Chereads / Alt-Line: The Family of Sin / Chapter 27 - Assassination

Chapter 27 - Assassination

Reaching Chief Theo's mansion Nia saw that security was not as big as she thought. The mansion had a few cameras on the outside and a few people patrolling. The lights were out so Nia guessed that he was not here yet so she chose to wait nearby keeping the mansion in sight.

After 30 minutes a short older man with brown hair surrounded by 4 bodyguards entered the mansion. Nia waited a bit longer until she saw that the lights to his office were on and decided that it was time to move.

The office was on the left side of the mansion so Nia after turning on the jammer and putting the mask on snuck to the right side and threw all but one of the grenades that she got at it.

BOOOOOM!!!!

The explosion was greater than she thought and quickly ran to the left side of the mansion through the hole she created. The guards all heard the explosion and rushed there right away. Nia was already deep inside the mansion by time the first guard reached the hole.

As she was sneakily rushing to the office Nia saw 3 of the bodyguards rushing to where the explosion was. When she arrived at the office she could hear Chief Theo's alarmed voice.

"What happened!?!"

"Sir, one of the guards reported that there are scraps of metal by the hole created from the explosion. They think that someone had infiltrated the mansion."

"No Shit! Dumbasses!! I want to know where they are and if they are alone or in a group."

Nia who was listening to their conversation smirked at the chaos she caused and slowly opened the door to the office and tossed her last grenade in it before taking cover.

*Creak*

BOOOOOM!!!!

"FUUUUUUCK!!!"

When the dust cleared Nia saw that the bodyguard was dead and Chief Theo was missing an arm. Before he could claim his bearings she jumped in on the attack landing a hit on his chest knocking him back a few feet.

Seeing the intruder Chief Theo quickly covered his body in a layer of rock and threw a small boulder at his attacker.

Nia dodged it with ease and closed in making a fist punching his chest again before jumping backwards away from his downward attack.

Chief Theo pulled out a greatsword from thin air making Nia assume that it was in his holobrace. He finally saw who attacked him. It was a small figure like a child in a feminine attire.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?" The Chief asked as he was getting ready to attack.

"Hahahaha" A soft melodious voice laughed mockingly at his questions but didn't answer him.

Chief Theo was temporarily stunned at how beautiful her laugh was breaking his concentration. She used his distracted state to land another hit on his chest.

Angered by getting hit again he taunts her while going on the attack, "Is that all you've got shrimp!"

Slashing his sword at Nia, she blocks it and and jumps back, landing she quickly rushes and lands another attack on his chest.

Chief Theo coughs up blood and falls to his knees, his rock armor crumbling. He looks up to Nia and coughs again.

"H-How?"

This time Nia did answer him while lifting up her arm and started vibrating it, "I have a Vibration affinity. Earlier each punch I landed on your chest, I sent small shockwaves towards your heart making it fail."

When Chief Theo heard Nia's voice he felt humiliated and angered pushing through the pain of his heart failing summoned all the mana he could for a last attack.

"I'LL KILL YOUUUUU!!!"

"EARTH SPIKE!!!"

Nia felt the vibrations on the ground and she dodged the earth spike. Nia rushes at Chief Theo and throws a punch with her vibrating arm at his chest landing a powerful shockwave that hit his heart making it explode.

"Hmph!" Nia snorted as his lifeless body dropped and hit the floor the floor.

'Heartbreaker'

After Chief Theo died Nia put his body in her Inventory and left the mansion before anyone arrived, taking his holobrace with her.

His holobrace was low grade with no protection so she opened it up seeing that he had 4 mid rank mana coins and 2,750 low rank mana coins. seeing nothing else interesting she vibrated the holobrace in her hands destroying the components within the device.

Nia left the village that was currently in chaos and opened her holobrace.

Nia contacted Rose and after wait a second she picked up the call.

"Nia! I missed you! How was your mission?" Nia heard Rose speak and Luna in the background.

"It was really fun using my vibrations the best I can and testing out my new moves I came up with."

"That's good if you had fun but since you were in a rush what beast did you hunt down?" Luna asked.

Hearing that question Nia remembered that she told them that she was also doing a beast hunt like Cassandra and Naomi.

"Ah, Well about that." Nia nervously spoke.

"Did something happen? Are you okay?" Rose and Luna asked worriedly.

"N-no nothing happened. In fact I completed my mission."

"That's good but I definitely hear a but in that sentence." Luna said

"I completed my mission but It wasn't a beast hunt mission, but instead a assassination mission."

"YOU WHAT!?!" Rose and Luna were outraged at Nia's response and demanded to know where she was so the could come get her.

Nia told them where she was and they told her to sit tight and wait for them. They also told her that they will talk when they are back in the room.

A few hours later after turning her mission in Nia was sitting in front of Rose and Luna who were fuming at her.
