Alexis Black dove Cad’s fighter toward the cryo-freezing factory building, like an eagle soaring after its prey. Bullets pinged off the hull from the Forsaken thugs, mercenary groups, and even CSF Enforcer squads, who all fired on the ship as it dropped down on them out of the blue. Ordinarily, this would have irked Cad, but his meddling was the reason they were all panicking to the point where no one on the ground could distinguish friend from foe. Cad’s plan had worked perfectly. Thanks to Falken’s false information, the Forsaken thugs and mercenaries had all been funneled into the same location and forced into a desperate fight for survival. Whatever plans any of the various groups had were all shot to hell, like their bodies were about to be. Cad grunted in appreciation of his own work. It was like a masterful game of chess, where he had been playing both sides.

Alexis dropped the fighter onto the roof of the factory building and Cad jumped down, carrying a sniper rifle loaded with precision-guided rounds. A regular assault rifle was attached to a magnetic stow on his back, while his reforged Black Prince sword rested in its sheath. However, Cad had no intention of allowing the weapon to remain there for long. Marching to the edge of the rooftop, Cad was met with a volley of incoming small-arms fire. Some of the bullets skipped off his armor, while most thudded harmlessly into the wall or zipped past him into the clear sky.

He then fired five shots in quick succession, each bullet guiding itself on target. A second later, the thugs all lay dead, each one shot in the head, right between the eyes.

Cad’s head was then snapped back, as if he’d just been caught with a fast jab. Running his fingers across his helmet, he felt the dent from the bullet that had struck him. He growled, more from annoyance than from any pain the hit had caused him, then scanned his surroundings, looking for the culprit. A group of private military contractors had managed to retreat from the main battle and were moving toward the factory building. Cad assumed they must have worked out his plan and were now desperately trying to get back in on the action. In addition to the standard contracted rate, the mercenary group that personally took down the Forsaken pilots would net a tidy bonus. It was pocket change to Cad, but for some of the rag-tag mercenary companies, it represented a significant payday.

Zooming in on the group using his visor, Cad saw that one of the mercenaries was carrying a scoped sniper rifle. The man moved behind cover and crouched, preparing to take another shot at Cad. He stepped aside at the last moment and the bullet sailed wide. Cad hadn’t
