TSSITWON Chapter 119: Starting the Raid
🕑 Added 2024-12-06 12:24:09 +0000 UTCThis black market is a grim place, with narrow alleys filled with the faint sounds of footsteps and whispered secrets. The metallic smell mingles with a foul odor from who knows where, making the atmosphere feel even more oppressive.
Their journey to this market was much quicker compared to Aoki. While Aoki had to spend a lot of time resting and training the women of the Brothel House, Kurisu faced no such obstacles.
Kurisu's members only needed a brief rest, allowing them to move faster.
As they entered the heart of the black market, Kurisu blended in with the crowd. Kurisu's steps appeared relaxed, but her eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
Although it seemed like she was walking aimlessly, Kurisu knew exactly where she needed to go—her main destination was the building where Bounty exchanges took place.
After navigating through several dimly lit alleys filled with suspicious glances, Kurisu finally arrived in front of the intended building.
The structure looked like an old warehouse from the outside, but the aura of danger emanating from it was unmistakable. Kurisu could feel sharp gazes watching her every move.
Taking a deep breath, Kurisu pushed open the heavy wooden door and stepped inside. The interior was even darker, illuminated only by a few oil lanterns.
In the center of the room, an old man sat behind a worn wooden counter. Amidst the silence of the room, Kurisu could sense the presence of others—at least three, maybe five, hidden in the shadows.
"This won't be easy," Kurisu thought. She realized that raiding this place directly would be suicide. But, as usual, Kurisu had little choice. With steady steps, she approached the old man.
"I want—" Kurisu began, but before she could finish her sentence, her hand moved swiftly. A kunai shot from her grip, embedding itself right in the old man's neck. There was no time to react. The man gasped, coughed up blood, and then collapsed to the floor.
Kurisu leaped over the counter nimbly, landing smoothly behind it. Without hesitation, she opened the wooden door behind the counter and entered a narrow hallway.
Heavy footsteps began to echo behind her—those who had been hidden were now on the move. Kurisu wasted no time. She grabbed several kunai equipped with explosive seals and threw them into various corners of the hallway.
"Boom!" The sound of the explosion reverberated, shaking the narrow corridor. Splinters of wood and dust flew, creating a temporary barrier between Kurisu and her pursuers. Kurisu did not look back; she just kept running toward her goal.
At the end of the hallway, Kurisu stopped in front of a large room filled with rows of large safes. This was the morgue, a cold room that exuded a sharp scent of death. Several armed men stood there, glaring at Kurisu with threatening looks.
Without a second thought, Kurisu quickly pulled out an Explosive Kunai from her bag. She threw it with a swift motion, causing the guards near the safes to flinch and immediately prepare to dodge.
Their faces showed sharp vigilance, but they had no time to mount a counterattack.
As they attempted to leap sideways to avoid the explosion, Kurisu continued her assault by throwing Shuriken with additional seals toward them. The attack was so fast and unexpected that it caused them to momentarily freeze mid-movement.
"Boom!"
The explosion from the Explosive Kunai shook the room, hitting the guards and throwing them in various directions. Some were slammed against the walls, while others lay helplessly on the floor.
Seeing the chaos unfold, Kurisu quickly shifted her gaze to the row of safes in the room. Her eyes were fixed on one safe that looked different from the others.
