HA1 6.2 - Takeo's First Action
While waiting, Hide gently rubbed his AEK-74SU. The S code on the assault rifle indicated that it was a variant with a folding stock. While the U code indicated that it used the shortest barrel. When the stock was stretched, the total length of AEK-74SU was only 75 cm. A compact size that was suitable for an assault launch from a vehicle.
As soon as he saw the light beam in the distance, Hide stretched the AEK-74SU's stock, followed by loading a magazine, cocking it, and placing the selector lever into safety position.
Then, while lowering his balaclava down to his chin Hide said, "Wait for my confirmation."
"Okay."
Not long after that, a black sedan crossed S14’s position. Takeo could not see the sedan model, but Hide said firmly, "That's our target. Once they disappeared in the next turn, start the engine and chase them."
Takeo nodded and after the Civic's tail lights disappeared behind a turn, he immediately started S14’s engine and stepped on the gas.
While lowering the window Hide asked, "Do you remember the straight road after km.32 marks?"
"Yeah."
"Stick tight to our targets just before they enter the straight road, and then give them three blinks using the headlights. If they slow down, advance slowly until the front right of S14 is aligned with the rear left of Civic. Then, push them diagonally, and make sure our car stop in good position."
"Roger."
"The fuel tank and hood of commercial cars do not have additional protection. Continuous shots on fuel tank can cause the car to burn. Aimlessly shooting the engine can also cause a short circuit which can lead into fire. I can only shoot the Civic's driver. So, I need the view as wide as possible."
Takeo swallowed hard before answering in a slightly trembling voice, "I'll try my best, but what if they don't slow down after I blink the headlights?"
Hide casually answered, "In that case, I'll try to shoot the tires. But there's a chance I'll hit the fuel tank and the Civic catches fire with the money we're after."
"Understood."

With a speed of 90 km/h, Takeo took a turn at an area that was not exactly a turn but also not a straight road, and it felt as if the S14 only slightly shifted its line without any g-force. It was an extraordinary maneuver executed by using extraordinary skill, by someone who did not have many driving hours on the highway.
However, Takeo didn't feel like he had done anything out of the ordinary. To him, the turn he had just made was no different from the other turns he had done while training at Old Pier. Of course Hide had a different opinion and he was very satisfied that Takeo did not disappoint him.
As soon as the Black Civic's tail lights were visible in the distance Hide immediately said, "I trust you."
"Roger."
Takeo immediately stomped the gas, and in an instant the S14 accelerated and catching up with Black Civic. With ease, Takeo stalked the Black Civic until final turn before km.32 marks. As both cars made the turn, the S14’s front almost hit Black Civic’s rear, but Takeo deftly made adjustments just a second before the collision occurred.
And just as Hide said, as soon as Takeo blinked the headlights three times, the Black Civic immediately slowed down to 60 km/h. Without delay Takeo made his move to overtake, and as soon as the front tire of S14 was aligned with the rear tire of Black Civic, he gently swerved to the right.
After receiving a diagonal push, the Black Civic instantly spun wildly before crashing into the guardrail and stopping. The S14 also spun, but not as wild as Black Civic, and without difficulty Takeo controlled it until the S14 stopped two seconds earlier before the Black Civic.
The time span of two seconds was only fleeting, but it was more than enough for Hide to make a good aim. Moreover, Takeo positioned Hide to be within 10 meters of Black Civic and he did not need to turn his waist to take aim.
With one fluid motion Hide made an alignment to Black Civic’s dashboard, shifted the selector lever to full auto, and then squeezed the trigger.
Ra-tatartarrrrr!
The rain of projectiles accurately hit the Civic's windshield and dashboard, and then mercilessly penetrated the bodies of two occupants who never imagined someone would hit them with two fully loaded magazines.
In his previous life, to finish off a target at a distance of 20 meters, Hide would go straight for the head. However, in this lifetime he had not had enough shooting practiced yet. Therefore, although his soul carried the god-level shooting skill from his previous life, his body lacked the muscle memory needed to use it. Until he got back his accuracy, Hide could only rely on volume of fire to finish off his targets.
Hide deftly inserted the third magazine before exiting the S14, and while pointing his AEK-74SU to Black Civic's dashboard, he stepped forward at full alert.
When he arrived at the front of the Civic, Hide found the driver and his colleagues were still breathing and gave him hateful looks. Without hesitation, he ended their lives with headshot. He then grabbed two suitcases in the trunk while Takeo carried the S14 to close over to him.
When Hide put the two suitcases to S14’s backseat, he saw Takeo was staring the two corpses on the Civic with a stunning look. Wasting no time Hide then entered S14.
"As soon as the courier's car stops, Aizen Mafia HQ will notice it right away. We have only eight minutes before they send out a two-way sweep."
"Yeah."
After nodding slightly Takeo stepped on the gas.
