Chapter 268 - Info Broker of the Dead (1/2)
Day 314: 4:03 P.M
Osaka Streets: Bang Gunstore
(Chiaki's View)
We were ordered by Kota and Shoko to not go out unless we are called. Right now, we are witnessing the latter two confronting a few thugs who managed to enter the store. Yuya is already prepared to charge in but the two keeps on signalling us to just stay still and watch. Although we knew how dangerous it was, we are being told by the two to let them handle this.
Then, someone came in and I thought that this customer is not very lucky to encounter this. It is not a good idea to proceed inside the store with thugs aiming guns at the clerks of the store. Then, I noticed Shoko smile before she started speaking to the new guy whi just arrived.
”Ah! Perfect timing Kyosei, can you take out the trash for a moment? It will just be a little bit so you don't need to be so wary.”
”Hey?! Who said you can talk?! Do you want me to blast your head off?!” the guy holding her at gunpoint threatened her. He was so close pulling the trigger but it seems like he managed to hold it in instead.
”Oh my, how scary indeed,” Shoko did not remove the smile on her face.
”What would I do once I get to clean up the ”trash”? Is there any sort of reward I should be expecting with?” the guy who just arrived asked. For some reason, his voice is familiar but I can't see the guy in the direction I was hiding in so I can only try to wait for him to get into the view.
”Of course, one service free of charge, will that suffice?” Shoko offered.
”Good,” he answered, accepting the offer.
And with that is the beginning of the one sided slaughter. The scenes was like played in a movie where the protagonist of the movie wrecked apart his enemies without mercy, except, it happened before my eyes. I looked at Yuya and I saw him staring wide eyed and mouth agape. This might be the first time he have seen people die in front of him. I am immune to those things as I have seen it plenty of times before so there is nothing for me to be so surprised and scared about on the person.
And with that, the hostage taking was put to a very abrupt end after the slaughter with the customer who has done that remained standing with his bloody weapon and a gun on both hands.
”Superb moves as always Kyosei. You don't disappoint. I also notice that you are now using guns in your fighting style. I never thought you would incorporate fighting using a gun in close range battles,” Kota said as he fixes his shirt collar.
”Indeed. I heard you stick to melee most of the time so it was a surprise to see you use the gun right now,” Shoko nodded, agreeing on Kota's astute observation.
”Although I indeed prefer to use melee, that doesn't mean using a gun is not something I would do. I will use everything at my disposal to get the job done,” he answered while flicking the blood from his machete that seems to be glowing like those metals and weapons Kota showed to me before.
”True enough. Anyways, since you have taken the request and we have indeed promised you one service for free, you can now ask us what service you wanted us to perform for free,” Shoko smiled.
”I don't know if you guys wanted to look professional at all times despite the recent incident just now threatening your lives,” he said with some sort of sarcasm on his tone.
”Of course we are professionals. We can't just let a single kind of problem like this ruin our reputation of being professionals in the business.”
