush fund.
In the process of expanding the business, he suffered huge losses, and he does not like the situation of having to tear down slush funds that he had not touched in the meantime.
up
His teeth gnashed and his face contorted, but Rupert desperately held it in.
Because I couldn’t show myself shaking in front of the staff.
That time when I silently stared at the mayhem-like office with such a burning heart.
“···boss.”
“···say.”
The secretary approached quietly from behind and gave a secret voice.
“It is said that the fixer is vacant. The mafia is also getting out of the zone.”
“···Right.”
His fists clenched involuntarily and his face flushed red.
It is rewarding to throw a warehouse as bait.
“Tell them to start right away.”
“Yes!”
A cold smile appeared on Rupert’s lips as he sensed the presence of his secretary, who answered confidently and quickly disappeared.
