chapter 27
[The sparrow in the lighthouse sees. The cuckoo is coming into the nest. The cuckoo is coming into the nest.]
“Confirm.”
A report comes in from an in-ear that is plugged in.
The current time seen through the smart lens is 12:30.
It was a time that could be called a perfect morning.
The area they decided to enter is the second pier of Incheon Port.
Hiding behind a nearby container, I held my breath and waited for the ships they were on to enter.
While only the sound of waves can be heard intermittently, a very small sound begins to intervene.
A ship quietly enters the pier without turning on the lights and even the engine noise as much as possible for smuggling.
Eventually, the engine noise completely subsided.
The dock descends from the ship, and dozens of people can be seen walking over the dock to enter the port.
As if tired from a long voyage, only the sounds of conversations and laughter are heard.
“Buona sera amico. (Good evening, friends.)”
“What a crazy–.”
As soon as he gives them a light greeting and pulls the trigger on the Chicago typewriter, the black imprints of the guys in the fog start to dance.
The operation was carried out after realizing that the time when the people on the ship were most relaxed and the most defenseless was just before they stepped on the ground.
Thanks to that, the guys who were very kindly gathered on the dock realized the situation and started throwing themselves into the sea one by one.
“If you go into the water, the formation will collapse! Unfold the barriers!”
An urgent voice could be heard from among them, but it could not be controlled so easily.
The reason is none other than [Chicago Typewriter], one of the side effects of [Tommy of Al Capone].
[2. Chicago Typewriter: This weapon fires bullets at a horrendous rate when firing them. Applies the ‘Fear’ status effect to the opponent who hears the sound.]
It’s not like any other item, but the effect of the [Artifact] grade item makes it so easy to take control of the guys who have fallen into a panic.
When I was shooting at them from above with ease.
“Come up now!”
Fortunately, a voice filled with magical power could be heard from a place blocked by a shield.
The owner of that voice is probably the leader of this group.
He opened the shield and poured a blast of bullets at the guy who rescued the drowning guys one by one, but his shield still looked solid.
“Is this the limit with my current ability?”
After all, a gun is a weapon for sweeping away scumbags without having to use fists.
After hooking the smoke rising from the barrel and blowing it once, I put it in the cube and pulled the [Midas’ Gloves] that I was wearing to make it tight.
“The crow says. Start hunting now. To maintain a siege to prevent prey from leaving the hunting grounds.”
[Sparrow. Has confirmed.]
[Eagle. Confirm]
[cormorant. Good reception.]
Hearing the replies of the members of the organization spread out in advance, I took a deep breath and looked at the enemies in front of me.
Those who are still alive or can move and form a formation behind the shield.
Little by little, it seemed that he was struggling to get out of the dock and rise above the harbor.
“A gun can’t pierce a shield anyway, so don’t be afraid and gather around!”
When was the last time you put the gun in? Are you worried about that? … .
After clenching a fist enough to make a crackling sound, I grabbed my right wrist with my left hand and fixed it, and I heard the voices of the guys from inside the shield.
“Hey, that guy. what are you doing?”
“Aren’t you coming this way?”
Gradually accelerate toward the front of the shield and pull the waist and body backwards.
“That’s it, aren’t you going to break the shield with your fists now?”
“For now, ignore him and go into the port! It’s up to you to deal with him!”
I put my gun down and decided that it wasn’t too dangerous, the guys keep advancing towards this place.
After loading the centrifugal force and weight towards those guys as much as possible, he slammed his fists as hard as he could at a punching machine and spit out a word.
“I am originally a fighter.”
The power given by Callione’s blood only shines when she uses her physical abilities.
As soon as the fist touched the surface of the shield, a sharp sound like breaking glass enveloped the surroundings and shattered.
“Hey, what is this, Geek–?!”
A guy who gets punched in the fist for the first crime and rolls like a plastic bag blown away by the wind.
At this, the other guys near him stare blankly at him as if they don’t understand the current situation.
After a while, looking at the figure who wriggled and let him know that he was still breathing, he turned his right hand, which still had the feeling of just being hit.
“You have now trespassed into Callione’s realm. If you follow me, I’ll save your life. Will you surrender?”
As a final warning, I propose to these guys.
If you accept this offer, you can at least return to your home country with your life on the line.
Of course, the process would not be smooth, but it was a much better option than meaninglessly tortured or killed.
“Before that, I want to ask you something.”
A guy who looks like an executive steps forward and stands in front of me. A blunt-looking, ordinary Asian man.
“I wish it wasn’t a useless question.”
“… … Apparently he knew we were coming, why are you alone?”
The boy said that and looked around.
The members of the gang were completely hidden, waiting for my orders. It would not have been easy to find unless the detection system ability was activated.
So, let’s hang out here for a second, shall we?
“It’s my father’s order. I just wanted to show you how active you are.”
“… … father?”
“Oh, didn’t you know?”
To understand their true intentions, I smiled and stretched out my hand toward them to reveal the ring on my index finger.
Alphabet ‘C’ engraved in gold on black diamonds.
“Because I am Callione’s heir.”
Hearing my words, the guys start to roar.
It seems that he was very embarrassed by the sudden appearance of Callione’s successor.
The executives who had finished talking for a short time while looking at each other suddenly looked at me and smiled.
“… … Then things will be easier.”
“Well?”
“If you catch your heir who is your successor, even Callione won’t be able to move around. What an arrogant little boy.”
I guess I really thought I was alone.
As soon as you think that the other person is weak, your attitude changes immediately.
After all, mercy might have been a luxury for them.
“I will hold you and send the finger with the ring on to your father.”
As the executive pulled the machete from his waist, the other guys also grabbed hatchets and knives one by one.
Still, the faces of the guys looked very serious, perhaps because of seeing the shields flying before.
“Good luck.”
“… … What do you mean?”
“You guys are just as scum as you thought.”
Red energy begins to flow through the body.
[[Blood system ability: Callione] is activated.]
[Talent [Enforcer] is activated.]
Abilities that have been active since the time they fired bullets at them.
As soon as I release the energy that I have suppressed so far, the red energy that rises from my body colors the surrounding fog and creates an ugly atmosphere.
“If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be better not to think about running away.”
They looked at each other with a light mist between them and looked at the gaps.
First of all, these guys do not easily show a gap whether they are members of the gang who have been dispatched from that group.
In the silence as if time had stopped, the sound of a ship’s pounding echoed in the distance.
“Attack it!”
“Kill!”
They start running towards me.
Guys who wield weapons as they rush towards me while holding horribly heinous weapons.
Perhaps it is because of the experience of fighting in groups with guys with weapons at the academy today, naturally, the paths of the guys and the actions I should take started to be drawn.
The first thing to do is to put magical power into your feet and roll the ground, creating a big wave around you, disturbing the formation of my guys.
If it was a situation where all sides were surrounded, the guys who rushed towards one place after such a group had no choice but to limit their movement once they got twisted.
“Do not disturb!”
“You stupid bastard! Get away!”
“I will help you.”
As he hurled his fist towards the guy’s head with all his might, the guy’s body spun around in the air with a crackling sound and crashed to the ground.
He pushes the hardened guy at the unrealistic sight, and puts the twisted ones back on the dock.
“What are you doing with one person! Catch him now!”
The reason I was able to move so boldly was simple.
Because they had to ‘capture’ me instead of killing me in the end.
Therefore, their movements were limited and there was no choice but to be careful.
And, aiming for that point, I draw them into the battlefield that is advantageous to me as much as possible.
“Don’t gather around and surround them!”
“If you go further from here, you will fall into the sea, so how can you surround yourself!”
Docks are crowded in a limited space, and they stare at me with eyes that seem to kill me.
It was then that he realized that I was deliberately pushing them into a narrow space.
“… … I will be wasting time, so you should disperse and wait for a call.”
After going through them, an executive comes up to me with a knife.
“Don’t make me regret coming alone.”
At the same time, he started running towards me and wielding a machete.
It is a very clean and uncluttered movement, unlike the previous idioms.
After being pushed back slowly by the continuous attack, the other guys come down from the dock and start running towards another place.
“Thank you, Captain! See you alive————.”
Swoop, and the guy’s body collapses. And belatedly, gunshots resound in the harbor.
“I am a sniper!”
As a result, the guys who were about to run to another place quickly bowed down and attached themselves to the luggage and containers piled up nearby.
“… … your boy.”
An executive who fell away from me for a moment at the sudden gunshot looked at me with teary eyes and said:
“… … You weren’t alone!”
Did they ever think they were deceived?
I shrug my shoulders at the guy who is even more angry than I was just now.
“I would have told you. Callione’s successor. Even though he looks like this, he is a person who is treated with respect. And above all… … .”
I glanced at the guy who was shot and fell to the ground.
Bright red blood dripping down the ground little by little under the body.
Seeing that, I sighed and said.
“I would have advised you. It would be better not to think about running away.”
Why don’t these guys know that I said it for them, not me?
