Chapter 29: Gang Wipeout (2)
"The Trident, is it?" said Aldrich as he made his way towards the Odinson boss The Trident A naet
The crianization that had killed his parents One of the largest international crime syndicates on the planet whose web of influence spread from North America all the way to East Asia Some of the most fa that organization was going to take time and power, but thankfully for Aldrich, he had time, and soon, he would have power that nobody could question
"Noould the Trident be dealing with a low-level no like you, hm?" said Aldrich
"You aren't Trident? Then what the hell do you ith me? Why would you kill my boys like that!? For what!?" said the boss
"For what? Let's be real here What were you going to do otherwise? Knock me out and kill me? Do whatever you wanted withyour mens' skulls from their spines?" said Aldrich He manifested a coin from his palm "I wanted to barter and trade fairly You attacked me I defended myself And now, you pay"
Aldrich took a bolter pistol and shot three rounds into the Odinson boss's shi+eld before it clicked eainst the shi+eld and pinged off harmlessly Fairly in, but their h notoriously inaccurate and prone to ja, packed a massive punch
"You can't hurt ainst the wall of the tech rooy fed into hih power here to put this shi+eld up for hours
Other noonna' come knockin', and when they do, you better for ready for a fucking war"
"Trust me, it won't come to that," said Aldrich He analyzed the fact that the boss was still breathing Oxygen still passed through that barrier He got up real close to the boss, right in front of the barrier, and put a hand in front of it
"[Horror Warp]" said Aldrich, chanting the spell There was no direct need to chant the name of the spell, but he realized that ithis cast tiathered around his hand, and within this black cloud were glowing red eyeballs that stared hungrily at the boss
"Hope you have nice dreams When you wake up, I'll make sure you're in a better mood to talk," said Aldrich as he walked away The [Horror Warp] passed through the boss's barrier
"W-what!?" said the boss His eyes widened in terror as the spell enveloped his face He started to choke for a second before he fell to his knees and planted on the floor face first, drooling He shi+vered and shook every so often, blinking rapidly and growing pale and whihtmare, and indeed, he was
"Now, you two" Aldrich looked over to the counter where the technos hid They were still cowering under the desk "Get up before I put a bolt through both your skulls"
The two technos stood up with ar in terror They were skinnier than the other Odinsons with visor goggles and mohawks Notably, they had sockets in their skulls which they could use to jack into technology and interface with it directly with their brains
"P-please, we'll give you anythin'! Anythin' you want, ot it!" they said

Valera h the dark hallway like a specter of bloody carnage She spied three ed weapon at her from several meters away Before they could fire, she [Dashed] behind them
"Teleportation!?" one of them exclaimed in surprise before Valera took his head and sainst a wall
"And super strength!? How many powers does she have!?"
"Just shoot! Shoot!"
Valera punched a hole straight through one man before he could fire and used his body as a shi+eld to tank bolter shots The corpse shuddered as bolts blew off large chunks from its back
"Peek-a-boo," said Valera as she lowered the corpse skewered on her ar red and black eyes wide in exciteer
"Help! I need help! He-," began the man before his head blew apart from a powerful punch
Valera activated her [Blood Sense], detecting the presence of warh the walls She shuddered in ecstasy at how h the hallway and entered the living rooet out of their drug induced stupors and get their bolter pistols ready
Valera's eyes darted from side to side Six ht in front of the nearest Odinson The Odinson's eyes widened as he saw her hands dug into his guts
"Bye bye," said Valera as she tore the ht in half She closed her eyes in bliss and bathed in the blood and gore, all of it fueling her [Crimson Furnace] shi+eld
"Shoot! Shoot! Kill her!"
Bolt after bolt fired at Valera They pierced through her blood barrier as they were physical day attacks, but when they reached her body, her bare, pale skin, they crumpled up and bounced off like they had hit a wall of indestructibleAlter is she!? She's so Godda!"
"Doesn't ! Erik, use your power! Beat her ass!"
"Oh? Sorotesque smile flashed as she looked around
One of the men, Erik, presumably, shuddered and convulsed before his shi+rt ripped apart His flesh turned red as he swelled up to a size of threeeveryone in the room He had to hunch his head so as to fit in the room, and his thick muscles made it obvious how much power he had
"Yes, that's more like it," said Valera She threw the two halves of thetheh-speed impact throws aimed expertly to cave their skulls in

"Yeah? You'll do anything?" Aldrich tossed the Elden World coin he hadthe bolter pistol at theht? Especially jewelry Appraise that I want to knohat it's worth
One of the technos shakily took the coin and stared at it, tapping his visor goggles The goggles whirred as they focused on the coin
"Holy sht…where'd you get this, man?" said the techno
The coin shone a sheen of old and the size of a rooved and the face of the coin carved with the face of a beautiful wo locks of wondrously patterned hair
"The way this face is carved and the hair,on this sht?" said the techno as he held it up for the other one to look "Pure artistry Who ot the infor for Looked like coins orth so in this world He waved the technos forward "Give ot it, boss," said the techno as he flipped the coin over
Aldrich nabbed the coin in his palm and disappeared it into his inventory
"Now for what I really want," said Aldrich "One of you decrypt this"
He reached into Ghost's bag that he had carried with hiot it! A h this in a couple min," A techno took the phone and took it to another table where he connected it via cable to a computer screen He jacked into the computer with the socket in his head
"And you," Aldrich pointed to the re you have I need theot it, man," said the techno "You think you can spare us that coin for it? Some of our CIDs are real fuckin' expensive It ain't easy or cheap to get around Net securities"
"How about a bolt instead?" said Aldrich as he raised the barrel of the bolter pistol right at the techno's face "Neveret out of this with your lives, you do what I say Get to fucking work"
"G-got it, man!" the techno hurried over to the back of the room and opened a locked cabinet where countless license cards sat neatly arranged in black drawers He took a whole drawer and put it down on the counter in front of Aldrich
"Take your pick, ot private investigator CIDs, police CIDs, even CIDs for the big fuckin' otta' sneak into headquarters and steal sht
