Chapter 38
Heroic Bloodshed 7
-:-
The Theo and Juno duo moved quickly and stealthily within the chaotic alley of Hellhole district.
Their destination was the massive scrap yard beside Hellhole.
Theo’s hideout had many entrances scattered throughout the scrapyard, thus it was easy to lose their pursuers once they get there.
Unfortunately, taking the shortest and straightest line to the scrapyard was impossible.
This was due to the fact that the Shigetsu Clan’s headquarters/mansion was located near the scrapyard.
Apparently, they use the scrapyard as a hidden passage to smuggle drugs, prostitutes, guns, criminals and other illegal stuff into the city proper without going through the proper and heavily monitored channels.
As such, the duo decided to go the opposite direction for a more Holywood-ish exit from the den of scum.
With that in mind, Theo called down his armory drone and update his loadout.
Along with his standard Beretta 92 pistols, he added the Beretta ARX160 with 5 drum magazines.
A few minutes of running the back alley, they eventually came to the limit of how far they can move unseen.
The duo took a couple of minutes to rest while Theo use his spy drones to assess the situation.
Based on the phones signals intercepted by the drones, it seemed that there was a 50 thousand Rook bounty on Theo if dead. 100 thousand Rooks if he was caught alive.
On the other hand, Juno had a 50 thousand Rook bounty if caught alive and alive only.
Pretty much your standard rape hentai scenario.
It was pretty much within Theo’s expectation.
However…
“Well… shit” said Theo as he watched the video feed from the spydrones flying a few thousand feet in the air.
“What’s wrong?” asked Juno
“It seems that I underestimate how powerful of an incentive the 50K Rook bounty was. While the major players aren’t interested, quite a lot of small time gangs are mobilizing. It is a lot of money after all.”
“More meat for the grinder. I don’t see the problem.” Said Juno with glee
“Even if we have to face off against nearly a thousand armed thugs? Some of them have 50 cals and Shigetsu even brought some monsters with them.”
“Oh…”
While the duo was head and shoulders above mere thugs, even they cant match a unified front of criminals with lots of guns and a couple of supernatural beings was definitely more than they could chew.
“Then what’s the plan? Are we going to go full stealth and leave Hellhole? That’s a boring choice, but I will follow if you desire it” said Juno with a bit of pouting in her voice.
Theo thought for a bit.
True enough, the wiser course of action was to make a silent exit.
Better safe than sorry.
However, the opposite had massive amounts of benefits when it came to Theo’s goals.

The main reason why Theo had a facial recognition software installed was because he simply couldn’t tell which people were worthy of a bullet to the brain.
It would leave a bad aftertaste if he accidentally killed an innocent civilian.
However, this particular incident has just exposed a large number of scum, effectively saving Theo large amounts of time and effort of identifying them individually.
Driven by cold reason and burning blood lust, Theo made up his mind.
“We are going to go full stealth, but we’re not going to retreat. Not just yet at least” said Theo.
“Fu fu fu. What is your desire my beloved?”
“We’re going to stalk and play with our prey. If we play our cards right, we can make it so that these scum will kill each other for many months to come. What do you think?”
“What I think doesn’t matter. Speak your desire and I shall grant it no matter what it is. Your command is my wish.” Said Juno with surprising seriousness.
Despite telling Theo not to care of her will, Juno’s carnivorous clearly demonstrated that she greatly approved.
“Very well. Listen carefully Juno coz the plan is both simple and complicated”

2 Hours Later
As you’d expect of a massive pleasure district, the night was where Hellhole was the most vibrant.
Mind you, Hellhole was still hectic during the morning, but it was in the shroud of darkness where this poisonous flower truly bloomed.
Guns, drugs, sex, rock and roll was in full swing at night.
However, the regular chaotic debauchery had a fair bit of tension added into it.
While it was normal for a vast majority of the Hellhole populace to pack some firearms, it was uncommon for so many to wield so openly while radiating with bloodlust.
It was also uncommon for heavily armed thugs to patrol the streets with watchful eyes
Hellhole was in a more unnerving state than usual.
Those who were not skilled with the fine art of murdering others kept close their respective buildings so that it would be much easier to dive for cover
In one of the many bullet ridden recently abandon warehouse, 2 of the 8 man Xfactor gang was shivering in fear as the unnatural silence enveloped the surrounding.
“Geronimo! Brill! Joe! Where the hell is everyone!” roared one of the thugs.
The building they occupied was where a recently departed criminal organization was wiped out by a larger criminal organization.
It was tall enough to get decent view of a fairly large area of the many alleys of Hellhole.
It was the perfect lookout point for The Boss and his maid Victoria
For a bunch of thugs, this was a very wise decision.
Unfortunately for the thugs, others thought of the same thing.
The two thugs shivered in fright as an unseen enemy silently stalked them.
As the two reluctantly traversed the large warehouse, a familiar voice upped the fear.
“IM SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I DON’T WANT DIEAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HU-”
The sound of something heaving crushing a human body ended their comrade’s screams of pain.
This level of fear was beyond the thug’s threshold.
“Fuck this shit! I’m out of here!” said one of the thugs as he turned to run
The other thug followed suit.
The two could only take 3 steps before stopping in their tracks.
Blocking the exit was a beautiful violet haired maid with a thick blade on one hand and the head of their comrade on the other.
With a sadistic smile, the maid charged at the two thugs.
“STAY AWAY!”
The thugs fired their AK47s with reckless abadon in desperate hopes of driving off the maid.
The maid dodged their fire with bestial speed.
The maid threw the severed head at one of the thugs to distract him while she charged into the other.
Due to the thug’s reckless firing, he emptied his magazine too quickly.
The precious second he wasted on reloading was the time the maid took to chop him in half horizontally before splitting him vertically.
By the time the other thug could recover from his traumatic headlong encounter, the maid was already on him.
The thug used his rifle to block, but the maid’s blade sliced through it and the thug in one go.
And in a gleeful violent impulse, the maid crushed the thug’s head with her boot
And just like that, another gang was wiped out.
“Hey Juno, I thought I told you to at least keep the guns in one piece.” Said Theo through the comms.
“Ha ha. Sorry. Though I’m a masochist, their fear filled faces tickled the little sadist in me.” Replied Juno with a peaceful smile on her face.
“*sigh*. Bring all of the guns and ammo to me.”
“Roger that.”
After looting the corpses, Juno used her grappling gun to head straight to the walkway directly above her.
From there, she went to one of the windows where Theo has set up an interesting contraption.
It was a crude turret system made up pretty much anything they could find that held and fired the guns gathered from the corpses.
It was powered by a car battery and had phone attached to it.
It functioned like an improvised bomb used by terrorists.
It cant move, it didn’t have a reload function and the accuracy was quite bad but it was more than enough for the job
Normally it would take a lot of time to make one of these ugly machinations, but to Theo, it was only a few short minutes.
At the moment, there were 29 similar turrets scattered all over Hellhole
It would have been faster if he used his transmutation to full force, but he kept it to the bare minimum in order to leave as little trace as possible.
At most, he transmuted wires and nails to hold the thing together.
Sadly, it will probably fall apart after the first volley
It didn’t take Theo long to place the AK47 in its respective handle.
With satisfied smile, Theo and Juno once again fade into the darkness.
