Chương 36: Warehouse Massacre
— Night - Tessia Kingdom —
Four days had passed since Daniel had brought three new reinforcements to the Veneziale family. Since then, there is no territory they cannot take, no gang strong enough to put up a half-decent resistance, and no mage dares to mess with them. All the mages who dared to cause trouble on the Veneziale estate have returned in body bags.
Even the Syndicate Union can only give them a slight warning that the Veneziale should not eat more than they can chew and did nothing against them after that.
Nearly 80% of the underworld businesses in this city connected with the royal family had passed into the hands of the Veneziale family.
Under Daniel's supervision, Ardito closed down the human trafficking and drug business, knowing that Daniel hated it. Instead, he transformed these businesses into smuggling operations and hidden warehouses.
As for the police, they are in a position of great awkwardness as they want to help the royal family but they can't just straight up protect these illegal businesses as they need to keep their appearance.
Since there was zero casualty of innocent and no witness, Other than the sound of gunfire from time to time that came from the side of the royal family's illegal business. They can't go straight up to the Veneziale Estate and arrest them either. If they did, they knew that Don Ardito will play them and will make sure to drag all of the royal family business to light. They can't afford that.
Also, many of the police in the lower hierarchy didn't know about the royal family's cut in the illegal business. They can't just ambush the Veneziale gang while they are attacking the illegal business of the royal family either, because if they did appear on the scene during the fight, they need to arrest both of them.
And this is the era of smartphones and small gadgets. All of the smartphones can record their behavior and they don't know how many cameras are pointing toward them if they were to try catching the Veneziale family in the act.
The royal family also made it clear that they didn't want a second Murphy who was righteous and crazy enough to go after the royal family to appear among them. So… the police higher up had no choice but to fall into this state of great awkwardness and can only silently curse at Don Veneziale and his family.
Under the night sky where it was the time that the people of the Curtain World were most active. The great hunt began in one of the largest harbors in Sector Alpha city.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hundreds of gunshots resound under the cover of the large warehouse in the harbor area. More than ten people, arms to the teeth, were firing at a redhead muscular man in a biker gang attire.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I didn't even feel a thing! Was that your best!?" The redhead muscular man rushes at the group of men who are firing at him.
All of the bullets hit his body, but it could only create some small bruise at most, and it will disappear within a second.
"Kill him! Kill him!" The man who looks like the leader shouts at his people and fires his submachine gun at the redhead non-stop.
Pow! Crash!!
A straight punch to the gut sent the leader toward the warehouse's large shelf as his body crashed into a tower of cardboard boxes, causing the content within it to spill outside as the white powder-like substance flowed to the ground.
"Mr. James! Please make it quick sir! Mr.Magitek is coming to check on the warehouse!" One of Veneziale's men shouted at James from the entrance of the warehouse.
The guy was here only to point the target for James and communicate with James in case some emergency crops up such as when Daniel wants to come and check how things are himself.
"What!? Boss is coming!? Ok! Give me a few more minutes!" James shouted back.
The man respectfully nodded his head before going back to their position at the entrance along with the rest of the Veneziale men who only came to block all of the entrance to prevent anyone from running away.
"Man… Can't believe that one day we would be able to fight alongside the people like Mr.Magitek people. Can you imagine it!? The things in the myth and folklore are real! all that vampire and werewolf shit is real!" One of the Veneziale spoke with the man who just came back from reminding James.
The man nodded with a smile but then his face grew solemn.
"Yes, It is indeed an extraordinary experience for us, but don't forget. If you don't want to die, you must not speak about this to anyone outside of this team." The man instructed his friend and walked toward the car nearby.
The side of James got a new instruction to make it quick. He turned toward the rest of the people in pity. There is still a lot more prey for him to play with, but alas… he needs to quickly finish it.
"Sorry, but If you guys don't want to die. I need all of you to throw away your weapon, lie down, and don't resist. If you agree then do it. I'll call the guys outside to capture all of you." James offered.
Bang!
James' body got pushed backward as he felt a powerful force hit him right on his chest. He turned toward the direction he felt those forces and found that a leader he punched a moment ago came back with a shotgun in hand while other people were changing their magazines and didn't show any sign of fear.
These people who protect this port are from the royal guard force. They have been totally brainwashed by the royal family and really believe literally in the phrase, "The king can do no wrong." Even when these people see their king forcing himself on a woman, they think it is an honor for that woman to be able to attract their king.
And they also know about the Curtained World. Therefore, this degree of abnormality does not deter them at all. They thought that the redhead in front of them was a mage who specialized in enhancement magic and had enhanced his body to the extreme. That's why their weapons can not do much harm to the fierce redhead.
James looked down at his chest and saw that the buckshot from that shotgun could pierce through his skin and stick at his rib. He unconsciously let out a bloodthirsty smile as his face began to contort as his mouth started to extend like a mouth of a dog or wolf.
"That's right! This is it! This is what it feels like! The Pain!! Rrrraaaaagh!!" James roared to the sky.
The human roar began to turn into the roar of a beast midway, James' body getting bigger and bigger, his muscles expanding and so did the red flame-like fur that started to grow out of his skin. Sharp claw and James's hand until it was at the length of a small knife.
"Were… Werewolf!! fire! fire! Kill it before it transforms!" The leader of the royal guard corps shouted his order.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The hail of bullets started and the sound of gunfire rapidly resounded within the warehouse.
Only a few large caliber bullet bullets manage to pierce the monster's skin such as a 12 gauge slug from the leader shotgun but it can only cause a superficial wound at best.
The heavy fire of various guns and bullets of various sizes began to lose its effectiveness as James' body finished its transformation. The bullet that was pierced into James's muscle got pushed out of the skin and dropped to the ground.
And finally, James' long howl amidst the sound of rapid gunfire had transformed into the howl of a wolf.
The process of James's werewolf transformation took only a few seconds, it should be much shorter if James was not injured before he began to transform and not under the rain of bullets.
"Annoying!" James' beast-like voice roars as he lashes out a simple slap at the leader.
The leader of the royal guard was a novice mage, he immediately activated his basic shield spell. Even though this spell was just a basic shield spell, it could withstand the power of a large caliber rifle.
Even if he could not withstand this slap from the fierce werewolf in front of him, he was confident that he could survive this simple slap.
Splash!!
The upper body of the team leader exploded into minced meat, blood, and gore splattered all over the wall and a heavily injured nearby royal guard who was unfortunate enough to be standing nearby happened to be in the way of that minced meat.
Some of the gunfire stopped as the survivors were knowledgeable enough to discern that the shield didn't even do its job as it broke right away the moment that slap touched the shield and directly obliterated the upper body of their team leader.
This degree of destruction can only happen if the force behind that slap was equal to the force behind 1 kilogram of C4 that exploded point blank! And the control behind this slap was even more precise because at this distance it should have generated some sonic boom.
A few of the royal guards who realize this immediately throw away their weapons, lie down on the floor on their stomachs, and put both their hands on their heads.
"Coward!" One of the fanatical royal guards shouted at the one who surrendered and tried to move his gun to the surrenderer aiming to execute them but...
Splash!
The body of the fanatic royal guard explodes as another slap comes his way.
"I hate fanatic believers the most… Die!" James let out a beastly roar before lashing out at the remaining fanatic royal guard.
Thus, a swift massacre began, the sound of splashing meat and screams resounded instead of the sound of gunfire until it was silent.
