A week came by after the last, expedition.
I was hired by some nobles.
"This is the place..."
The Mansion is from the House of Asteria. A Low baron noble that rose to Nobility. By being influential on the region.
I was brought inside the mansion and met the owner
"My name is Derrick Asteria. You must be one of the mercenaries that, I hired"
"Yes" My entire body is covered in a mantle, Covering my face
"Good, I want you to exterminate this"
I was given, a picture of a person
"Context"
"No context, Just do the job and I will award you 30 gold"
That's average... but better than none
"Then. I will accept, Where do I find this individual"
"The North here, there's a village. Do whatever you do to them. I don't care. Just kill that Man and bring his Head or body, if did that, I will award you additional funds"
"Then it's a deal"
Walking outside, I begin my preparation
"This person..."
I walk in the deep forest, and look at the map I was given. It's a small town.
I walk to the streets, it's a ghost town. But I can hear people inside. There's No in. And everything in the town is Isolated.
Jumping roof to roof. I waited on the tallest building.
"Scanning... Looks like this is going to be a while"
The next day, It's the morning. I manage to scan almost everyone in the town. Exception to that person
"Odd... He hasn't appeared yet..."
Afternoon. I look around outside the town.
"No trapdoors, nor hidden bunkers outside the town also..." Then something appear in my radar. I walk back to the town. And I was surprised. He was there sitting on one of the tables
"He appears now..." Nobody saw me yet...
I look around. Nobody is looking. I aim my machine gun. And fire.
A large explosion, heard everywhere, and birds flies in a panicked.
The large explosion, startled the animals and confused everyone. But the Man is shot dead.
As everyone waited what happen. The Man fell down.
"He's dead... Now I need to retrieve the body"
I pointed the gun in the air.
and shot fire
The crowd runs away. And I carry the lifeless body, and runs away.
Going back to the mansion. I was escorted to the basement where Derrick was there.
"Good good, He's dead"
"Yes" I drop the body in the ground
He examine the body. And was impressed. He clap and deliver a bag of money
"That's 30 gold, and additional 20 more"
When I'm about to leave. Suddenly I was block
"What are you doing"
"Normally. I would just let you leave. But I know another party will hire you and also kill me. So Ending you right now is better"
As everyone in my radar becomes hostile. I immediately fired My auto canon and Machine gun to the guard That, Cover in the way.
"Guards! Don't let him get away!"
As I tried opening the door it's lock. I fire my 57mm and runs out
"Damnit!"
I run outside, and was block my guards.
"Get him!" I shot there asses and run away.
"This is bad, should I kill him?" The entire place is surrounded... I could do a break in by going to the gate and fire smokes. and HE. But Killin him and stealing his gold is much better...
"Right... let's do this" I stop and enter the mansion.
Looking around. there's some maids, that are hiding.
running hallway to hallway, Looking around.
And found the one of the entrance of the basement, Inside the building.
I open the door, and He isn't there anymore
I scan around. And he's already outside running away
"That Coward..."
As I head outside. The guards are closing in.
"50 guards... and 5 of them are mages also..."
I Look around. And climb to the 3rd floor of the mansion. And I saw something...
"That's a child..." It's a elder child with it's younger siblings, held together. I held with my attack.
The door is of the mansion has been broken. And guards filled inside.
"Perfect..." Using the opportunity. I rush to the main gate, killing only 4 guards and a maid that was in the way.
Going to his direction
"Ha... ha... I manage to get away..."
He look around, and he has a staff.
"By this, I can finally use this to rule over the kingdom!"
Then...
*Bang*
His entire body exploded
"No"
I look around, only his head is still intact. But it doesn't have any life. He held a staff. When I held it. Bugs my system that if I directly hold it. It can possibility kill me...
Using the arm, of the deceased Derrick. I scooped the staff and when back to HQ.
After tell them what happened. They decided to investigate, and finds out the person I assassinate, is his brother.
