What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Before the spear could hit the ground, I kicked at the centre of the pole and launched it flying towards the thug with the chain, the pole smacking her across the face and sending her stumbling back.

The thug with the metal rod tried to close the distance again but I was ready for him.

My shotgun barrel was pointed in his direction and I squeezed the trigger, watching in satisfaction as the buckshot pellets blew open his chest and sent him skidding back a few feet.

The thug with the chain only just managed to shake off the impact of the pole before looking up to see me holding my pistol to point at her, nailing her between the eyes.

Two of the thugs that I had shot in the abdomen with my pistol got up on unsteady feet, their eyes glaring at me before their arms opened up to let blades slide out from their lower arm.

Oh? They’re able to use their cyware mods despite the EMP blast just now? I’m guessing the blast was targeted to only affect people in a specific direction so they were unaffected.

They rushed towards me, one of them leaping at me from above while the other trying to charge at me from below.

The only problem with that plan was... I have two guns.

I pointed both guns at a target each and fired my shotgun once while I squeezed the trigger on my pistol thrice.

Both thugs fell heavily onto the ground before they even reached me, their bodies twitching once before going still.

There were four remaining thugs who had not attacked me but had also not ran off yet. These were either the smartest of the bunch or the most cowardly of them.

I made a show of slotting two more shotgun shells into my shotgun while facing them before letting my guns rest by my side, both of their barrels pointed at the ground.

One of them was smart enough to turn around and start running, leaving his comrades behind and choosing to live instead.

The other three...

Two of them decided that the fact my guns were lowered meant they had a chance so they rushed towards me, the broken metal pieces in their hands raised threateningly as they charged.

I chose not to shoot them right away as I waited for them to get close before dodging their overhead swings by stepping to the side.

One of the thugs was too eager as she immediately tried to take another swing at me before her comrade could get out of the way and ended up smacking her under her chin.

The woman fell onto the ground while screaming out in pain at her dislocated jaw, the other female thug looking down at her friend she just smacked in open-mouth shock.

I did not wait for them to recover, since I’ve already given them a chance to leave.

I pointed my shotgun first at the woman who was still standing to blast open her chest, then shifted my aim down to the woman with the dislocated jaw to blast her head open.

I then turned to look at the last remaining female thug who was still standing there, clutching her wooden bat like it was her lifeline.

I tilted my head at her while cocking an eyebrow, as if asking her silently if she wanted to get shot as well.

She seemed to understand the mercy I was giving her as she quickly dropped her weapon and ran off as well.

If those two go off to find more thugs to come after me... That just means more loot for me, honestly.

The alley that was filled with the sounds of gunshots suddenly became silent and I went over to retrieve the magazine that I dropped earlier and reloaded my pistol and shotgun to make sure they had full ammo stored.

By now, the other Mercs that had been disabled by the EMP blast earlier had recovered, most of them groaning in pain as their cyware mods rebooted themselves.

I went ahead to grab the leader of the thugs and one of the guys with the sword arms to start dragging them out of the alley.

”The rest is yours,” I told the Mercs, letting them take some of the spoils to keep them quiet.

They don’t move to loot their bodies yet, opting to wait for me to leave first.

That worked for me since the moment I walked out of sight, I let Renata consume them as two tentacles snaked out from my arms to wrap around them, allowing her to pull them in and absorb them into her body.

This city really is quite unsafe, huh?

I hope the station’s security forces don’t come and stop to interrogate me again...

At least I can claim self defence for this.
