BRAGR) An Unwanted Situation (Patreon)

“Who… Gave… You… The… Right… To… Treat… Me… Like… A… Tool..?” With each word, I rained down two punches. I currently had Davis pinned to the ground, and I was not in a happy mood. Who the hell gave the government the right to treat me as some object to be exploited, and this bastard thought he was hot stuff? The scent of blood entered my nose, causing me to grin. The sweet scent of iron was something I had been starting to really enjoy. It was as if it was calling me.

I stood up and closed my eyes before slowly opening them and looking down at my hands. Crimson red. The color of fresh blood stained my hands. The urge to kill was slowly filling my thoughts. But I know for now I can not kill bastards like this. Even just hitting him had already caused me to cross the line, but I couldn’t control myself. Not that they could take me down even if they tried.

Bang! 

Ping!

The sound of gunfire was followed by the sound of a bullet ricocheting off the blade of the sword that appeared in front of me. “Dirty fucking human! You dare to attack my Master!? You deserve death!”

It took a second to realize what was happening. By the time I reacted the blade of Hilde’s sword almost pierced through Davis’s head. I had just caught her wrist before it could follow through. “Hilde, no.”

“Master? Why? He tried to kill you!” Hilde did not seem to understand. But that was understandable since she did not know the laws of this world.

“I know. But we still can’t kill him. No matter how much of an asshole he is. We can not kill him just yet.” I meant it when I said just yet. This bastard was going to be my first target once all hell broke loose.

“Understood…” Hilde frowned and stepped back behind me. Luckily, I was able to stop her quickly enough. She had moved so fast I almost did not move in time.

I looked down at Davis, whose eyes were filled with fear, and snorted: “Davis, army or not, you have no right to fire at a civilian or even your own people.”

 “I already had someone call Officer Higgins over.” Angel worked fast. I nodded and smiled at her before raising my foot and dropping it on Davis’s stomach.

“Cough! Fuck! Bitch!” Davis yelled as he held his stomach.

“Call me what you want. I have been called worse,” I replied and went to raise my foot once more, but this time, he curled up on his side to keep me from hitting his stomach.

“What happened!?” Officer Higgins ran over. Luckily, he had been in the area.

“This idiot tried to impose martial law on a civilian and then shot at me after I beat him up!” I replied honestly. I was not going to hide it. Everyone saw me do it! I can’t hide it!

I watched as Officer Higgins gave me a strange look before shaking his head. “Alright, you hitting him is one thing, but him shooting you is another. Do you want to press charges?”

“Nah, since he can press charges on me for hitting him. If he is willing to let it go, we can call it a day. Plus, he owes me his life just now.” My gaze fell on the idiot on the ground. Davis looked up at me with his jaw clenched I could swear I could him him grinding his teeth.

After a few minutes, Davis finally said: “We can just leave it at that, but the order passed down by the president still stands.”

 “Tell the president to shove it up his ass. All his wages come from taxpayer money. He works for the people, not the other way around. Unless I volunteer my services, none of you can make me do shit. If you wish to keep forcing the issue, I will be forced to turn the streets into a river of blood. Do not make me kill humans. If any of you had listened to a word I said during my interview, none of this shit would be happening right now. But now it is too late. Not a single one of you can level up quickly enough to be of any use. You are just sitting on your asses, giving out orders and making others do the dirty work. I mean, you got all your men over here instead of helping the police contain the monster!” I really had no idea what was going on through this man’s mind. He was doing everything backwards!

“Davis, she has a point. I myself think you are abusing your power. Since no one is pressing charges against the other things need to break up. Miss, you girls can be on your way. I will deal with Davis and his lack of understanding of what is more important.” Officer Higgins was a good man! To bad he is bald and a man. Otherwise, I might have been interested in him.

I finally let a smile form on my lips. “Once more, I owe you one, Officer Higgins. Remember what I said before. Try to level up as much as you can.”

“Haha! I already am.” Officer Higgins replied with a smile of his own.

“Officer Higgins,” Angel called out to him and handed a business card over to him. Officer Higgins looked at her in confusion. “Please give my father a call when you can today. There are a few things you should know.”

“I will.” Officer Higgins was still slightly confused, but he took the business card and put it in his breast pocket. I can see why Angel was doing this. Having someone who seemed to get the situation more than others was someone we should be pulling to our side. The best part was he had police training and maybe military training as well, which would be useful later on.
