Chapter 390: Heist Intrusion 3

"shi+t…one of the seven freaking swords?" said Tox Her lavender skin rippled like jello, transferring her shock froends in merctalk"

"And we aren't?" said Alexis, her arht way she carried herself "Come on We're Blackwater We were ends"

"Key word is 'train'," said Tox "Ace is the only one here who can put up a real fight against theht," said Ace He clenched his fists, a sheen of faint blue energy covering it "I've always been ready Meteor Labs has been calling my name for ten years now All those experi to pay them back for it, fifth sword or not"

"Ease up, son," said Diamondback Unlike when he talked with Alan or especially Falco, his tone was not patronizing It had reater strength and training experience "I get how you feel Half this crew's got a grudge against the Trident in some way, shape or form

I'm the same The attack on the Spearhorns five years back took eance in your body, it s, but it'll cloud your eyes" He tapped his mind "Your mind"

"Then what do you propose?" said Stella "This heist's danger level just got notched up a hell of a lot On that 1 to 5 rating scale of yours, I reckon it's a fat five by now"

"I would say a four," said Diamondback "The fifth sword isn't at his best"

"I injured him," said Clint "A serious injury, too The Fifth Sword, Shuten Doji, he metabolizes alcohol and converts it into a variety of powers I ot aith his life that day, but his powers aren't what they used to be, and with how a that modern medicine can cure"

"Which is confirmed by his recent activity," said Diamondback "Of which there is none"

"None until now," Tox said "Injured or not, doesn't change the fact that a sword is in there"

"Doesn't change anything!" said Falco, grinningdown a sword' to our resumes"

"Dude, do you even have a resu 'are you serious right now?' "This is like if some homeless crackhead decided to apply for CEO of a Fortune corp shi+t, at least the crackhead'll just get laughed at and rejected, you do this, you just fucking die"

"Ain't no treasure without danger," said Falco

"Hey, that sounds like me," said Clint

Falco nodded "If I want to lead the Hawks, I need their respect Just like how you put all the Spearhorns under your banner with the Bushi+do Break, I want to do so that'll make everyone in my tribe look up at me"

"I don't know," said Alan, the other newbie here "This is…risky We only have around an hour before the storm's cover lifts, and if we aren't out by then, the chances of reinforceh

Won't be conventional personnel, but if Meteor Labs is that i tough flying supers our way

If the fifth sword is there, the chances of this operation taking over an hour goes up exponentially If reinforceet here before we can reach the vaults and the Kryptic, things will get dicey quick"

"Willing to weigh risks Now that's what I like to see on a newbie," said Diamondback

"I want toit, then there's no point," said Alan "I want to be alive at the end of it all Standing over their rubble"

"Wisely put," said Diamondback He addressed everyone broadly "As it stands, Alan's risk assessment is correct The fifth sword isn't an impossible obstacle to overcome, especially with Clint But the issue is the time it'll take to deal with hiotten," said Clint "But he had an i wearin' hi with this heist have increased significantly as well," said Diamondback "We now have the chance to take out one of the seven swords More than a handful of swords will be present in Blackwater, and considering the fifth being here, it's likely he's going to be stationed there as well
