章 5: Assassin time
"Today marks the beginning of Nemesis"
-------------------------------------------
"What is Nemesis, sir," Tracy asked me with a puzzled look.
"It will be an organisation headed by me, of course." I was very influenced by those fanfics in which the Mc's make their own group, forces and associations. So I decided to make one myself, because why not?
"Will I be a part of this future endeavour, sir?"
"Sure, I guess. Now find me those contracts, will you?"
-------------------------------------------
I was standing in front of a four-storey high building. What was I doing here? Well, the first task we got was to damage a certain guy's drug business. Their rival contacted us, he wanted lesser competition, more power and shit, and I being the free person I currently was decided that it was time for drug dealer 1 to officially retire.
I was walking towards the gate when I was stopped by two guards. I didn't really want to listen to their banter so I just dashed and took their heads as compensation. I climbed the building killing people left and right. There was a lot of coke there, like a lot. But I didn't do drugs, and neither was I ever going to. And I was not going to promote that shit. So I just torched the whole damn area. On the last floor was the boss. And the fight was not a boss fight, it was pathetic if I must say. The guy kept begging me to let him go, and I as a good, helpful and honourable guy took the weight off his shoulders, 'wink' 'wink'.
After the deed was done, I called Tracy and we took all the guns from the place and went to the meeting point, where we had to meet the client.
-------------------------------------
We entered a warehouse which was located in a very shady place, I must say and I was not liking the direction in which this transaction was going to go but whatever. Entering the warehouse we saw drugs being processed. This was not cool, the guy called us to his fucking warehouse for the deal.
We then saw the guy, drug dealer 2 who was sitting drinking tea surrounded by a dozen armed men.
"I think you should go back Trace," I said to Tracy.
"But master I could help, I know a little bit of shooting."
"You will just end up becoming a hostage Trace," Seeing the sad look on Tracy's face I said, "Ugh, fine but you stay behind me. Understand?"
"Yes sir." She answered.
"Good evening, may I ask where the money is??" I asked the guy sitting on the chair.
"Bow to the boss, you fucking shit." A henchman shouted at me.
"Now now we don't want to scare away our guests, do we?" druggy 2 stated, "The proof?" continuing he asked me.
I nodded to Tracy and she threw the bag towards druggy.
One of the henchmen opened the bag and showed its contents to druggy.
"Very well, I really didn't think that you would be able to kill him, you know. By the way now that you did kill him, where are the drugs?" he questioned.
"I burned them, no one mentioned drugs in the deal so ..."
"Well, I don't care, I want the drugs otherwise no money for you."
"What the hell dude, you wanted damage, we fucking killed the guy now give us our money."
"Or what, this is my territory. Here I decide what happens, understand, newbie assassin. You really should've checked before coming here, you know. Now, why don't you get lost? I will not ask twice." druggy stood up and said.
"The money, I also won't ask twice."
"Shoot him."
"Tracy take cover." Saying that I jumped into action.
"Aaaah help me...."
"Please, I have kids."
"Lea....."
In max two minutes, everyone ended up dead except for the druggy.
"Well, now what, will we be getting the money?" I questioned Druggy, while Tracy cleaned the blood in my hands.
----------------------------------------
<Druggy: POV>
'A monster, this guy is a fucking monster.' I thought as I was running away from the warehouse. I had already given him the money and I even had to pay him two million extra, why? Because that was the price of a fucking headstart.
<Flashback>
"Well, now what, will we be getting the money."
"Yup, take whatever you want, the guns, the drugs, everything, just let me live, please." I started pleading, this guy fucking killed every one of my men with his claws. No bullet hit him, not even a single graze or a cut, nothing.
"That is what I like to hear Tracy, pack everything up. Now I am a good guy, I came here to take my rightful money which you owed me, but you started firing at me, not cool. Next, why should I let you live? There is no reason, is there? You know what, because and only because I am a forgiving person I can let you live. But that depends, on whether you can buy back your life from me or not. I want ten million dollars right now, if you can provide me with that, well and good. If not, I kill you." the assassin said.
"But I don't have ten million right now. I can at max give you two million right now."
"And that is my fault, how?"
"Please I will do anything, just let me go. My company, it's yours. Anything you ask I will give please let me go." I pled.
"I asked for ten million, but you don't have that. You know what, I am an amazing person so for the two million, I will give you a one-minute headstart, run as fast as you can, you want to drive, do that. You can even fly a plane. But after that one minute, I will start chasing you, how about it." he exclaimed.
"So benevolent master is. Bow and say thank you, scum." the girl exclaimed.
"Your time starts now, chop-chop."
<Flashback ends.>
-----------------------------------------
<Alex: POV>
"Sir one minute is up, shall we start chasing," Tracy exclaimed with glittery eyes.
"Sure. Let's go." I took Tracy in a princess carry and started running in the direction druggy had gone in. Actually, I could see him with my <Eagle eyes> so it was very easy. In less than a minute I caught up with him and before he could start begging again I chopped his head off.
------------------------------------------
<Back in the hotel>
"Well, we earned 5 million from this whole thing. I say that is a job well done." I said to Tracy. How? Well, we looted Druggy 1, we took Druggy 2's money. The job was worth a mil, and the accessories we looted also sold for a mil.
"It sure is master, we should celebrate."
"Order pizzas."
"Sure master, in the meantime would you like to eat something else." Tracy winked, and I gulped.
-----------------------------------------
After some se.... (cough, cough) relaxing moments, we had pizza and went to sleep.
-----------------------------------------
We did a lot of jobs after the drug thing, we bought a bungalow and even a warehouse where Tracy put up her hacking instruments. I even bought some exotic animals and got <Mimic[Beg]> from a Lyrebird. I could basically speak in any voice now. I got <Night vision[Ama]> from some owls. I even got my wings back after I bought an Axolotl and got <Superior regeneration[Beg]>. Damn that ability was useful. The healing time had reduced to approximately nothing, I was like Vin Diesel from Bloodshot but without the nanobots so the boom and back thingy couldn't happen. I also improved my wings and they became [Adv]. I also got <Speed of a Sail[Beg]> from a Sailfish and <Cheetah's fury[Ama]> from a Cheetah. Now I was extremely fast both under and over water. I also tested my resistance to bullets and found out that most guns would not harm me but some did like a sniper could hurt me, a headshot might kill me, I didn't try so don't know. So I found some iron beetles and got <Superior armour[Ama]>. Maybe a Bazooka would harm me now, who knows?
I also found out that some of my abilities were a dampened version of the original ones like I couldn't lift 1000x my weight. 100x I could but not more, so I asked the system and it was because of body size ratio. Apparently, the beetle being small is also an advantage. I also got <A Flea's jump[Exp]>. The flea can jump approx 500x its body size.
------------------------------------------
We had a 100% record in our missions so many people had started coming to us rather than going to other assassins. We had also been attacked thrice due to this and I had to kill my fair share of assassins. Luckily the hand hadn't attacked us. I could fight them but I didn't want to.
Eventually, we stopped taking missions because after all, it was just a means to an end. I needed money to start Nemesis and assassinations could make me a quick buck, and I could learn some fighting, etc too.
But we had to say yes when the reward was 20 million dollars. I mean, I can't refuse that. That's a lot. I could buy a lot of animals with that money, like a lot. And I also needed money to buy a zoo and make a habitat for animals. You see I was grateful for the abilities I had, and so I decided to make a natural habitat for all those animals from whom I took DNA and their families.
Well, the last mission was to protect a mafia boss and finish other mafias. You see there was a tournament type of thing all the mafias of New York and some others, I don't know, did this after some years for different territories. So my mission was to protect one and destroy others. Simple, right but the thing was that other mafias had also hired assassins like us. And this was a huge event so there were a lot of enemies. Our client had also hired some more people, but I was the only 'mutant' in them. So I as the strongest person had the main say, so I just became the main bodyguard. I didn't even care if this guy died, I had already taken my money but there is something called cred score. And mine was at 100, and I was not going to harm my reputation for this nonsense tournament.
-----------------------------------------
"So for how many days is this thing going to last," I asked Mr Sergio, our client.
"Well, it normally ends in around a month max. And mostly the others don't attack the head of the mafias, because it generates wars, something that we don't want and that's the main reason we hire mercs and assassins," he told me.
"You know I really think that you should not tell me that," I commented.
"I am pretty sure you wouldn't care, you are strong, like hella strong and I don't think that even a bazooka could kill you so why worry? The thing is that this time there are rumours, that mutants have been hired, hence I contacted you. I should not be attacked in normal scenarios but who knows, and it's always better to be safe you know." he said.
"Well, that's true, I guess. So anything I need to worry about, any info I should know of." I inquired.
"My spies have started digging, anything we hear and you will be the first person I would tell."
"That's good."
The first few days were peaceful, I don't know about the outside but the mansion in which I had been spending time was very quiet. So I was happy. We had also started damaging some mafia groups, but the spies hadn't come back so that was a bad thing, I guess.
----------------------------------
<The 5th day>
I was busy yawning around on the top roof watching around for disturbances when suddenly one of the garages went boom. I went towards Mr Sergio's room in a hurry.
I was about to enter the room when a playing card came buzzing towards me, I ducked and turned around and what greeted me was something that really shocked me. Why? Firstly, this came up.
-------------------------------------
<Congratulations, a hidden mission has been completed.>
Meet your first named character.
Rewards: <Fusion>
Fusion: This skill can combine different abilities to make a more powerful one.
-------------------------------------
Secondly, I was greeted by a guy with a bullseye scar on his forehead.
"Hmmm, you ducked. I missed. Not cool. This time, don't duck and this might remain painless otherwise, I will have to use other means." the scarred guy commented.
"So you are Bullseye," I questioned him.
"My brilliance precedes me and I guarantee you a painless death," he smirked.
"Huh, well I don't."
He threw a lot of cards at me, and I dodged each and every one of them. Then he took out daggers and threw them at me. I dodged all but one.
"Oh shit!" Bullseye lost his smirk when he saw that the dagger fell on the floor after it hit me, crumpled.
"Hehe, this is going to be fun."
