Hunting

It has 3 floors, a small restaurant with local food and a nice reception. It's nothing amazing but not bad either considering this city is no different than a small town and the population hopefully exceeds 10,000.

"..." Walking cautiously to the window, Christian leans against the wall and closes his eyes.

The night was relatively peaceful, Christian slept without a problem thanks to his tiredness due to the trip, but when his sleep was going great, a sudden knock on his window instantly alarmed him, causing him to wake up quickly and prepare for any attack.

After all, a knock on his window cannot be a mere mistake, since his current room is on the third floor.

Opening his eyes again but this time with his vision in purple, Christian moves the curtain slightly and peeks out cautiously, only to frown deeply as he manages to see the cause of the noise "These sons of bitches..."

There was the same man who followed him by vehicle, standing in front of his lodging staring at his window while grinning widely showing his teeth.

"Tsk" Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Christian returned his vision to normal and sat down on his bed, while annoyance expressed itself on his face "These sons of bitches... they're really overdoing it."

Squinting into nothingness, Christian picked up his cell phone and looked up Gluttony's contact, then texted.

-Prepare 3 suitcases of explosives. I don't need them to be that lethal, just enough to cause a big noise and alarm everyone around them. Then contact Envy and tell him to find a way into China free of espionage, plot a route to his government house, and make a withdrawal plan-

"They like to put me on probation?" turning his gaze to the window, Christian smiled and murmured "Good, have the results you seek."

"As for that grinning bastard..." Squinting towards the window, Christian sighed "I don't have my people here yet, if he escapes today, he lives, but if he comes back tomorrow.... I'll make sure his corpse has an eternal smile."

"For now there's only sleep" Yawning lazily, Christian put his knife back under the pillow and lay down on the bed, then covered up and closed his eyes.

*Tick*

Hearing again the small noise of the tapping against the window, Christian's eyebrows twitched and he chuckled softly "How amazing how annoying cockroaches can be."

***

"Sons of bitches... they're really looking to piss me off" Looking out the window, Christian's focus was not on the sea let alone the beautiful sun shining on it, but on the new man looking at his window with a smile.

The knocking never stopped coming to his window, minute after minute Christian had to endure that damn knocking. Although the sound wasn't loud, someone like Christian who always has his senses at their peak, that little sound can easily wake him up.

"It's pretty obvious they're messing with me..." Closing the curtain, Christian put on his shoes and muttered "My people arrive in a few hours, for starters I'll make those bastards sleep with the fishes, but... tsk, this damn town is my weak spot."

Christian's greatest current power is his great source of information. Being able to control almost all the technology in the world thanks to his quantum computer, Christian is able to know almost everything in advance whenever there is a camera, cell phone or any intelligent device that is connected to a satellite or the internet.

But within this town, the amount of cameras in the area is incredibly low, while high-end cell phones are only left to the youngest, which is the minority.

Even if the old cell phones have microphones, they are practically useless if they are not close to the people who are hunting Christian, so apart from focusing on every little rumor you hear, they have nothing relevant.

Not to mention that the surroundings of the town are quite rustic and difficult to watch.

With the sea in front of him and large plains behind him, Christian has no fixed point where he can leave people to watch unless he brings 200-400 people here, something that would be impossible to hide from such a small town.

"The only good thing is that Dublin is about 50 minutes away, I doubt that they will make big havoc like using missiles in plain sight having the capital of the country so close."

That's something that worries Christian a little. While he has absolute confidence in his abilities, knowing how to fight won't help him at all when faced with a cruise missile or a large missile launcher attack.

It may be impossible to do that in a big city like New York, but right now it is in a small town where 10,000 people can be considered a number worth sacrificing.

Even if the Irish government knows that China did the attack, under covert deals, they would blame it on a random terrorist group and the government would not think twice about forming deals with China.

Obviously this would happen if the attack is far from the capital, because it would be virtually impossible for the government to excuse itself from such an attack having its strongest point only minutes away.

"Good grief..." Looking down at his hands as a smile unconsciously formed on his face, Christian muttered "It's been a while since I've felt this adrelanin coursing through my veins? It's been a long time since I got out of the war... I seem to have missed it more than I thought..."

Adjusting his suit tie, Christian looked at himself in the mirror and muttered with a big grin "They want to hunt me down... what fun."

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

"Mn?" Pulling out his cell phone, Christian looks at the caller ID and mutters "Envy..."

Answering the call, Christian holds his cell phone to his ear and speaks "Good morning honey, is something wrong?"

"We've already managed to identify who's targeting you." Without even saying hello, Envy answered seriously, and then continued "Obviously it's the Chinese who pushed the whole thing, but not China in general, but the Long family. You already have history with them so it's to be expected."

"..."

"They sent a so-called occult group that acts as a cult, they don't seem to use weapons but they look dangerous, they are close to the village where you are."

"..."

"But the thorniest thing, is that Blackwater is the one playing that little game with the person outside your window. They got $100 million for your head and they'll give them another $50 million if they take you alive."

"Blackwater..." Frowning slightly, Christian replied "Really those little shits don't know fear?"

"Remember we don't have a reputation yet, I think this is the perfect opportunity."

"Mmmm... You do know Blackwater is in the Morgan family, don't you?"

"I know, that's why I say we should set an example."

"..." Thinking silently for a few seconds, Christian sits on the bed and comments "I was planning to blow up the Chinese government palace, but if it's just the Long family, I'll change my plans..."

"You already have a plan?"

"Obviously" Smiling slightly, Christian continued "There are power laws. The ones I prefer the most are a few, being unpredictable, total annihilation and negotiation.... How many Blackwater soldiers are in Ireland?"

"About 100."

"Mmmm... I know Blackwater is no different than a pirate group, but do you think they deserve to disappear?"

"At least 9 terabytes of files on their crimes."

"I see..." Turning his gaze to the window, Christian continued "How many bases do they have?"

"About 17 bases, mostly in Africa."

"Personnel?"

"Around 10,000."

"Of those 17 bases, how many are logistical?"

"Only 5."

"Well..." Thinking silently for a few minutes, Christian continued "I want you to find every Blackwater mercenary not at their base. Also tell Gluttony to prepare or get missiles powerful enough to blow up a military base."

"You know they have radar and air defense, right?"

"Since when is technology a problem?" chuckling, Christian continued "We'll avoid direct combat, but with mercenaries on the loose around the world, you'll have to send a team to kill them one by one. I want each team to be ready to kill their target the instant we blow the base."

"It will be a little difficult, maybe a week at least to prepare everything... can you handle a week with those 100 mercenaries on your back?"

"Alright, I'll play with them as long as it takes" With a carefree smile, Christian continued "Also tell Gluttony to call off the attack on the government palace and we'll shift the focus to the Long family's main mansion, I want you to prepare me an entry route and a retreat route. I will personally blow up their home."

"I have a better idea"

"I hear you."

"You know the Chinese always aim for their own necks, don't you?"

"Yes"

"What do you say we take out Blackwater and that strange group the Chinese sent over first? That would give us a solid position to negotiate with a rival family of Longs, I'm sure we can get help to bring them down."

"It's not that easy to deal with the Chinese" Shaking his head, Christian continued "Although they always kill each other, they are extremely patriotic. They despise foreigners and there is nothing more they detest than an outsider wreaking havoc in their country."

"I can take care of that. It's not hard to start fights between them, after all the Long family has another rather lustful young lady."

"Hoh... who's she fucking?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"So incredible is it?"

"A 21-year-old girl with a 59-year-old man."

"Ugh" With a disgusted face, Christian replied "That shit isn't just lust anymore, it's fucking sick."

"The old man is not badly cared for, but I think the addition of the old man's son in the bed makes her forget her age."

"Oh... father and son trio, that bitch must live a woman's dream... but whose husband is he?"

"Xi family's, in fact he's the husband of China's political head."

[A/N: Don't forget that the Xi family is one of the two families in China that control political power. The current 'president' of China is from the Xi family, while the Long family is one of the two families that control the military].

"Fuck... and that old lady doesn't know anything?"

"The Long family is a family that controls military intelligence, it's not hard to hide that."

"That's funny" Rubbing his chin, Christian nodded "Well, I'll leave the Chinese territory to you, let me know if you have any problems."

"Understood, I'll initiate plans to hit Blackwater...now that I remember, you asked for Greed?"

"Yes."

"Greed is busy on a mission, I sent you to Wrath along with a good team, but are you sure about that idea of yours?"

"I know there is no worse idea than digging in, that's why I was planning to act erratically to make them increase their wariness, but now with these new ingredients in the mix, I guess I might as well take that risk for now"

"Are you sure you can handle that? They're pretty experienced mercenaries, not to mention we don't know how many Chinese are out to get you."

"Alright, I'll handle them along with Wrath, but I need you to tell me their locations."

"I'll send you what we have for now, but I still don't recognize all the Chinese as they don't seem to have any tech on them. If it wasn't for the fact that they hung out for a few minutes with the Blackwater guys, we would never know they were already there."

"Can you leave a team of you monitoring this town?"

"I already have a team on standby for any signals, don't worry."
