BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180: The Headquarters
Chapter 180: The Headquarters
The employee\'s family ran away quickly without waiting to know why they were put in a near-death situation just a few minutes ago.
Kahn nocked an arrow on the bowstring, leisurely walked in front of this group and shot 5 of these hired killers in the head at point blank range.
He didn\'t have to use any of the skills to kill these murderers who could only toy & kill the weak. Just his aura alone was more than enough to restrict all of their movements.
He then turned to the wolfkin archer, the last remaining member of their squad.
"I\'m gonna give you two choices. One, willingly tell everything I want to know and I\'ll let you go. Two, resist or try to pull a stunt; your death won\'t be as swift and painless as them." said Kahn as he lowered the intensity of his aura so the archer could at least speak.
"Tell me who hired you?"
"Fuck you! I\'m not telling you shit!" shouted the wolfkin.
But instead of getting angered by the disrespectful tone, Kahn gave a slight smirk instead.
"I was hoping you\'d say that."
Then next second, 4 black Grappling Extensions came from his back and tied up the wolfkin\'s body.
Kahn then took out a dagger placed in the holster he wore and his hand reached towards the ear of this wolfkin.
"No!! Not the ear.."
"Argghhh!!!!"
Before the archer could plead.. Kahn cut off one of his ears. To the wolfkin species.. Their ears and their snout were of the utmost importance which signified their species characteristics.
The screams and wails of this wolfkin echoed in the dark alley.. But there was no one to hear his wails.
"Now, let\'s move to the other one." said Kahn with a gentle expression on his face as if cutting off someone\'s precious body part didn\'t bother him at all.
"No!! I\'ll tell you! I\'ll tell you!.. Just don\'t. Just don\'t kill me." agreed and pleaded the archer. His smug and carefree expression from before was nowhere to be seen.
"You have my word. I won\'t kill you." declared Kahn with a righteous expression on his face.
The Archer then revealed how the order came from their superiors and how they were only following the commands.
He also told Kahn that at midnight, even more of their fighters and trained assassins were going to depart and kill over fifty of Bloodborne company\'s employees and burn a few warehouses and shops.
And the main records of the clients who hired their organization were kept in their main headquarters. And how it was a very secured space and no one without the password or who hadn\'t been seen by the security before was allowed to enter.
After hearing about the details on the location & what kind of traps were set there to catch the intruders… Kahn finally felt satisfied.
He let go of the wolfkin and released him from his extensions.
"I see. I guess then I have no other choice." spoke Kahn.
Stab!
Suddenly, the wolfkin\'s heart was stabbed from behind.
"You.. You said you won\'t kill me." spoke the archer, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
"Yes.. But I\'m not the one who killed you." said Kahn nonchalantly and gestured at the one stabbing the Archer from behind.
It was none other than the Assassin subordinate of Kahn who was put near to death by these killers not too long ago.
Kahn then absorbed the abilities & skills of this Archer. He didn\'t need the skills but the perfect bloodline sample.
After wearing this dead wolfkin\'s clothes and gear as he himself transformed into the identical copy of this archer.
Kahn knew that he only had 2 hours now before the other killers from this assassin organization were deployed to kill his people and destroy his property.
Currently, every one of his allies except for Armin were busy protecting a part of his company such as the main building, Albestros, their warehouses and stores. All of them were commanding and maintaining the security of a particular sector.
He couldn\'t take out Blackwall & Rudra because of their size and Ceril was still in the process of completely absorbing the cores they ate recently.
So Kahn was alone on this one.
After traveling by using various modes of transportation… he finally reached a bustling area full of taverns, crowded shops and thousands of people going about their merry lives.
By no means would anyone ever think of this posh and clean commercial area as the den of professional killers who would kill anyone as long as you offered them a good price.
Kahn was now in the getup of Hanthor, the wolfkin archer.
He entered a busy tavern full of customers asking for booze and food loudly. He went to the counter and spoke to the main receptionist in a hushed tone.
"Silent Whistle." said Kahn.
The receptionist nodded after hearing the password and signaled Kahn to follow him.
After going two levels underground.. Kahn was introduced to a completely unbelievable sight.
The building above was a normal, day-to-day life type of settlement you\'d see anywhere.
But the sight in front of him was completely different from what one would expect.
Rather than looking like some underground tunnel or a ruined dungeon..
The entire floor was like an open field; just brighter, wider and well facilitated. Nearly 2,000 people and trained fighters were busy discussing their contracts, targets, information & their payments.
As if this wasn\'t some secret headquarter of a criminal organization… but a farmer\'s market.
But rather than being taken aback by this revelation.. Kahn\'s countenance turned grim instead. He spoke with a sinister smile on his face.
"Let\'s see which one of these bastards dared to kill my people."
