< Episode 102 >
Any action requires considerable time and effort and careful consideration, but once a decision has been made, action must be swift.
And John is a man who puts those principles into practice.
The night was still long and Hindel Bionic’s factories were scattered all over Luna.
Kwagwagwang!
Another factory collapsed with explosions and flames that seemed like the world would collapse.
Kreurreureung.
An armed taxi speeding along with the sound of a rough engine diligently carried such a John.
“Aagh!”
“Turn it off.”
Numerous lives were cut off with the sound of screams, and among them were some unmanned soldiers who reached their peak, but none could withstand John’s bullets.
John’s bullets and wand were merciless, and by the time the sun came up, John was able to burn all four factories down.
“I have arrived.”
“yes. You suffered.”
blank.
John’s appearance as he got out of the armed taxi with a tired face was like that of a salaryman who worked overtime until the morning.
As the sun began to rise, people on the street nodded as they saw John like that, and it seemed that John’s image melted into Luna’s street.
“It helped me a lot. I’ll give you one business card.”
“… what else are you going to do?”
The pale knight’s face contorted.
He wasn’t as tired as the driver of an armed taxi that runs at night, but for him, who had been through all sorts of things, last night was an experience that was hard to imagine.
The binge and the flames, the screams and the despair.
That ordinary-looking man remained on the trail, and nothing else existed.
A knight with quite a bit of experience picked up all kinds of customers, and among them there were enough customers that just thinking about it made me shudder.
There were those who radiated heart-wrenching force just by sitting there, there were murderers covered in blood and grinning, and there were also those who casually committed massacres.
but.
There was no one scarier than John.
When a man like the incarnation of destruction asked for a business card, his shoulders shrank.
“What is it?”
John, who looked very tired, smiled.
“Because the work isn’t over yet. I think I will have to move diligently tonight too.”
For a moment, I was stunned by John’s so calm words.
“Here you are. Please contact me.”
John snatched the business card slipped through the window and turned around.
Anyway, blood and violence happen as usual in Luna.
His refusal doesn’t seem to stop John from acting, and if so, it’s the right thing to focus on making money.
It was scary just to be together, to the point of making my heart flutter.
“Thank you. Then see you in the evening.”
The driver, who was yawning lightly and staring at John’s back as he disappeared through the crowd, grabbed the steering wheel and murmured.
“…It’s called Hindel Bionic. I should even go short selling.”
I don’t think it would be easy for a mid-sized company, but I didn’t think that the man’s work would be blocked.
Other people’s misfortune can be your own luck.
Kururureureung.
The sound of the knight’s whistle rang along with the rough sound of the engine.

“···what?”
Rupert Hindel, who had a viciously distorted face, radiated a violent aura from his body, and objects around him began to stir, and that was not something that a person who had just started using his abilities could endure.
His face turned white from the violent energy that seemed to squeeze his heart out at any moment, and his whole body trembled with cold sweat, but the man managed to regain his composure and opened his mouth.
“…four factories were burned down. There are no survivors.”
Uzijik.
The handle of the chair, which looked antique and sturdy, turned to powder with a terrible sound, and now the man’s body looked as if it would collapse into place at any moment.
Tears welled up in the man’s eyes, and his face was on the verge of crying, but he somehow managed to energize his legs and stand up desperately.
If I collapsed, I felt like my life would fly away.
“···get out.”
“Yes?”
“Get out!”
“Yes. ancient!”
Hindel no longer caught the sight of the man who hurriedly turned around and ran away.
anger.
Hindel’s whole body was engulfed in anger that seemed like it would burn the whole world, and the aura affected by his emotions swayed in all directions and pulverized everything around him.
how much time had passed
“…Huh.”
A sound like a growl of an animal flowed from Hindel’s mouth, and Hindel, who had barely managed to control himself, buried himself in the chair.
profit.
Hindel, who was lying on a chair screaming that it was about to break at any moment, launched a hologram.
The man who reported to him was weak, but his work ability was excellent, and he had summarized the events of the previous night at a glance.
“···Damn it.”
The first thing you see is a ruined factory site.
Seeing the collapsed factory on fire as if it had been bombed, deepened again.
And there are as many as four such places.
Even for Hindel Bionic, which has reached a mid-sized company, it is not a blow that can be ignored.
It is a problem that property is blown away, but the more important problem is people.
Skilled employees and talented people who guarded the factory could not be saved with money, and although insurance money would come in, it was dizzying to think of the amount to be compensated for the officials of the skilled workers.
beep! beep! beep! beep! beep!
A chart appeared on a large monitor with an ominous beep.
“···Damn it!”
The stock price of Hindel Bionic was falling endlessly, and there was no such thing as a kind system like a circuit breaker in Luna’s stock market, where there was no blood or tears.
Anger filled his heart, but the crisis that he might go bankrupt made him seek reason.
“The state conducts defense! Pour it!”
– Yes! boss!
A terrified voice echoed over the communication device, and Hindel gnashed his teeth as he watched the chart begin to fluctuate.
“Let’s see. It won’t end like this.”
If you’ve been fighting a war, you have to fight back.
Hindel tapped the communication device roughly.
***
Four factories were destroyed and countless lives were lost.
If it were Earth, it would have been an event that would turn the entire country upside down, and all public powers would be mobilized to rectify the situation.
Depending on the situation, it is not strange even if state martial law takes place.
However, this was Luna, and the citizens who confirmed the inside story of the incident announced after the morning went back to their daily lives with interesting expressions.
Conflict between business and business.
It’s not common, but it can happen, and it’s unavoidable that human casualties occur in the meantime.
It was enough to just avoid related companies and places related to them and observe the trend.
The stock market started to stir up, and gamblers began betting.
The fixers who were resting because there was no request brightened their eyes, and the underworld organizations quietly raised their bodies to take a step.
A festival like a sport.
The citizens of Luna are people who can turn the misfortune of others into their own happiness, and they observed the development of the situation with strong expectations, and quick-witted informants released data on the people involved in this incident for a fee.
“Help John.”
“You mean confession? He is a fearsome man.”
“I understand. I don’t know about person-to-person combat, but if the situation is a battlefield, there’s no one more terrifying than Lee.”
“Are you certain about the source of the information?”
“…he said he bought it at a high price from the armed taxi driver who accompanied John Doe last night. Then you will be sure.”
“What is Organ Maker’s strength? I heard that the Borkov mafia is involved?”
“Still, it’s Hindel Bionic. It must have potential.”
Corporations and corporations collided head-on.

Mid-sized companies that have kept their place in the industry and new companies that are terrifyingly coming up.
The victors will claim vast spoils, and no matter how they take the crumbs that fall from the losers, they will become riches unimaginable to the common man.
If it’s a fight between large companies, you’ll have to lie down and pray for the typhoon to pass, but isn’t that enough?
Everyone in Luna began to observe the situation with their eyes shining and greed in their hearts.

After replacing broken furniture with new ones and tidying up the room, Hindel sat down in a chair dressed neatly.
It is safe to assume that he is a completely different person than when he received the report in the morning.
Hindel, who had the appearance of a business man with natural charisma, opened up a huge screen, and several shadows appeared in the divided screen.
– Rupert.
“Long time no see. President.”
Hindel lowered his head towards the old man who appeared on the screen.
It is Luna’s companies that do not hesitate to terrorize rival companies, but sometimes mediation is necessary, and sometimes a council is needed to protect common interests.
That’s how the company council was created.
It is an interest group of corporations that keep the city council and defense forces in check, and their head is an old man on the screen called the President.
Although companies were not forcibly suppressed, companies did at least pretend to listen to the president’s story, and when disputes between companies arose like now, they came forward and played a role in mediating.
No company ignores the president.
It was difficult to ignore the words of a youkai who had been there for decades and was sure to be there in the future.
– Long time no see. President.
“…Lennon May.”
One corner of the screen lit up and a brightly smiling Lennon came to mind, and Hindel’s expression naturally crumpled.
If I were in front of my eyes, I would want to run right away and mess up that smiling face.
– With a little respect, Lennon. It’s not something to laugh about.
Despite the President’s relaxed words, Lennon’s expression did not change.
– Of course I do. But you can’t help but smile at the spinning shape, can’t you?
“what!”
Hearing Lennon’s words, Hindel rose from his seat and glared at Lennon on the screen as if he were going to kill him, but Lennon made a plain expression.
– Why are you angry? The first one to attack was Hindel Bionic. Are we really victims?
– Hmm.
Lennon continued, glaring coldly at Hindel’s flushed face.
– Let’s assume that’s the case with spies. It’s like a convention between companies. But tampering with our test subjects crossed the line!
The innocent face was contorted like a bloody slaughter.
– It’s already been talked about, isn’t it! Data was provided in exchange for the safety of the test subjects. Everyone agreed, but why are you fucking here now!
Even Hindel glared at Lennon without losing to the bloody momentum transmitted across the screen, but Lennon did not hold back.
– Do you want me to stay still? Isn’t that funny! We are a company too! You got hit once, can you put up with it?
– Uhm.
With Lennon’s momentum, President corrected his posture and sat down.
“···yes. Are you saying you want to go to war?”
Lennon laughed coldly at Hindel’s growl.
– Let’s talk straight. That’s what started first.
Lennon’s eyes glowed dangerously as he glared at Hindel.
– No matter how fruitless your research is, you shouldn’t recklessly covet other people’s things.
“···What?”
Hindel’s body stiffened at Lennon’s penetrating words and expression, and an interesting expression appeared on the president’s face.
