Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

Chapter 33 - Spreading His Name (2)



After making his phone call, the man who was Kenji Harada's subordinate sighed. It was pretty obvious what his boss meant when he threatened him using his family. It was obvious that someone like him wouldn't be able to shake off a martial artist, and if he were captured there was a possibility that he would slip something out. He could not take that chance.

This man who was a subordinate of Kenji Harada was Nestor Samonte, he was not part of Kenji Harada's normal forces that were paid properly and were actual employees. This man was one of the people that had been blackmailed into submission.

Nestor was someone who used to be a private investigator and was hired to investigate the Harada Family. Unfortunately for him, his family was kidnapped during his investigation. Kenji Harada used Nestor's family to blackmail him into doing whatever he wanted.

'I guess this is it for me... I just hope that they can somehow continue to live on.' Nestor grabbed hold of his hidden gun. He gnashed his teeth as he remembered the faces of his wife and child. 'I wanted to meet you guys for one last time.'

As Nestor was about to pull out his gun somebody grabbed hold of his hands. He wanted to move his head to have a look at the person who grabbed him, but for some reason, it felt like something was grabbing his neck making him unable to look. He then heard a voice whisper in his ear, it was the same voice of the guy who called himself Fade.

"Do not make a sound and follow me to the back alley. Nod your head if you understand." Nestor unconsciously nodded his head and did what Loki told him to do. When the two of them reached the back alley, Loki carried Nestor and started wall jumping heading for the roof of the building. Once they got to the roof, Loki tossed Nestor to the floor as he wore his mask.

...

Nestor looked up and as he expected it was indeed the assassin called Fade that brought him here. Nestor tried to grab hold of his gun, but he saw it was already in the assassin's hands. Nestor then tried to run away and wanted to jump down, but before he could do so thin wires wrapped around him making him unable to move. Seeing as he had no other way Nestor started to beg.

"Please, just kill me! Aren't you an assassin that moves for some kind of justice?! Then if so please just kill me. If you don't my family will die, so please, please just end me!"

When Loki heard Nestor say that his family might die, Loki was rather surprised. He was planning to torture this guy to gain information, but it would seem that maybe there was no need for that.

"Tell me what do you mean that your family will die."

Hearing Loki's question, Nestor hesitated for a while but in the end, he started to tell his story, of how he failed to protect his family and was forced to do many crimes under Harada Kenji's orders. After learning of the hardships Nestor had been through, Loki could not help but hate the Harada Family even more.

"Do you know where your family is being held?"

"If I knew where they were, I would've tried to rescue them long ago. I wanted to find their location, but I could not risk it as Harada Kenji might get agitated and simply kill my wife and child once he notices my snooping around... I was helpless, I could not do anything. I'm not even sure if they're still alive and well."

"I see... If what you're telling me is true, then, do you want to hire me?"

"...Hire you?..."

"I'm sure you heard what I said back in the parking area. For as long the price is right and the reason is just I will kill any evil. If you hire me, I will kill Harada Kenji and his family. I'm sure once they're gone it would be easier to rescue your family."

"Wait I thought that somebody already hired you to kill them?"

"No, I'm not here to kill them. So what do you want to do?"

"I'm sure someone of your level would need an exorbitant amount of money... Truth be told I currently don't have that much, but please if you wait a while I can definitely pay whatever fee you want."

"Hmph, that's not the kind of payment I want from you." Nestor could see Loki's eyes through the mask and he felt heavy pressure from that glare of his.

"Then what do you want as payment?"

"I will fulfill this mission, but in exchange, once we confirm that your family is safe I want you to surrender yourself to the police." Nestor had a dumbfounded look on his face as he stared at Loki. It took him a while to regain his bearings and ask.

"Is that all?"

"That's all I need from you."

Nestor had been a P.I for a long time now and he had met a lot of people so he was very good at reading them. Even though Loki was wearing a mask and it was hard to see his facial expressions, Nestor could hear the sincerity in his tone. Nestor then bowed his head and answered.

"Then I will hire you, I will pay that price."

"The price has been agreed upon, now it's time for me to get to work. So tell me the location of this hidden base of yours, and everything you know about the Harada Family and their forces Oh right, show me a picture of your family as well, so I know what they look like." Nestor didn't hesitate to tell Loki everything he knew. If it was this assassin, maybe there was a chance, so Nestor made his bet. If Loki fails his mission and Nestor's family was killed, then Nestor would join them in death.

"So that's how it is... Now that I have the information I needed. I'll be heading to the secret base and investigate the location of your family and the families of the others that have been blackmailed. Once I'm done I'll be sure to kill every single member of the Harada Family."

"Thank you." Loki looked at Nestor who continued to bow his head while thanking him.

"I haven't done anything yet, so there's no need to thank me. Also, I'm not exactly doing this for free." Loki no longer waited for Nestor to reply and jumped down from the roof. Nestor quickly looked at the area where Loki fell, but he was nowhere to be seen.
