Chapter 1204: "Death Squad"
Before Rin even began to say anything, I suddenly noticed four presences by the catwalk, on each end of our houses inside the compound, and a dozen or so feet behind Ella. I didn’t know whether this was one of the problems Rin was talking about but this was a problem to me.
In addition, these fucks could’ve at least tried to blend in with my crowd of people—even though I’d still notice them—but no, all four of them were sticking out like sore fucking thumbs and I quickly went for my metaphorical hammer.
‘Where’s the fifth one? Fuck it, he’ll show up if I do this—’
After quickly putting down Zeus on the ground, I suddenly grabbed on Ella’s cute little head by the ears—like I would hold a basketball—as I lifted her up much to everyone’s shock.
“Wha— WHA— WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Ella screamed as she grabbed on my arms and squiggled in place.
I stared her dead in the eyes, “Make them stand down and chill.”
“W-What?! What are you talking about— CARRY ME LIKE A PRINCESS OR PUT ME DOWN!”
I went back to calling her the first nickname I gave her and then some, “You horny fucking brat—”
“LET GO OF THE ADMIRAL’S DAUGHTER—”
And right as I was about to spin her around, the closest one to Ella bridged the gap between us in seconds.
I chuckled, “Chill, chill~”
“I SAID—”
But right as he put his hand on my shoulder, I slowly put Ella down with a smile before I grabbed this dude’s arm and threw him overhead.
This dumbass didn’t know what was coming to him—much like everybody else from the sudden judo throw, but no one fucking postures up in my neck of the woods without my say-so, or even if they were just doing their job.
Even the Admiral would look down if the barber said so and it’s my place, my rules—and their actions were definitely making everyone else in my compound uneasy and uncomfortable.
Moreso, if their actions continued as is and if someone other than me even got close to Ella, it’d just isolate her from everyone else and it was one of the reasons she didn’t have any friends in the Eisenhower aside from her attendants, Jennifer included.
Then the dudette from the catwalk eventually reached us:
“Whoa! Hold on, now! We just received strict orders to keep the Admiral’s—”
I cut her off, “You also received strict orders to do what I said so! I told him to chill and he gave me lip— and I’m just messing around with Ella, who’s my friend, what do you say to that?” fгeewebnovёl.com
“That’s—”
Looking at these two, they were still wearing full combat gear even if they’d arrived here way~ before noon, and honestly, I was thinking this five-man group to protect Ella wasn’t the best and brightest. They do look capable of killing dregs, sure—like the two others who had just come down from the roofs of our houses—but I guess we’ll see after this one.
I gave the dude who touched me a hand up but he just stood on his own while glaring at me. And as he patted himself off the dirt and dust that dirtied his clothes, he let out a huge huff as he shouted at me but from a safe distance.
“THE ADMIRAL’S DAUGHTER’S SAFETY PRECEDES—”
I rolled my eyes, “Blah, blah, blah~ Hold up, your name’s Brownie?!”
“WHA— WHAT ABOUT IT?! YOU CLEARLY ASSAULTED THE ADMIRAL’S—”
I cut him off again, “Ella. If you can’t do that, Michaella. AT least know the name of the person you’re supposed to take care of—”
He looked so flabbergasted, “WHAT ARE YOU—”
I turned to the dudette surnamed Lee who tried to diffuse the situation earlier, “Can I still return this fuck to the Marine Base? You know, exchange him with a person, even a civ with at least a normal modifier for their intelligence stat?”
“THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY— ACK!”
All of a sudden, Jennifer went ahead and ran over this dude with her Doom Buggy—without killing him, of course—and yeah, she looked as pissed as everyone else from this group doing this to me but they all knew I could handle myself just fine. They were just waiting for the face-slapping to occur later.
But Oscar’s voice resounded right as Jennifer tried to anchor the conversation around her:
“I told ya, let the kid handle it, alright?”
“Ugh… It’s just so annoying—”
I cut them off, “Break a leg, at least!”
Jennifer cackled, “You want me to?! I will, lil bro, I will!”
Lee tried to get between us as she tried to help Brownie up, “I— I do apologize for our actions and we may have gone overboard but we are actually under strict orders for the Admiral’s— I mean for Ella to not come to any harm. We’re just doing our jobs.”
I shook my head, “Aren’t you harming her indirectly by isolating her from everybody else?”
“I-Isolating?”
“You fucking idiots, she may look like a child but she’s not.” Enjoy more content from
Ella tried to cut in, “W-What was that for?!”
“Let me finish, I was expecting her to be in a circle of friends by now but everyone around her age is afraid to approach her because you fucks are hovering worse than a drone with several alarm clocks taped on it. Aren’t you supposed to be covert in doing this type of shit? She’s been here for half a day and the only one she came up to meet with us is my dog, Zeus!”
“Woof!”
“Hear that? He also knows what you’re doing is fucking bullshit.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Anyway, where’s your fifth guy? I only sensed you, you, you, and you, ” I said as I pointed at Lee, Brownie, Hooper, and Tennyson from the crowd around us.
Lee answered, “He’s guarding the Chinook… sir.”
I’ve never been so confused, “What for?”
Brownie rolled his eyes, “For a quick escape, of course!”
“From what?! If anything, shouldn’t you be commandeering the chopper on my house instead?! It’s closer—”
The dumbass agreed just like that, “That’s actually a good idea—”
I already lost my shit, “NO, THE FUCK IT’S NOT! IT’S DUMB!”
“YOU’RE THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED IT!”
“IT WAS SARCASM, BROWNIE! CAN’T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND THAT?!”
“YOU FOUR COME TO MY GYM ON THE THIRD FLOOR AND BRING YOUR FIFTH GUY WITH YOU!”
“W-What are you gonna do?” Lee asked.
I rolled my eyes, “You fucks answer to me, you either follow it or I’ll ship you back to Bartow and Davis, do you understand that?”
