Episode 137. Execution Power (2)

-A serious corruption scandal recently occurred at the charity foundation established by Hansan.

E, sitting in the backseat of a taxi, was watching the news in a comfortable position.

– It was revealed that Chairman B used public funds to purchase a luxury mansion and sports car, which raised doubts about the foundation’s transparency and fund management.

“That’s how all high-ranking people are, you know.”

-Some are raising the opinion that Hansan Group, which played a major role in forming the foundation’s funds, is responsible.

Hansan barely managed to maintain his position, but it was not strong enough to silence all reporters.

-There are also stories that the entire foundation is being used to create slush funds and reduce taxes.

“Hey, I’ve arrived!”

Claire stopped a taxi. E smiled with satisfaction, then took out a few bills and paid the fare.

“……Miss. Do you have some time?”

At E’s words, Claire opened her mouth, trembling.

“I have to keep working…….”

I barely escaped from those men, but was this guy someone I shouldn’t trust?

Claire’s eyes shook like an aspen tree.

“No, we came to a remote place, right?”

E carefully consoled her as if it was nothing.

“Right……”

Stella City was large. The place where Claire arrived was not very developed.

“It won’t take long. I just want to finish it up and go back, but I don’t think it’ll be easy to catch a taxi here.”

Although there were many factories surrounding the area, there were no convenience facilities or stations.

“That’s right…….”

“I’ll pay you plenty of money, so just wander around the area for a bit. I’ll even pay for your return trip.”

Claire paused for a moment, thinking carefully about his offer.

Thinking rationally, it would have been a wise choice to run away without looking back.

But that was too cruel. The man had just saved her life, and he didn’t want anything in return.

If I could repay the favor by hanging around for ‘a few dozen minutes’ at best and then picking him up again, then it was the right thing to do.

“I think I can pay about this much. It’s based on thirty minutes, and if it takes longer, I’ll charge extra. What do you think?”

“I can’t accept this much money!”

“Time is more important to me than money. I can give you this much.”

Moreover, the pressure of the royalties did not go away.

I couldn’t find any customers around here who would take a taxi. Even if I tried to find a new customer, I would have to drive for at least thirty minutes.

I don’t know where he is headed, but judging by the way he speaks, it seems like he is heading towards the city.

If so, there was no reason not to accept his offer.

“Okay, I understand! I’ll wait!”

After saying that, E took a duffel bag full of weapons out of the car.

The man left. Claire, left alone in the empty taxi, was finally able to exhale without worrying about anyone else’s reaction.

-Have you reached your destination? Remember, the goal is escort, not massacre.

“Don’t worry. I have no intention of dragging it out.”

E took out his gun and walked down a street where numerous factories were scattered along the street.

People passing by looked at him strangely, but no one bothered to pick a fight with him.

“Roughly speaking… you just have to shoot and kill all the guys that came out of ‘Elessharmony’.”

-You don’t understand at all. The target of the request is an internal whistleblower from ‘Elessharmony’, and you have to deal with the private soldiers who are chasing him.

E snorted. Compared to his abilities, this task was too simple and easy.

Even if there are twenty clients who ‘should not be killed’ instead of one, and even if it is not the company’s security but the Stella City military chasing them, they will be able to deal with the enemies without a problem.

“That’s it.”

Fumiko took a deep breath.

Normally, I would never have dealt with such a self-willed mercenary.

However, the price of a mercenary was skyrocketing. It was unknown how good his skills were, but if you looked at the implants he had, you could guess his level of skill.

In a situation where even a ‘civilian with a gun’ should be treated with respect, it was absurd to leave that rookie mercenary alone.

-Be careful. If the client dies, you lose your reward.

“What if the client is really rude? Should I please them then?”

-Of course. You seem to have some kind of delusion that you’re holding a gun in your hand, but we’re in the service industry. It’s natural to cater to the client’s wishes.

“I’m a little anxious. I guess I lack patience.”

-If they make really ridiculous demands or push things on you that aren’t in the contract, just cancel the order. Otherwise, try to please them as much as possible.

“Well… well, I’ll try.”

-ha…….

Fumiko’s sigh deepened. If there was any consolation, it was that the person who contracted this mercenary was an individual and not a corporation.

If an accident had occurred because an unverified mercenary had been connected to a request related to a company, the responsibility would have been entirely placed on Fumiko.

-You’re getting closer to the client. Can you see anything?

“Just wait a minute.”

He jumped over the wall. Once he was reasonably high up, he was able to find a single blemish on this peaceful factory.

“Ah, I found it. I can see it over there.”

E’s visual sensor illuminated a distant client.

It was a chase. Security guards armed with batons and pistols were running towards a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man.

-What are you doing? Then stop it!

“Oh, I said I’ll do it my way.”

He leisurely unpacked his duffel bag and laid out numerous firearms on the ground, regardless of whether a chase was taking place ahead or not.

“Let’s try this today.”

Close combat was thoroughly enjoyed on the day of the terror attack.

At least that was it, it was a battle where you could have really died.

If he hadn’t been able to dodge the bombs and energy weapons that were pouring down on him, if he hadn’t taken care of the snipers in advance, if he had been just a little bit late and found himself surrounded by the real power of Stella City.

No matter what, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid death or injury.

There was tension there. There was a sense of urgency that he had to deal with the enemy in front of him as quickly as possible, a reason to grit his teeth and dodge bullets.

Compared to that, the security guard in front of you is a boring and endless enemy.

The level of armament is obvious. There is no reason to dodge bullets.

Their brute force is predictable. Even if they had swung that three-sectioned staff right in front of him, it wouldn’t have caused him even the slightest scratch.

“This would be good.”

He pulled out a long sniper rifle. No matter how boring the enemy was, he could find some fun with this large-caliber sniper rifle.

Unlike assault rifles that can kill countless people by simply firing without even needing to aim, this gun can provide the pleasure of aiming, shooting, and killing in a clear and leisurely manner.

“You shouldn’t hit the person running in front…… Okay, okay.”

After catching his breath, he calmly shot the guard.

“Sniper! Everybody get down!”

“No, no! Chase me! If I let go now, I won’t be able to catch that bastard!”

E looked at the confused guards with a chuckle.

“How stupid.”

Jumping into the middle of a battle and killing people had its own charm, but watching people terrified from a safe position also had a nice flavor.

A gunshot rings out. A man falls.

Numerous aiming aids flashed before his eyes, but he was always the one making the final decision.

“Su, hide! This is a failure! I’ll never catch you!”

“Stop being so crazy! How can this…….”

“Where are you shooting from?”

Hit, hit, hit. And hit again.

Blood spurts, heads explode, and evil falls.

The distance, the wind, the movement of people. In all these circumstances, he always won.

The situation was over. All the guards were down, blood staining the ground.

E, who had jumped over the building and approached the person being chased, reached out his hand as if nothing had happened.

“Oh, there’s still some left-.”

“Didn’t you call me? I came to help you. Elecharmoni. Right?”

The expression on the middle-aged man’s face softened as he realized that he was not an enemy.

“Oh, that’s right. Thank you very much. Then, what about that gun from earlier?”

“Yeah, it’s me. Did I do a good job?”

“It was incredible! I couldn’t even tell where the hell it came from…….”

“It wasn’t that bad.”

It wasn’t as pleasant a compliment as he had thought. E gave a hollow laugh.

It was not pleasant to receive compliments from someone who knew nothing about fighting.

But it was definitely the polite thing to do. Although it was a little disappointing, E smiled slowly.

Until I heard the following words coming out of a middle-aged man’s mouth.

“Are you from Hansan?”

E’s expression became seriously distorted.

“Why is that name suddenly coming up here-.”

There was no time to think about it. A small helicopter was coming toward them, making a loud noise.

“Ah, ah. Do you hear? Give up resistance and surrender.”

The sound of a loudspeaker echoed through the streets. The middle-aged man felt the greatest fear he had ever felt in his life.

The blond man’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.
