Chapter 9 – Suppression

The sun had already set as both Kazuki and Shiroyuki made their way through the streets towards the main base of the Dragon Palace gang.

The pair had been eliminating the hideouts of the gangs before deciding to target the location where the boss of the gang was located. They had gone through several of the gang’s facilities including warehouses, safehouses and businesses owned by the gang.

The information they had received from the lackeys and the chief of the gang had been useful for them as it helped them crush the assets of the gang.

Kazuki had contacted an acquaintance he had within the police department to notify them of his clean-up and had asked them to stall any intervention of the police until he had finished. The acquaintance of Kazuki was the vice-captain of the Asok City Police Department, Erika West.

They had been acquainted for a long time and had a mutual relationship. Kazuki had the power to eliminate high-levelled targets that the police were unable to, while Erika could help cover the tracks of Kazuki.

The actions of Erika seem morally wrong as a representative of the law, however she believed that the law had its flaws and breaking and bending the rules here and there to get rid of someone who deserved to be erased was not a bad choice.

The police had been attempting to suppress the gangs within the city when they had popped up a few years ago and caused problems to the citizens. They could arrest and prosecute members of these gangs but were unable to hit the source and eliminate the roots of the problem.

In the city there were officials and most likely members of the law who were corrupt and supported these gangs behind closed doors, but without the evidence how could she prosecute someone? The corruption within Asok City was buried deep and it wouldn’t be a surprise if high-levelled officials were involved within it.

Erika didn’t agree with Kazuki’s idea of eliminating the entire gang when he had contacted her, however getting rid of this problem would benefit the people of the city and take a huge weight off her chest.

Although she wasn’t didn’t have the highest authority within the police department she still held command over the lower ranked officers when the captain wasn’t around. This allowed her to stall the officers from getting in the way of Kazuki when he was eliminating the gang.

(POV) Kazuki [Third Person]

The pair had eliminated over 30 of the gang’s properties and had seen some of the business the gang took part in. They had infiltrated several warehouses containing caged people, mainly women, who had been kidnapped by the gang. The kidnapping of people was knowing by most people in the city but seeing it was unpleasant.

They had gained information from the lackey who oversaw the operation, he told them that the people were sold off as slaves in underground auctions, Kazuki already knew about these types of events that occurred in the underground and found them unpleasant, but he didn’t have hero syndrome so he ignored this type of thing.

They decided to liberate the captured victims and annihilate the members of the gang overseeing the operation, although he had no plans on becoming a hero he wasn’t cruel and if he came across a situation like this it wouldn’t hurt him to help them out.

When the victims had left he decided to use magic on the bodies of the deceased gang members. This spell was an advanced Dark Magic spell which would release a dark miasma to target the bodies, this was a spell developed for situations when Kazuki needed to clean up, mainly bodies.

The miasma was highly poisonous and dangerous, as soon as it touched the bodies the clothes and flesh of the deceased vanished. Even if the police investigated these hideouts they would find no evidence of bodies with this type of magic as it eliminated anything it touched including blood.

He had activated this spell in his on the bodies of the previous gang members, in the street and the alleyway. The magic was activated once the people had left the scene so that he could hide the existence of his supernatural abilities.

In the fight in the alleyway and street he had exposed his physical capabilities to people familiar with him, this didn’t bother Kazuki as he could pass it off as martial arts his own strength despite how peculiar they appeared to be.

The people around him saw him as aloof and lazy, even if they had seen him having high physical capabilities this wouldn’t affect his life much, only changing the way people viewed him, and Kazuki never minded how people viewed him.

“As always that ability of yours really is amazing, even a forensics team couldn’t find any traces”

As his ability cleared away Shiroyuki let out praise towards the dark magic, she was familiar with Alex’s abilities as they had spent time together in the past, they were both familiar with the abilities they had, they had fought many times in the time they spent together, Shiroyuki knew about the abilities Kazuki possessed.

“Sure, but your abilities are also quite amazing”

“Hmm I guess so”

The youth responded with a casual tone and directed a compliment towards her.

The pair left the warehouse and continued onto the final location to where they would meet this big boss, by now the pair had grown tired and Kazuki wanted to finish this and go home, although it was still quite early in the evening he is getting sick of going from building to building eliminating the goons of the gang.

They had wrecked a total of 31 safehouses, 17 warehouses and 27 businesses under control of the Dragon Palace, and this had been done in less than half a day. Although they were quick it was extremely tiring rushing around the district and elimination one location after another, but they had gone through all the locations revealed to them by the lackeys.

They now headed towards the docks which was at the south of the district, this was the final location they needed to reach and the place the boss of the Dragon Palace was located.
