Chapter 129: A Hot-Headed Hunter

Akira was about to leave the house to go retrieve the information he’d been promised about the pickpocket. He’d been shocked to see the address Carol had sent him, but after getting what he’d wanted despite ruining the meeting with Tomejima, complaining hadn’t felt right to him. So he’d kept his mouth shut.

But considering the destination, he was coming fully armed just in case. He wore his powered suit and was carrying his two assault rifles, and his pack of spare ammo was stowed in his desert vehicle. Just before leaving the garage, however, he got a call from Sheryl.

“Hey, Sheryl. What’s up? If you’re wanting me to stop by, sorry. I’m busy at the moment.”

“Oh, is that so? W-Well, I was thinking about going to Shijima’s to negotiate with him about the relic shop and was wondering if you could come with me. But if you’re busy, perhaps another time.”

Sheryl and her gang had been at odds with Shijima’s gang, but afterward they’d formed something of a partnership. And when Akira had crushed Yazan’s gang and Sheryl had then sold Yazan’s former territory to Shijima, this relationship had become stronger.

Sheryl’s gang had grown considerably since its founding, but they still lacked the power and influence to manage a relic shop on their own. Perhaps if Akira had lived at the base with them, things would have been different, but Sheryl knew that would never happen. So she planned to ask Shijima for help instead.

Since her gang still lacked influence in the slums, Shijima would definitely scoff at her if she just went up and asked on her own. But if Akira was with her, the gang lord would surely change his tune. Akira wouldn’t even need to say anything—his presence alone would be intimidating enough.

But if Akira was busy, then there was no helping it—she’d have to wait for another time. She was about to hang up when Akira said something unexpected.

“Oh, if that’s the case, then yeah, I’ll come with. I’ve got business with him myself. I’ll come pick you up.”

“R-Really? Thank you! But wait, you have business with him?”

“Yeah, so it seems.”

Carol’s message, after all, had told him to head to Shijima’s base.

Shijima was on the phone, looking furious. “Viola! What the hell do you mean, ‘Akira knows about the plan’?! What the hell happened?!”

“Jeez, you’re too loud. Is that any way to treat someone who thought enough of you to warn you beforehand?”

Viola’s jocular tone infuriated Shijima even more. But gradually his anger gave way to fear. “Bullshit! I thought I put a stop to all that a while back! Why is it coming back to bite me now all of a sudden?”

“I know you’re thinking you didn’t directly order anything, that you just spread a few rumors. But even if you stop spreading things through the grapevine yourself, word can still get around.”

“Okay, but how did Akira find out I was behind it? Wait—you told him, didn’t you?!”

“So close. More accurately, I’m about to tell him.
