Fantasy Assassin In A Modern World Chapter 38
Advertisement
Loki decided to follow Harada Kenji first to know the location of his office, but he didn't plan to kill him for now. The priority at the moment was to free those that have been kidnapped.
Once Harada Kenji entered a room, Loki no longer followed and started to search the rooms that were near this area. After looking around for a while, Loki clicked his tongue.
'This place is bigger than I initially thought, and the layout is rather confusing. If I continue just going around blindly I might be moving around for hours... Tsk, I guess I have no choice I better capture one of those henchmen. If only I had enough mana to use the [soul search] spell. That would make things so much easier. This feels like I've gone back to the day of my very first mission. I was such a novice back then... Wait what's with me, this is no time for nostalgia.'
Loki shook his head and started looking around the base waiting for one of the henchmen to separate from their group. It didn't take too long as one of them needed to pee and headed to the nearest restroom. The moment that person entered the restroom, Loki quickly knocked him out.
...
The person that Loki captured was waking up, and the first thing he noticed upon waking was that he could not move his body. It was as if there were something invisible restraining him. He could feel that there was something wrapped around his fingers, arms, neck, and his legs. Not only that but he was also gagged and could not speak.
He then noticed someone approach him from within the darkened part of the room. Once the person approached the light, the henchman immediately knew who it was. This person was the one who was getting famous online, the assassin Fade.

"I'll get straight to the point. I'm going to ask you a question and all you need to do is nod your head if the answer is yes, and shake your head if the answer is no. So do you know where the kidnapped children are?"
The henchmen didn't answer, as he neither shook nor nodded his head. Seeing that reaction made Loki sigh. Loki then wiggled his finger and in the next second one of the henchman's fingers was cut off.
The henchman felt intense pain as he saw his finger flying off and his blood spilling out. He could not help but scream in pain.
"So are you willing to tell me what I want now?"
The henchman quickly nodded his head as tears fell from his face. Loki then removed the gag on the henchman's mouth.
"The moment you start screaming for help is the moment your head flies off. If you tell me what I want properly, I promise you will survive this." This was simply a bluff, as the truth was Loki would never kill this person, as he was not one of the targets of this mission. Still, Loki could hurt him without killing him.
"I'll tell you everything you want to know, please just don't kill me."
...
Harada Kenji was in his office rewatching the video about Fade and how he easily dealt with his men.
'To fight a martial artist I would need bigger guns, or I could hire a martial artist to deal with him. The first option would take some time, while the second will cost me a lot.'
Kenji started tapping his desk with his fingers as he continued to think of what his next step was going to be. Even now the opponent he was facing was an unknown. On the other hand, his opponent seemingly knows everything about him. As he was focusing his phone suddenly rang. Kenji saw that it was the Police Commissioner.

"What do you want?"
"You b*stard! How dare you sell me out! If I fall I'm bringing you with me!"
"What the F*ck are you talking about?"
"Just you wait, we'll both go down and your fall will be worse than mine!" The Police Commissioner hanged up not waiting for Kenji to reply.
"What was that about? Hey Mike, come in I need you for something." After a few seconds of waiting, no one answered.
"Hey Mike, do you hear me, I said come in here!" This time someone entered the room but it wasn't Mike.
"I'm sorry to say Mike won't be coming."
Kenji was able to react rather quickly and pulled out his gun and pointed it at Loki, but in the next instant, his gun flew out of his hands. It was the same thing that happened in the video that was posted on the internet.
"Who are you?"
"Surely you already know who I am."
"... What do you want from me?"
"Why do you keep on asking the obvious questions? I'm an assassin you're the target. What do you think I want from you?"
"How about I pay double the amount your employer paid you? Will you let me go then?"
"I'm sorry to say, but the payment I asked for isn't something you can give."
Kenji gnashed his teeth as he continued to think of a way out of this. Yet no matter how hard he thought there didn't seem to be a way out. After a few seconds of silence Kenji started laughing, while Loki silently watched him.
"Hahaha, so this is how it ends. All my struggles, everything I built will end today. Then since I'm going to die anyway, tell me Fade who was it that hired you?"
"I guess I could tell you that. The one who hired me is someone you know well, it was Niel the private investigator."
"Niel?... That doesn't make sense, does that mean you're not connected to what happened to my son?"
"No, I was the one who did that to your son... To tell you the truth, I didn't even know about you and your family before a few days ago. Let me tell you the real reason as to why you're going to die today. It's because your son was about to touch someone he shouldn't have."
"Can you tell me who that is?"
"Fine, but this is the last question I will answer. After you hear it, those words will be the last thing you ever hear."
"So be it."
"That person was my sister."
Harada Kenji couldn't even express his shock as his head was cleanly cut off from his body. As his head was falling to the ground, he still retained a bit of his consciousness as he saw his body hitting the ground, headless. The last thoughts he had as he was about to die were.
'Why did I have such a worthless son.'

8 165The Immortal Epic
After all that happened... I do think I would thank dr Errhart if I were back to the day this all started, knowing all that happened after. Of course, if I were back on the day this all started with the implied knowledge, I would take and play with his soul in retribution. Oh, how have I grown since then. I'm almost nostalgic. Almost. To tell you the truth, I don't really remember the first days. Yes, I remember me working at the facility, with all the downs and downs but after the experiment, those first days afterwards, I can't bring for the life of me those moments in the cold dark broken room to mind. I never did discover what happened during the experiment. What could occur to burn the whole facility to a crisp and shut down both the main and emergency power supply? Dr Errhart always seemed to fail in impossible ways. When I got out of that underground tomb, I discovered what the experiment did to the world. Beast and monsters feed on the unprotected if left to fester, powerful men from the remnants of my old world have risen up to take their own and might takes up new forms. Oh, and here you must be perplexed. I totally forgot to tell. While the experiment doomed many in the facility and the world above, which wouldn't have happened had they not ignored my notes on the project, I feel like it was all worth it. For at the cost of the precious but secret arcanium, we got our greatest tool yet. Magic.
