"Ring! Ring!" Santiago was calling the person responsible for receiving him for the negotiation at the elite headquarters.Make a Wish had already made the first contact and managed to arrange a meeting for those early hours of the morning. Everything was arranged for that meeting, and Santiago just needed to call before his arrival so he could be received."CATCHA!" someone on the other end of the phone answered."Hello, shall I speak with General Sanders?""It's the recruit himself!""Great. This is Taylor Creed, the salesman. May I be at your facility in 20 minutes?""Of course, you can, we are really waiting for you.""Then I'm already on my way!""Copy that."Santiago hung up the call and left with Gabriel for that gigantic headquarters, which looked like a small city inside Lumini. The lights were still lit and on the way there, Santiago put on his headphones to better memorize his text sheet with his intentions as a businessman."I am Taylor Creed, and I am a very famous weapon
"And now what do we do Gabriel? Are we clear to go in?" Santiago spoke in Gabriel's mind as General Sanders directed the two toward the devices."Don't worry. Don't forget who we are," Gabriel looked calm and couldn't smile because that wasn't part of his character.Santiago and Gabriel accompanied General Sanders to the two devices he had requested for the two of them to approach. Santiago placed the briefcase he was carrying on top of a scanner and climbed into the metal detector. The briefcase didn't pose any warning and the scanner didn't make any noise. But when Santiago was at the metal detector he beeped "Beep!""Looks like you're carrying something with you, Sir Taylor.""Ah, I almost forgot. It's impossible for a weapon salesman like me to go around unarmed. As you know, it's these little instruments that make us feel safe""But you will have to leave this here at the entrance, since there is a bodyguard, we will just leave him in charge of your security""Alright, no problem
Santiago couldn't figure out how he had ended up in that trap. His head thought of the several answers he could give but nothing came to mind.“Calm down Santiago. There's no need to be afraid. Just tell them that any elite headquarters they come across must have a secret equipment room. Or they think this is the first time you've done business with headquarters." Hernand mentally spoke to Santiago."Hahahaha!" Santiago started to laugh, making the atmosphere in the room less tense than it was. "Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen...who do you think you are talking to? With a newcomer in the business of weapon sales? Or with one of your private organizations who has been supplying you with weapons so far? Remembering that they are weapons that are not equivalent to mine." Santiago slammed his hands hard on the huge wooden table in the meeting room "Tap!""I am Taylor Creed, one of the greatest weapon sellers ever seen in all of history. There are over a billion weapons in the world and
"All defenses are being disabled for security system maintenance. I repeat. All defenses are being disabled for security system maintenance." a computer system with a female voice spoke through speakers throughout the headquarters building."As you can hear I did my job, the easy part. The hardest part is yours," Santiago was mentally speaking to Gabriel and Henrnad."You did a good job Monsieur Taylor Creed! I'm coming to get you out of there, wait for me.""Santiago, thank you. Ahhh! I'm already on fire, just be careful not to die," Hernand and Gabriel spoke to Santiago and started to act.*Now I just need to wait for Gabriel, I believe he will be here in 10 minutes.*"BANG! BANG! BANG!" Santiago could begin to hear gunshots upstairs. Gabriel had started the party."Pat! Pat! Pat!" General Sanders was running towards that room where the button that disabled all the headquarters' defenses was located."Sir Taylor! What did you do?" General Sanders grabbed the gun at his waist "Crack
Hernand as soon as he saw the titanium hatches of that building open and heard that voice saying that the defenses were being deactivated. He took off the hoodie he was wearing and just using his torn pants, he began to run, showing off the sculptural physical stature he had, catching the swing of the tallest building and closest to the headquarters, barefoot with his feet on fire and increasing his speed to 400 km/h. When he jumped from the edge of that building the flames on his entire body ignited like a small meteorite."FRUUUSSSHH!" it was in free fall into that huge window inside the headquarters that had its defenses completely disabled. The pane in that window was huge, and the glass was very thick. A Helicopter could land on it without running the risk of breaking it. Hernand increased his firepower and before he hit, the glass began to melt. When he hit it, it was already as fragile as normal glass "PRASH!", the glass shattered and Hernand fell from that height of over 30 m
"Yeah, maybe I don't understand. But I didn't come here for your money.""I know you didn't come for my life either, you f*cker. If not, I'd already be dead. Quickly say what you want and disappear, so I can move to another headquarters.""You're not afraid, Chief of the Monte Real Elite Headquarters?" Hernand was surprised at how calm that man was, and how often he offended him even knowing that he was the invading enemy of that headquarters. The person who was exploding with everything."If I were even a bit afraid of you, I wouldn't be head of security across the entire country. I have more power than the defense minister himself. I know your ilk very well, humans genetically modified to gain some superhuman powers. And you still think you can come here and try to defeat us at your boss's behest. I don't know what you came here to do, but you won't get anything out of me. I'm known for not negotiating with thieves.""But you're the bad guy here. I don't understand. It's not me who
"Aight! I'm done. I held out as long as I could. What you leaders think you are. You're all a bunch of self-centered people who only think about your bellies. I know deep down you're all pickles from the same can. You don't know how much we've done for the world to keep it balanced. You scumbags. RATCHUUUPP! And whoever told you I was genetically changed, this is naturally a gift given by heaven, so that I would have the power to change the world." Hernand spat in that old man's face, threw his dying body to the ground "Paff!" and only had 30 seconds to use his remaining powers. There was a new barricade of men outside that office who pointed their guns at him. They just didn't shoot because their boss was being held, hostage.*I only have two more explosions. Let's get this over with* Hernand opened the window on that top floor and the men who pointed guns at him had some hope of arresting him."Stopped! Surrender! You have nowhere else to run. You..."Hernand didn't even finish list
As soon as the headquarters building stopped shaking completely, Santiago stepped out from under Gabriel. Both got up and Santiago looked at the stairs that gave access to that place. The wall that accompanied it was painted that lifeless black, and on the stairs, there were some lifeless charred bodies that had come flying there because of the explosion.“Hernand did all this? How is it possible? Does his power have this magnitude of damage?”“Now you can better understand why he was never dethroned from the top spot, right?”“Yeah, I understand. I also don't see who will be able to get it out so soon. My power next to his is like it doesn’t even exist.”“Do you think you could be killed by his power?”“I don't know, but it would be difficult to get out alive” Santiago and Gabriel were talking mentally while more explosions were heard outside that building and the ground shook.“Hey! Stop there. You two were the main cause of what is happening. I never thought you were an infiltrator
