Chapitre 34: Chaos is Music 1
[Viperpool Gambling Den, Area 5. Sunday 8:20 PM]
I walked to the establishment and walked inside.
"Yes?"
"I'm looking for a Jade bracelet, one that can protect me from ancient spirits"
"..."
The woman at the counter who seemed to be a woman in her forties blew out smoke as she removed the cigarette on her lips and decided to smile.
"Oh my those Jades can cost you a sum"
"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of Blue lilies with me"
Another coded message, it's quite tiring really but this one is on report anyways.
She then taps under the table and a door opens behind her, using her head she gestures to go inside.
I walked inside and kept my stride.
As the report says, it's a gambling den. The members lure unsuspecting victims and make them gamble. Preferably naive rich people that wandered in Bluelights by being referred to.
I kept walking till the end of the gambling hall, I found myself in a much more luxurious gambling room.
Some. Men glared at me. But I didn't seem to care, I went near a guard and said.
"I need San Pablo in the line, the lines are missing"
The guard looked at me suspiciously, but with my enigmatic expression, he just started walking.
"What's your relationship with the boss?"
"Mind your own business, if you want I'll tell you a secret"
"never mind"
Yeah, having a lot of secrets in the underworld will undoubtedly make you an enemy of many. So it's rather preferable to mind your own business.
He led me to a room and opened it for me, I went inside and the guard stayed behind. I walked inside of an office, a very luxuriously decorated office.
"hm? Who are you?"
"Someone who would destroy the entirety of Viperpool"
"huh?"
I aimed my pistol at his head. The man was sitting on a luxurious chair and desk.
—fwit~
It has a suppressor so it didn't make a loud noise. Thankfully the man on the desk fell backwards on his chair making no noise as he died.
I started checking important documents. On his table, there's not a single document done properly, even checking the ledger.
I sighed.
"What the hell"
The only important information here is the items recorded and the amount of income the whole establishment.
"Guard come in"
I threw the man who died sitting out on the floor, when the man came in I sat on the desk myself.
"W-what is this?"
The guard, perplexed, has become warier.
"a cleanup"
I pointed at the documents on the desk.
"Higher-ups orders, complain if you want"
He simply gulped and took the dead man out, he seemed too calm for it. Seems like he was in here long enough to see this kind of development.
I took the ID and a lot of employee information. With them as a reference, I made a fake ID.
I made a fake facemask too with a new face and placed all the information on OS which I sent to Sophia.
By 9 she would be here already.
I walked out of the office with a clipboard. The guard was still there.
"Call the staves, the high ranking ones. I need to declare something here"
"A-ah of course"
The guard jogged off, he was in a hurry the words 'Higher ups' seemed effective as he was sweating profusely.
After a few minutes, they gathered in the luxurious gambling room.
"Just to tell all of you, Higher-ups have seen this shitty management all of you made, Godfather has lost a few zeros thanks to your shitty mishaps"
They have their heads lowered, I mentioned godfather to make the situation heavier, and since I knew the coded messages it just added to my credibility.
"I-is it because of Jin?"
"What did he do?"
I said in an annoyed manner like I know who he is. I can't let my act be seen so I went along with it.
"W-well… "
He stumbled on his words for a bit and then said in a clear voice.
"He used the vans in our branch and kidnapped a kid"
I shook, but I didn't let it show and made a grumpy look. Even putting a finger between my brows.
"Okay… okay, did Godfather tell him so?"
There's a high chance he's Ezekiel. It has to. The man in front of me has a grim expression. They probably think I'm an extreme loyalist to Riley.
"No"
They shook their head, I couldn't help but sigh
"Bring me to him, and resume positions"
"B-but Jin's orders not to touch him!"
"Yeah, yeah I need to at least report something do I?"
It seems the men still don't fully trust me, but they knew that I went inside with all of the coded messages correct.
And if they ever made the mistake of attacking me here they probably think that they'll get killed. Which makes my position higher than any of them.
Since thanks to my lies none opposed me, I asked one of the men, seemingly high ranking, to guide me to the storage area, it was a place full of boxes that were labelled fragile.
"Okay, in the ledger these are supposed to be marbles, tiles and furniture?"
"... Alcohol"
"Hah… ordering alcohol is fine but to do it this much, the fool has no integrity"
"Well.. "
"Just call me Azlo"
"Okay, Boss Azlo what do we do?"
"What do you mean what do we do? Everything was already reported, all this shit is going to be handled by me."
"Ah"
"Go, I need to do work here"
The man bowed while he left the storage room, he was polite so as not to offend me, I left a good impression.
"Ezekiel, are you here?"
No response.
"Ezekiel?!"
I yelled a bit loudly. When I was about to call for the third time I heard knocking, specifically on a wood surface.
I started running around trying to find this knocking sound, it was weak, so I had to rely on my senses.
Roaming the whole place, I finally got to the origin of the noise, it was on the back of the storage as one of the boxes labelled 'Flammable'
Prying the box open I looked inside to see a weak child weakly knocking on the surface of the wooden box.
"Ezekiel!"
"Brother… "
He was weak, then I looked at his wrists, it was a sign of struggle. As his hands were roughed up with subtle wounds.
"You idiot you can't properly control your blood yet!"
"I'm sorry… "
"Don't be you're the victim here"
I walked out of the storage house carrying Ezekiel on my back. It's probably dangerous to exit at the entrance but there is also another option to get out of here.
It's the Fire Exit.
It's just at the end of this very same hallway. I walked there swiftly and made sure that none were following me.
I sent another message to Sophia about my location using OS.
"Ezekiel, what happened?"
"I was… buying fried chicken like always"
"mhmm"
"I felt like someone was watching me so I decided to go back but… the man already caught up to me and then a van appeared like it was waiting. Then I woke up here"
"... Alright. I have called my subordinate here, her name is Sophia, so just stay outside alright? And hide"
"okay.. "
When we got out of the fire exit I placed Ezekiel in a corner where he could hide and gave him a water jug and some food I kept inside my storage.
"Stay safe."
But when I'm about to go back I heard an angry scream.
"You did what?!"
Ezekiel froze in place, looking at his expression is probably the same guy who kidnapped him. I feel no fear in Ezekiel, but he is too young. He can't handle this.
I patted his head and walked back inside. I already know what will happen to this place with me in it.
As I kept my stride in the hall back in the establishment. I saw a man in a suit, bald and with a sharp gaze.
"You!?"
Since I'm wearing a face mask they don't know who I am complete.
"And who are you?"
"How come you didn't know me? I'm the left hand of Jin!"
Jin. That name is the one who is the mastermind of kidnapping my brother.
"So? Is godfather aware?"
The bald man shook, the word godfather has a good effect. But then he looked at me with his sharp eyes once again.
"Tsk, you better keep your eyes pried open, Jin doesn't like having things get in his way"
"I'll remember that"
There are a lot of tall men in here, fortunately so am I. Well, if you're looking at an average height of a man that is. I'm only 162cm.
I grow fast, don't I?
Back on track, the bald man left with a troubled sigh, he didn't check the storage, didn't he?
Well that's for the better, aside from fragile there are also flammables in the storage, I plan on using those.
After the bald man left after confirming what was happening here I decided to hurry up with my plan, I went back to the office and collected all the documents and ledgers.
Then I looked at the time. [9:25 PM]
I took deep breaths, it was time. I took out a small remote with multiple buttons on it and a small screen that could only show a timer.
I placed multiple remote-controlled bombs in the storage. Especially on the boxes with flammable labels.
It was when I was looking around for Ezekiel that I planted these things. Well more like throwing them in the gaps.
But that didn't matter.
I went out of the establishment with a clipboard and nobody questioned my actions.
I kept the remote in my pocket to keep it hidden. When I'm still walking out of the establishment I received a message via OS.
[Sophia:I have evacuated Ezekiel]
I let out a breath and grabbed the remote in my pocket, and activated it without pulling it out.
It didn't immediately explode of course, after all, I set a timer on it. Just 3 minutes though.
I have terrorized Riley enough. I was thinking about how Riley would be able to do this when in the middle of the street. A Peach haired individual confronted me.
The tips of his lips formed a distorted smile as he laid his eyes on me, then, later on, started smiling.
"Hello, My name is Jin, heard of me"
I couldn't help but smile at myself. Jin is one of Riley's loyal subordinates.
"How did you know it was me?"
I was wearing a skin facemask, unless you take it off or bump my face you wouldn't know who's under it.
"Their eyes, they have a cross in it"
I see, although I have a perk that blurs the cross on my eyes it is still visible if you look hard enough, and he just based my identity on that.
Tsk.
But it doesn't matter, fighting on the streets of Bluelights has consequences. And as if reading my thought his body blurred and appeared before me.
"it only works on the street, the rule that is"
Explosions happen behind me, activating 'On Sight' and then parrying Jin's arm away that was trying to grab me the battle between us already ensued.
But instead of fighting me on the street he dragged me on a manhole cover and went underground of Bluelights.
An underground city with its sewer system.
I kicked Jin's face and he let go, and we were on an elevated platform, a 1.5-meter wide platform.
After landing I took my pistol out of my Arsenal and shot at Jin.
–Bang! Bang!
He somersaulted backwards and landed on his two feet. And looked at me with a smile, I just aimed at him.
"Your brother is in that building you know~?"
I tilted my head.
"But not the documents and ledgers though, you know?"
The moment he realised what I meant is when his face contorted, he looked like a demon.
But I couldn't care less.
"What now, dog?"
I said mockingly.
