Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 345 - Mine Tech. Industries

Meanwhile.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Straight punch from the right, then a knee towards his face, followed by a left hook.

Each swing contained a lot of power that could knock any a.d.u.l.t man, but Michael just tilted his head to the left, then brought his palms together below his chin, and then he quickly jumped backward, dodging and blocking every attack like it was nothing at all.

"You done?" said Michael while sending a sharp glare towards the woman sitting behind a desk with tattooed arms, and on both of her sides are two men wearing white masks.

Not only was she feeling frustrated that she couldn't land one of her attacks. Now, her opponent is deliberately ignoring her, which made Daphne feel humiliated, especially so in front of her boss, and so she yelled in anger as she once again swung her fist towards him, "How dare you ignore me!?"

"Hmmph!"

Michael snorted in annoyance as he slapped her fist away, and kicked her calf, and because of that, Daphne's body tilted to the side as she started falling down.

"Sleep"

"Wha-offt!"

Michael's cold voice rang in her ears before she felt a tremendous force slamming on her abdomen which slammed her body hard on the floor.

Bam!

The force behind Michael's punch was so powerful that the only thing Daphne could hear was the ringing noise inside her head when her head bumped on the floor, then she fell unconscious, frothing in her mouth.

Michael looked at the unconscious woman on the floor before his feet and muttered, "She's not dead, is she?"

"Nope"

Then Daphne twitched, showing that she's still alive.

"Did you enjoy the show, or do you also want me to beat up those two goons at your side?" said Michael at the woman who had just been smiling until now.

After all, Michael didn't even understand what was happening earlier when they entered this small hall when Daphne suddenly attacked him from out of nowhere.

When Michael said those words, the two men beside the woman quickly placed their hands on the machete strapped around their waist and were about to step forward and confront Michael.

But then the woman behind the desk raised her hand, which forced them to stop and return to their post.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The woman stared at Michael as her smile slowly widened as she started clapping.

"Wonderful! It seems the rumor is true that a dangerous guy had joined the game, and you have even easily beaten Daphne who has the same rank as you, a Two Blades"

"But aren't you a bit too heavy-handed on her? Such a non-gentlemanly thing to do"

The woman called Nes stood up from her seat and walked around her table and before Michael, with her two goons standing just behind her.

"Hmmph!"

Michael scoffed and said, "Sorry, but I've never been a gentleman towards violent girls"

Then continued, "But I didn't come here looking for trouble as you already know that my purpose of coming here is to get the information on my targets, but if you insist on being troublesome, then I don't mind loosening up my muscles"

When he said, he started cracking his neck from side to side while cracking his knuckles.

Nes just smiled at his audacity, but Michael had clearly noticed the flash of cold glint in her eyes.

"How impudent!"

The goon on the left finally had enough of Michael's arrogance and charged towards him!

Michael was thoroughly annoyed now because they kept delaying his matters and kept causing trouble, so he also charged over and faced the goon head-on as he just tilted his head to the side to dodge the incoming attack before he skillfully turned his body around and appeared behind the goon.

And then Michael wrapped his arms around the man's waist, lifted him up, and slammed him hard on the ground!

Bang!

"Ack!"

The goon groaned in pain while Michael's movement was slippery as an eel as he quickly rolled to the side and jumped backward to create some distance.

As he eyed Nes and her remaining goon while warily observing his surroundings in case of a sneak attack.

"Tsk!"

Nes clicked her tongue with dissatisfaction when she looked at the goon lying on the floor, groaning in pain.

"Stop" she immediately said when she noticed that her other guard was about to step forward and fight Michael.

"Give our honored guest what he wants"

"Yes madam" said the other goon with a bow before he turned around and walked over towards the table and picked up a folder and walked back towards the two.

The goon handed the folder to Michael, and the latter took it rudely from him with an annoyed look on his face.

Michael opened the folder and saw the information of his targets and a few photos of them hanging out with a lot of women with their arms around them while kissing them.

"And the news mentioned that they are gay men, but these photos don't look like gay to me" he snickered in disdain as he looked at the photos one by one, his eyes filled with disgust.

"James Cruz, son of a mayor"

"Thorin Asuncion, son of a mogul"

"Jhin Acob, son of a police chief"

"Haa! So that's why they are trying to cover it up like that, it's because they are afraid that it might involve those people of authority, how f*cking disgusting!"

Michael couldn't help but laugh in disdain as he read the information of the eleven people related to the r.a.p.e slaying of the poor woman. He especially hates the fact that these people are getting away from their crimes because of their influential parents.

Nes looked at him and said, "You're weird, no one would accept such a troublesome job with such low payment"

Michael stopped what he was doing and looked up as he stared at her, "I just don't like people like them, and besides, I also consider coming here as vacation"

Nes scoffed and didn't pursue the matter anymore, "You have gold bullions, right?"

"Of course. Now, show me your toys" said Michael with a smile as he folded the folder and placed it inside one of his coat's inner pockets.

"Lead him to the armory" Nes looked at her guard and said.

"Yes madam" said the man while giving a slight bow.

"Ohh, don't forget to get someone to take care of the two" said Nes after she had just turned around, because she had almost completely forgotten about the two unconscious people on the floor.

The man gave a nod before gesturing for Michael to follow him.

Michael gave Nes a glance before turning around and followed the man outside of the room.

While standing in front of her desk, Nes picked up something and looked at it.

"That Zero...he really brought in someone dangerous into his fold, you f*cking bastard"

Nes gritted her teeth in annoyance as she threw the thing on her hand to her desk and turned around, and left the small hall.

"Haa...it seems I need to have a long talk with Zero"

On the desk, there was a photo of two people showing their backs from whoever took the photo.

But there's one thing that would truly catch someone else's eye on the photo, and that is the words written on the background of the two people.
