Episode 2 of the Overly Competent Villain

Highy Squad

“·······.”

Gustavo Forgore, the boss of the Forgore family, slumped and stared at the restaurant where the fighting was taking place.

Around the closed restaurant, there were a lot of gang members who looked like gangsters. There is no doubt that the bosses of the small gangs to oppose the triad circle are gathered there.

“The rats are having a meeting. It’s a good opportunity.”

Karl Hauser, who was dispatched from the province of Pasha, planned to thoroughly exterminate hostile organizations against the Triad Circle.

“Gustavo. You guys take responsibility and wipe them out.”

“Ha, but are you okay? They’re insignificant, but the number is quite large…”

Although small, when many come together, the number is comparable to a triad circle. If you fight head-on, this side will also take a lot of damage.

However, Hauser stared at her coldly and did not even meet her gaze.

“Bring out all the firearms and troops you can mobilize. It ends with a short cut-off. I will support one squad of Kachitori.”

「·······.」

Houser’s judgment was not wrong.

The current state of the triad circle is not good even to say empty words.

Not only did the bank where the slush fund was hidden disappear, but the flow of funds was blocked as each business was stagnant.

As the existence of the secret ledger was revealed and passed on to Jacques Pietro, the city government and the National Police Agency were uncooperative.

They’d turn a blind eye to gang riots, but they weren’t sure how long they would remain neutral.

This struggle must end quickly. As time goes by, the disadvantage is the Triad Circle side. The fire of the struggle must be extinguished as soon as possible in order to focus on Jacques Pietro.

“Isn’t it because of your incompetence in not finding Jacques Pietro in the first place?”

Karl Hauser, who landed with Kachitori, had the highest priority on the whereabouts of Jacques Pietro.

Coming under orders directly from the governor, they prioritized the search for him as much as the triad circle continued, leaving the search for Pietro to the larger circle.

‘Damn it, old Pietro. Where the hell are you?’

The problem is that that Jacques Pietro is nowhere to be seen.

Even if you try to chase it second to being protected by the National Security Agency, if you lose sight of it for a moment, it will disappear like a ghost.

It seemed impossible to find him unless he had deliberately revealed himself like before.

“Boss! They’re hiding inside the restaurant! Shall we push on like this?”

“Uh. If we catch those hiding inside the building, the damage will be great. Here…”

Gustavo glanced at the men in uniform behind me.

Twelve kachitori from the former Imperial Special Forces brought by Karl Hauser. The squad leader and sub-commander were sword expert knights.

If they come out, I think we can pass the already reduced subordinates without any damage…

“Hey… if you guys come out…”

“Can’t you solve this much alone?”

‘Damn the military bastards…’

If only Jurgen was alive, these guys wouldn’t have felt sorry for them.

However, the triad circle was too heavy when the damage was accumulated beyond this. There are over 50 gang members in there right now, when are you going to kill them with a gun?

Gustavo had reigned in Lombardy for a long time and was saturated with peace, but he understood from experience that the damage would be great if he recklessly penetrated an occupied building.

Swordsmen are the ones who can play an active part in a place like this. They are human tactical weapons capable of one-sided activity in indoor battles and wonderful senses that are incomparable to ordinary people.

-Kwaaang!!

It was then. A huge roar engulfing the city of gunfire. It was such that even the technical gunner, who was pouring machine guns at the restaurant, stopped shooting. And–

– Kwa-kwak!

The moment it pierced the vehicle where the machine gun was mounted, the two ‘shells’ that crushed the shooter activated the fuse and detonated the internal charge.

– Kwaaang!

Technical flipped over with an explosion. The fuel tank caught fire and exploded.

“What, what!”

“What did you shoot!”

When the machine gun turret, which gave them the advantage in firepower, was blown away, the members of the Triad Circle were embarrassed. And he becomes passive at the thought that he does not know when the armed man who blew away the technical will aim at him.

“Shock gun for the Great Golem.”

“It sounded twice at once. Twin-barreled barrels… It’s the Molt company’s Hector twin-barreled shock gun. How did you get it?”

The Khachitori noticed the main character of this huge gunfire.

“Well done for such a grandiose thing. Stupid gangsters.”

The squad leader Kachitori gave the order to the sub-commander.

“Take care of the sniper. I don’t think you’ll get hit, but be careful.”

The sub-captain is a knight and is a regular knight wearing an imperial protective coat. Even the semi-knight-level kachitori below wore bulletproof coats, even if they weren’t regular knight-level.

“It’s not a weapon that can be blocked with a bulletproof coat level.”

“Remove it with a knife.”

A nonsensical order to deflect the double-barreled cannon with a sword, which could crush even the most golems. But it’s the swordsmen who can do that.

Until now, they hadn’t expected it. The eyes of the beasts approaching their jaws.

* * * *

The six kachitori chased the sniper while running on the roof of the building.

The presence of the sniper stopped the gang members from moving. Why shooters are scary.

A well-trained sniper is evaluated as being able to tie up the troops of a battalion alone, so it is a target that needs to be eliminated urgently.

“The gunfire stopped.”

“It’s a position change. But it’s already too late.”

These are the special forces swordsmen who are said to be the best in the south. You can do it with your eyes closed, as long as you’re already fairly close.

“······!”

At that time, the sub-captain sent a stop signal. The squad members quickly realized why.

“Two in front. One is a sniper.”

On the roof of the building where the kachitori were running. The ‘old man’ and ‘heavy man’ with double-barreled cannons blew away the technical as if they were waiting there.

One of them said the old man.

“Mr. Garrick. Can I help you?”

“Bastienne… the old man. The old man is weak.”

“Chuckling.”

There was no malice in the hulking Gehrig Heiney’s words, but they were enough to tickle Bastien’s dull nerves.

“Geez, Mr. Garrick. Have you ever heard a saying like this?”

Bastien put down the twin-firing cannon he was holding and took out a device from his chest. The moment they saw that “familiar” device, the kachitori’s complexion turned blue, but they couldn’t escape faster than their fingers——

– Kwaaang!

induced position. More than 4,000 iron balls rushed towards Kachitori due to the explosives exploded on both rooftops that had been prepared in advance.

“The old man I met on the battlefield is not an old man, but a ‘survivor’.”

* * * *

“Trap? Directional mines? Why is that thing here…”

Squad leader Kachitori was taken aback by the urgent radio signal from the sub-captain.

This mine, which can wipe out dozens of people at once with the pressure of an explosion of hundreds of iron balls, is a military anti-personnel mine.

Even the members of the Kathitori squad, armed with bulletproof coats, would have been ripped apart without mercy if the parts were not covered by the coats.

In fact, the squad leader gritted his teeth when he said that three people died in the first shot.

“Damn it. Don’t worry about the wounded, subdue them first. I won’t let you go.”

[That, that…!]

The sub-captain’s answer was unsatisfying. At that moment, over the radio… No, a huge, groaning sound that seemed to reverberate throughout the city poured out.

-Koowoaaa!!

A ferocious carnivore. What that meant was clear.

[Soo, this is Suin! That’s a bear beast…! Go, strong union——aaa!!]

Soon the radio cut off. You don’t even need to check what that means.

“Damn, what’s going on? A prisoner?”

It went without saying that beastmen had unusual physical abilities. But, especially if it’s to the point of dealing with a knight…

“Could it be the Brotherhood? Are Cromwell’s beasts here?”

It can’t be. The Brotherhood’s activities will be limited to the North. Why did they appear out of nowhere in the South?

“Squad leader… we have to go to support.”

Anxiety lingered on the faces of the members of the Kathitori squad.

“All of them unleash swords. Assume that there are knight-level beasts and engage in battle. And then contact Lord Hauser—”

It was then. Inside the building where they were waiting, the presence of an outsider was felt.

The distinctive sound of military boots with steel plates on the floor climbs the stairs. two people.

‘What did the vigilante guys do?’

Even in the midst of the continuous gunfire, the clear sound of military boots soon stops. The Kachitori members had already pulled out their imperial swords.

“Here you go.”

It was a low-pitched voice as if blocked by a mask, but it was clearly a woman’s voice. She walks in slowly, followed by ‘Skinny’.

“No, in this town, they’re blaspheming with the imperial sword. Sister, is that a common sword?”

“Saddam is forbidden during operations.”

Louisa Heaney, a woman wearing a mask, and Roy Heaney, a skinny man. The two sighed lightly as they checked Kachitori and Gustavo Porgore, who were guarding them in the room.

“To skip even the basic frequency jump. You’ve been too careless about catching a local gangster.”

Did you find the location by tracking the radio frequency?

The squad leader realized that he was complacent. I don’t think the opponent was a pro.

“Everyone ready for battle! Eliminate the enemy!”

But nothing changes. The sharp magic swords of the Kachitori members emit a cool light.

“Roy. Capture alive if possible.”

“Yep, sister.”

At that moment, a wild change was detected in the skinny Roy. Muscles swell and sharp claws protrude from fingers.

On the exposed nape of the neck, vermilion-colored hairs began to grow.

“Beast man…!”

“Kill the beast!”

·········

······

…

The bloodstains in the room occupied by the Triad Circle had a slightly different direction.

Unlike the scene unique to Kathitori, where clean but brutal confirmation kills are repeated, the bloodstains splattered everywhere look like a place where a beast has swept through.

What’s even more surprising is that the sound of a proper battle didn’t even leak out of the city, where gunshots still resonate.

It was an overwhelming battle, and there were only two survivors, as initially specified.

“Hee, heeik…! Sa, save me!”

Only the boss of the Forgore family, Gustavo Forgore, and the Kachitori squad leader.

“As expected, the imperial sword and knight’s protective coat are troublesome. I have these.”

“Oh~ sister, can I have an imperial sword too?

“Cool…!”

The squad leader let out a rough breath and looked up at Louisa as she took off the protective coat she was wearing.

“I’ve heard of… that there’s a special unit made up of prisoners in the north…”

“·······.”

Louisa stole the squad leader’s coat and put it on, meeting a cold gaze.

It was a secret rumor. A legendary beastman special unit used by the Empire in its war against beastmen.

They are shunned by both the Brotherhood and the Imperial Army, but they are a legendary unit that has performed impossible operations many times.

“How did you get discharged from the Imperial Army? There’s no way the military will leave you guys alone…!”

“The sponsor was an expert in that field.”

Luisa answered calmly and raised her boots toward the squad leader.

– Kwajik!

* * * *

-Chack!

The water spilled from the bucket woke the Kathitori Squad Leader.

“Heo-euk…!”

He hurriedly looked around with his eyes wide open. The upper body is naked, and both wrists are hung with chains.

Most of all, in front of him, a gentleman wearing a hat was smiling and looking at him.

“Woke up. After all, the water is always direct bread.”

“Come on, Jacques Pietro…!”

The squad leader immediately recognized the man in front of him as the big criminal Hauser had been chasing.

The guy attacked them and dragged them to a place like this.

He took out some rice cake from a bag full of something and offered it to him.

“Do you want to eat it? I gave it to the gang leaders and their men, but there was too much left over.”

“What are you thinking!”

Jacques pursed his lips in regret at him who refused.

“If there’s any left over, I’ll have Ellie eat it all. I guess she’ll like it because the food is hard.”

Zach chewed the rice cake thoroughly, drank some water, and talked about the main topic.

“If you’re not going to solve my gluttony, I can do something else. Just tell me the location. Karl Hauser’s location.”

also! Was that the reason you brought yourself? The squad leader glared at Zach with a firm gaze.

“Do you think I’ll tell you?! Do you know who you’re talking to right now!”

“I understand very well what I’m doing. I hope you understand what’s about to happen.”

“Heung…! Do you intend to torture me?”

Zach doesn’t deny it. But there was not mockery or ferocity in his gaze, but even sympathy and pity.

“You’ve heard of Alcatraz, right? That little island in the eastern part of the Empire.”

every know The notorious prison island was also famous as a prisoner’s hell.

“Alcatraz was a terrible place. That remote island floating in the sea was filled with vivid malice beyond human imagination.”

‘I’m sure Jacques Pietro is…’

To the squad leader who remembered something, Zach let out a light sigh and continued.

“Alcatraz’s torturers.

Prison sentences for offenders are focused on their rehabilitation and return to society. But it wasn’t there.

“Biotest experiments, torture, research. It was an ironic system in which science and medicine developed as the prisoners were stained with malice.”

winter of the following year. Jacques Pietro breaks out of Alcatraz, an impregnable prison island. with an old man.

“Pietro…! Come to a corner like this, Maraya!”

The protagonist with a cracked voice was an elderly woman dragging a suitcase.

“Mrs. Matilda! You’re here in no time.”

“Do I look like an old man with no sense of time?”

“My lady, you’re still correcting it.”

Zach approached the old man, kissed him on both cheeks, and hugged him happily. She remembered the beauty she had seen while descending into the basement.

“hehehe… I thought you were a face value guy, but when did you seduce such a pretty girl?”

“I know a lot of attractive women, but don’t be discouraged, the lady’s place is always there.”

“Oh, I’m fed up.”

Matilda is a tad! and put down the suitcase. Then take a picture from the inside! snap! And the sounds of the animals are heard.

“What did you do to catch the mouse this time?”

“I didn’t catch them, I raised them. They starved for a week. I started with 30, but only 10 left.”

“Oh”

Jacques exclaims exclamation and smiles at the squad leader while rubbing the lady’s shoulders. It’s just like a young man introducing his girlfriend, and it’s gorgeous and even weird.

“How far did you go? Ah, yes! Torture and medical advances in Alcatraz.”

The squad leader naturally turned his gaze to Mrs. Matilda. Her bag, to be exact.

“That’s when I realized. Sometimes an enemy is worth making as a friend.”

Former vice-president of the Imperial Medical College.

An intellectual of the age who published numerous medical papers.

But the most famous thing is——

“Mrs. Matilda Verlein.”

The legendary torturer of prison island Alcatraz.

A woman who was the head of the demons.

Jacques Pietro This madman bribed the torturers who tortured and experimented on him.
