18 The Raid and 3 Strikes

The FBI SWAT team and task force were closing in on Alex's warehouse, expecting to find evidence of his involvement with Rogue Retribution. The adrenaline was pumping, and they had to move quickly to catch him off guard.

Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Alex and his waifu squad were engrossed in a harem anime, enjoying a brief respite from their activities. The main character's ability to effortlessly attract multiple love interests sparked a conversation.

Alex: "If only real life were that easy, right? I mean, it's not like you can have multiple love interests with so little effort..."

Chasato responded with a heart-skipping smile, "Who says it isn't?"

Before Alex could fully process her comment, Mika interrupted, revealing a critical piece of information.

Mika: "Hold on, Alex, we've got trouble. A sleeper agent just spotted an FBI SWAT team convoy about to raid us."

Alex cursed under his breath. He knew he'd been a bit lax with organizational security and had taken too many liberties. If it weren't for his commanders handling sleeper agents and hacker observers behind the scenes, they might have been caught off guard. Now, he was faced with an imminent FBI raid, and they had to act quickly.

Panicking, Alex began to look around the warehouse for incriminating evidence. His system and Rogue Retribution stash were well-protected, but there were some miscellaneous items like phones and technology looted from earlier raids, as well as firearms from previous investigations. These were problematic, and he had to find a solution. In a moment of desperation, he decided to stash everything into his system, hoping to outwit the FBI.

As the FBI SWAT team arrived and stormed the warehouse, they detained Alex and his waifu squad, who were taken aback by the sudden intrusion. The team searched the premises thoroughly but found nothing that could directly link Alex to Rogue Retribution or criminal activities. They were getting frustrated, and the task force's lead agent, Sarah, approached Alex. She might be able to intimidate him at the station with the drone tracking evidence.

Sarah: "You'll have to come into the station for questioning, Alex."

Alex, aware of his rights, asked if he was under arrest.

Alex: "Am I being detained? No I will not answer any questions."

When the response was negative, he refused to answer their questions, and the situation escalated.

Mark, one of the FBI agents, grew frustrated with Alex's resistance. He delivered a punch to Alex's stomach, and then another. Sarah restrained Mark and told him to calm down.

Alex, who had the Tarko system enhancing his physical attributes, could handle the hits. He was more frustrated than hurt by the police brutality and decided to make a bold remark and a smirk.

Alex: "Well, you just lost your job."

Mark couldn't contain his anger and threw another punch at Alex's abdomen.

Mark:"Shut Up, Bitch!

Sarah was torn, trying to de-escalate the situation, but it was getting out of control. Meanwhile, the waifu squad felt Alex's anger through the summoner's link, and Mika warned of the potential consequences.

Mika: "If you do that again, you won't live see tomorrow."

As Sarah observed the waifu squad, she noticed an unnerving intensity in their eyes. Some seemed like rabid dogs, visibly angry, while others exuded an eerie, quiet menace. Their eye colors, which were unusual and initially thought to be contacts, appeared to be genuine.

Sarah: "Threatening an officer is illegal, and besides we are the ones in control here."

Fascinated and unsettled, Sarah gave Mark the green light to punch Alex once more.
