Chapter 24: Chapter 23: Extortion.

Outside the shareholder mansion, the guard is patrolling. “Do you hear anything?”

 

“No, why?”

 

“I hear something.”

 

“It must be a rat or cat.”

 

“Impossible every week this mansion will have an inspection for any pest.”

 

“Do you think anyone would dare to enter here without permission?”

 

“You go first; I will check that area.”

 

“Okay, don’t be late.”

 

Holding a torchlight, the guard began to search the area. Suddenly he smells something and heads toward the smell. What he sees is a guard laying on the ground bleeding. “Are you okay?” The guard rushed at the bleeding guard.

 

While checking, the bleeding guard tried to speak. But nothing came out from his mouth.

 

“Don’t worry, I will call for help.” The guard tries taking out his phone, but suddenly he feels a sharp object touch his neck. Blood begins to flow out from the wound and the guard dies.

 

“That’s already five people, I need to lure them here to prevent them calling for reinforcement.”

 

When she hears a footstep, she hides once more. Thanks to Mr. Sylas' training, she has killed a lot more people since her first kill, and her abilities are improving.

The guards in the mansion who encounter me are already dead. Their bodies were hidden in various rooms and furniture that could fit a full human corpse. Even if someone enters and finds the corpses, they will die from the poison that has yet to dissipate. I can control the poison's potency with my assassin skills.

 

The guards are guarding the meeting room door. Raising my hand, a transparent and odorless gas spread around me.

 

“Why do I feel sleepy?”

 

“Me too.”

 

“I think; I need to sleep.”

 

“Something is not right.” Before the guard can send a warning, he falls down to the floor. All of the guards slowly fall down to the floor, and stop breathing.  

 

Walking near the corpses, their soul energy being absorbed by my body. My soul is getting stronger and help me to control the strong sexual urge. After that incident, I also found out the blood of Blade mantis has another side effect. The urge to kill and consume other living beings.  

 

That’s why in the past the Blood mage has been haunted into almost extinction. Because they can’t control their urge. My adept rank also has improved into the beginner stage, from the early stage.

 

I can hear them talking through the door. Every conversation becomes clearer after casting the enhanced hearing spell.

Inside the meeting room.

 

A chubby middle aged man spoke. “How about we frame him for illegal activity?”

 

“I agreed, we don’t need to get our hands dirty.”

 

“What activity are you talking about, illegal drugs?”

 

“If it is an illegal drug, he can easily get released after some bribe.”

 

“No, it’s the Federation battle suit.”

 

“Are you crazy, if you get caught? The punishment might be death.”

 

While the others were in panic, a middle aged man with almost white hair spoke. “How do you get it?”

 

“I can’t tell you, but it is enough for him to be sentenced for life.”

 

“Okay, we will follow your plan.”

 

Suddenly one of the women inside the room held her chest. “Why am I having trouble breathing?”

 

“What happened?”

 

“Call the doctor.”

 

“Guard come inside!” A chubby man shouted, but no guard entered the room.

 

“Quickly call our guard if something is not right.”

 

“I already called them on their way.”

 

“My body is feeling tired.”

 

Most of the shareholders inside the room slump into their chairs. The ones that try to stand up fall down to the floor after losing their strength.

 

The door opens and a middle aged man wearing a hoodie enters the room. “You guys sure are diligent even at night.”

 

The chubby man spoke weakly. “Who are you?”

 

The hooded man goes near the chubby man. “I want to know the location of the Federation battle suit.”

 

The chubby man is thinking how to deal with the hooded man. Suddenly there is a noise outside the room and after a while. The bodyguards block the large door and point their gun at the hoodie man. One of the bodyguards shouted. “Don’t do anything stupid and release them!”   

 

The chubby man sees his man outside the door, becomes confident and threatens the hooded man. “You are dead, surrender now and I will let you live.”

 

The other shareholders also begin to persuade or threaten the hooded man.

 

While the shareholders are talking, and the bodyguards are pointing their guns at me. I am thinking about the federation battle suit. Keeping any federation weapon is a criminal offense and the punishment is severe. 

 

Raising my hand toward the bodyguards, a black flame came out from my hand and engulfed them. Their guns begin to melt and corrode by the black flame. This is Fusion magic called black flame, a combination of fire and dark magic.

After testing with several metals similar to those used by the Federation military. The fire can only burn outside the metal, but when combined with dark magic. The metal begins to corrode, and the fire can pierce through it. If I can get my hands on the Federation battle suit, I'll be able to put my magic and skill to the test.

 

My strength is insufficient to raise the temperature of the flame enough to pierce through the metal. But as I advance to master rank, this will no longer be an issue, and my fusion magic will be stronger.

 

“Ahhhh!”

 

“Help!”

 

“Nooo!”

 

The bodyguards are screaming in agony and rolling around on the floor. The shareholders became pale upon seeing this and kept their mouths shut. While watching the bodyguards burn alive, I begin to consider the effectiveness of the black flame. I'll use flame and poison magic the next time.

 

When the bodyguards stop moving I look at the shareholders again. Especially the chubby man that speaks a lot. Seeing that hooded man looking at him, the chubby man begins sweating.

 

“Don’t kill, I give you anything you want.”

 

“Me, too”

 

“Don’t kill me.”

 

“I will give you anything.”

 

The various shareholder bodies are paralyzed and unable to move; all they can do is beg to be spared.

 

“Who can give me something valuable like a federation battle suit? I shall spare your life.”

 

The cubby man hearing that sigh in relief, for others they all begin to panic.

 

“I have money, just tell me how much you want.”

 

“I have assets on other planets.”

 

The shareholders tell me what they can offer, but none of it interests me.

 

A middle aged man with almost white hair spoke. “I have Coaxium.” Coaxium is a raw material to create hypermatter fuel. The fuel is used on spaceship, space station, and hyperdrive for travel faster than the speed of light, crossing space through the alternate dimension of hyperspace.

 

“Where is it?”

 

“Release me and I'll tell you the location.”

 

“Fine.” I hurl several daggers into the air, all of which are aimed at the shareholder's heart or throat. With the exception of the chubby man and the middle-aged man with nearly white hair.

 

“Ahh.”

 

“Nooo.”

 

“Aahhh.”

 

The two man eyes when wide and feel terror seeing their ally being kill in front of them.

 

After I finish killing them, I call Sara to enter the mansion.

 

Sara rushes into the mansion after receiving the call. It takes longer for her to arrive because she doesn't know where the room is.

 

“Sorry I am late.”

 

“How is the bodyguard outside?”

 

“Most of them have already entered the mansion, I already killed the rest.”

 

“Have you killed the driver and servants?”

 

“No, the driver is still inside their car and the servants are in another building near the mansion.”

 

“Leave them be, you carry the white hair man. Let’s go.”

 

“Yes, sir.” Sara lifts the white hair man on her shoulder.

 

Carrying the chubby man while absorbing the soul energy in the surrounding. We walk outside the mansion and disappear into the darkness.

Next day there is news about a massacre inside the mansion. Several Sureset Investment shareholders and the guards have been killed. Because of the recent terrorist attack. The Otune government is taking this case seriously. The police are investigating this case.

 

“Is there a camera recording in the mansion?”

 

“There are no cameras, but we found two unidentified individuals, a man and woman near the mansion.”

 

“Show me the video.” After seeing the video, the two hooded people enter the mansion and come out carrying two more people on their shoulders with ease. “I think the woman is actually a man from his strength.”

 

“I agreed, but the possibility this person is a woman is not zero.” 

 

“Agreed, is there any other video?”

 

“No, because the area belongs to private property. They don’t want any police spying on them.”

 

“Continued the investigation.”

 

“Sergeant, How about the two missing people? I suspect the people that have been carried in them.”

 

“We don’t have any clue, just send the report and the video to the higher ups.”

 

“Yes, sir.”

 

Suddenly, the sergeant remembers something. “I heard that the Federation has sent a hunter to this planet?”

 

“Yes, but it will take time for the hunter to be mobilized.”
