Chapter 121: Sacred Organs 9
A gasping for breath from Fumihiro's mouth as he ran restlessly throughout narrow lane of nearby streets.
"Whao."
When Fumihiro reached the into the main highroad, a stunning electric black car with light blue interior arrived in front of him.
Long time has passed since the planet was guzzling oil and burning up all our fossil fuels, upcoming age of modernisation, all type of transportation turned into the electrification or any renewable source for reduced the pollution into minimum levels.
"Y... You, Tomita Mitsumasa, The Spider or something?"
"Get in!"
"But."
"Get in I said. I'll drop you back to your safe house."
By Tomita's nonchalant invitation, Fumihiro get in, drive back to his Athenaeum hideout.
"Would you tell me what's your play? You are awfully generous."
"Hmm."
"What's the humming about?"
"Misaki promised me the location of my master Akagi Shinsuke, it would be childish to think he is dead."
"What makes you he is still alive, wait... who's is?"
"It's best for you to ignore her, she's my client."
While driving towards the Athenaeum base Fumihiro ask the Tomita's motives behind the rescue, however he was interrupted when he saw Asumi at the backseat, and Tomita told him to ignore.
Went back to the topic Tomita opened the car's AI monitor, the windshield turned blue operating system at passenger seat.
They stared the evening breaking news about Athenaeum's attack over the Supermarket inside the cockpit as Tomita informed Fumihiro.
"Heard the Athenaeum failed to accomplished the mission, Misaki knew there will major consequence, either way I informed your boss about the matter and bring you back in one piece."
"I am well aware of that, don't know what will happen next but... why Blackwatch media exaggerate everything, you know it's not a big deal."
"That's how propaganda works my friend. Blackwatch fully control over Green Zone and their media used the news, primarily to influence the civilians and further an agenda, can be objective, the national Internet and social media presenting facts selectively to encourage the particular synthesis or perceptions, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented, however they are rather confused for which side to pick since there is new players in this fucking game, claiming the lands, they called it hallowed games."
"Tck... Fucking bureaucrats."
"Yes, they are."
With a confused face, Fumihiro inquired Tomita when he found something at his face.
"Hey... Since when you got a new eye transplant? I remember you had a eyepatch of something?"
"It's a cybernetic eye. The revolution of Cybernation is upon us."
"Yeah....."
"By the way how's your sister? Is she joined your group as well? Haven't seen her in a while."
"FINE! Change the subject already."
After slight rebuke distraught Fumihiro look forward, after Tomita showed his cybernetic eye, glared beside at him while his original eye stayed at the road. Fumihiro demands to change the topic as Tomita nonchalantly dive into their violent-redden past which Fumihiro did not like to revisit.
While Fumihiro disappointed with the failure of his Job, moreover he is mostly pissed about the media of TYZ portrayed the opposition as vile animals.
Car stopped at certain lane within the Yellow Zone's downtown districts.
"Across the lane there is a brothel; the Pristol Club, in there you will find Sogen."
After Tomita's instruction Asumi nodded, get out of his car without saying a word.
"What. Why is your client want to go to a brothel?"
Fumihiro questioned Tomita, still confused with Asumi, a girl head towards the middle-class Brothel.
"Don't know her background."
Tomita nonchalantly answered Fumihiro's confused question.
"But she paid me a lot of cash to find the Helecter's remnant."
"The Helecters? Why someone wanted to find such violent extinct group?"
"I don't know, more so why should I care? She paid me so I tell her that Crimson Killer or Akira Sogen, he staying in the Pristol Club."
"Ugh... that shitty whorehouse, say they use human girls to entertain the audience."
"Yes, apparently unlike the Pink Wonderland, where the brothels often feature sex robots, programed to do anything the customer fancy, Yellow and Brown Zone still use the humans to do business."
Fumihiro asked casually with his suspicious eyes.
"Seem like you know a lot around those area."
"I'm a spider, it's my job to know everything. Anyway, let's go Boss's place, hope I can find my master's whereabouts."
With Tomita drive Fumihiro to the Athenaeum's hideout, he already informed Misaki about the Red-cross's betrayal.
Tomita Mitsumasa or The Spider is ridiculously good at what he does, whatever that happens to be, and everyone in his line of business knows it. People look up to him, envy him, and are in awe of him. He has a reputation for doing the impossible, and may be Shrouded in Myth, as people are unable to separate their real accomplishments from unfounded rumours. In a work revolving around a specific activity any kind of Serious Business, the Spider will be the best at it. Others refer to the Spider as "the best of the best" at this activity. In works lacking that sort of focus, because he spent his hunting other Mutants for sports in secret.
He probably be extremely polite, well-spoken but he is a complete asshole no doubt, ruthlessly murder his enemies who got out of the line, has no compunction about dealing death to those who either stand in his way or those of whom he has grown tired, either with his own hands or through subordinates though enjoys reading Literary Fiction literature, also read the classic Italian works of Lorenzo Valla, Francesco Vettori and Shakespeare as well as having a thorough knowledge of the Christian Bible, quiet talented indeed, at everything.
...
Meanwhile in Athenaeum's hideout, their Don A.K.A Antheia found sitting in an expensive leather chair with one hand idly tapping her at desk nervously after Tomita informed her everything.
Her thoughtfulness starts when Maou, the current leader of the Red-cross arrived in her hideout, claiming that Fumihiro is been killed.
Regardless Misaki knew everything, she pretends that she didn't aware of it, moreover she invited Maou to join the card game which Athenaeum's men were doing at that time.
Maou agreed, assured himself that his boss brought his lies.
"What's bothering you, Misaki sweetie?"
Seeing Misaki all gloomy like that, Ayana Hasumi, the Yellow Zone librarian asked Misaki. Grab a seat beside her desk.
"No nothing, just waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"Never mind, tell me what become of your library Miss Ayana? You used to UsNet terminal hacker in back."
Avoiding any question Misaki change the subject asking Ayana about the library.
"Oh, let me think..."
Ayana supported her chin with her hand and looked up at the ceiling like she was searching for something.
"After the Dark Friday Attack, Blackwatch Government cling the horizon of Bankruptcy, those time of a depression they lost a lot of money for the attack, thus they charge heavy taxes upon the civilians, however the civilians among criminals started printing money, downing the economy which was heavily rely on international trades. When Blackwatch discovered the money forgery when send the Spotter to the commercial districts soon enough my less legal business went into their raider, thanks to a Blackwatch's operative, I got time to pack my bags and destroyed the evidence before the raid. Anyhow after losing everything I came here in Athenaeum, leaving everything behind, TYZ is not for the 'Virtuous' woman to do trade here."
"I see."
Misaki said in a calm manner, pulled a handgun, and a bottle of whisky from the desk's compartment.
"Hey what's a gun for?"
"Nothing important Ayana-san, just clean up some garbage, you want a drink?"
"No thanks."
Despite Ayana, concern about Misaki's intention pulling out a gun and start loading, though she offered Ayana a drink, with her refusal Misaki open the bottle start drinking herself.
In past years Misaki became much cold, aloof and distant. Shrewd, ruthless, and better not be crossed. With Ayana refuse she drinking up the whisky and coldly gazing at her crew that concern Ayana a lot, her and few others who knew her in the past.
After Fumihiro arrival, really set Athenaeum's crew into motion as he angrily rebuked Maou like a growling dog.
"You bastard! You still here after you men had done you still have guts to come back here."
"What are you saying? I'm sure you are dead or the Phoenix member captured you, I already explained Lady Antheia everything."
"Bullshit! the whole thing is bullshit, you and your team betrayed me, left me to die, you fucking bastard!"
"Don't insult me loyalty Mr Kishino Fumihiro, as I said, don't know you still alive and also you are the one failed the mission thus don't blame me for everything, besides boss going to decide what happen next."
After Fumihiro snarled over Maou, spilling everything, Maou however still have much confidence to stay to his claim, rely on Misaki to defend him however that Maou's arrogance enraged Fumihiro, quarrelled fiercely, attracting every Athenaeum crew.
Despite the argument could become more aggressive Misaki nonchalantly lean back on her chair, gazing the two subordinates quarrelling over each other.
For Misaki ease up like that, Ayana begun to worry about who's Misaki going to kill since Fumihiro held the same responsibility and she won't tolerate any failures in her gang.
"Misaki... are you not going to stop them?"
Ayana murmured to Misaki in a worried tone.
"Yes."
Misaki stood up, shoved the magazine into the gun, pulled the pistol's slide and walked forward in a calm demeanour.
"Boss what nonsense Fumihiro bubbling, I have already told you what I know!"
"What!? You humans hunted by the Imperium Military Police and the armed military that's the only reason you came back scumbag."
"You shut up Fumi—"
