Assassination System: Vengeance

Chapter 6

"Find Seth Vonstein right now! Dead or alive!! Move it all!"

"Yes, sergeant! Move up! Move up! Find the target!"

Seth was surprised to hear his name called and squinted back from the window. A dozen of those creepy people were like a collection of heavyweight mercenaries.

[ I told you, but you didn't listen to me. ] The man spoke again, and Seth didn't realize that the cell phone was still online.

"Who are they?! What do they want from me?! Can't I talk well with them?!" Seth asked innocently.

[ You have to get rid of your naive thoughts! They're trained mercenaries from the ruthless organization The Codex. They will do anything to catch and kill you! They don't care how many victims fall if they get their purpose! No time to explain and think, Seth! You have to get out of there right now! You can still run! Move now! Follow my orders, and you'll be safe! ]

He heard the sound of an explosion brutally from downstairs made him confused and shocked for a moment.

[ Duuuuuuuummmmm! ]

The apartment shook, and all the other residents screamed hysterically. Heavy steps and the voices of the mercenaries are approaching.

"I don't know you, and you're a stranger!" Seth answered half doubtfully.

[ Trust me, Seth. Mine ordered to save you from every danger. They're almost at your door apartment! Go now!! Use the stairs on your balcony. Come on! We have to stay connected! I'll help you escape! ]

"Okay! I'm on my way!"

Seth picked up a wireless earphone that he plugged into his ear.

He hurriedly grabbed a bag to pack the laptop and some clothes only. Seth was glued to the computer and CPU. He could not leave it in one piece. A lot of critical documents are in there.

"Damn it! I don't have time!" Seth yelled in annoyance and panic.

Seth picks up a match on his shirt to set one of the clothes on fire and throws it at the computer and CPU device he painstakingly buys with half his salary. "I'm sorry! I'll make your program again later!"

[ Blaaaaaarrrrrr! ]

The computer exploded. The fire everywhere began to spread to the bed and the curtains. Seth walked away and sat down. He broke the window by throwing a chair.

[ Praaaaaanggggggg!!! ]

Although, it's hard to run with the whole wound.

Seth reaches the balcony when wild shots arrive and destroy the apartment door. The bullets of the heavyweight military long-barreled carbine rifle whizzed in his room.

Shoot and destroy everything brutally.

[Duuuuuuuarrarr! Duarrrrrrrrrr! ]

"Holy shit!!" Seth roared in fright and almost limped on the iron stairs. He's holding onto the line fast, and being involved in a shootout left him panicked and terrified. "Uggghhh!!! My ribs!! Not now! Not now!"

Seth stood up again, trying hard to get up. Behind him, he heard the door break. The mercenaries sounded furious.

"Where is he?!"

"Find him whatever it takes!!"

"He ran out of the window!"

Seth managed to get down and kicked the iron ladder until it came off its hinges.

[ Klontanggggg!!!! ]

The staircase collapses, and Seth smiles triumphantly as the soldier's none of choices. People are panicking in fear.

"He's gone, Sergeant!"

"Hurry and catch him! We can't lose him! Arresting Seth Vonstein is an official order! Deploy drones and land chases! Call The Rhinos!"

"Yes, Sergeant!"

Seth just sighed, another shot coming at him. Seth ran away as fast as he could. Dart among the crowd of citizens running in fear to save themselves.

Seth held onto miserable ribs and looked back. The soldier moved quickly and began to pursue him.

Helicopters passed over Seth's head, and the machine gun fired at his escape.

[ Duuuuuuuuuuurr! Duuuuuuuuurrrr! ]

Seth has never been involved in a shootout like this. He doesn't remember anything except saving his own life.

"Motherfucker! They're shooting at me!" Seth yelled furiously. He protects his head - he does not know being treated recently by whom.

In twenty - four hours, Seth's life changed drastically.

Seth grumbled. "Yeah, from losers to fugitives to mercenaries of Codex organizations. Fantastic for die-hard!"

Seth needed to learn what he was involved with.

He turned into a narrow alley, running in zigzags while the military helicopter chased him.

Seth kept running to save his life. "Hey, weird man! Help me out of here! I could die!!"

[I'm working out all the options, Seth. Listen to me carefully! Exit Mirfield Street. Right in front of Metro Bank. A Bugatti Veyron is parked there. Find and take it. ]

"What, Bugatti?!" Seth asked incredulously. "Are you sure?!"

More bullets are still coming. The helicopter chased into the city. This time it gets worse, and the drones join forces to incapacitate Seth.

"Oh, my God!! They want to kill me!!!" Seth cursed and ducked as dozens of bullets shot behind his back.

[ Black Bugatti Veyron. ]

"But I don't have the key!"

[ You don't have a key, Seth! The Bugatti integrated with my system. Find it! ] The command is absolute and indisputable.

"Okay! Do something to those helicopters and drones! The sky is open. I could die!"

[ Hold on! I'm sending a jet right at you. ]

"What did you say?!! Jet fighter plane?! How do we do that?!"

[ Relax, boy. You don't have to scream. Just do as I say. I'll take you to the safe house. We'll meet there. ]

"Yeah, that's a good choice and better than dying at their hands!" Seth responded with a hunting breath.

Besides, Seth had no choice but to obey the orders of this mysterious caller. He's not even sure.

The shelter - he said?

The residents were terrified to see the wild chase and shooting from above the sky. The helicopter and the drone fired a combination of shots.

The drone launched a rocket from the wing.

The rocket hurtled toward Seth.

Seth glared fiercely. "Bloody hell! It's a rocket!!!"

[ Kabooooooooommmmm!! ]

The spire of an office building explodes over Seth's head. Blow it up and cause chunks of concrete debris to plunge freely into the asphalt.

Screaming people running for their lives.

"Get out of my way! Move!"

Seth moved in all directions. He needs to get out of this crowd. The sky opened, and he became an easy target for helicopters and military drones still chasing him so hard.

"I can see it, that's The Bugatti Veyron!" said Seth, overjoyed when he saw the car parked in front of the Metro Bank. "Are you sure it's yours? Not someone else's?!"

[ Get into the Bugatti Veyron now, Seth! No questions yet! The Mercenaries mustered all their options! Just do it! ] 

A crowd of people running around in panic stifled his steps, and a drone fired another rocket.

"God damn it!" Seth muttered with bated breath.

He seemed trapped on a battlefield.

[ Zuuuuungggg! ]

The rocket hurtled towards him.

However, the mysterious caller's jet fighter reinforcements come darting, maneuvering, and launching their rocket to destroy the drone rocket belonging to the mercenary organization The Codex.

[ Buuuuuuuuummmm! ]

“Shit!”

Seth could not believe what he saw. The jet fighter came to the rescue. Now the jet chasing a drone military away and pursuing into the city skies.

A powerful explosion soared in the air. The burst of fire created a faint shock wave that hit the ground.

Seth managed to get out of the crowd of people. He approached the shiny black Bugatti Veyron car. The door opens automatically.

[ Put on your seat belt. Hang on, Seth. It's gonna be a little stressful. ]

"Woah! You're talking from the loudspeaker now?" Seth nodded back.

[ Engine start. ]

[ Wuuuuuungggg! ]

[I'm an integrated system, and I'm everywhere. ]

With a seatbelt on, Seth drives away from the chaotic city with rubble and concrete debris falling from skyscrapers.

"Bloody hell! This car drives itself!!" Seth shrilled in shock.

[ Relax! I said this car integrated with my system. ]

Seth held on tight; this Bugatti was going at top speed.

"Wait. What do you mean by an integrated system? I don't get it."

[ You have to get used to my system. ]

"Watch out! There's another car! I'm gonna die!"

[ Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt ] 

[You'll be fine. Just sit tight and stop yelling! ] 

"Sorry! My bad! Shit! But your car is so cool!"

Feel that black Bugatti's going at high speed and smooth.

Seth's like drifting.

The glass of the black Bugatti Veyron car lights up like a screen, showing a series of advanced graphics, patterns, quick calculations, and eye-catching navigation systems.

[ Pick. Pick. Pick. ]

The tablet in its dashboard issued a keyboard slot, and in the middle appeared other advanced buttons to the surface.

"What the hell?" Seth muttered in bewilderment, "This is incredible!"

[ Don't be happy just yet! Focus on the road. Rhinos in the back chased you. Be careful, and the Rhinos got a series of deadly weapons. He'll do anything to stop you. I'm taking care of the helicopter with the jet I sent. ] 

"What do you mean a series of deadly weapons?"

Seth could not breathe a sigh of relief yet, and it turned out that the situation was much worse than he expected.
