Chapter Index

    widely…

    I jumped off the rooftop and landed in the alley next to the target building with a small sound.

    The target of this operation was a securities company owned by Black Foot, a secret society that had already collapsed.

    The name is NextGen Financial… Ira or something.

    It was a company with a plausible name that was operated for money laundering, and although it had an office in New York, it was almost like a shell company with almost no employees in the first place. Considering that an entire building was being used, it could not have been quite sloppy management.

    ‘Originally, it was maintained through the influence of Black Foot, but it was a company that would naturally go bankrupt after I wiped out the top leaders.’

    -Nextgen Financial is a business that trades over-the-counter stocks, collects large fees for various reasons, and launders money.

    ‘Then all the employees were fooled as well?’

    -Except for very few.

    ‘It’s rather good.’

    I wanted to show off my hot side by making a name for myself as a fake secret organization, but if I do this, a lot of my hesitation will disappear.

    It seemed that if Maria processed the information well in the background, it could be resolved into a conflict between armed forces and a criminal organization that laundered money. Even though I was planning to debut as a member of a criminal organization, I didn’t like the idea of ​​a company of blackfoot guys taking on the role of innocent victims, but I was glad I did.

    I think other ordinary people will feel less anxious if they hear that the person who got hit was also a bad person.

    Lastly, I checked the operation plan and gave instructions to my team members.

    “Moves as briefed. Check position.”

    -check.

    The answer came from the android who was the leader of each team over the radio.

    The equipment we were wearing now was New Kind’s battle suit. However, since the helmet parts were exposed on my broadcast, the design was slightly changed.

    To be honest, it was too much for a mere attack on a securities company. There is no need for me to step forward, any member of the Awaken team can do so on their own.

    However, if you want to make a lot of noise and attract attention, it would be better to have a large number of people.

    We have to show some resistance on the other side and show that we are fighting as a group, so other people will see the situation as more serious.

    Although they were called a breach team, there was no need to blow down the door with explosives or anything. As it was a securities company, the door was wide open.

    “Prepare flashbangs. Enter immediately after throwing.”

    -Flashbang ready.

    Tickㅡ

    When I heard the sound of a safety pin being pulled out, I did not wait and ordered the operation to begin.

    “Throw!”

    Ting! Degurrr

    A flashbang rolled across the stone floor of the lobby, drawing people’s attention.

    “What is this?”

    “No way, it’s a grenade… !”

    The moment the sight and sound attracted the attention of security and staff, the flashbang exploded.

    Boom!

    “Ugh!”

    “My eyes!”

    “I can’t see! What’s going on?!”

    Intense light and sound filled the lobby, momentarily neutralizing the security forces.

    “Enter!”

    The crew followed my instructions and immediately entered the building. The member in front was holding a shield, and the members holding rifles followed him and entered accurately and quickly.

    ‘If you look at the way they are engaged in operations, it looks almost like an anti-terrorist unit rather than a criminal organization?’

    -Because they are operators whose combat algorithm has been input. This is basic.

    Maria said confidently. It was a voice that reminded me of raising the bridge of one’s nose.

    “What… ? What are those people?”

    “I don’t know. What are you filming?”

    “I heard something explode.”

    I could feel the eyes of people walking down the street turning towards the building we entered. Although the streets of New York were noisy, it was not normal to hear explosions out of nowhere.

    ‘If there is a gunshot, there will be chaos.’

    I leisurely entered from behind and fired my gun at the ceiling like I saw in the movies.

    Ta-da-da-da-dan!

    “Don’t move! From now on, we control this place! Stop everything you’re doing and get down on the floor! there! Can’t you hear me telling you not to move?!”

    bang!

    “Aaagh!”

    “Hiik… !”

    “Uh, get down! Quickly!”

    As expected from a country of guns, everyone seemed to know how to deal with such a situation.

    No one tried to become a hero for no reason. After scolding him appropriately and firing his gun in the air a few times, most of them followed instructions and quickly laid down on their stomachs on the floor.

    The crew approached the few people who were frozen and pressed their shoulders and made them kneel down.

    The security guard in the lobby is just a scarecrow. Since they were just ordinary people outsourced, a plan was made to subdue them.

    -The real one is presumed to be the security team working upstairs. Be careful as they may be armed with rifles or shotguns.

    ‘You won’t die even if you get hit with a straight shot.’

    In my head, I was having that conversation with Maria and I was screaming angrily.

    “You dare think of taking money from our organization?! If you don’t bring me the money right away, I’ll tear down this entire building!”

    At my glance, a member of the crew carrying a large duffel bag opened the bag and spilled the contents on the floor.

    “Um, what is that? no way… ?”

    “Is it all a bomb?”

    “Me, I don’t want to die!”

    Loud, loud, loud.

    People who saw the pile of bombs spilling out of the duffel bag were very frightened.

    ‘Well, even though I said this, I really have no intention of destroying the building.’

    Because the area is so densely populated with buildings, if all of the bombs exploded this much, only one building would be damaged. The remains of the collapsed building will cover other nearby buildings.

    I just planned to explode a chunk or two right before the job was over and just break the window.

    That much would be enough to create a serious atmosphere.

    “I’m keeping a close eye on you so you don’t do anything foolish.”

    I left those instructions and went upstairs.

    There weren’t many employees upstairs, so it was cleared out very quickly.

    And the moment you climb the stairs and step onto the last floor.

    Gunfire rained down from the president’s office on the other side of the hallway.

    Doo doo doo doo!

    “Ike.”

    When I noticed the gun pointed in this direction, I took refuge in the stairs again, so no bullets hit me.

    There is no problem if I just get hit directly, but I was reluctant because I was worried about scratching my battle suit.

    I’m thinking of leaving behind some witnesses, but I think it might be a bit too Terminator-like.

    However, the firearms they used were no ordinary items.

    Too doo doo doo!

    “… What, do fund managers use guns like that these days?”

    A machine gun spewing fire as soon as I peeked my head out.

    It was a weapon that could not have been found in an ordinary securities company. The company’s security team uses machine guns rather than rifles or shotguns.

    -It must have been smuggled by tricking it into being car parts or toys. It seems like a lot of it is being distributed these days.

    “Anyway, there is a lot of creativity on the bad side. Those bastards.”

    He grumbled as he watched the bullets passing over his head.

    Progress was blocked for a moment, but there were no problems. They were quite naive if they thought of staging a sit-in protest with only a machine gun.

    Whick!

    The flashbang was thrown again. Because the timing of the trigger was intentionally adjusted and thrown, they were unable to close their eyes after recognizing that the incoming bomb was a flashbang.

    bang!

    “Ugh!”

    “Flashbang! It’s a flashbang!”

    “You guys who can’t see, get behind! Don’t just shoot and hit an ally!”

    “First, grind it! Don’t let them come up the hallway!”

    The weapon may have good firepower, but there’s no way criminals can handle this situation as calmly as the military.

    Ta-da-da-da-dan!

    Bang!

    I slowly leaned out and punched a hole in the forehead of the guys holding the gun.

    Then, I ran down the quiet hallway and arrived at the room where they were.

    “Ugh… ! These bastards… !”

    The guy who wasn’t hit directly by the flashbang picked up the machine gun that his colleague had dropped, but it was already right in front of the flying guy’s nose.

    I grabbed the guy’s elbow and tightened my grip.

    Creep~

    “Kwaaaa!!”

    The guy was screaming in pain as his bones and muscles were all crushed. Is this where the ulnar nerve or something passes?

    Naturally, the hand holding the machine gun relaxed.

    I fired a gun at the femoral artery of the guy running from the side and hit him in the chest with the butt.

    Wow~

    I could feel my ribs breaking, so I thought I may have punctured my lung.

    ‘Pneumothorax is good. As long as he doesn’t die from excessive bleeding.’

    There was no way he could receive first aid in the current situation, so he was as good as dead.

    That was the end of the situation upstairs.

    The security team was definitely better armed than the security in the lobby, but it was still a security team. There was no comparison with my crew in terms of number and combat power.

    I also delivered a lead bullet to the head of the man in the suit they were protecting.

    He was a guy assigned by Blackpaw to be the head of a securities company, but his name wasn’t worth hearing about.

    ‘Let’s see… There were a lot of onlookers gathered.’

    When I glanced down the window, I saw that the crowds on the street had disappeared and the police cars that had arrived first were surrounding the building. There were no special forces or snipers yet to be seen.

    “You are surrounded! After letting go of the hostages, drop your weapons and surrender!”

    The voices of the police with loudspeakers could be heard clearly throughout the building.

    Since the window on the first floor was not covered, someone who heard the gunshot and saw what was happening inside reported it to the police.

    Although this was an intentional situation, there was no intention to prolong the confrontation.

    I planted a bomb in the president’s office and went downstairs.

    ‘I think it would be good if we could promote Enigma Chat here.’

    I thought as I went down the stairs. It will now be somewhat known that we are a secret society. Although it is a fake name, no one would think that the organization that caused this incident in the middle of New York was a scarecrow.

    However, the introduction of Enigma Chat here was a bit ambiguous.

    -You can create the data and distribute it later.

    ‘But I think there might be a better way.’

    As Maria said, there would be no problem if we proceeded according to the original plan, but it was disappointing that when we actually started work, it felt somewhat dull.

    As I returned to the lobby, I saw a hostage secretly pointing his smartphone in this direction. As soon as I saw that, a good idea came to mind.

    ‘There it is. Our camera director.’
