Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 27 5. Fear

In fact, before the gunshots rang out, Blanca made a hair-lifting gesture, but when she really drew her gun and shot the company dog ​​in front of her, Carl was still stunned.

He didn't expect his employer to be so decisive and draw his gun at the slightest disagreement.

What should he do if he is threatened and has evidence in his hand?
Why not just kill him?

By using force to persuade others, it was obvious that Blanca had learned the true secret of office struggles. But based on this point, Carl had to admit that the previous Juanito, who was always complaining, was not as good as his employer. There was a reason why his employer held a higher position than him in the company.

After a moment of surprise at his employer's decisiveness, Carl acted quickly.

Since his employer had fired, of course he had to follow suit.

While shooting, Carl suddenly realized that he had misunderstood his employer. His employer said there were ten enemies, but when he arrived at the location, the number did not match. He thought the information given by the employer was wrong. Now it seems that there are indeed ten enemies in front of him, no more, no less.

Blanca, who was ready to kill Juanito from the beginning, was willing to listen to so much and seemed to be talking to him just to find out where her evidence was leaked from.

When Juanito fell, some members of the Vortex Gang had already reacted and wanted to draw their guns. They never had the safety on their guns, and it only took them one second to shoot Carl and Blanca into a hive of fire. However, although they drew their guns quickly, they were not faster than Carl.

Carl has watched a lot of fantasy movies at home these days. He likes one of them very much and has watched it twice. The name of the fantasy movie is "A Fistful of Dollars".

From it, Carl learned America's traditional Iaijutsu.

The gunshots were so dense that it sounded like only one shot. After this shot, seven members of the Vortex Gang fell.

Kenshin's magazine has a capacity of twelve rounds. Carl certainly didn't run out of bullets and couldn't fire. Instead, he fired seven rounds in one breath. His hands could no longer withstand the recoil and the gun fell out of his hands.

Although Kenshin's technical pistol has very little recoil, it is not completely recoilless. After firing seven consecutive shots, people who have modified their pistols will feel numbness in their palms, not to mention Carl, a low-modified mercenary who doesn't even have prosthetics such as reinforced tendons.

But just because the gun slipped out of his hand didn't mean Carl couldn't kill those Vortex Gang members before they opened fire.

Carl's weapons had already fallen out of his hands, and two lines like blood vessels emerged from his wrists and were clamped between his index and middle fingers.

[Single-molecule wire] A single-strand cutting wire shaped like a long whip. The blade is only as wide as a molecule. It has considerable thermal energy when fully charged. It is very popular among hackers because it can be used as a hacking tool in addition to being a weapon.

To put it in a simple and popular description, it is a melee weapon with the length of a whip, the sharpness of a soft sword, and hacking functions. This is also the second prosthesis that Carl got from Old Wei after spending all his saved money to modify.

Carl swung his hands, and the three people were the ones that Carl intended to deal with last. The Vortex Gang closest to Carl stopped halfway through drawing their guns.

"call out."

Carl retracted the monomolecular wire, bent down slightly, and caught his Kenshin pistol before it fell to the ground.

"Puch!"

The moment Carl touched his pistol, the three members of the Vortex Gang who were not shot in the head by Carl's pistol all spurted blood from their waists and arms, and then with the smooth cross-section exposed, the heads and thighs of the Vortex Gang members who were split into two fell to the ground together. "I have to wash clothes again."

In order to ensure that others can be killed instantly, something has to be sacrificed. Looking at the blood all over his clothes, Carl sighed. He didn't know how terrifying his current appearance would be in front of outsiders.

After firing the shot, Blanca, who was originally prepared to finish off Carl if he failed to finish off the enemy, was stunned where she was. She looked at the tragic scene caused by Carl in an instant, and the shock to her brain was no less than when she first learned that someone had evidence against her.

I asked you to protect me. But the speed in which you resolved the threat was too fast.

Blanca, who had been prepared to be injured in the fierce exchange of fire and had even anticipated the possibility of death, felt that her mental preparation was in vain.

The task she gave Carl, to be precise, was to get rid of Juanito after she lifted her hair, and then cover her evacuation from the attack of ten people. This was also the most perfect result Blanca imagined. Although there were some deviations in the process, such as she couldn't help but shoot Juanito, but overall she should have been preparing to escape. The possibility of Carl killing everyone in an instant was something Blanca had never thought of.

A good escape and protection mission was turned into a killing spree by you. Are the mercenaries nowadays so capable?

Carl didn't know what Blanca was thinking because to him it was just a matter of course.

How to protect employers?

Killing all those who pose a threat to the employer, isn't that protecting the employer? Is there anything simpler than this?
Do I have to stay next to my employer, worrying all the time that his head might be blown off by some stray bullet?

Just kidding, as a mercenary, Carl is now a professional who has completed several missions, he knows his stuff.

"The threat has been resolved. Now what? What should we do with the employer? I remember there are three more downstairs. Should we take care of them as well?"

"Together?"

The lives of the Uzumaki Gang are also lives, Blanca originally wanted to say so, but the lives of the Uzumaki Gang really did not count as lives in her eyes, so she nodded.

Carl then acted quickly. He walked to the window and fired before the three Vortex Gang members who were standing at the door of the apartment, who had heard the gunshots and were wondering what was happening inside the apartment, could make any move.

It was also so fast that only one gunshot could be heard.

"Solved, then what?"

'Ding, 50,000 euros have arrived.'

"Oh, that's great. I'm done with this deal."

Looking at the brilliant smile on the face of the mercenary in front of her, whose face was splattered with blood and blood was still flowing down his neck without her knowing it, Blanca's body trembled slightly.

She had to admit now that she was really scared, but the target was not the person who threatened her, but the mercenary who came to protect her.
