The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)-Chapter 262

262 Attacking Human Transit Warehouse

“I’m not sure, Juan. Pablo has helped us a lot. If I still ask him to help with this too, I’ll only lose face. By helping us with this problem, Dragger will risk getting their hands dirty.”

Derric’s answer was met by a low nod from Juan. It didn’t occur in his mind before.

“Besides, have you found out where the headquarters of the two groups are?” Derric asked.

Juan shook his head weakly. “No result till this second. But we are still looking for him.”

“As far as I know, all of Jita Kyoei’s core team members are studying at Jardin University. Shall we just intercept them in front of the campus and take them all to the main warehouse?” Derric added with his stupid idea.

“Don’t joke around, Derric. How could we just do it like that? Jita Kyoei’s core team is very strong. Plus, Jardin University contains strong men who belong to several gangster groups. It’s even said that Marcel Douglas from RJC is also studying there. Doing trouble around the campus is the same as humiliating all the students. They will only gang up on us.” Juan answered.

“Well.. That has a point.” Derric nodded.

“At that time, it was Black who attacked our logistics car. But when the relief team came there, they only found Calvin Lee. Even so, all of our relief team men were defeated by that Lonely Hero.” Juan said with a slight mumble.

“He’s not a Lonely Hero anymore, Juan. Calvin Lee has joined Jita Kyoei. He’s just showing off his strength by knocking out all of our men alone, showing us that he’s that strong.” Derric said.

But Juan shook his head. “That’s not what I’m concerned about, Derric.” His brow furrowed. “Since that day, Black has completely disappeared. Jita Kyoei, who has always been on the streets from the start, has become their substitute in thwarting all our street work. I have a feeling that both groups are planning something big. ”

“What are they planning?” Derric muttered thoughtfully.

“Should we send all the members to the main warehouse?” Juan asked.

Derric raised his eyebrows. “But if that’s the case, then our base will be unguarded.”

“All of our real treasure: the workers, is in the main warehouse. Besides, I’m sure that no one knows the location of our base. I’m confident that I’ve hidden it very well.” Juan answered.

Derric sighed. “Well, if you’re that sure. Pablo asked me to come down to Jen Marrie Street tomorrow. He said he was going to talk about something important. I hope he doesn’t rush for additional women. I’m planning to bring RD. Can you replace him guarding the main warehouse?”

“I can,” Juan answered.

“Remember, girls. The chin and jaw are the weak points of a human being. If someone gets hit hard there, then that person will lose consciousness. So, the chin and its surroundings are the points you should aim for in this battle.

This isn’t a show. You don’t need to compete to show how many techniques you have mastered. As much as possible, take down an enemy in one hit.” Emma said.

The girl in a black jacket and long baggy pants was standing in front of dozens of her group members who were wearing the same clothes. War was right before their eyes. This was Emma’s speech to give strength to her comrades in arms.

Emma knew that this was the first war for all of her members. All this time, the girls had only been honed through various exercises. They had never once faced a fight head-on, either in groups or individually.

They were all girls of various backgrounds, except for fighters. Because of that, Emma felt a little worried. However, she had made up her mind to believe all her members, that they were strong enough to make this mission a success.

“So far, many men have thought of women as weak creatures; especially the Beast Empire who used women as their cash cows. Today, we’ll show them that the creatures they always thought were weak, will actually break their legs.

I understand that our identity as women is hidden behind a mask. But I’m sure you all feel the same way I do. We don’t do this to seek fame or look cool. Instead, we want to prove to ourselves that women are not weak.

Women can be as strong as men. We are not under anyone’s feet. We are able to stand on our own feet, and even able to help many people. We are the women who will change this city.” Emma said.

“YES, WE ARE!” The girls shouted.

The girl with both light brown eyes smiled in satisfaction. Then, she got down from the plastic chair that became her foothold while she was burning the spirit of her group. After the speech, all girls went to their respective posts.

“Jita Kyoei has started to move,” Rachel walked over to Emma and walked beside her.

Kathy walked along beside Emma. ??”Jita Kyoei is divided into four teams. Ian is leading the team that will attack warehouse number one and Troy is attacking warehouse number two. Calvin Lee will guard around the main warehouse. Nicko is staying at the base to be the liaison operator. He will keep in touch with me.”

Emma nodded in understanding. “I see.”

“I’ll get back to my post. Good luck, Emma. Take care.” Kathy said, giving her a short hug.

Emma smiled as she returned the hug of the girl who had her red hair tied up in a bun. “Thanks, Kathy. We’re counting on you.”

Then Kathy left Emma and Rachel, to return to her computer with her two juniors.

Emma and Rachel continued to walk to the basement which was used as a garage to park the vehicles of all the Black Swan members.

The inside of the large room with cement floors and all the walls painted pure white, looked very bright with a row of white lights on the ceiling. The room looked like a motorcycle and car showroom. It was very crowded there.

The two girls in all black approached a petite girl who looked busy with a blackboard clamping a few sheets of paper containing a list of what to prepare for the ongoing mission.

“Hi, Poppy,” Emma greeted her.

“Oh.. hi, girls,” Poppy smiled at her friends.

“How is everything?” Emma asked.

“All members have their ride prepared. Weapons and communication devices are also evenly distributed. All ready to go.”

Emma nodded with a warm smile. “Thanks, Poppy. This would all be a real mess if you didn’t manage,”

Poppy shook her head. “I was able to do this because Vivian was there to help and the girls were very cooperative. It’s nothing, Emma.”

“This is a big thing, Poppy. One day you’ll realize it.” Emma winked.

Poppy sighed. “I’m worried about you, Emma. If things get too out of hand, you probably shouldn’t push yourself.”

“I know, Poppy. Thanks for worrying about us. But believe me, we can do it. All our girls are strong.” Emma answered.

Naturally, Poppy was worried about all her friends. She was like a mother who sent her children to the battlefield. She didn’t know what would happen to them and could only prepare them as best as possible and pray for them from a far place.

“We’re already in front of the warehouse,” Ian said while pressing the small button connected to the earphones plugged into his ears.

On the other line, Troy nodded. “We’ll be at the second warehouse in five minutes. You go first.”

“Ok,” Ian replied. Then, he looked back at the twenty men who had followed him. “Attack now,”

The group of men quickly circled a two-story house in a deserted slum housing area that had many abandoned, dilapidated houses.

Ian stood in front of the main door of the house, while Martin stood at the backyard door. Although not connected to any tools, the two men had the same instinct to kick the doorknob in front of them at the same time.

The strong kick of the two men and the condition of the low-quality wooden door were the right combination to make the two doors damaged so that they could be opened with just one more kick.

The sudden arrival of Jita Kyoei made all the Beast Empire men in the ugly house shocked to death.

Without further ado, Ian and Martin immediately led all their men to knock down all the Beast Empire men in the house.

They broke into every room of the house, checking for any dungeons or other secret rooms. They didn’t care if this was a fair fight or not, because the Beast Empire’s men in there weren’t prepared for the attack at all.

To Ian, this was not a fight, but a raid. They were doing a job that should be done by the police who didn’t do it because they had received a big bribe.

Inside the house, six captives were locked up in two bedrooms. They were four regular girls and two elderly homeless. Quickly, Ian ordered several of his men to secure the captives out of the cursed house.

Tobias Ian had been wandering in the dark world of Handway City for years. He was a man who didn’t only know how to fight. During his life, Ian took the things he saw and heard as lessons and knowledge.
