Chapter 382 Raid (2)
Chapter 382 Raid (2)
"Just like I thought... the ship had been invaded," Ashton mumbled to himself, "Weirdly enough, it doesn't look like they forcefully broke in or something. Someone on the inside must be working with them."
They had just been on this floor a few minutes ago, but now the place was completely ransacked. The decorative pieces were kissing the ground while countless bottles from the bar were shattered all over the place.
It was obvious that some struggle had occurred there a few moments ago. But surprisingly enough, there were no traces of blood anywhere. Could there be a bloodless skirmish? Ashton did not think so.
[I think you are right. Even I think all this was preplanned more than anything else. You should head towards the captain's chamber and make sure everything is fine. Since he has control over the ship, it's obvious the terrorists would attack him first.]
"Yeah, but no before making sure Eula is fine. She is the client after all."

On a different part of the ship...
"Where is Avvo?" A human with a metal arm and prosthetic eye yelled at his crewmates, "Find her! She better pays off her loan this time or I swear I sell her off as a prostitute!"
The man was athletically built and had patched red skin all over his body. It was a rare mutation that was probably caused by the same radiation source that gave him his abilities. It had been a while since the man had given up his humanity in exchange for extraordinary power and strength.
With half of his body turned into a machine, he could no longer feel any pain. The last time he felt pain was when he was on the verge of dying. His 'comrades' abandoned him but his enemies didn't. The Metal Sharks saved him from the mouth of death.
They didn't have any noble intentions for doing so, they just wanted another prey for their scientists to conduct inhumane experiments on. Richard wasn't the only one who had undergone severe mutation enhancements, but he was one of the few that survived.
After the experiments were over, he willingly joined the terrorist organisation as a foot soldier, but over the years he became a small ship's captain. Despite being part of the organisation, he often conducted some jobs on his own to get more upgrades for the metal half of his body.
That's why when Avvo, someone who was in his debt, contacted him about a human seer, he came running. Finding a Seer in the galaxy was an extremely difficult task. They were always in demand and if he managed to capture the seer, he wouldn't have to work for the rest of his life. A seer would go for millions of Yenos if not more.
But even after looking everywhere on the ship, he was unable to find either Avvo or the so-called Seer.
"I can't find this Seer and the commander is pressuring me to look for a celebrity..." Richard growled, "How did he even know that Eula bitch on board this ship?"
"He didn't. It's just a guess since they couldn't find her on the ship they were supposed to." An Insect-like alien replied.
His appearance resembled that of a beetle walking on his hind legs and carrying a shit load of weapons in his arms.
"Whatever, find them! Look through every room if you have to, but get their butts here or I'll kick your butts instead!" Richard roared and his crew once again dispersed to look for the targets.
"Took you long enough." Suddenly Avvo walked out of a room and smiled at Richard, "Ever since that night, you don't even call me anymore. Was I a bit too rough on your little Johnathan?"
Richard's patchy face immediately turned red as he was reminded of the one night he wanted to forget the most. But the redness dissipated as soon as he saw Avvo smiling.
"Where is the seer and that bitch Eula?"
"Let me remind you, Eula is none of your concern." Avvo jabbed her finger in his chest, "As for the seer, I have trapped him in the lower floors. # Send your men below, take him and leave the ship. There were a few people with him so be careful. As for Eula, you can have her after this job is complete. Not before that."
"You don't make the rules here-"
Richard argued but went silent when Avvo showed two fingers to her. His buttcheeks clenched the moment he saw her fingers and didn't argue with her anymore. The more he talked to her, the more he remembered things he didn't want to.
'It's fine bitch... you want to play this game then go ahead.' Richard thought, 'The higher-ups already know about Eula and the entire armada will arrive here in a few hours. Then I'll see who plays with whose butt...'
Avvo winked at the man and was about to walk back to the hideout when from the corner of her eyes, she saw something coming toward her. She barely managed to dodge the attack, but she wasn't so lucky the next time.
"I should have known a bitch like you couldn't be trusted." Ashton mumbled coldly, "But don't worry, I'll let everyone know what you did when I'm done dealing with these fools. Till then, go to sleep."
Saying so, Ashton kicked her in the back of the head, knocking her out for good. Once she was down, he turned his attention toward the terrorists.
There were around forty of them, carrying a variety of weapons with them... weapons that could be sold for quite some money. Not to mention, after killing them, he would also be able to collect on their heads. All in all, it was going to be a profitable trade for him.
"Hm... not bad. This isn't bad at all..."
Ashton smiled and at the same time, Richard laughed as well.
"I don't know who you are kid, but you did a good job knocking that bitch out!" He said, "Now, seeing how you're alone and there are 47 of us, why don't you take us to the Eula bitch and the seer that's accompanying you? I promise to spare you life and give you a share of the proceedings-"
"Alone?" Ashton cut him off as a black portal appeared behind him, "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm never alone..."
